[Game thread] Skull Ruins Pokerole

[PhantomUnderYourDesk]

Whoahw, even more cops. Whatever was happening there, WHATEVER, Shiva did not want to deal with this, at all. Cops usually meant that the situation was under control according to her view, hopefully it was, that trouble... Nope, enough of that. That bad feeling has given her enough of a hard time, and there was no reason anymore to not make haste into safety again. Far a way from the Tournament Plateau, if possible. Phew, now she was almost relieved that she doesn't have to return here for another matchup...

Heart notices something wrong with Shiva. "Is something wrong Shiva?"

"...Everything's wrong. I'll get going back to the GPC, you can come too, I just want to GET AWAY FROM HERE."

Heart notices something wrong with Shiva. "Is something wrong Shiva?"

"...Everything's wrong. I'll get going back to the GPC, you can come too, I just want to GET AWAY FROM HERE."

Heart almost startle with Shiva sudden nervous side but he control himself. "Ooookay then. I will be you bodyguard for today Shiva (Why did I feel a dejavu here?)." Heart then bring Viktor out of his pokeball. "Viktor dear, if you detect any kind of trouble please tell me okay?" Then Heart send a quick message to Ventus in his Pokefone.

Message for Ventus

Ventus, I taking Shiva out of the plateau. We both can see the police there. Is there something wrong? We going back to the GPC. Anything please tell us.

Heart think for a second and then he send a quick message to Jamison the biker if he can scout Heart and Shiva if he is someway close. They kinda need in help here.

Le Message for Biker Jamison

Jamison, could you get here in the Little Cup please? We need you help here please. If you are close somehow please come here the mostly quick possible.

After that Heart talk with Shiva. "We get out soon Shiva. I just send a message for Jamison scout us just in extra preucation. And a message to Ventus. Lets just wait a bit. I promise." Say Heart trying to calm Shiva.

Dagny asks Ventus to brief her personally. "Might as well meet me here with Nathan." Nathan is told this too, of course.

Nurse Joy is reluctant to let Shiva leave, until finding out she'll have a bodyguard. "I was told to tell you to stop by the Gym sometime tonight, if you can."

[Dragonstrike]

"Ten-four, Dagny."

Nathan's waiting outside the gym with Kirlia, Forthright...and a two foot tall electric spider that's still crackling with electricity in the rain (Forthright's keeping a respectful distance from the overly friendly, battle loving tarantula).  There's still a couple scratches on his face and hands from the 'sandstorm'.  Not nearly as many, but they're still noticeable if one looks closely enough.

Shiva increases her grip on one of Heart's velvet red sleeves, concentrating on her breath between the words. Nope, she's not panicking - maybe close to it though, if things go wrong even more."Fine... Waiting is it then... A message to dear Ven is good... Just stay here, please. Hah... Hell, whatever's happening there, whatever reason there is that this 'trouble' is after me, I'm not getting it - how could have things gone...such a way..."

Next, she facepalms with her other free hand, going silent. Meanwhile, Kyuu in her arm gave his Master a worried 'meow' while looking up to her... He wanted to help, but had no idea why, so he just leaned into her hoping for some pets. Nightshade, not having lost too much of her happiness from the lost battle against that Tailow, naturally picked up that Master was not that happy as she was - why, what was wrong with her...? She saw her Master like this for the first time, and she didn't enjoy the sight. At all. Having made up her mind, she charged up and leaped from Nurse Joy's care up to her Master's right shoulder, hiding herself between some strands of hair...

Brightening up the sun within this room turned out to completely fail, as she tried that. Whatelse could she do... Something, anything... All these worries filling her Master, darkening the joy she usually felt when Nightshade casted some of her rainbow-coloured leaves, when they hit their target even against the odds, and when the sun was warming both of them up... Aww, the sun. Natural Vitamin D. A medicine against the worries... Stupid worries. Nightshade wished they'd just disapear... Are thrown away from oneself like when she performs a Leech Seed... Maybe it works? Concentrating on that worried state of her Master, Nightshade did try to perform a Leech Seed. The seed created was different though, it was pitchblack... She nudged Master, showing it to her.

