(...) With Shiva, though.....he quietly and calmly told her he wished to speak with her later that night in private. Given the growing tensions and stagnating relationship between her and the scholarly trainer, and that neither she or them apparently had any desire or ability to solve those mounting issues, it was up to him to yet again step way outside his comfort zone and do the almost unthinkable - play mediator. Oh boy, that was going to be fun...... (...)

She listened attentively to his request, then gave him an expression that'd best described as a weird mixture of curiosity and confusion, her gut feelings tell her to be careful. Nevertheless she replied all normally. "At some point after dinner and after we've build up the tent is fine for me, or in a room in Elanor's Center if we get there today still. Unless something occurs that'd reason delaying this...talk and if my Pokemon don't keep my busy, of course. Just come to me then, alright?"

Shiva can't really shake off a bad feeling about this request for a while, it's easy for her to guess that if Terra desires to speak with her in private, the topic must be relevant or somewhat uncomfortable for him. Soon however that gets put behind as it'll do her better to not think about this too much or else she'll just worry herself into oblivion.

(...) Shiva doesn't find any berries, but you do find a really cute spikey purple flower struggling to grow under a piece of litter. You've heard of these Drench Crocuses - they grow a lot taller than most crocuses and they're pretty rare, so removing that litter was a good deed. (...)

Awww, it felt like Mother Nature herself is thanking Shiva instantly by showing her this precious flower, she knees down to watch this pretty 'n cute crocus from up close. Both Vaporeon and Primal Glaceon sniff on it also and Cottonee nudges it with delight, then mimics to Shiva that the flower's rejoiced over the aid.

She'll take a photo of this Drench Crocus with her cell - Shiva doesn't intend to pick it for now. But can she tell whether this flower is useful for something, medicine, Natural Gift or such? Since it's rare it'd probably sell good, but she has enough cash at the moment.

As Shiva is picking up litter from the copse of trees, she hears an oddly-echoing chittering noise. Looking up, she sees a Pachirisu with its head stuck in a tin can!

Oh, she has just packed away the bag with the collected litter and turned to go, as she SNAPS around in an instant as if someone called for her help, the Eeveelution perk up as well. "So you heard that too...? It didn't came from far at all." A few moments later she spots it, a smol electric rodent up in one tree could use some aid, and none's nearby at the moment but her. She's startled, angry, downcasted and a bit frightened about poor Pachirisu's state and doesn't hesitate a moment.

"Lili' one up there, please don't struggle too much or you may fall off or get stuck even more! Give me a moment, we'll get you down..." *turning to Cottonee* "Dear one, can you float up there and carry this Pachirisu down to us please?" (If Cottonee fails, Lilith is there as a second option with a Telekinesis.)

The first thing Shiva does once she has Pachi in her arms is trying to calm it by all gently stroking its white fur and speaking soft words to it, she doesn't mind an electric shock or two; is used to it via Plusle and Minun. "All's well, Pachirisu, all's well. Now, let me... I'll count to three and at '3' I'll try to pull the can off your head in one go, alright? Tell me if t hurts too badly. Vaporeon, lend me a helping hand if needed, will you? Okay, 1...2...3!!"
