...."'Marshmellow'? Like the sugary fluffy treat? Awwwww! Seeing how incredibly jolly and playful she was, it certainly fits the wolf, good pick...? Ah, and yes, I'd be happy to hear some stories, thank you! M...maybe not now though. Curious what Pokemon you met, what nature has thrown at you and whether you managed to find rare or unique plants!"

At reciving that soft-praise, the grassy sauropode flaps and spreads his wings to the fullest, casting a noticably breeze all over the surrounding before beginning to circle a few meters above the ground. Fidgeting a little in her belongings, Shiva eventually draws a half handfull of dried berries and throws them up into the high where Tropius catches them one after another. Haaah, snacks before things will get serious taste sweeter.


*more curious glancing over to Terra* She guesses that he does indeed origine from Hoenn then, so far she could only speculate. "Tropius I mostly met out of.... I guess, pure luck. Me and the others were traveling through the mountains not far from Ginger Town when that stampede arrived us, it was bascially a batch of pokemon simply running. Among them was he as well, and given how I....eh.....do enjoy Grass Types greatly.... The Nanab Berries and fruit he grows are indeed good though, youcanhavesomelaterifyoulike! ">//<

"*Smiles even more* Yes. Marshmallows are her favorite food, and its funny and....appropriate name for her too, so I named her after them. Thank you for your kind words."

 He only nods his head at the rest of her statement. If she's [i]that [/i]interested in his life and times, he's more than willing to regale them to her so long as she wants.

Basteele is unimpressed by the high flying greens theatric, thumping up and down aggressively as she gave them her meanest, fiercest glare possible! Just because you're a big Flying type doesn't mean squat to her, so she's going to clip your wings and bring you CRASHING DOWN!!! Shiranui just let out a comradery laugh at the display before squaring off against the Tropius, happy and eager to face off against a type he's Weak too! Let's see how tough the competition, yeah!

".....Huh, that is....strange. Tropius live in jungles and thick tall grass back home, so you finding one in the....Great Divide - is that the name of Cheshire's mountains? - is surprising. Hm....guess that is another odd thing about Cheshire...."

The simple monk's eyebrows rose as the Fairy woman offered to share her Tropius sweet and delicious Nanabs…and then chuckled as he nodded.

"Yes......I would. Thank you very much, Shiva."

*Timeskip: After Round 3!*

Terra was fairly astonished that Shiva's leafy sauropod pulled off what appeared to be Cheshire's Legendary variant of ROCK SMASH, a Move that his boss Ven described AND warned him in great detail to him. 


'Ven said that HM Moves here shouldn't be used unless in a Gym Match, special tournament, and not in regular Battles or where others can see it. Said that it would cause bad problems for everyone if HM used any other time. Hm....but this Battle is private and far away from other people, so I guess its okay for her to use it. ….Hopefully,' the herculean man worriedly thought, before he successfully rationalized its usage and nodded to himself, now appearing more serious than ever at seeing the HM....but also greatly impressed by the display.

"Shiva....that was ROCK SMASH, yes? Seen Move used before by others back home...but never THAT bold or strong. …The HMs here are as... mighty as Ven said they were. He told me all about them. Said they are powerful, and..... 'should not be used without utmost care, deliberation, or in the most dire of circumstance' , unless in a Gym battle or Important Tournament."

*Pauses for a moment, then continues*


" …He said it was okay to use it....privately or around other group members.....but you did not know that I knew about ROCK SMASH. …Not smart decision, but I am fine with it. ….Be more careful next using HM, Shiva. I don't want anything bad happening to you because you used a HM wrongly....okay?"

He sounded serious and....concerned throughout his speech, his expression now one of mild worry and admonishment. Thick headed as he is on most things outside his limited sphere of Knowledge/expertise, Ven DID impress on him the severity of improper HM usage, and after seeing RS himself he understood why he was. He respected Cheshire's HM already from what he's been told of them, but now....now he's  in downright awe of them. …Maybe one day he would be worthy enough to have his Pokémon taught RS, and use it themselves....

Oh, and he did pick up and munched on the half of the Nanab Berry Basteele tossed to him, and gave her a thumbs up. Shiva did say he could have one later, and he's not letting good nutrition go to waste!

(What are Shiranui's and Basteele's reaction to ROCK SMASH being used, Iron? I would say they would be impressed, but how so?)
