[Game thread] Skull Ruins Pokerole

The more Shiva and me hear about the Barracks and stuff in and around Tumbleweed Town, the more it reminds on Area 51... With Garlicburg as the base. And the more she looks forward to see them aliens venture to this island tomorrow - she desperately hopes that she's not too late already.

"Shiva, I don't have a family. But maybe when I retire I will think about starting one." He smiles. "Few of my challengers are as qualified as you lot."

Oh... This makes her downcasted at first, but a dear and coy smile quickly comes up to her face again once Achilles continues. "Is that so? How lovely!~" (^o^)

Qualified for being the next Gym Leader... Shiva finds it a bit hard to believe that SHE is qualified in Achilles' view too, SHE who was down and sad about being not as good in the art of battling with Pokemon like the others were/are. But maybe having overcome these complexes of her for the most part is fighting enough, is it that what qualifies her in particular? She... She's not quite sure, but feels that this aspect plays a big role in this qualification. Thinking about this makes her feel all warm and proud of herself. Aww!~♡

"But.... Achilles, Sir...", she gazes directly into his eyes, "It... It wasn't just one of us who defeated this invader in space, it's been...all of us, together. N-none of us could have done that by themselves. Therefore, do tell, wouldn't it be possible to passively inherit a part of the duties of Tumbleweed's Gym Leader to all of us? I mean, all of us who'd wish to and agrees." She glances over to Nathan and Terra and thinks of Heart. "For example, it'd be too much for me to study at Telperion and lead my dad's Daycare AND leading this Gym all simultaneously, but what I could surely try to do is keep up that tradition you mentioned: 'Teach fighting skills to anyone who comes seeking to improve their sparring'. 'F-fighting' skills as in skill in 'Pokemon Fighting' that is, not that one where you fight people as a sport.... The art of battling with Pokemon is such a diverse one, there are so many styles of how to battle, and there are surely some individuals like me who have an inner potential and wish to train and hone this one instead of learning how to win with brute force and physical strength. How.... How does that sound to you?"
