[Game thread] Skull Ruins Pokerole

[PhantomUnderYourDesk]

(Concerning the Training of my three Pokemon in return for finish-up tutoring Electroweb, I asked for Tanuki to train Extreme Speed or Thunder Shock with Nathan, maybe something like having her rush around gather as many things as possible with her unique Ability while Vaporeon tries to keep up [and learn Quick Attack at this point for 13xp] while Cottonee tries to cast non-damaging Fairy Winds over the scene as a training for learning  future-Tail Wind would work?)


-------------------------------------

Concerning Nathan's further elaboration on the Elite 4 and Raphael's+Cottonee's reaction:


Shiva sighs impercibly once more upon hearing that there isn't much more to get to know about them at the moment, that one is not allowed at all to share anything about the battle against them to outsiders, then shrugs and accepts this as another curiosity in Chreshire. Like, at home in Unova it's not required to swear for secrecy but 'only' asked to not share it in public for the sake of fairness, Shauntal's books are even available at every bigger bookstore and are the reason for her specialization in Ghost Types to be an open secret. Shiva owns a copy of everything she spectral woman has published.

She chuckles a bit to herself over Terra's eager and wording of 'it won't be easy fighting them', being amused positively by his strong will and anticipitation of this challenge, same with Heart's interest in facing Hayes and his Latias. That's the spirit she would expect from both, indeed, and to be very honest.... She wishes she could take in such an confident manner as well instead of finding herself wondering how far she'll get and whether she'll be allowed to face the Elite 4 as well at some precious time. Taking on the equivalent of the Victory Road here already is giving her a few shivers!

Cottonee's massive confidence and will to face these draconic Pokemon in contrary to Raphael's more careful reaction quickly distracts her from these worries though as she brings the fluffball a little closer to her in a warm hug, telling her that "Nah, you're that eager to evolve? You'll get your chance to do so, I'll personally make sure that you'll have! Let us.... continue giving our best and grow and become stronger as best as we can, and work towards you being able to slay these dragons, shall we?"

Guess 'Becoming good enough to be allowed to face Merle and Gin' can now be added to Shiva's list of things she wants to do/work on during the journey through Chreshire. Hooray for triggered chara-development, maybe now she'll try training her Pokemon especially to do well in fights from time to time?

She's giving a hand gesture of 'It's fine' and 'It's no big deal' to Nathan being embarrased over not being able to tell them more about what Pokemon the Elite 4 uses. "Well, if it's not allowed to speak about it after having battled them, that's totally alright, please don't feel bad for not knowing more! You already know more than we did about them before you told us. So, thank you for the info....!" Terra has a chance to quick-leave the room before Shiva continues: "I, ehm, saw sparks of electricity from Bo's side of the field on the broadcast - Jo didn't manage to leave a lasting impact on this Pokemon. Out of curiosity, what is this Pokemon if you said you know?"

Shiva also finds herself wondering what kind of Pokemon Gin has and uses later when she's preparing for the night, and how the heck she got THAT strong to become a member of the Elite 4. Probably she has trained for battle since an early age like Tanuki, but the fae enthusiast feels that this can't be everything. She finds herself almost LONGING to find out - as she slowly falls asleep with Cottonee close to her, her thoughts are full of fancy and edgy Pokemon she'd find fitting for a scene girl; like Lopbunny, Liligant, Arcanine and Flareon for 'fancy' and Banette, Froslass, Mawile and Bewear for 'edgy'.


-------------------------------------

Concerning Heart's ask to tutor Worry Seed to Victor:


Giving the PUNisher a quick glance of suprise to bringing up this request, Shiva eventually gives him an agreeing impression. "I haven't forgotten about that, Heart. We can do that at some point, definitely if you wish to have this move on your ghostly tree, Nightshade even knows how to cast a seed that creates insomnia. But let us wrap up the battle we agreed before getting to tutoring, shall we?"

"Oh....", she smiles a little and coyly upon remembering something, "If you're having any leftovers of that fruit salad/salad fruit with cream, I'd be happy to take them please to share it with my Pokemon for dinner!~" ^^



-------------------------------------


Once everything has been answered and shared plus Terra has returned, Shiva carefull raises her voice once more:


"*cough* So, ehm... I'd guess that'll be all, thank you again for agreeing to head in direction Elanor next. Is there anything more that feels important to be shared and discussed at the moment, or can we call it a day for now?"

She's asking that in a friendly and encouraging manner with a soft voice, but it's also visible for an attentive eye that she's emphasizing 'important to be shared' a little as she's beginning to feel exhausted from the meeting and would like to get enough and restful sleep before heading to Ancestor Cave tomorrow.
