"Humans are not Pokemon - the only ruling race to ever hold that distinction. True, you can connect to Nature, and many humans do. The human capacity for love is no small thing, and many Pokemon are happy to befriend humans. As a collective, however, your influence on this continent has not been kind to Pokemon habitat. The tradition of heading out on a journey is much more fulfilling than the tradition of claiming as much land as possible for one's own devices. Perhaps it is different in your time, and if not, perhaps you can do something for me: help to make it so."

"Minicorn looks something like a Ponyta, though its alignment is Fairy rather than Fire. Some take on Dark allegiances when they evolve, but they can still breed with other Minicorn, with Ponyta and her ilk. The role of each Egg is to one day breed, when the Time is right. It is my hope that each infant Pokemon will learn the abilities it needs to pass down to strong progeny who can repopulate Creshire with their majesty."

A warm smile washes over Shiva's expression, as well as sudden glance of sadness and melancholy - but given the last words of this precious fierly canine, she gets the feeling this Arcanine is putting hope in...her, maybe? She may be wrong that, but that's what her heart it telling her. She enjoys that feeling, feels blessed even.

"I know, Noble Arcanine, I know. Someone wise once said that Mother Nature can live without humans rather well, while we humans can never live without Mother Nature. The same may be true for Pokemon as well in some way. Still, humans can be so reckless, use nature to their own benefit, use Pokemon. Hate and malevolent feelings can be found everywhere. It's saddening... But..." She perks up. "Love is said to be the strongest force in the universe." She cuddles Cottonee after having stated this to emphasize this, the vivid fluffball happily reciprocates the affection - Shiva seems to have a lot of love to give, both to benloved Pokemon and people. It's a display of a sweet bond for a lifetime. A pity Ventus isn't here for a display of romantic affection.

"A journey does not claim land... A journey is to experience the land. In our time, many young people head out for a journey once having received a Starter Pokemon... They all come back changed in some way." She smiles once more at this thought.

She also seems very curious when it's been stated that the intention for these young Pokemon is to grow up, learn under the care of a matching human and one day even be the origin of a majestic and noble progeny. If she'd hear that Minicorn is practically exterminated since long before King Sarimanok's time, she'd be even more interested. "A FAIRY you say, Noble Arcanine...? Fairies, these mischievous and sweet beings of nature that choose carefully who they bond with are my favorite and prefered Type to be... And one day, may it take years to decades even, I'll be the one to overtake my kindhearted father's Daycare." She pauses here for a moment, gathers her courage to speak out what she wishes for: "I'd be...happy and incredibly thankful if you, Noble Arcanine and Caretaker of the Cave of Myth, are fine with letting me take the Egg of Minicorn into my care to try fulfill your given task and hope as your suggested thanks for defeating these predators."

With tension and held breath she awaits Arcanine's answer, she cuddles Cottonee even closer while doing so.



Shiva would and will also put in good words for Spira if needed, @Mikaruge108.