The sensation that her dear cherrylike Pokemon has learned Worry Seed (for 28xp) in a semi-helpless desire to make her feel better, did calm Shiva to some degree, especially as she stroked her Pokemon's small forehead in a silent thank-you. Doesn't matter if her Pokemon were small and unevolved, she loves them not only because they were her first own Pokemon to care for.

Stop by at the Gym...? WHY?! All she wanted was to head back to the dorm she was sharing with Ven, to find some rest and hide under the blanket... Ugh, but she could have guessed that Dagny would want to speak about what has happened there... "Fine. I'll be going to the Gym... "

[PhantomUnderYourDesk]

When she (and Heart, as he guards her) arrive there, not before having changed back from festive to her usual attire, she does not say a word to Nathan, just gives him an exhausted hand gesture and a faint smile as a greeting. As well as... "Thank you. Whatever you did, thank you. Nice big spider. Ugh..."

She has cover from the rain via a pitchblack umbrella, and no Pokemon outside.

Message for Ventus

Ventus, I taking Shiva out of the plateau. We both can see the police there. Is there something wrong? We going back to the GPC. Anything please tell us.

Dagny asks Ventus to brief her personally. "Might as well meet me here with Nathan." Nathan is told this too, of course.

Nurse Joy is reluctant to let Shiva leave, until finding out she'll have a bodyguard. "I was told to tell you to stop by the Gym sometime tonight, if you can."

"Affirmative. I'll be at the Gym promptly. See you then," Ventus said, before hanging up and putting away his phone....until it started busing again, and he was forced to see who was messaging him this time. Turned out it was Heart, and, after thinking about it for awhile, recorded a voice message and sent it to them: "Good. Their is nothing to worrying about anymore, so calm yourselves. Meet me and Nathan at the Gym for full debrief."

The disguised researcher then exited the basement/Departments Store and head straight for the Gym, only stopping in his journey to the Gym to duck into an allyway and remove his disguise. No need to draw attention to himself, nor ruin his 'Hasmed' persona just in case he needed it for future operations. When he got their, he noticed that Nathan had already arrived before him with Kirlia and......a Galvantula?

'Oh my.... it appears Grid has finally evolved to into his most powerful form ! Hmm.....no doubt this was triggered due to his participation in 'The Little Cup Crisis' , judging by the wear and tear present on him and everyone else. I'll most likely get the full details of what happened shortly, so for now.....' Ventus though, before approaching Nathan and making his presences known to him and his Pokémon.

"Greetings, Nathan. I assume you are here to give your first hand accounts of your struggles with the Scimitars to Dagney, which you have no doubt subdued and reliquished into police custody by this point? As for how I know that, you'll find out when I divulge my role in this matter to her and everyone else coming here, so as not to repeat myself unnecessarily. Ah, here they come now," the researcher said, waving as Shiva and Heart arrived on scene.

"Now, shall we make our way to Dagney, everyone?"

[PhantomUnderYourDesk]

As soon as Ventus was within reach however, Shiva practically fell round his neck - needless to say that in times where she's not doing too well, she's more than happy to see him and stay close to him.

"Hell, and where were YOU all the time...?Ah, doesn't matter, let's proceed to the Gym then..."

[Dragonstrike]

"I know there's nobody out here in the rain, Ventus, but do try and keep things quieter, please."

Notably, Nathan's not got the same nervous, quiet demeanor from before.  Nor does he try and keep his distance from Heart.

"Dagny said you were involved, and frankly, I'm looking forward to hearing exactly how that happened, considering Dagny called me personally about it."

Nathan looks at Shiva.  "You doing okay?  Figured warning you sooner rather than later would be better in the long run."

[Lord Windos]

As soon as Ventus was within reach however, Shiva practically fell round his neck - needless to say that in times where she's not doing too well, she's more than happy to see him and stay close to him.

"Hell, and where were YOU all the time...?Ah, doesn't matter, let's proceed to the Gym then..."

The researcher nearly tripped and faceplanted into the ground when Shiva rush up to entangle him, and the palatable fear, anxiety, worry, and nausa pervaded his empathy and nearly caused him gag in pure surprise. Thankfully, his iron hard grip on himself both in body and mind allowed him to endure his most blessed friend's fright fueled actions, returning her hug with a gentle, soothing smile.

"There there, my dear. Everything is alright now, and will become clarified shortly, so please don't fret...... I'm here for you, as I've promised to you so long ago....."
