[Game thread] Skull Ruins Pokerole

(Thanks to the Sitrus Berry and Aqua Ring [not Veil] Vaporeon's also back at full HP, cool.)


With a content gaze and expression Shiva watched as her waterly Eeveelution successfully ended Ziggy's acrobatics and antics up on the tubes with a smashing tail-blow, only to one moment later having to avert her gaze when it sought revenge by slashing her repeatedly. A heartfelt chomp into the given Berry though Vaporeon was all fine again, and swiftly punished the racoon by soaking its fur.

However, Shiva didn't paid that much attention to it as she should, she seemed a little absent-minded when watching the two battlers. The reason for this was what her sensitive senses picked up from Tanuki's side.... Super Luck. SUPER LUCK ABILITY - on a ZIGZAGOON!! Out of respect she didn't pried or showed in any means that she heard what has been whispered, but it's obvious that she's incredibly IMPRESSED. Such a useful and semi-rare Ability on such a common Pokemon - HOW?! She'd give so much to know... But... Remembering what she bought yesterday at Violet Tent, a hopeful and sly smile formed on her expression. She's 50%ly more looking forward to trying that out now. ^o^



The moment the crowd began to cheer however brought her back to the current planet, and after flinching a little she realized WHY they cheered - Tanuki picking up a defeated pointy furball while Vaporeon let out a confident huffing noise before turning tail and walk back to her Master were enough to understand.

It felt incredibly surreal to Shiva. So weird, it was almost hard to believe that she has made it against the excellent Trainer and Leader dear Tanuki was... But when Vaporeon gave her a smile of 'Master! We made it!! I MADE IT!!! You proud of me?~', everything became real within a second, the next second Vaporeon found herself being picked up and hugged tenderly and thankfully, how Aqua Ring may moisten her clothes she didn't care now. "Of course I'm proud of you! My, what would I be without you... Thank you. Just thanks you..." Vaporeon purred a little on the fond strokes over her headfins and let her head rest on her shoulder. <3

When accepting the Gym Badge among the other things (Leftovers are immediately given to Vaporeon who curiously investigated the bag) and turning it a little in her hands, Shiva felt....lighter all of a sudden. More light-footed, to be specific. She was almost sure that a small gust of wind ran through her hair for a second that came from that badge... "I guess I can feel that aura you mean, Tanuki", she told her with a smile, "It feels great. ^^" She'll probably notice the effects soon, but she's sure that her fledging Trainer skills will benefit from it decently. (She's now sporting 4 Dexterity. Yay!)

Accepting the drink, the fae enthusiast slumbs into the nearest seat, she's definitely up to spend a few more minutes here with Tanuki and here within her Gym if allowed to take a short breather. Oh, and to stroke more Zigzagoon until she manages to obtain her own of course! "That was a fine battle, Tanuki...." she tells her with an appreciating smile, "So balanced, one moment I was at advantage, the next yu turned things around again! I much enjoyed it. C: I, eh, hope you did too... And..."  She comes a little closer. "Do you tell me now how you became so strong to even become a Gym Leader of that calibre? Were roughly the same age, after all... But you're so much more skillful!"

Just a bit of interacting before we pick up Dizzy and start on our Second Encounter. You people are also busy with disciplinary actions for Duskull/questioning Gallade, I'm in no hurry to meet up.
