Terra's support and assurance that all will be well, that he's there with her and even promised that she's kept safe no matter what is very appreciated, she non-verbally thanks him for the aid by gifting him an honest (yet due to her worry weak) smile before she returns to fiddling with the PTC on her wrist. Once Raphael is sent over and Shiva does feel like she has done whatever she can and can now only desperately hope and wait for an answer from Bill, she calms a little more.

Though she doesn't openly dare to glance over to the battliefield where Nathan, Heart, the Stranger and a horde of Electabuzz rage, too big is her fear of what she'd end up witnessing if she risks a look. Call her a coward if you like and while it's true that Shiva is working on her own bravery and selfconfidence, she currently feels much better to stay out of things and not risk anything - this mindset is emphasized upon the flash of a devasting Discharge washes over the field, in startle Shiva ends up leaning into terra's hand on her shoulder. Given that the others are a bit more experienced in battle anyway, she's insecure how she would be a help at all! She's also making sure that Dizzy remains by her side and doesn't run off to aid in the fight.


Some seconds after that, Raphael returns to her for Azu, and upon being summoned he shows Shiva in pride that he fulilled his task by offering her Bill's response.

You won't get this response until after the battle. Bill can trigger a trade request with you from his side of things to return Raphael for Azumarill.

"The Mail seems to be working, because I got this message. It's interesting. You all disappeared, and I immediately had a trade request in my inbox. It would help my research if you could include, in your mail, how long it's been since your last communication. For example, it took me about 180 seconds to send this mail to you. Update when you can and prioritize safety!"

At the moment she doesn't have anything to respond, so no trade request is given from her side and Raphael stays with her, though it's as sure as Cottonee's hidden prankful nature that Shiva will update Bill if something happens.


Now that the battle has ended and Shiva actually CAN risk to look over without massive concern, she boldly does so: Though what she ends up spotting was almost just as scary as having witnessed the fight.

The 2 trees are still on fire. There's one Chupacho Pokeball sitting on the tractor, 2 fainted ally Pokemon, and 5 fainted Electabuzz smoking slightly. The umbrella, strangely, is undamaged. The pipe is bent, the branch is snapped, and the timothy hay is very trampled and damaged.

Terra's charges are all unharmed.

Yet she doesn't dare to come close, but in a flash of white light a waterly Eeveelution is summoned and pointed towards the burning trees. "Vaporeon, dear one, extinguish the fire with some well-placed Water Pulses please. Don't stop until it's safe that it doesn't rekindle." An eager chirp later, Vaporeon darts off to do as requested.

I don't know if Nightshade could restore a bit of the damage the timothy hay took, maybe with Nature Power?

Shiva does gaze around now that things can be patched up, and the first thing she spots are a fainted Gallade (which, if needed/nonelse does, she'll offer to unfaint with one of her two Hurtloams) quickly followed by an battered umbrella who's looking weirdly well for being caught up in this chaotic scene. Humm... If it's safe to so, she'll approach and investigate this umbrella, trying to check whether there's anything 'unnormal' or 'special' about it at first by her eyes, then senses, then touching it - somehow she feels like there must be something curious about this item.
