[Game thread] Skull Ruins Pokerole

[PhantomUnderYourDesk]

Leaving the whole dumped trash at the side of the road behind her, Shiva made her way into what proclaimed itself as 'Mamoswine Diner' alongside Dizzy (if he is up for a snack as well, in the first place) as well as with Cottonee still warmly within her arms. They weren't especially tired, quite the contrary actually, but given how early at the day it was a fine breakfast while the others are minding their own business felt just right now - that, and maybe it'd be better if she would NOT meet someone who's just adding more trash to the already existing piles as if the'd hit the right wrong nerve, she might just come down at them like a ton of bricks.

Unfortunately inside there wasn't less chrome than outside, despite she expected that it still gave her a slightly uncomfortable feeling - Cottonee suprisingly didn't seem to mind too much and was more interested in any shenanigans with her refelction in these shiny surfaces to keep herself amused. Not once she touched them though, neither did Shiva unless it being necessary. Much to their They all found a free table for one in a corner where they had a good view over the whole place and the entrance, from the inside this diner was much larger than she'd have expected from outside.


Shiva spent the waiting time until her order arrived mostly with people-watching, interacting a bit with her newest Primal Companion (inlcuding handing a particular egg full of luck and happiness to him once emphasized that this was not something to eat) and simply having the recent happenings pass again in her mind. It was incredible how much she has gotten to see in the past few hours and in what unbelievable circumstances she found herself in, all thanks to Celebi and these lurchs she connects to the grassy Mythic... She couldn't help but to wonder whatelse there was in store with eager anticipitation while a part of her wished for nothing more than to come back to their time. So many things have changed... And despite the particular blessing dear Jirachi has brougth her wasn't as apparent like in the other's case and practically only noticable for her, she was very happy with it.

The breakfast menu Shiva has ordered consisted of a bit of everything the diner served including any local specialities or recommendations as well as a nice bowl of fruit and berry salad and a portion of fresly-fried egg and bacon - despite she's at a table for one, she'll definitely not going to eat alone: She has her dear and loyal Pokemon by her side. As long as even one loved Pokemon is with one, one will never become lonely even if being at a mountain top or the center of a forest; that's something Shiva has learned rather fast while journeying.

The meaty treats are kindly handed to Primal Glaceon as she'd guess despite being an icy Eeveelution now his diet hasn't really changed. He still looked like a decent and successful predator despite his beauty! It was a weird feeling to feed an Eeveelution with meat, but she's intending to not drastically alter his eating habits. "Enjoy your food, dear one...", she'd tell him with a smile, "and I hope you'll soon get used to being out of your natural environment now. But, you're with me now, so please have no worries... We'll get to see many neat things and locations together that there won't be much time to miss the ice and snow that ever-surrounded you! If I may tell you a secret though... *moves a little closer to him* ...sometimes, even I am becoming a bit home-sick despite I'm traveling for a bit more than two months now. I think that's normal and okay.... If something ails you, come to me, alright? I and your other Pokemon companions are there for you... Try to see this breakfast with me in this diner as a new start, as the beginning of your life with a Trainer and caretaker. Alright?" If Primal Glaceon allows, Shiva softly pets his head before letting him dig into his meal.

The ordered fruit and berry salad was mostly for her current Grass Types on hand, which were Cottonee and Nightshade. They both enjoyed their gifted meal with joy and delight, Shiva noticed that Cottonee was trying to explain or show something to the vivid cherry blossom during dining. Nightshade was very curious and interested to listen, as after a few bites of berries she bloomed into her pretty Sunshine Form Shiva understood: Her fluffball was sharing her newest insight after receiving Jirachi's gift: That even the plain and unremarkable berries were filled with earthpower if one only pays particular attention. It may be hard to detect if not having a high affinity to it like she, but it was there!

Mechanics:
We'll make this a disguised Training Session for Primal Glaceon, Nightshade and Cottonee in the form of a shared breakfast menu, with the former holding the precious Lucky Egg now. Cottonee will gain her 80th XP point, I wonder whether I'll make it to have her hit 100xp before she's becoming a Whimsicott.

How's Dizzy actually doing in this time, does he react in any way worth mentioning to the current circumstances?
