(...) "Let us go now. To meet with my friends, and...…show them to you."

Saying that, the rugged wanderer made his way back towards where the rest of the group was now lingering, eager to introduce his little one to them all. A great big man, with a fiercely cute little dog on his shoulder and a cuddly chubby baby snake in his arms.....what a sight that will be!
*Flashback End!*
(Since he has Angie out in his arms for now, the rest of the group can react to her as they please, if at all!)

"Hi! My name is Cliff, I'm a Pokemaniac if there ever was one! I love Pokemon Eggs! Breeding them, hatching them, taking care of them...just feeling them! Sketching them, all the different designs! They just feel right! I've researched all the different ways Eggs can hatch: speedily while traveling with other Pokemon, seasonally when secreted away in the wild, or very very very very slowly in the PC system! That's one thing I want to talk to Bill about, are you also heading for Bill? Hey, would any of you like to battle, just one Pokemon? I'll wager $800, how's that sound?"

The Dunsparce Egg was originally in Shiva's care after Valder has left it for them before it ended up going to Terra, she obviously remembers this the moment the mountain of a man joins back to them with a tiny little snakelike being in his arms, radiating joy and happiness all around. She's still a bit taken aback by Heart's teasing comment about needing her super duper psychic powers, but warms up quickly at the sensation that the Egg has finally hatched. Aww!~

She's not too shy to carefully approach Terra, congratulating him dearly for the hatching and curiously mustering the young one and gifting it a soft smile. Her Almanac showed that it's having a pedigree, but so far she can not spot anything really special about it - Maybe it'll show when this Dunsparce is raised? It probably will, or so she guessed. "It's quite a beautiful one, Terra... So adorable, and so small! Is it a he or a she? Will you raise it? Oh, and.... and.... *eagerness washes over her expression* May I stroke it? Very carefully? You'd allow me that, lil' Dunsparce? You don't have to be scared - I've handled many young Pokemon like you at home. Oh, and hello Anubi!" *waving to him* Doing fine?"


The joyful break and welcoming of the new snake soon gets interrupted by someone approaching them, Shiva does turn silent and a bit meek but perks up visibly the moment the word 'Pokemaniac' and 'love for Pokemon Eggs' fall, now mustering him with awoken interest. The offer of a battle causes an itching feeling in her hands, she also caught herself watching him in the eyes. A few seconds later, she raises her hand in an uncommonly energetic way. "I would, I would, yes! Battle, I mean. Please! You... You as someone with an interest in Breeding Pokemon HAS to tell me more about that, what you've hatched, and about your research on Eggs...  I'm Shiva by the way, come on!~" ^o^ *hand gesture of 'Let's go'* Towards the others: "Ah, we'll be back eventually, wait for me please, okay? Shouldn't take too long."

Along the way searching for a good battlefield, Shiva speaks up once more. "Only one Pokemon and 800$ is just fine! Ah, but... So we have to battle until fainting? I, eh, would rather not unless we have to...?"

Shiva's choice who will face Cliff already stands though, the white light coming from the tossed Ball manifests into a gracefuly flying creature: It's a benelovent archangel! "I'm counting on you, Raphael!"
