[Game thread] Skull Ruins Pokerole

[PhantomUnderYourDesk]

+++ Now as allowed flashing forward to the next in-game Day, which is Sunday 11th June '17. +++



Despite it is early in the morning and the sun hasn't fully risen above the roofs of the skycrapers, Castelia City is already widely awake  - if one were to look outside the window, one would be greeted by all sorts of people heading up and down the streets on their way to work or to some early shopping for groceries. Among the citizens having lived here for years it's an open secret that you better rise early if you aim to grab the freshest veggies on the weekly market!

A certain young female, appearantly unbothered by this white noise reaching her through the open window, was mindfully brushing her hair in an attempt to bring some tidyness into her naturally-messy hair. A pitchblack Umbreon was sitting beside her waiting to be pampered with some brush strokes through her silky fur, it's been way too long since she instead of her father has done that. An unusually-looking Espeon was lazily curled up on the end of the bed while a sweet 'n fluffy Whimsicott was observing the scenery from the windowsill with eager and interest.


When Shiva was heading down the stairs to the kitchen/dining room with the Psychic-Fairy-Dark Trio following her, she was greeted by a prepared breakfast and a fond hug by her father. Despite the Daycare - officially - only opening in an hour, he must have been up and about for at least two hours already! That's the caring dad and househusband within him. But Shiva's mum was still there and she + her ©Pokemon (a nicely groomed Cincinno knowing eggmoves) promptly pulled her into a hug too - those two didn't even THINK about leaving to the Medal Office before having personally greeted their visiting daughter!

Shiva made sure to have a hearty breakfast and was mindful to feed her Pokemon their respective share. From the morning news she picked up the weather forecast for Unova - it'll be clear and quiet, ideal weather for a long flight. Unfortunately though this didn't mean that it'll be the same on the sea nor in Chreshire, so Shiva prepared for everything.


Farewells, good-journeys, stay-safes, good-lucks and stop-by-soon-agains were exchanged soon, and despite Shiva was - if being honest to herself - reluctant to fly back on leafy wings again, she knew she had to. Part of her even wanted to when reminding on the areas yet unexplored and Gym Badges yet unwon.

"It's been such a nice suprise and pleasure t'have you here for short again, honey (⌒▽⌒)☆" Xanthodes told his dear daughter as she was putting on her coat.
Shiva chuckled to herself. "Hehe, my pleasure!~ I... I'll try to come by again soon, and of course I'll let you know when I've won more Gym Badges, discovered more unique Pokemon or- ( ÒωÓ)و☆"
"Or when you've been accepted to enroll at Telperion, right?"
"Yes, of course!! My...report on lovely Primal Eevee here is going well, very well even!~"
"Lovely to hear, honey, lovely indeed!"
*cue for another tender hug* (つ≧▽≦)つ⊂(･ω･*⊂)
"Of course me and mum are gonna miss you if you end up studying abroad in Chreshire... o(TヘTo)"
"Daaaaaaad!"
"But I'm honoured to 'ave such a talented 'n lovely daughter like you! And I... I DARE Ventus not treating you like the treasure you are! ( ☆` ω ´ )"
"Daaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaad!"
"I know I know, haha!~ Here, I prepared a bento not only for your mum today but for you too! You can even share it with your Pokemon!!"


Shiva thankfully accepts this bento! It's one made with lots of fresh veggies, tofu (or anything people in the Pokemon World would eat instead of meat) and lots of Berries, all neatly packed together with well-cooked white rice. It's almost a piece of art.

Like this

(Imagine the fruits actually being various Berries)

There's more! He has also prepared a small first-aid-kit consiting of 2 Potions, 2 Full Heal, 1 Revive and 1 Sitrus Berry. "Just in case you are in trouble, honey... Or if trouble finds you. I trust that you are able to keep yourself and your dear Pokemon safe, but it's best to be prepared for accidents when heading out!"

It's all packed in a small and nice bag for secure containing and easy access, and looks

like this

(Uh... @Iron, is this action of mine legal and legit? I thought it'd be very in-chara for Shiva's Dad... Fell very free to change/or edit things with your GM privileg!)


Shiva herself has something for her parents as well!~ It... It may be not much, but the meaning outweighs the size and prize a lot: Neatly packed into a basket are some fresh fruit directly from her Tropius, 1 Solace Mushroom (functions like a Balm Mushroom) and some sweets + Pokemon Food only available in Chresire. The Tropius Fruit are coming in handy, now Shiva's dad can prepare some pancakes with them for today's dinner!

Like those!

A certain someone been silently watching Shiva and the big green Tropius preparing themselves for leaving from the doostep, the bright red eyes fixated on Shiva's brown ones and the black tail with the single yellow ring wagging in eager.

Though when Primal Espeon wishes Spectral goodbye with an eskimo kiss and Shiva does so with a cuddle, the Umbreon whines at her in sadness; her look one that unmistakable conveys that Shiva will painfully be missed from the moment she closes the door and steps onto the streets of Castelia City.

Shiva... Well, as much as she'd enjoy to take Spectral WITH her, she just can't, and this is what she tells her in the most gentle words and voice she can bring up. "It'd be way too much to bear my dearest, and I would not enjoy to put you into your Pokeball for most of the time.... Your place is HERE, Spectral, here with my parents and all the other Pokemon this Daycare hosts. But... I'll tell you a secret: If I make it to get a dorm at Telperion's student residence in Botanville, I'll do what I can to take you along with me, alright?" ♡(^v^ ) Now THIS is something Spectral would love, this is something she absolutely looks forward to, she will make sure to hold Shiva to that word!

Oh, something Shiva also does before she eventually leaves: Taking out the Tao Amulet, putting on one half of it and putting the other around Spectral's neck. This particular Umbreon is with Shiva for roughly 10 years now, their bond is one that no distance and no issue could shatter, and now Shiva has the unique chance to see what it's like to see the world through those very eyes of this companion for a few seconds.

And soon Shiva is back on her way to Chreshire on the wings of Tropius, bearing any storm and any aggressive wild Flying Types that may see her as an easy target for shenanigans. They didn't account for the Ancient Shield and the protection it grants though!~

Their flight is long, constantly Shiva checks a compass to make sure they haven't lost their way. The sea's somewhat calm... Maybe it's because it's still early in the morning? She's not sure... But something she is sure of, is that now she's got the time to do some sightseeing! She can't help but to be curious what may be hidden in or on the sea between Chresire and Unova, she's still got time for some exploring before landing in Tumbleweed Town for last preparation before heading towards Garlicburg.

This is the post I'm refering to. In particular the line:

The trip with FLY is pleasant enough, but doesn't leave much time for sightseeing until you order Tropius to slow down and coast into Castelia Town in style.
