[Game thread] Skull Ruins Pokerole

Yeah, Azumarill gets in your lap and Raphael in your arms, as the Dr. sticks leeches all over you guys. They all close their eyes as the fangs go in. They're not sure that felt all that wonderful, and even Shiva herself isn't sure if the science here is legit, but it at least works as a placebo for Will point gain!

(Hooray for them being convinced! Lolz, I'd probably react just as nervous. Need/will try to do even more fun things with Raphael, as after all we've done together so far he's still not more happy or loyal to Shiva since Ven has given him to her.)


Shiva does tighten the hug to a good amount once she realizes Raphael's and Azu's discomfort, whispers calming words, hums a song Ven once expressed his sentiments to her to them, all in all shows that she's there and with them. While doing so, she realizes that she now carries tiny bite injuries all over. "You've done great, my two... Feeling better now? Not really? Oh well.... But, this was quite a unique experience for sure. Maybe a bit of casual shopping will distract you, shall we dare to see what we end up finding in all the shelves?"

Assuming they agree, Shiva and her faries now get to actually take a closer look at all the goods the good Doc and ancestor of the just as good Professor offer. She quite dislikes the Torchik Fang herself for what it does but admires the fang itself, the Psyduck Milk makes her wonder how he got it. Though what really caught her attention was a hat made of weird shiny material that she doesn't recognize, but for a reason the fae enthusiast can't express in words, she likes that hat. If allowed, she even tries it on and turns to Dr. M, a fascinated smile on her face. "E-excuse me... This hat, where did you get it from, and how much would it cost me to take it home with me? I've never seen such a thing..."

*probably gets the price of 500$ for the Mirror Hat and its effects explained*

This increases her desire to obtain it, though if it's a bit like his personal hat, she's aware that she'd have to come up with a good trade deal as she only has that 50$ coin of 1925-cash. One zero too little. She ponders, mulls over what she could offer in return - before she ends up rummaging in her bagpack with the hat still on. "Now, where did I pack it, I'm sure it's in there...... Ah! Here it is. I, well, I've been gifted that once by my partner in the hope that I can put it into good use - receiving something nice for it certainly counts. This is the shed skin of his Arbok. If your Snax are made from Ekans skin, I assume you could make some out of its evolution's skin as well? I've also got this, found it deep within the mountains - it's the infamous Black Sludge, very healthy for Poison Types. Maybe your Croagunk would enjoy it?"

100$ for the skin + 400$ for the sludge earns me enough to buy the Mirror Hat technically, yay! Shiva keeps it on for the time being just because she thinks it looks good on her.


What Shiva also happily does is trade Berries. In fact, she draws a full basket of sweet and tasty Nanab Berries from her belongings.

"My Tropius grows them on a regular basis. I don't know how rare they are here in the lands, but they're useful and fresh!" She ends up trading 5 Nanab Berries in total, leaving her with 6 now. Gets 2 Rawst Berries, 2 Cheri Berries and 1 Pirsif Berry for them. She with a liking for Fairy Type, Grass Type and nature in general can barely ever have enough ways to cure poisoning on hand.
