[Lord Windos]

Spoiler

Remaining in a 'Pleasepleaseplease!!!' stance and giving that big green Flygon super-effective Baby-Doll Eyes as she displayed pondering about her offer to do ALL SORTS OF THINGS together, and eventually a big big BIG and cheerful smile formes on her expression as she jumped of joy over Flyg....Genie's agreement. If there wouldn't be a battle going on currently, she's probably leap over to their side even and start to plot things right away. C:

"Thank you, Genie!! Thank you too, Terra!! Aww, we'll have so much FUN together, doing this and doing that, and Cottonee will like you much when she finally evolves and.... Ah, and please don't be too worried, Terra.... She's your Pokemon, you know best, and you remaining nearby would be very appreciated and even asked. Don't overdo it though Genie, or else you might get more ICE BEAMS or ICE SHARDS or DRAINING KISSES slapped right into your precious green scales!" That's said in a playful and sarcastic tone and she punches the air everytime she names a move here, but Shiva does seem capable of make that real if the Desert Princess misbehaves or overdoes things. How she herself would be so eager to do things with a DRAGON Type aside from slaying it is a complete new feeling for the natural fae enthusiast, but this Flygon doesn't seem to be an ordinary Flygon at all.

How Terra is pretty much thrown for a loop she does notice, but she discretly doesn't comment. Maybe over time or when she opens up about it he'll get used to how her mood can swing drastically under the right/wrong circumstances.

Slowly calming and cooling down now though, she eventually trotts over to her butterwolfy herself to give him a dear hug around his neck for his performance, all with nuzzling his black neck fur, before he gets recalled into the safety of his Ball. With that done, she opts to give Terra a respectful bow for the match: "T...thank you for that battle... It, eh, maybe didn't went too well, but I'm feeling like I learned something and I hope you did too." *raising again and throwing her hair back* "Shall we... head to the Center then, together? My Pokemon... a-and yours especially... do need to be patched up."


++ Sometime along the way ++

Rather carefully and hesitant, Shiva does speak up to the wandering monk, she doesn't seem to be sure how to put in words what she wanted to say. "So, eh.... I like your Pokemon (aside from Basteele maybe, but it'd be rude to say that). So....strong and tough! I do have a loong way to go before being a match to you." Her expression saddens a little on that.

"But, ah... That's alright, I do enjoy just playing or caring for my Pokemon instead of directly training them to fight! I, well, also started to dabble in Move Tutoring due to that, it's not much more than advanced and refined 'spending Time with a Pokemon'... I did notice your Pokemon appear a little scarce in thei movepool, so, eh... if you'd like, think about it and let me know if you'd like to have a move tutored? It takes some days, but it's worth it."


At the Center, ALL of Shiva's Pokemon are handed to the current Nurse Joy in duty with the request to heal them up - overnight for the fainted ones, she'll ask for Mightyena to be healed primarly as she'd like to train with him later this day still. Once that's done she takes a complete new party of six to her person (will update sheet in a little), and thankfully follows Terra to the Tea Ceremony to drink tea, see what last Pokemon he owns and enjoy the performance of the Eeveelutions. Vaporeon is out to watch of course, and Raphael and Cottonee can too if there's room and desire.

Genie didn't seem to be deterred or cowed at all by the heartfelt woman's threats- in fact, she appeared to be quite bemused! Oh, so this fae woman has some spunk to her, does she now? Te he he...that'll make 'playing' and plotting with her even more exciting and interesting, so she's all too approving of such bluster! Of course, if they end up making good on their threats for no particularly 'good' reason, she'll be all too eager to demonstrate the more wicked and diabolical side of her fae nature, te he he ha.....~

For his part, Terra agrees to be there while Shiva and co interact with his 'Fairy' Princess, shooting his dragoness a warning look when he saw them become amused. Another eye roll was her response, but he knew that she'd behave mostly well around them....so long as he keeps a close watch on her. If not....who knows WHAT trouble she'll get into.

The simple monk let out a *Sigh* of relief as Shiva agreed to end the match, as he didn't savor the though of either his mischievous dragoness nor the wing wolf enduring unnecessary hardship just for the shake of 'winning' a fight. Battles were often competition of Strength, Skill, and all sorts of other qualities that were often highly competitive and merciless (for a given value of the word), but that didn't mean they always had to be that way. This match was a test of the heartfelt's woman's metal, experience with Pokémon ,and to get a better understanding of her personality, not a beatdown, after all.

Soon after, Terra returned the lady's bow with a nod of his head and a friendly smile, and stuck his hand out for a handshake.

"You are welcome. You fought very well and with great.....cleverness, and took the Strength of my partners without giving up or becoming....too unhappy. Learned much about you, yes....and I liked it all. Thank you for the match, Shiva. Be proud.....of your efforts, and stand tall."

He then wordlessly nodded to her agreement to get to the Pokémon Center ASAP, and journied back their in peaceful silence. Though he may of not a made a friend of her today, and in fact probably did a lot of harm to their fledging bond by being so adamant about Basteele's right to use Explosion whenever, Terra though that things went well with Shiva overall. Only time would tell if such developments continues...

(…)

Along the journey, the rugged wanderer was surprised for the umpteth time by Shiva at her casual mention of being a Move Tutor. This woman was just full of unexpectected talents, wasn't she?

"You are a Move Tutor....? And you are....offering to teach my Pokémon your secrets, and give them such gifts? …This is almost too much of a honor for us all....but I accept. *Stops and bows to her steeply out of respect* Thank you for kindness and.....generosity, wise woman...."

Huh, well how about that for a reaction?

Orders: After arriving at the Pokémon Center, he hands over All his Pokémon but Lovely and Michael (Since he wasn't even scratched in that battle!) to the Nurse for treatment, and (If possible) adds Duskull and requests his Dunsparse Egg from Shiva to hold. Hey, if he has the party space, might as well use it! He then tells her about his plans to attend the Tea Ceremony, and maybe fight one of the Kimono Girls, and politely asks if she'd like to join him if she shows any interest. Then he goes over to the TC, and that's that! Lovely will be chosen for the fight, and he'll summon her in a fairly non-pluused manner to face whomever he ends up fighting.
