[Game thread] Skull Ruins Pokerole

"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 Zigzoon 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."

THAT caught Shiva's interest only more. Wild Zigzagoon with a chance to even descend from one of those that belong to Tanuki personally! She instantly wishes to have one of these herself, but is a bit too shy to outright speak that out. Pickup also feels like quite a useful Ability for journeying, Shiva can always use more collectibles, plants, craft material, whatever lays around the path.

Stroking through the fur of one Zigzagoon while holding it in her arms, she looks down onto the brown and cream furball with disbelief in her eyes - how can one even dare to consider such a harmless cutie a pest? As if to reply to her, that Zigzagoon squeals and Shiva sets it back onto the ground. "I so agree that they're cute... But, I guess people just tend to search for something they can blae and complain about." She shrugs that off, to each their own.

"O.....Oh! Tanuki, speaking about cute Pokemon - What are your rules for a Gym Battle, actually? Are you being busy this morning or.... Or can we have a cool battle for a Badge of yours? I'm, like, having much more adorable Pokemon that weren't allowed in Lil' Cup because they're evolved! If I win, will you also tell me how you made it to become such a good Trainer to even become a Gym Leader as well?"

Tanuki's seemingly around Shiva's age, so that actually quite interests her. She'll need to rearrange her party before the challenge can begin though.
