[Game thread] Skull Ruins Pokerole

[PhantomUnderYourDesk]

Cottonee's eyes go wide as saucers! Her fairy nature is very visible when this happens.

You can invent a flower for this to be, if you like! Or should we make it an ancient version of the Devil's Tongue fern?

Awwww. Shiva can't help but to hug and kiss Cottonee through the Pokeball~

Hummmmm, and yes, upon investigating this flower fossil a bit more, Shiva's certain that she has seen a flower in such a shape already. Not for real of course, but she is quick to draw her starry-covered notebook to page a bit through it until she has found a particular piece of her notes: Indeed, the drawing she has once copied from a book assures that this must be a flower of the Amaura Magnolia! It's believed to be one of the first plants to develop blooms and is theorized to have gone extinct around the same time like the Pokemon it is named after, as they both failed to adapt properly to the milder climate.

"No problem. Here the TM." Heart give the TM on her hands while he get the money. "Thank you. I just going to do a few things. I will gonna ask the Tutor thing in the near future my friend!"

Ayyyeee!~ Shiva thankfully accepts and pockets it, she's certain a special blue cat with two tails will enjoy learning a new skill. Being called 'friend' by the PUNisher also flatters her, she smiles a bit at him. "Thanks a lot! I'll put this disk into good use. And yes, you can come to me for tutoring whenever you like, just let me know." ..... "Well then, I gotta go. I've got stuff to do and people to meet with, it was nice talking to you, Heart! Take care and stay safe then, alright?" She (and Primal Glaceon) wave him goodbye then for now.


A time-check lets her know that she's still got a bit before she needs to meet up in Cress City, but she shouldn't waste the time she still has. So she decides to bring Helios into her party in return for Gloom already and go for a casual walk around Elanor with him and Primal Glaceon by her side, simply to enjoy the town and the yellow flowers growing everywhere. Her newly hatched faries of course can join her and catch some fresh air, Shiva's busy showing them around a bit, talking to them, simply appreaciating each other's presence. She hopes that she doesn't get too many curious or weird looks from people due to the super-rare Pokemon with her, eeek.

She wasn't exactly searching for it, but soon she ends up at another Move Tutor offering their services here in town, she quickly comes closer. It's Howl's Apprentice. "Uhm, hi! Someone within the Center has told me about you, that you're able to help out Pokemon learning some special moves! I'm Shiva, a journeying Trainer and Breeder-in-making. Say, you've got a minute? I'd be happy if you could led my Pokemon a helping hand. The full program please! Here's your money." She hands him 3250$ without thinking twice.

"My precious Alakazam could make good use of Foul Play. Ah, come on, Helios, it's a useful move, don't be sceptical just because it's actually Dark Type! It needs a good amount of psychic power to use the foe's strength against themselves."


Next Shiva introduces her currently icy Eeveelution. "This is a very special Glaceon as the Eevee it evolved from is nowhere to find in the wild anymore. Could you possibly teach him how to freeze his shaggy fur into a tough shell to handle even a Fire Type's attack?"



Then, Shiva carefully steps closer to whisper to him. "Finally I've got another special and very rare Pokemon, it was hard to bring her into my care. Ophelia, come on, don't be shy, I'm there with you." All gently Shiva encourages Minicorn to not hide behind her legs and show herself. She's still somewhat timid though. "She's still a foal, so please treat her properly. But I feel she's got potential! Can you teach her how to pay close attention to an opponent in order to impose some of their traits to gain an advantage over them?"



Once that's handled and her Pokemon eagerly try out their newest moves, Shiva's got some more words to share with this guy. "May I, ehm... Ask you something else, also? ...Yes? Thank you!" *cough* "So, ehm, you're an official Move Tutor approved by the League, right? How does one become that, is there a test or such? Because, you see, alongside my journey I started to dabble a bit in the field of Movetutoring myself, I think I'm doing quite well and I enjoy it. Can you possibly give me some advice how to become 'recognized' and accepted as a Move Tutor?"

"Oh, and... Who is Howl? What kind of person are they?" Shiva's a bit puzzled over that, but also curious. If he's their trainee, he should know!~
