Almost hot. The sun was brighter... Could it be that one of her Grass Types... That'd be aaaaawesome and prefectly timed, but sadly she had no time to check on that now. Turning to her Abra instead. "Alright Helios, we need to teleport to the Center of the town. Preferably to the rear entrance if possible, somewhere around there is a person I wish to encounter or wait for, so off we go!"
When Ventus arrived at the Pokémon Center, he immediantly went over to the PC and set about to re-arranging the Pokémon in his team in preparation for the trades he was about to conduct, before he made his way over to a lobby table and almost collapsed into a chair. His legs were equisitely smarting, his lung felt as if they were on fire and pop right out of his chest, and the adrenanline that was previously coursing through his body was no abscent, leaving him feeling
very worn out. Overall, the Running clearly had taken its toll on the erstwhile researcher, and if he didn't take the time to rest now, he was liable to suffer a case of cardiac arrest!
'Oh dear, if I ever do another grueling endurance run like that again, I believe my legs will detach from my body and catch aflame as offerings to Reshirim! Still, I'm in relatively fine condition despite my exhausted state of being, so just a brief rest will suffice in clearing up the worst of it, along with some form of hydration and snack from the comissenary. If anything, I'm quite thrilled that I was able to endure the Running for however long I did, as it proves that my journey through the region has restored my Vitality and Strength back to their previous states!' the sociologist thought to somewhat happily to himself, doing his best to ignore the deleterious feeling he had regarding the latest fiasco he caused. Their was time enough for him to face those emotions later, when he had fully recovered from his recent ordel and conducted is post-Running transactions...
Eventually, Ventus felt that he could walk about without disasterous consequence for his health, and left the lobby for the caferteria to grab himself some refresements and a hearty meal to re-fortify his body after the sheer amount of energy it expended. Next, he went back into his room, took a quick shower to cool down and wash all the sweat he accumulated off, and cthen hanged out of his disguise into his regular attire of green tweed, as they no longer needed to conceal themselves at this point. Plus, the ninja cowl + bandana was getting a bit too stuffy for his tastes currently! Once all that was done, the researcher departed from his room and headed to the lobby, feeling completely refreshed and chipper, and ready to get on with finding potential buyers for his recent rare captures!
...That is, until he saw Shiva in the lobby, peering inquisitively about the place as if she was looking for someone. Judging by the worried and slightly dismal feelings he was detecting from her, he had a more than a reasonable guess as to who that person of interest was... With a small sigh and not a small amount of hesitation, Ventus slowly walked over to the witchy woman, and began what he thought would be a unhappy conversation between the two. "Greetings, Shiva. I'm....sorry that I've been abscent for a few days, but preparations and training for the Running was keeping me busy, and I didn't want to bump into Nathan and run afoul with him once more. ...How have you been, my friend?"
Order: Have Ventus rest long enough so that Shiva has plenty of time to arrive at the Pokémon Center, and force him to talk to her. Let's see if all goes well speaking with her...
Also, I would like to Flashforward to Ven conducting his trade for the Items I specified to you Iron, so as get that out of the way and not worry about it later. Is that okay?
