To make thing short and not loose much words, Yes of course Shiva will accept the pledge from noble Primal Kingdra! She herself is very respectful towards this huge and royal dragon-seahorse, but not afraid. The oath to stop the Scimitars in return to another precious HM and a unique move that awoken the secret power of the water... This has a bit of a bitter taste for the young fae-enthusiast given how fascinated and interested she's been at the Scim's skills and powers at first, but by now she has started to feel ...somewhat guilty about this.

However, it also strengtens her determination to take this oath and pledge, and so she gives a deep bow towards the primal Master and Guardian of the sea and the HM. Vaporeon and Azu follow. "Noble Primal Kingdra and guardian of the HM, you do have my word and promise then that I shall do what I can to stop those going by the name 'Scimitar' from threatening your domain full of life and wonders. This is what is assured to thee by me, the one who has bonded with the Ancient Shield to protect what needs to be protected."

Witnessing this pledge will be playful Vaporeon, cute Azu and - suprise! - benevolent Raphael. All three of them are eager and excited in their own way; with the blurr of a waterly Eeveelution circling Shiva and clearly enjoying being underwater = totally in her element, cute and magical Azu staying as close to her dear Master as possible not out of fear but out of pride, and the faelike archangel calmly and gracefully gliding by his father's love's side.

Said love can feel that Raphael is paying extra-attention and being extra-curious about what is happening here, given that such a 'pledge with a Primal' is something he never experienced with Ventus but only now with Shiva for the first time. Such a strange yet interesting act of promising something so meaningful to such an awe-inspiring Pokemon... Raphael soaks up the feelings and tangible meaningfullness like Vaporeon currently does with water-molecules, he chirps eagerly as he notices that doing so seems to awake some hidden strength within him that he wasn't aware is slumbering deep down his mind and heart...! And before he knows or fully understands what is happening, said hidden strength makes him glow in a soft bluish light and itself manifest in a pulsating ripple all around him - it is what is commonly known as a move going by the name 'Water Pulse'.

Primal Kingdra can also serve as a Master Water tutor. He'll teach moves in exchange for money spent on conservation efforts.

Once pledges are given and oaths are exchanged, Shiva does speak up towards Primal Kingdra once more: Or rather, it is Vaporeon who dares to come as close to the primal seahorse as they allow her to do, causing Shiva to intercept and voice a thought to bring Vaporeon's eager and playfulness into a better use than causing mischief. "Noble Kingdra", she says, "There is something about your domain and cave that strikes my eye, and it is how murky this cave is despite the water here is full of life and nutrions - I would have expected it do be ther other way round. However -" she strengthens her pose and Vaporeon perks up, "Please, let us use this high turbidity to our advantage and teach my dear and playful Vaporeon how to absorb and channel it into a blast to ward off dangerous threats and unaware opponents. I shall offer you gold and coins in return, something we up at the surface call 'money'."

"Now come on Vaporeon, please pay attention! Wouldn't you enjoy catching mean foes off-guard by spitting muddy water into their eyes?~ It also doesn't happen every day to be tutored by the VERY Master and Guardian of the sea, dear one!"

Costs

It's 75$P for every level, it will be 75 x 37 = 2.775$P. Shiva will hand Primal Kingdra exactly this amount in the shiniest coins she finds in her funds. Azu also chips in and magic's up a 50$P-coin just for Primal Kingdra.
