"Bo...? Who was Bo again, professor?" ...... "*gasp* Wait, don't tell, he's the Champion of Chreshire, is he? I saw Jo who was Golda and Wir's student, battle him on TV a while ago! He gave an impression of deserving this title to me, eeeekkk." >o<; A bit timidly she then asks herself how far she'll get when she managed to collect enough badges to officially challenge the Elite 4. Hopefully she won't make a complete fool out of herself.

"Yes, I... I already wanted to bring Yena with me down this place! He's such a good dog despite.... despite..." Suddenly Shiva gets super-excited! "Professor, I haven't told you yet, but he evolved! He evolved into a big and scary Mightyena thanks to me, you told me to let you know when he has done so, and he obeys me! It's interesting how such a sinister-looking Pokemon can be so kind if it likes their owner. His wings have also grown a looot bigger, that genetic anomaly is perhapds more prominent than it was in Poochyena. I like him a lot! Maybe.... Ehm, maybe while we have a hold onto this HM, I can offer you a strand of his hair to research on? Maybe, just maybe, we could one day determine the part of genes that makes up his differentiated phenotype." (Shiva's got one with her.)

Few more notes one some of the things that Nathan heard in that conversation with Mallorn:

- Nathan can't help but mentally facepalm when Shiva momentarily forgets who Bo is.  She at least remembered, though, so...yay, I guess?

- ...and one of Shiva's statements is once again something incredibly bittersweet for Nathan to hear.  He refrains from commenting at length on it again, but...yeah.  It's still a sore point.

- Nathan doesn't have much more to say to Mallorn, really.  He does have one thing to say to Shiva, and it's that he'd like to use the FLASH HM later that day.  And also that they should probably let everyone else use it later today, too.  The sooner they teach the move to the group's pokemon, the better in Nathan's opinion.
