++ Before anythingelse, small flashback incoming! ++


Shiva would desire to fly on Genie if to the camping site if both Terra and the desert dragon allow, she'll thank the latter with a playful and short peck on the cheek and then swiftly take off to prevent Genie from pulling Shiva into more than that. :> Haven't forgotten that Hide-and-Seek between 'em!~

Her heart was beating faster as the natural fae enthusiast lets her gaze wander a bit over the campsite. This oh-so-familiar campsite... It's three years ago technically, but for Shiva it feels like it has occured only yesterday: Which it literally has, but before becoming jetlagged again she shakes that feeling off. Instead, she concentrates: It's faint and she might only imagine it, but she could sense that SOMETHING is calling for her here, for HER especially. It's no cry for help or a similar urgent one, it's one that's melodic and that she cannot resist in the slightest. Vaporeon must has picked it up too as the waterly Eeveelution stares into one direction: She stares at a lone tree almost at the end of the campsite, it has grown visibly since 2014.

She starts to run, run towards that particular tree. That call is getting louder, only inches seperate her from touching the bork of that tree...

...If all has gone well, the tan and brown Egg is still in the hole of that tree, and Shiva will let out a small squeal of excitement over finding it. All gently and carefully she strokes over the eggshell, she has waited for this moment eagerly... Vaporeon smiles vividly over the sight of her Egg and puts a paw onto the shell as well, her mermaid tail twitching with nervosity now.

There are several Berry bushes growing there in 2017, so each of you can have 1 Sitrus Berry.

That Sitrus Berry will be given to smol Eevee as a welcome-gift to hold right away, she explains them the value of that yellow fruit. Purrloin meanwhile has her fun running from one Berry Bush to the other after Shiva has encouraged her to do so! "It not that common today to see so many growing at one spot, after all!" ^_^

Original Post

'A few hours later, you reach Teazel Valley! The eponymous teazel plants are everywhere near the town - big spiky plants that are currently flush with purple blooms. The most common Pokemon here is Beautifly - they flit from flower to flower along with other pollinators. A rare Vivillon is considered to be a lucky sight in Teazel Valley, and some people read fortunes in the patterns on their wings (something Shiva discovers from the Guide).

Combee will collect double Honey here.

The Valley is actually several shallow bowls grown together.

One contains all the town's buildings: fresh grocers, outfitters, a cluster of battle arenas, and hostels.

One mini-valley has been allowed to grow a little wild, and that's what you're walking through right now: small forests and lots of campsites. You even see an RV with a familiar bovine Pokemon on top...

The final shallow bowl is the biggest. Two great horns of land cradle a broad expanse of Tall Grass, native grasses, sparse trees, and many bodies of water surrounded by gentle hills. A log gate and gatehouse fills the entire gap in the horns, sealing off what must surely be the Safari Zone.

Shiva investigates these teazel plants with curiosity and interest, she still doesn't think that any of her Pokemon would want to eat those. But are they useful for something, maybe? Regardless whether they are or not, there unfortunately is no time to collect a good amount of 'em now, but she at least makes a photo with her cell of how beautifully they bloom! And picks a handful of the purple blossoms to let them playfully rain down on Eevee, Nightshade and Purrloin.

If she can spot a Vivillion among the plants, what pattern have its wings? Shiva surely enjoys the connection between the climate and this neat butterfly, and the tale of a Pokemon Breeder once having bred an exemplar with a PokeBall-pattern is well known between those who are interested in this field. The Elegant Pattern is her personal favorite. 

Aww, given how warm and sunny it is, Shiva should have brought Primal Glaceon with her probably. Feeling the healthy beams of sunshine on one's fur must be quite the experience for him being an Ice Type currently!~ Oh well, she can still go and fetch him maybe from the local Pokemon Center. There'll probably be one in town? For now, she makes sure to get plentiful of natural Vitamin D and fresh air, Cottonee - still cozily nestled in Shiva's hair - happily follows this example. Nightshade even dares to peek from the between the strands of hair to take a look up into the sky, Purrloin has her eyes EVERYWHERE. So many people around here! :o

Belle and Tramp get a loving hug from Shiva right away upon meeting, and Miltank gets too!~ The Talonflame-keychain Belle made for Shiva is still on her backpack of course. Long the joy didn't last however, as Shiva soon gets dragged away by two twins that are so active and eager to do something, to battle, to play, to show each other one's Pokemon, to do all three things at once, to do practically ANYTHING that she threathens to get dizzy. She must have looked like an ideal playmate to them, and Shiva is actually all up for some good playing!

4. Name: Frappe and Ginseng
Cap: 2
Challenge: Moderate
Bid start: 1
Prize money: Up to $4000 total
Notes: Can be a double battle at your option. 
Notes: Hyperactive twins

It will be a Double Battle indeed, Shiva 'gainst them - preferably no fainting please as this is meant to be a playtime-battle.

Before getting to Safari Zone Stuff, I'd like to have that battle done, then visit a Center if possible, one thing after the other. Sound alright?
