++ At the same time at the campsite, Shiva's PointOfView. ++


After so many action, a hard outnumbered battle and such stressfull and fast-paced happenings - for Shiva, it felt like several things were happening at once - she definitely needs a small breather to regain her normal emotional state again, the ice and snow that has  fallen onto her attitude hasn't fully thawed yet. The heartfelt moment and farewell of Dizzy as well as having to faint soft-allies have taken a toll on her; how they've ended up being victorious nevertheless has helped, Arcanine helped, things will be okay quickly again if Shiva gets the chance to reenergize a bit before moving on will be it.

With Nathan and Heart gone now, she lets Terra and Spira know that she'll wander a little at the lone campsite in order to see what she'll find, for damage-control and to calm down from the ambush, she wishes to be alone and only with her Pokemon for a bit to achieve the latter. There's an audible tiredness and sadness within her voice despite she tried to hide that. She'll come back once she's finished and doing better for traveling on.

A last stoic look at all the Scimitars and a pained at the fainted Pokemon, Shiva waves to Arcanine and Primal Glaceon to follow her, together they're leaving the scene to wander the silent campsite. If the feeling of tragedy and aftermath of fighting wouldn't loom in the air, it'd be peace-and beautiful, but now it's more melancholic. Shiva figuratively bathes in this, her inner voice stays silent. Raphael gets summoned from his Ball, the archangel belonging to her love coos happily and darts into the sky for a flight. Delphox comes out to provide some pleasant warmth alongside Arcanine. Lilith is summoned to simply accompany Shiva, so is Cottonee. Nightshade pops out of her Ball and brightens the sky by her Sunny Day before taking her favorite spot on Shiva's shoulder. The sunbeams tickle Primal Glaceon's fur. Vaporeon completes the small group, she lets out a yawn.

She enjoys the company, smiles at every single one of her own Pokemon. Unspoken words are exchanged. All together, they'll take the opportunity of alone time to search for a particular spot here at or near the campsite - a hollow in tree's trunk, an abandoned den of a Pokemon, an empty birdhouse, a lone nest in a bush; any free space big enough for a Pokemon Egg that feels safe enough and provids shelter from rain will be fine. Doing so will grant Shiva her 5th point in Nature Speciality for 24xp, maxing it out. From now on, she'll find small bonuses alongside Berries whenever it fits. (link to the post where this is mentioned as a mechanic) She has who has grown up and always lived in the busy city now feels closer to nature than ever, that's another reason why going to Chreshire has turned out as a great decision indeed.

Having found a matching place for the Eevee Egg, Shiva prepares this place to make it a comfy home: She'll cushion it with some fluff off Cottonee, weave in some hair of Delphox and Arcanine, add some shed fur from Vaporeon and Primal Glaceon, complete it with some soft feathers from Raphael and even add a worn Tshirt of her to have the young Pokemon in the Egg enjoy a familiar scent. A handful of dried berries is added too. Only then she'll softly bed the Egg here, cuddling and kissing it lovingly before doing so. Vaporeon gets to curl up around her Egg dearly once more as well, she's watching attentively what Master is doing here. Cliff's cleffatastic Repel now has its showact, the whole vile is carefully dripped onto the Egg. As a final act, Shiva covers this place to further hide the precious Egg for additional safety. A motherly and loving last smile and Shiva + her Pokemon leave this spot; she can't wait toget back here in 2017!!~

The small group wanders on as Shiva's rummaging in her belongings, she must have put them somewhere....! Ah, found!~ ^o^ She presents the three Apricorn Seedlings she has traded for in Cress City's Violet Tent. The nursery man mentioned an open place without trees and bushes would be best for them to grow well, so Shiva will look for such a place nearby, her Grass Types as well as Raphael help with that. It's said that the fruit will be ready to harvest after one year since planting.

These two things are the only things she'd like to do in 2014, once completed successfully she'll long for returning to their time more than ever; melancholy returns and washes over her again. All her Pokemon are quick to raise their sweet Master's mood again and chase that figurative rain cloud above her head away - Nightshade's empowered sunbeams literally pierce right through it.

The affection is thankfully returned to each of the Pokemon currently out, they continue their walk around the area as Shiva let her mind and thoughts wander aimlessly and freely. They stop there, end up here and rest then, all while the energies/the Earthpower within her Pokemon and her own slowly start to align. Their breathing seems to synchronize. She can't feel it consciously but unconsciously: It's like her concentration gathers at a point within her, as if the bond to her Pokemon reaches a new level as their both powers harmonize perfectly. She feels secure that this will have a positive effect if she battles with her Pokemon. For another 24xp, Shiva's Channel Speciality reaches 5 points as well. Her Accuracy Rolls of main attacks are complete, I may level up Brawl once more at some point, but Fight will stay as it is.
