[Game thread] Skull Ruins Pokerole

[PhantomUnderYourDesk]

Let's seeeeeee...... From those neat 60 chara-XP I'll be spending 24 on a 4th point in Fight Skill - Shiva totally deserves this, her style of battling is still more of a tai-chi-like style than the standard battling on the average Pokemon Trainer - as well as 32 on 5th point in Knowledge Skill, which is long overdue on her. Her Skills feel finalized now!~

About the Pokemon-XP, I'll take a closer look on those later.


--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

(...) Healing items are brought forth, but even before those reach you, Martha Warren and Professor Mallorn reach you. Each is holding an MSC crystal. Martha heads straight to her family, while Mallorn approaches the group as a whole.

"Well, boss, my town is gone, along with most of my business! But I have other offices, and all my Pokemon are OK, so can't complain too much! Oh, and my competitors are under investigation by the Creshire Intelligence Service! Ohohoho! I have a lot to say to you all. Oh, and I was hired to provide an armed escort for a very special package from HQ. It'll be filled with goodies and wealth from the League, once they work out exactly how much they owe you. The consensus is clear, though - you saved at LEAST Creshire, if not the world! And these are strange times. Deoxys has been defeated before, but always fled and its race returned on subsequent comets. This will have a big effect on the ecology of Creshire in geologic time." (...)

Whimsicott and Pangoro are thankful over the brought Healing Supplies - I'll just assume they'll bring them back to full HP for simplicity's sake unless GM says something different - though they won't accept them form anyonelse than Shiva herself, so she takes a hold of them and then hands them to her beloved fluffball and trusted panda. The latter's a little reluctant about admitting that he needs them, but Shiva makes it to tickle out his soft side and appreciate being patched up without any fear that this may harm his pride.

Shiva, letting out a startled screech upon Prof. Mallorn approaching them, immediately leaps forward to him to grab him by the hands, no holding back in this moment. "Professooooooorrrr!!! I... I, eh, I'm sososososoooo glad to see you being fine and okay!! ( ╥ω╥ ) Is really everything okay with you? You're not feeling weird or bad from being trapped within that MSC Crystal for a while? PleasepleasePLEASE take good care of you, we don't know whether there'll be any late side-effects from this, eeeeehhhhhh!!"

She catches herself a bit, finally letting go of him and looking a little sorry. "Well, it's good to hear that your Pokemon are fine, but I'm...sorry for what happened to your lab. If... if we can help you in any way rebuilding it, please let us know, I at least would gladly help! ( >o<) Oh, and 'under investigation by the Creshire Intelligence Service'.... That's nice to hear!" Shiva conceals it skillfully, but she can't help but to feel a bit bad for Almanac - of course saying this to the Professor would be mean and tactless, but she's at least hoping that BEFORE the cooporation is brought down(?), she'll make it to snatch one or two of their products... They're still not illegal to own and use, after all. Unless that'll be changed now, which she doesn't hope for.

Eh, she decides to change the topic. "Hehehehehe... 'Big effect on the ecology of Chreshire'.... But, Deoxs's.....dead now.... Don't you think that this will have negative concequences as well? It called itself 'hands that feed' and stuff, maybe..... Arrrrgghhh, maybe I'm just overthinking!! D-different question: What's with the Pokemon Center, do you know whether it's still standing, professor? How are things in Elanor, are you updated on the situation there? I'd like to...get there and help if I can when I can, maybe...?"

(...)"What will you do with the Artifacts now? Yeah, Dagny filled me in."(...)

"Oh has she?~" Shiva can't help but to chuckle about this, sounds totally like something Dagny would do. "That's...that's nice of her, yes!" She involuntarily tightens her grip on the Shield then and becomes a little meek overall. "I, well, I think I'd like to keep this Shield for now if that's alright.... If I may! I really like it, and it's super-useful, and I felt so vulnerable when Deoxys wrenched it away from me...." She shivers over thinking back to that, hasn't really gotten over that.

"It'll be illegal in official battles though, for certain it'll be as it will grant me an unfair advantage - but it'll be handy to have to explore the parts of the region I haven't yet; you see, professor? But, ehm, won't it be too flashy and prominent if we'll wander around with these Artifacts in tow, will we be know through the media as those who s...saved the region? People will likely recognize us, eeeekkkkk! Do I look good enough to appear on tomorrow's newspaper's cover??" (⁄ ⁄>⁄o⁄<⁄ ⁄) Shiva starts to look around frantically, as if she fears to be photographed any moment.

(...) And for Shiva, someone else is here to see her - Golda arrives to interrogate the captured Scimitars and hand out freshly baked cookies. (...)

Before there'll be any Abols-related moments, Shiva wants to have hers, and so she straightly and fondly rushes over to FLING her arms around Golda and pull her into warm hug; and she starts to sob and become teary-eyed again. ""Golda, GOLDAAAA, I'm so happy to see you!! It's been so long, c-can you remember how I arrived at your and Wir's Daycare? A-and how I was too scared to watch the Running and prefered to stay with you two indoors? I do, and look at me now, I really helped saving the region, the Mistlord called me a hero!!! I can hardly believe that still.... How's the Daycare doing, is it still standing, did nothing happen to it or you, do you need my help in anything?"

Shiva gladly takes some cookies too! "S...so tasty, awwwwww, thank youuu!" ｡･ﾟﾟ*(>д<)*ﾟﾟ･｡*nonomnom*
