[Game thread] Skull Ruins Pokerole

Original Post

Whoahw. Shiva has silently hoped that Tanuki would remember her from Little Cup, but that she indeed does - That left her speechless, all she can do is to joyfully return that hug ! <3 "I'm here for an awesome battle against nonelse but you yourself! But... I'm in no hurry, how have you been doing since Little Cup? How are your Zigzagoon doing, can I pet one? They're so cute!"ヽ(°〇°)ﾉ "Oh, and I saw your drawing in the Museum and I love it! Have you always been drawing?"

Talking about Mount Sentry stuff is boring, that's seemingly not what Shiva's here for.

"I think they only put up my drawing because I'm the Gym Leader, but yeah I draw all the time! It's a great way to relax from my duties."

"I've been doing well. It's very quiet here. Zigzagoon has found a few good items - lots of trading cards, a little whistle, a seedling in a glass ball. He has good taste. Of course you can pet any of them you like! : 3 They're very friendly. Watch out for the ones who have been practicing Pin Missile, though. They are a little pointy."

One of them gives Shiva an acorn, then goes sniffing around for another item to Pickup.

"Doesn't matter whether it's just there because you're a GYM LEADER," *cue for a big wave of sparkles washing over Shiva's eyes* ", it's still quite a fine piece of art." If being honest, Shiva can even relate to how such a low-key activity distracts one from duties and responsibilties, maybe that's why she even began to dabble in the art of Crafting.

"Very quiet? Oh, does that mean that....you, eh, don't have that many challengers here in Cress? In Unova I sometimes hear one or another Gym Leader complain about too many challengers who are after their Badge, they had to enforce a limit on how many battles they take a day."

Shiva happily strokes through the striped fur of every Zigzagoon within her range, doesn't seem to mind the pointy ones. (´ ε ` )♡ These ones who get very close to her - like that one that gifts her an acorn - even receive a quick friendly hug (and half of  a cookie). "You caught them here in town, didn't you? If I may ask that, I mean..." Vaporeon is still out and - if she likes - can play with them or join in searching interesting Items just for fun.

"I try to catch one everywhere I go! Two are from Hoenn, the rest are from Creshire, or bred by me. Many of the ones in Cress City are descended from my Zigzagoon or from the Linoone of my predecessors. Some people consider them pests, but I think they're cute. And they never go for humans or even trainer Pokemon unless provoked. They'd only get thrashed anyway."
