++ Now, flashbacks to quick-wrap some things on a different front up ++
Original Post 1 and Original Post 2
For the sake of pace, I'll simply make this as notes.



- For the biggest part, due to having meandered directly into that diner to avoid that dumped trash and nasty Poison Types there Shiva has completely missed everything Nathan has told about Jungore, that curious Fossil Pokemon associated with wealth and gold. This isn't a necessarily bad thing though, given that she's mostly - excuse me to say it so blatantly - indifferent for history related things, her personal interest in ancient Pokemon revived from fossils is rather low as well. It'd need lots of effort and/or must be a very special Pokemon from longly bygone eras in order to make her honestly interested in it at best. Though thanks to Gallade arriving and fetching her from inside the diner to the outside, Shiva WILL catch a glimpse on Nathan's newest companion - frankly, it's rather hard to oversee this curious creature, she's certain that the others have reacted, praised and asked about this 'Mon enough and sufficiently already, there's no desire from her to add anything or chip in. What she does however, is kindly asking for this Pokemon's species name in order to later look up what her Almanac would tell her about this species.

- She's worried when it comes to Terra eventually sharing everthing concerning his...'meeting' with Deoxys. Very worried, so much that she's clinging to Cottonee's soft and charged-with-power fluff, impercibly shivers and looks around every now and then as if fearing that the Extraterrestial Pokemon would jump at her from the next corner, but the sensitive fae enthusiast is doing a fine job to completely conceal that from the others. With attention and a mild frown she listens, at least her fear that the arriving of the Supervirus didn't mark doomsday for the planet and world was a great relief, if her head would be more clear during these events she'd have noticed that this fear is unreasoned as SOMETHING must has dealt with this creature as otherwise she wouldn't even be here. What 'SOMETHING' was, she could only theorize. That secondary though, first was rejoice that the planet's saved from an invasion!~

- Easily she picks up the discomfort and unnerved state of Terra, which increases her worry until it developed in pure FEAR. If he as the stoic and tough mountain of a man gets so...distraught, it MUST be something serious or indescribable or at least worrisome. Rather calmly however, she reacts to this by carefully and slowly cuddling up to Terra's side, faintly even hugging his arm - both to soothe her own fear as well as to try calming down him or at least to show that things are okay. From the way she almsot clings to him here, maybe Terra even gets that she is simply relieved like nothing that he has made it to survive this and was still with them.

- Once being asked whether they understand, Shiva rather timidly nods, a bit of encouraging to voice her thoughts she speaks up in a soft tone: "I, well.... Yes, I saw these lights as well... They are, were, scary, weird, special, not from this world. Something very particular surrounds them, something that has the potential to change one. To, ehm, change one for good or bad, but f.... from they way I saw them they gave me the impression of being related to making a person more. More than what's normal, more that is believed to be possible, more that oneself would have thought is doable, more than a human is capable of." 

- She'll directly gaze into the monk's eyes for the next few words, a serious glance on her. "Terra... No, I don't think what Deoxys has... ehm, 'done' to you is something bad. It not necessarily is, despite I was so... so shocked to see you of all costs being hypnotized. Maybe try to see it as a gift, a blessing - a unique one even. Please, take good care of yourself now, and ping us in case you notice something about yourself that you'd directly connect to this happening, will you? It's okay. At least you're...back with us others again. *slights smile* Because, without you, who shall protect us all so well as you do?" She gives him another small hug, then quickly lets go - partly because this was awkward, partly because she caught up something weird and new within or about him that reminds her on cold steel and machinery which she doesn't like too much due to her affinity with fairies.

- Everything Nathan tells about what Gallade sensed about Terra isn't super-new or very suprising to her as while being so close by his side she managed to briefly pick up the same things. It's something interesting and weird, not bad or worrisome in any means, at least to her.

- Hasn't seen anything about Heart displaying his firebending new skills. I'm sorry, that would have to wait for another day.

*Yet another flashback, this time in bullet point form!*

- Nathan has no reason to believe Shiva has a pokedex that actually has data on Jungore.  At all.  So he just gives her a brief, basic rundown on the species (and then some) anyways when she asks what its called.  "Jungore.  Species went extinct because it has gold embedded in its body from what I've learned of it, and people are greedy.  Rock/Fighting type, and that is apparently a recent change for this Jungore since he seems to be one of the first Fighting type variants of his species thanks to Jirachi.  Wouldn't have had the opportunity to catch this extinct species if it weren't for Spira's Dusknoir.  Seems Jirachi's gift makes it more likely to encounter pokemon with similar traits if the connections the threads were making was any indication."  Jungore still looks confused.  And Shiva can probably also tell that he's not quite used to being called 'Jungore', despite knowing that Nathan's referring to him whenever that name is said.  Jungore's definitely not used to being around humans yet, for obvious reasons.  But again, he doesn't seem to mind it terribly.  

- Nathan's not entirely confident that what Deoxys's gift might eventually do isn't going to be harmful in some way.  He voiced as much already, but Shiva would definitely be picking up on the skepticism the most easily.

- Nathan's also not really super fond of the idea of Terra being the group's bodyguard, which would become apparent to Shiva as soon as she voiced that.  He's relieved Terra's still with them as well, but...not for that reason. Why Nathan's not fond of the idea isn't immediately obvious, though...
