[Game thread] Skull Ruins Pokerole

[Mikaruge108]

Spoiler

5XP for Cottonee, 5XP x2 for Primal Glaceon thanks to his held Lucky Egg.
50/50 on the prize money sounds indeed good, means 1400$ for each!~



Shiva decides to look up the data about Cocaran in her Almanac later - maybe it'll even state how this adorable coconut-crabmon evolves? She keeps a close eye on how it behaves in battle however, becomes certain that it must have traits of a Grass Type due to it being able to drain vitality as well. But not as well as her dear Cottonee, she makes a confident and pleased huffing noise upon both the huge hippo and smol crab are unable to continue fighting properly before making a u-turn back into Shiva's arms for well-earned praise and cuddles. Aww! <3 Ah, and to collect her beloved Miracle Seed again.

"Whoo! that was fun!" He gives Shiva a high-5 and shakes the hands of both swimmers.

She does reciprocate the high-5 with eager, and one moment later Spira finds himself enveloped in a hug of hers. ...It doesn't last for long though as she rather swiftly lets go of him as well because this was awkward: Not bad, but nevertheless embarassing! >//< "Eh... I'm sorry! But that was indeed fun, yes! Thanks for agreeing to that battle.~ What will you do now...? I'll stay here for a bit longer, then go back to eating things from the menu... Sure you can stay and we can stick together for a bit more, but you, well, of course don't have too!" She seems super-coy when saying all that, but generally delighted and in a good mood. Cottonee can't seem to stop chuckling mischievously and playfully©.

Regardless what the answer will be/was, Shiva does stay within this sandy battle room for a bit longer for one enjoyable game of volleyball with Pelipper, Cottonee and Raphael; with her 2 points in Atheltics Speciality she'll probably do rather well (contrary to me who sucks badly as it) while Cottonee tosses the ball around via a well-placed Fairy Wind, Raphael never misses to catch a ball thanks to accelerating with Extreme Speed. Sometimes, he would even glow a bit in preparation for Sky Attack! If Dizzy's so bored in the current time, he's very welcome to join as well if he likes.

This got tirering rather soon though despite it a fun change of pace and enjoyable break after all these happenings across time and space, so eventually Shiva bid a friendly farewell to the tow swimmers and made her way to the dining area of the diner. She quickly finds a free table and outright slumps on the chair, after having ordered she summons Primal Glaceon once more: The fluffy huskylike Glaceon didn't look very well, how he was wheezing and barely able to keep standing caused a sharp pain within Shiva's sensitive heart... After a bit of rummaging in her belongings one bottle of MooMoo Milk from the Miltank on Route 13 is offered to him with soft pets on the head and the words "Here, please drink that. It's full of nutrients and rather healthy, you'll feel much better afterwards! Ah, and please don't worry - next time, you'll gonna WIN a battle! ( ÒωÓ)و☆" Primal Glaceon comes back to 8/9HP. Shiva has no idea whether Healing Machines are a thing in 1960 already, least of all where the next Pokemon Center was - most likely in Cress City? (Does Primal Glaceon as the wolf/huskylike creature enjoy the milk at all, @Iron? I don't know whether real dogs do...)

That wasn't all however, as once the waitress arrives with Shiva's order, he receives another treat: A super-tasty Apricorn Luau Drink just for him! That was what Shiva was so desiring of since an Eevee can also evolve once it was happy enough. Since she's also having a loyal and reliable sunbringer, she might... The 400$ are paid with the cash she earned in the battle against the Swimmers so there's no need to hide a mint date. Shiva herself mostly watches how Primal Glaceon digs into his food while enjoying a Gold Berry Shake herself. Oh, and more string fries of course!

Spira's a little shocked to be suddenly hugged by Shiva, he'll decline on playing volleyball (he has 0 in athletics) He uses a Super Potion on Noire and a Potion on Nubi (bringing them to 7/8 and 8/8 respectively.) "So how did you both like that battle, and what do you think of this Diner?" Spira asks Noire and Nubi. Noire is mainly eyeing Spira's pocket, the one he put the doll he found in. Nubi is trying to think of ways to prank the other patrons of the diner. *Flashforward* Spira then notices Heart/@Spiritmon and the new flame markings he's sporting, Spira goes over to him and says, "Hey there, like your new look." (I'll also spend 6 of Spira's xp to improve his Crafts specialty to 2, if possible)
