[Game thread] Skull Ruins Pokerole

[PhantomUnderYourDesk]

If you're 9XP short of a move, you can just pay the price as if it's a 9xp move.

Ah, that's cool. The desired move is of a different Type, so the Master Tutor for Ice unfortunately can't help in this case.


Shiva thankfully accepts an oxygen tank from Zamboni. Oof, it's kinda heavy! "T-thanks for the advice, Zamboni; yes, I'll rather fly up there..." She fondly pats and hugs Tropius. "We'll do that together, I'm counting on you and the power of that HM move I've let you learn!~" ^0^

She also mindfully gets the desired goods written on the shopping list Farore gave her, checking twice whether she has everything before mounting her grassy sauropode and flying up to the cozy cabin again. "Here are your groceries and everything, Farore! Now, let's please get to tutoring, I'm curious to see how you're doing it, pleasepleaseplease let me watch!" (Insert Shiva paying close attention and becoming max in Move Tutoring herself)

Before she's leaving again, Shiva bows to Farore in respect and thanks as well as hugs her Vaporeon and Delibird. "M-may I propose a question to you before I get going? Maybe you could help me on that... You see, I'm looking for someone to tutor a Support Move of Psychic Type to my Meowstic, do you by chance know who I could turn to?"

When your consciousness is couched within Primal Espeon, you can share his lie detecting ability! All the fine hairs on the back of your neck stand up, and they bend this way and that to judge the truth of everything you hear.
Oh, in this form you also notice something else: Espeon's mental voice, that he uses to talk to himself? It speaks Common. A very simplified version, but recognizably Common words.

Shiva is totally thrilled to bits as her consciousness has returned to her body and can't help but to stare at her special Espeon with big sparkly eyes. Rather hesitant and carefully, she removes the Pokemon's part of the Tao Amulet from his neck and gently strokes his cheek. "You abilities never cease to amaze and stun me, my dear, I would have never imagined that you... Possess the skill to talk a very simplified Common to yourself..." Shiva gets +2 admiration on her Primal Espeon.

She carefully adds what she has just learnt to her constantly-worked-on-report on Primal Eevee and as she does so, she hopes that the mental voice carries on when Primal Espeon will eventually become Primal Jolteon. But since the lie-detecting skill will do so, she considered that the chances are quite good - she'll try it out at that time then.

Now towards the next thing Shiva does!~

She brings that cute pink Hoppip she has gotten from Angela into her party, and with it she sprints off towards a spot in nature where there's plenty of space and plently of plantlife. Presumably somewhere at Route 1, near Greenbriar River? Alternatively, Celebi Park. Most important thing is that Shiva and her Pokemon won't disturb anyone and likewise are unlikely to be disturbed by fans, Trainers or agressive wild Pokemon; and that they're surrounded by bountiful greens.

Taking a seat on the ground and getting herself comfortable, she releases Hoppip and Whimsicott from their respective Pokeballs. The former is gently pulled into an affectionate hug. "Hello, dear one! I'm sososo glad that you're under my care now, my very own Hoppip and from beautiful Angela on top of that! Hehehe... ~♡ Whimsi, how about you two getting to know each other a little, play a bit, and get her used to being my Pokemon now? ^_^ You as my closest and dearest Pokemon are ideal for that, and we're free here... Look at all the nice plants and trees around us, and aww that fresh air... Let's have a break and enjoy ourselves, we've deserved it after all we've done yesterday." With these words, Shiva lets herself fall backwards to lay on her back right here on the grass.

She will spend a little time here to read through all the fan letters she has gotten while Whimsicott and Hoppip get to play a little. Not in such a way that it takes an Encounter Slot, but this is some sort of 'breaking-the-ice' before getting to Shiva's first Encounter of the current Day. Therefor, how are Hoppip and Whimsi getting along, good? Are there any fan letters from people she has made friends with throught traveling through Chreshire, by chance? Like Xiani, or Darius - that cute student with the Happiny who studies at Stair's extension to become a nurse.
