[Game thread] Skull Ruins Pokerole

[PhantomUnderYourDesk]

Azumarill pulls out a 1925 $50 coin. You're not quite sure where she got that.

"Oh, great idea. Flyers for everyone!" He tosses out a sheaf of flyers about his show.

"Nope, this isn't my hat. Mine is more of a dark purple. I did have a show in Celebi Park yesterday, you must have just missed me!"

"Yes, I use real Pokemon, including my fleet of Croagunk, and this." He reaches under his shelf and pulls out a big jar full of semitransparent goo. Inside, a bunch of Tynamo swim all around. His Eelektrik comes down and curls around the jar. "I like to perform live leechings! You can visibly see the toxins leaving the body and being pulled into Tynamo, where they are converted into electricity! When Tynamo absorbs enough, it evolves into Eelektrik! Isn't that amazing? It can cure almost any problem! It's a miracle cure, invented by yours truly, Dr. Izerius Mallorn!"

Shiva investigates the coin her fae rabbit has pulled out with a very quizzical expression as soon as she realized how it looks odd, before a sweet smile washes it away and she draggs Azu in another fond and warm hug. Doesn't matter HOW Azu did that, Shiva loves this! "Oh Azu... What would I be without you?" Azu tightens the hug to show that she returns this sentiment of her dear Master who helped her overcome this numbing sadness and fulfilled her wish to evolve... It's heartwarming to see the pair sharing so much affection.


She's very eager to snatch a flyer the good Doc tosses out, with Azu lending her a Helping Hand it was as easy as crafting a good plushie for her. She presses the paper against herself, all smiling happily to herself, this simple flyer must be some kind of new treasure for her. Aww!~ "Thank you! I'll try to make it to a future show of yours. Especially since I, well... must have indeed missed you yesterday, haha. ^^;" She packs the tophat carefully away then.

Naturally Shiva is very jumpy about these Croagunk, desires to have a secure distance between herself and them. Though she feels that they won't do anything neither to her nor to Azu, and this glass full of smol Tynamo quickly averts Shiva's intention as she STARES at it in a way that would almost count as impolite and overcurious. Once, an infamous sparkle even flares up within her eyes behind the glasses - she has found something that caught her interest!!! In her voice, a lot of vigor can be heard. "L-live leechings, you say?! With these Tynamo and your neat Eelektrik? Oh, I'd loooove to experience that please! Me and my fairies at best even! Just give me a minute, I must, eh... Ask two of them at first whether they'd be up to. I'll be back right away, you can stay here and wait, Azu!"

To make it short, she darts off into her safe spot she already contacted Bill a few minutes ago, this time she asks him to bring Raphael back to her in return for Kyuu. The psychic cat would carry a mail saying "I found something that Raphael may enjoy, I'm sorry if I'm pestering you with many trades. I hope the Time Capsule can take it... Ah, 121 seconds this time."

Azu in the meantime thought it'd be funny to mimic Dr. MALLORN(!), she concentrated and summoned a bunch of illusionary pidgeons to fly over the scene with the same movement that he tossed out Oran Berries and flyers. 'I can do what you can do as well!', her gaze seems to say. She chirps fondly as Shiva returns eventually, now a little out of breath and with Cottonee and Raphael by her side.


"Haaahhh... I'm sorry that you had to wait. But.... haaahhhh... Everything's fine, we're ready and up for it then. It'll be, let's say, Tynamo for my Cottonee, Azumarill and Togekiss while Eelektrik treats me, would that be okay? I sadly am completely broke, but I can sell you one of my Paralyze Heals for it (costs 200$, earns me 100$ of 1925-cash, Eelektrik Treatment costs 75$) You can keep the rest as a tip. Now, away with any nasty toxins still lingering within me and my dear fairies!~"

This treatment first, then we'll get to trade stuff. To not arise unwanted attention, Shiva does not react visibly to it being done by an ancestor of good old Professor Mallorn - though whenever she speaks with him again, she might bring this up!
