[Game thread] Skull Ruins Pokerole

[PhantomUnderYourDesk]

Dinner involves specially bred Maractus fruit, a new experiment on the part of your father.

Your mother, being nearly as insightful as yourself, comes inside with a big smile on her face. She noticed Tropius footprints and managed to put two-and-two together.

Aww I like that, Shiva's mum being nearly as insightful as she herself is! ☆~(>v< )


When she eventually arrives home from work, she promptly and immediately is sweeped into a close cuddle-hug by Shiva, before she even had a single chance to take off the jacket of her office suit and before Xanthodes had a single chance to greet his wife with a 'welcome back home'-kiss on the cheek. Shiva was just faster, she just couldn't wait to (figuratively) embrace her mum in a hug that's SO heartwarming like a cozy and bright campfire set up on on a dark snowy evening. <3 "Ahhhhhh finally you're back too!~" Shiva squealed while still having her arms wrapped around her, before she'd give mum a somewhat...worried look. "You still got so much to do at the Medal Office that they make you work overtime...? Isn't that...tiring you out too much, are you getting along?" Seems to Shiva that her mum hasn't really changed, being that tough and appreciated career woman.

Those Maracatus Fruit turn out to work very well with the rice and spicy curry sauce, they manage to underline the mildy fruity character of the sauce very nicely. Now Shiva realizes rather strongly how much actually she has missed her dad's fine culinary skills!

During dinner and the following tea Shiva's encouraged to share and tell about the most eventful occurances during her so-far journey through Chreshire, some hand-picked and extra-special Pokemon she encountered, the Pokemon companions of hers that she bonded with most (in partcular how she managed to raise a tiny, sad and unhappy Azurill into a strong and confidant Azumarill), her most exciting battles and how she managed to achieve victory, and so on and so on. She's a bit timid to tell about the battles she found the most gruesome and/or dangerous ones like those against capable Poison Types or 'Mon with strong lethal moves, but when she does she faintly relives how rewarding and relieving it was to make it anyway. "Oh, OH! That reminds me!~ I, eh... *faint nervosity strikes* ...Did news from Chreshire actually made it here to Unova, how the region was attacked by a DEOXYS (!!!) that arrived with the Millenium Comet and was running riot under the view that it was 'just' conducting experiements? Experiments that... That are just borderline CRUEL, so many innocent Pokemon and people had to and still suffer." o(TヘTo)

Back to happier things then, Shiva's daring enough to carefully open up that during the traveling she has found a loyal and dear romantic partner within Ventus, the very young man and Pokemon Sociologist that she once briefly introduced in person while video-calling her dad. *cue massive and sentimental 'our little girl has grown up'-feelings* Of course they are happy, curious and wish to meet this young man in person once, just to make extra-sure that he's the right one for their only daughter.

Of course Shiva herself is also curious whether anything eventful has happened that affects the topic of Pokemon Breeding, the Daycare, or home in general.

After having helped cleaning up, Shiva then lounges and lurks withn the comfy living room, playing and stroking and cuddling and whatever with Spectral. It's SO obvious to Shiva that her soft and gentle Umbreon has missed her (and that Shiva missed her likewise) that it's almost suffocating, never before the two have been seperated for so long, and no amount of snacks or affection could Spectral make forgot who actually raised and evolved her. Right now Spectral's purrs and meows (or whatever sounds an Umbreon would make) are a melody of heaven for Shiva. Whimsicott also has her fun playing with the dark feline, showing off her Dark Pulse, planning mischief together, stuff like that. The Type Advantage of the fluffball over the Umbreon means literally nothing.

"Soooooo...." Shiva eventually tell Spectra with a very fae-like smile on her face, "....Told you I have someone SPECIAL - bar Whimsi - that I kinda wish for you to meet and for them to meet you likewise, did I?~ They're special not only that they mean quite a lot to me, but also because there are literally no alive exemplars of this Pokemon anymore. I was... Hehe, just thinking that it'd be interesting to see how you two would get along, and I wished to stop by at home with something in particular in store for you....~"

With Spectral indicating curiosity and excitement, Shiva eventually draws one particular Pokeball and summons its content. This special one for the Umbreon to meet - It's Primal Espeon! Shiva's letting them get to know each other at their own pace, paying close attention to how they react to each other. Desping being of a Type Duo that's quite opposite from each other, the unique bond between an Umbreon and an Espeon is quite well-known among Eevee-/Eeveelution Enthusiasts, so the curisosity how a pampered Umbreon and a tamed primal-verson of Espeon get along is quite high. Plus, it gives Shiva more stuff to write about in her ongoing report about Primal Eevee.
