(Oh! So it takes an Encounter to make the found raw Everstone usable? In that case and if Shiva can do that herself and neither needs to buy any tools or additional things like for example thread if crafting a Destiny Knot, she'll do so right away once she and her Pokemon have dug up the raw stone. Cottonee and Delphox can provide enough light, or she'd just find a properly illuminated spot at the camp after the storytelling by the juggler soldier. The family of Eevee can watch if they like, bored Dizzy is also encouraged to try playing with the Umbreon or young Eevee to have some activity. I actually wanted to craft the first Friend Ball here for an Encounter, but that's fine too!)

(Maybe I should think about some proper Suprises for my female Pokemon.)


While the juggler soldier did, as he said, rest his weary throat and Ninetales recovered a little as well Shiva mostly just watched Umbreon, Dittumbreon and their Eevee playing and caring for each other while stroking Cottonee in her lap and sipping on another hot coffee. If the soldier has accepted her offered one, she has poured herself another.

She soon got lost in her thoughts and ponderings, mostly about the Tale the Eight he has told. She likes it a lot, but something about it feels odd to her: In particular how she has actually never heard of the Dragon Stones to 'wrest' - wouldn't that mean the death of noble Reshiram and Zekrom? The simple thought of this happening scares her, she's unsure whether a legendary Pokemon could really 'die' in that sense at all. These curious magic crystals might be something different...?

It came to her eventually upon realizing that she didn't saw a single Pokeball while wandering around the camp, only sometimes some made of Apricorns. Right - here in this ancient time, the known mass-produced Pokeballs don't even exist yet! She also took care to collect some Meteor Superconductor in order to create some Balls from the collected Apricorns at the cabin in the hall of Atheneum, perhaps this...? Yes, that made a little more sense to her, she can relate that Kyurem grew angry over someone trying to catch it. Rest well, icy dragon... Memories of Ghetsis and the controlled Kyurem appeared in her mind, a time where Unovians were worried and fearful over him freezing the whole region. She shudders.


All of this was pushed aside when the juggler soldier shared the final tale, once again Shiva was hanging on his every word like probably everyonelse who has gathered near him. Blazing light, shooting stars, purple flames - Shiva pulls her most dear fluffball closer to herself in arising fear, as this sounds a lot like a meteorit to her - one that collided with their planet. Though what caused her to frown and eventually almost amusingly smiling to herself were these curious brown stones that were found and came to life eventually - if... if she's correct on her guess, she OWNS one of this weird stony creatures! Met and eventually caught it relatively early on her journey through this region. This special Pokemon she has never seen before, this astral rock she values, this curious Comite. What the juggler describes sounds like it evolving, maybe one day her exemplar will become a 'swollen stone' with enough training as well. She's very unsure whether she'd like to go further than this however.

Once he concluded his story Shiva shyly approached him, while she normally wouldn't do such a bold thing her curiosity now fueled her. She keeps the hood of her Ranger's cloak deeply over her face and Cottonee securely in her arms. "Excuse me, noble soldier and storyteller... I'm just a wanderer, but your stories are an amazing arrangement of words. Allow me to thank you for sharing these to us, and ask what has happened to the flying castle after these swollen brown stones have returned where they came from?"
