Nurse Joy: "Ah, yes, nasty psychic types in Ancestor Cave sometimes. Solosis, Duosion, sometimes even Reuniclus."

All in all, your damage seems a lot less pervasive than the damage inflicted by Seikamater. You might reason that Mew was not fully "real" or incarnate, or it would probably have been a lot worse. Mew is known to possess virtually every possible attack, for example, and can fly at incredible speeds. (on the other hand, Mew is a fairly friendly Pokemon...)

'Nasty Psychic Types'... Shiva lets her head hang when Nurse Joy stated that, looking rather defeated, meek and to some degree even... ashamed; she doesn't respond anything verbally. Thinking back to that Mew they all managed to escape - luckily - another wave of shudder ran down her spine and she intuitively wrapped her arms around herself to tackle the exprienced chill. She's feeling ALL but okay about the fact that they've all enraged the Unown enough to call for Mew's aid, despite she's somewhat sure that it wasn't the real one but 'only' a revived form from the mural. That Mew acted so... so UNLIKE everything she knows about this species, so.... arrghhh, she's even missing proper words to describe it.


She can comphrehend WHY it has acted the way it has though. They were nothing but intruders, troublemakers, disturbing the stream of Unown and the ancient peace within Ancestor Cave - this hit the fae enthusiast especially hard, as this was anything she wanted NOT to be when visiting a place that's the home of wild Pokemon.

She's staying a little with Terra and Gallade, returning the friendly wave the latter gave her with a weak smile of her own. Actually, long enough to write up a Note for the resident mountain of a man/@Lord Windos, because she feels some words of gratitude are appropriate. Accompanying it is a single red Battle Nasturtium (the flowers Terra found during Berry-foraging and has given her, remember?) and a package of nuts and seeds from her own food supplies.

It reads the following.

Dear Terra,

uh... well, if you're reading this you're probably already up and about again, or have recovered enough already in order to being able to pick up and read things. That's great to hear for sure, after that attack from the revived Mew hit you so... hard.

That act of yours is also what I wanted to, you know, thank you for. Heaven knows what would have happened if it'd hit any of our Pokemon. I'm not lying when admitting that what you've done, how you stepped forward to take the attack when Mew readied itself, has impressed me. Lots. So... Thank you for protecting us all in that case, thank you for your strong will to risk yourself in order to enable us others to escape, just... just thank you. If what you've done isn't an act of heroism, I don't know what is.

Bravery, valor... All these are things I struggle with, but maybe if you're sticking with us I'll be able to learn a little more about these traits and manage to step out of my comfort zone a little more easily.

Rest a little for now, please make sure that you're alright again. Yes, I'd still love to meet Genie and her meeting my fairies, but that's... that's not urgent, priority is your recovery. From what you've told me about your lifestyle, I bet it won't take too long, haha... Let me know when you'll go out to forage Berries as that's something I still wish to accompany you in.

Until then, stay safe and get well soon.


- Greetings, Shiva A. (only Ventus gets 'Love' at an ending of notes and letters)

With that done, she makes her way up to her dorm again, but stops at Bill's PC: To her own amazement none of her Pokemon suffered any damage during the trip to Ancestor Cave... Maybe the revived Pokemon from the murals were able to 'sense' who the bigger threats were and concentrated her attacks on these?

One way or the other, Azumarill (not before performing some coin tricks on her Master though), Delphox; Tanuki and Lilith are stored in a Box for now, in return for these Vaporeon and Cottonee come to her again. Two slots remain free - she hasn't registered Umbreon and Eevee to a Ball yet!

It seems like Umbreon and Eevee and Ditto are simply happy to be away from that disaster. Doesn't seem like they've ever met up with a Legendary in their homecave! They're definitely not used to Shiva or civilization yet, so they do things like steal curtains and bedclothes to make a comforting bed on the floor.

Spotting what the small family of foxes has done with the curtains and bedclothes in the meantime, she can't help but to laugh rather dearly. "Now though...", she tells them in a friendly tone, "One does not rip off the curtains from a window. In fact, let me register you all to these two Safari Balls at first so that we can travel together - how does that idea sound you? No worries, I'll keep you all together. Together as a small family."

Shiva herself is smiling lightly all the time to them, seems to enjoy their company a lot already. She's even helping them making their bed on the floor more comfortable by providing some fluff and Cottonee herself, Raphael is watching everything - it's some needed peacefulness for the archangel and Shiva herself after that trip to the cave.

Some Gourmet Food is also offered to Umbreon, Dittumbreon and the young Eevee, two packages in total. "As your caretaker now, it's my duty to make sure you're all well and fed - enjoy your food, will you? It may be a little different from what you're used to eat, but please give this a try. Now that you're with you, you won't have to hunt for your food anymore - though IF you'd be interested in a trip to hunt, Umbreon, let me know, alright?"

She's giving them a little space and privacy then, knowing that they may not eat while she's watching. Do they accept the offered food though? Does Eevee, as the one with the highest Loyalty to her, allow Shva to stroke him a little? And what does he say/how does he react to the offer of a brother or a sister?

At some point, Shiva also registers the Shiny Unown U to a Pokeball from her ( = her OT and ID) and the G Terra has given to her to the remaining Ball she has requested from Nathan.

And upon reaching the Center (and briefly checking that Terra and Gallade are doing okay), he also asks Heart for the Unown U he caught, and heads to Shiva's room to ask her about the three Unown letters that she caught. He has a good feeling that he'll find her there. (If you want to RP that a little, Phantom, we can start with Nathan knocking on the door.)

(Yes, I do, in a flashforward as I'd like to spend a little time with the Eevee Family before that happens.)


Some knocking on the door catches Shiva off guard, she was just trying to get the young Eevee to play a little with her. Staring at the door wondering whether she should open or just ignore it, her senses tell her that it can only be one person, right... Eventually she sighs a little, lets Eevee grab the feather used as a toy, gets up and opens the door - it was indeed Nathan, her intution was correct.

"Well, hello. Come in if you like.... You're probably here for the Unown I caught and Terra has given me, right? Find yourself a seat. Before I hand the Unown to you, would it be okay for you if I, eh... join when you'll be handing them to Professor Laurelin? I'd like to ask her something myself and show her that...Shiny U I caught. Please? When do you plan to visit her?" her voice was calm the whole time, maybe a little lower due to exhaustion, but friendly for sure.
