"My name's Angela. If you call me Angie, I'll sic my Mawile on you." She shakes your hand, showing that she was just joking...maybe.

"I don't participate in the Cup unless I'm sure I can win first prize. This week, Anaster is participating, so I don't have a chance. I'm just here training; I like to fight Poison types. That's why I make my home in the swamp, actually."

Hehehehe, 'Angie'. Hah, and I was right on my outta-chara guess that that Gloom Shiva acquired has something to do with Angela!


"Angela's a fine enough name to not abbreviate it, haha!~" Shiva returns the handshake, but she does so a bit loosely - she doesn't have a firm grip. She has never heard of a person called 'Anaster' but she can easily guess that this person must be pretty strong, strong enough that Shiva chooses to rather not cross their path. She's feeling lucky that she won't as she's not even participating in the competitive part of the Cup.

As Angela mentiones to.....ENJOY fighting Poison Types, Shiva just stares at her for a few seconds in wonder, Delphox has to nudge her to awake her from that sudden stupor. Despite everything, her interest is caught now. "You.... you do? How that, if I may ask? Poison Types can be so nasty, I would n-never dare to approach one without one of my loyal Psychic Types...?" Shiva doesn't have to ask whether by 'in the swamp' she means the swamp behind Arrowroot Village, but even as she developes the thought that this woman could be the GYM LEADER of that place she doesn't change expression.

When you show her the spot:

"Oh, it's fine if you captured my Gloom. I'll just find another. That one is just used to battling me over and over, you see, but it's probably for the best if I don't get into a rut. Plenty of Gloom in the Safari Zone. It's even possible to find Bellossom here, you know. They're rare, but they do exist! Trace amounts of Sunstone mineral in the soil can trigger evolution, sometimes."

As Shiva can tell, the Gloom doesn't actually belong to Angela. She just felt a sense of ownership with it because they've been battling each other all week. You're not sure if Gloom would want to meet her now or not.

Oh.... Eh.... Damn, as Angela combines the words 'Gloom' and 'my' in one sentence, Shiva grows, like, SUPER-timid, she's blushing and pawns the ground with her feet and looks down to watch a very interested path of grass nearby to strictly avoid Angela's gaze and everything: It's a bit as if she has just received an unexpect decleration of love from a secret suitor, and on Shiva it happens to look incredibly adorable when she acts like that.

That, and she also starts to feel sorry, developes a bad feeling. "I... I had no idea about that, I'm so sorry! How was I supposed to have?! Please excuse me! But... I didn't do anything to that Gloom, I didn't take it with force, It really decided to come with me on free will after we've talked a bit! But, ah..." She lights up a bit, dares to make eye-contact with Angela for a split second. "...Just because that Gloom's having my OT and ID it doesn't mean that it has to stay with me - H-how about we let Gloom himself decide who of us two it wants to stick with? I'm having him on Bill's PC and I'm free at the moment, if you're too we can make haste to the gateway right away before all the partcipants of the Cup rush there."

I feel that's totally something my chara would do - Whatever Gloom will decide on, Shiva will respect it.
