To keep things straight to the point, Shiva does place the HM into Nathan's open arms as he suggested that having the other's Pokemon learn it as soon as possible would be best. "That's alright, but I unfortunately don't have the time to meet up with everyone today, busy. Busy in this beautiful town, must.... explore it! >o< If you want to have this done, you gotta reach out for the others in person yourself, I won't. I'm sorry for that, but... you're also faster. PLEASE return this machine to me tomorrow morning, okay?" A hint of sad puppy eyes glances over her as she expresses that. "There is one or two other of my dear companions who I'd like to know this capable technique, but no time to run to Bill's PC now."

"I will send a text message to everyone so that they know beforehand. That's all then, in case we don't happen to see one another today, have a fine rest later on, okay? Take care." Then she waves to her Pokemon currently out, and leaves quickly in the way I described already.

Once having hit the 'Send'-button, she is swift to pack cell away and follow her own business again, determined to not think about how she would have enjoyed to get a bit of deserved(?) spotlight by presenting the HM to the others in person. Maybe this would have mend her disappointment over not having received a single word of thanks for having asked Keni's dad after Lucky Eggs, and by now she has lost hope that there'll be some.

Mechanics:
I hope that settles things now and for all and is fine for all parties?

Yes, that does settle things for the time being.

"I'll return it ASAP.  No need for the puppy dog eyes.  Having separate people carry the HMs is a good idea, after all."

(I'm sure everyone is thankful for the Lucky Eggs, even if nobody's saying it.  Sometimes words aren't necessary.)

Remember that time is fluid in this campaign. If Phantom wanted some spotlight on this, it's 100% fine with me to have a flash"forward" to some indeterminate time, without worrying about when exactly she's available. It doesn't take an Encounter to use an HM, so it can happen at any time at all during the 16 hour day. Not everything has to be pinned down. Maybe this will help you in the future.

(I guess this will indeed help. What I don't really want to do unless there's a really good reason, is flashing forward to another in-game-day, that feels a bit too forward.)

(Yeah, Iron doesn't usually allow Flash Forwarding to the next day.)
