...HAH! Shiva's timidness about challenging a wild and capable Poison Type on her own here in the Safari Zone was melting away upon Nidorina sharply screeching from getting sand in her eyes and beginning to back off even more. It was an unpleasant cry, but to Shiva it was almost like the sweetest angelic melody~ As if Raphael wanted to voice his agreement, he let out a soft and mellifluous chirrup as he accelerated higher into the sky. "Very well done Raphael, that was a great action! See how we taught that Nido to not rely on her natural advantage of poison running through her veins and scales? Just a bit more, let us succeed on this!" Her body language has become much more secure and confident now as Raphael prepares for a final Air Slash. :>

As Nido flees and Raphael softly lands on the ground, Shiva runs up to him to almost sweep him off his little feet in a hug, her expression features a radiating smile now. "We made it, dear one, we indeed made it! Oh thank you for your faith in me, thank you for listening to my commands, just... I'm just so happy that you're staying and traveling on with me, Raphael!!" Raphael acts a bit shy and hesitant but eventually returnes the affection by warmly enwrapping Shiva with his wings, he enjoys it as she pulls him a bit closer to rest her head against his featherly coat. These two have endured a lot together already, had to cope with the leaving of Ventus as Raphael's father in all but blood and Shiva's oddball of a love, but they still had each other. As long as they do, as long as they support each other, there's no room for loneliness - there's nothing Raphael wouldn't do for Shiva now. It's a great feeling.

That dear moment soon ends and gets distracted by Angela clapping and asking whether they're up to join in watching the Safari Cup. Shiva has to think twice about that, but quickly confesses that she would enjoy to accompany Angela for a bit longer. "Y....Yes, gladly I come with you! ^o^ Maybe I can learn something worthy during watching the Cup instead of participating myself." She's also a tad bit curious what kinds of Pokemon she'll see the participants using and how they'll handle freshly-caught ones.

Mechanics:
That was a good and fun battle, glad that it worked out well. Accompanying Angela to watch the Cup will hopefully not spent my remaining Last Encounter Slot, will it Iron? I'd guess it'd be like visiting the museum in Cress City; costing time but not an encounter. I wanted to craft things out of the found Spring-Sawsbuck Antlers as a last encounter, that's something Shiva can do once being back in her hostel dorm after the Cup has ended.
