Original Post

Fun fact: Angela was originally named Morgana. Then Windos put that name in his backstory and I changed it to avoid confusion.
Then Angie showed up...

"I enjoy fighting Poison-types because they are a challenge. I mostly train Fairy types, and I'm very good, so I need to fight at some kind of disadvantage if I want my Pokemon to grow."

"Don't worry about it, Shiva!! No need to feel bad. You weren't to know." Angela manages to make it sound like it WAS Shiva's fault, because that's just the kind of person Angela is.

"Like I said, Gloom are common, and that one was beginning to bore me. If you want to, we could hunt down another Poison type together and I'll show you how to beat them even at a disadvantage. I'm sure your supervisors won't mind you VOLUNTEERING to help me, a Safari-goer."

Ah. Well, Angela's words manage to make Shiva feel better, but not enough to unburden her of that nasty feeling that she has snatched that Gloom from her. Now our natural fae enthusiast is at least confident enough to face Angela again, if given a bit of time and distraction she'll probably soon become more safe and forget about these ironic happenings.

The opening that here in front of her she's having ANOTHER fae enthusiast is already a good distraction, and a biiiig smile forms on Shiva's expression. "You mostly train Fairy Types? I.... I do too, yes I do, I really really like these whimsical and magical Pokemon, indeed!" Within a second, Shiva has turned from SUPER-timid to SUPER-avid, she practically can't wait to see Angela's Pokemon and skills in action and shivers with excitement now. "I've got time, I'm free, we can go off right away, yes!~ Please, show me how I can beat even those mean Poison Types when the Pokemon I'm choosing to face it is my much beloved Cottonee. There.... There were a lot of Whirlipede and even a biiig Scolipede I ran into when exploring this area the day before the Cup, it's not that far from here! Oh, and.... Is it okay if my Togekiss can watch as well? I'm.... I'm, eh, sure it'll be a helpful demonstration for both of us!" ^o^

In silent and completely hidden from Angela, Shiva's actually very awed by her boldness to actively search out Poison Types when her favoured Type is Fairy, Shiva hopes/feels that this beautiful woman will subtly help her handling her fear of toxic Pokemon in a more controlled way.

Mechanics:
A Fairy Type Gym Leader, ahhhhhhhhh! *faints in sheer excitement* Another NPC I happen to really like. Gloom will stay with me then, off Shiva and Angela are to find a poisonous wild Pokemon - Shiva and Raphael will pay close attention how Angela handles the situation.

"Poison types are usually reckless and often slow. I like to wait for them to make a mistake, then pounce! Sometimes you can use the terrain to your advantage, since they're weak to Ground. Bug types are weak to Rock - that's another thing you can find in the environment and use to your advantage. Also, you can lock them down with status moves and tiring them out. Let's go find one. You and Togekiss and Cottonee can challenge it, and I'll be there as backup if I'm needed."

*roll*

"I see a Nidorina over there by that beach. Or, I know where a Roselia hangs out. Your call."
