Looking at the picture of Carvanha displayed there, she shudders a bit. She cuddles Forthright like a stuffed animal and looks at you with giant eyes.

"Not what you expected?  Well, even scary pokemon can be really lovable.  Remember how friendly Orthros was?  And Ventus's Deino?  Carvanha should be much the same.  Newborns have a tendency to know who took the most care of their eggs.  And it makes them happy.  You want to hold on to the egg for a little bit?  Like I said, I'd very much like it if we did this together.  It's been...fun having you around.  And you're doing great with making friends with my pokemon, and taking great care of Forthright.  Shouldn't be too many problems with Carvanha if you keep up the good work, I think."

This speech is comforting to Furret, and she nods. But she puts a paw on your hand, making sure you'll be there to help in the days ahead.

There are several things to do at the nice bed and breakfast.

Your room is full of cushions and has a nice big bed with plush red bedding. There's a mini-bar with the basics, and room service can bring you more ingredients if you like.

The hot tub is in a nook in the room. Includes lots of scented oils and bubble mixes. By the bed is a phone and a TV and a mirror.

Downstairs, they will have a romantic candlelit dinner at 8:00. Each table gets its own little nook in the half-darkness. The waiter only comes by when you push the button to summon him, and to seat you and get you set up.

"What will you have to drink, sir and madam? Here is the drink menu, and the food menu for when you are ready." (Bear in mind this is all part of the cost of your stay.)

"Ah, and here is Cherie with your special dinner guest, Luvdisc!" Cherie comes in wheeling a cute fish tank with a small Luvdisc in it. Luvdisc comes to the surface as Cherie places wineglasses before each of you. "Sparkling or hard?" Whatever your preference, the special Luvdisc fires a Water Pulse of champagne directly into your glass! Then it happily blows bubbles within its tank, creating a pleasant white noise for the rest of the dinner.


The menu includes things like Clawitzer claw, fancy salads, steaks (grown in a lab, but this is not advertised or considered unusual in Creshire), and every kind of pasta under the sun.

"Don't worry, Ralts and I aren't going anywhere as long as ya wish to stay."

Oh right, actually Shiva does have a pocket umbrella in her stuff, but she didn't took it to stage nor could she have been sure that her plan would work out. Nevermind, next time she'll remember that, she doesn't wear an make-up currently that could have ended up being smeared and there's probably still enough time to towel her hair dry before she's pick Ventus in the Lobby. She could even - will - do on the way with that towel from the Spa Resort in Fireweed Forest.

What a precious and enjoyable battle though, even if it lasted not even a minute! Azu didn't looked pained at all, so Shiva ended up picked the fae rabbit up and they ended up sharing a loooong and tight hug that would hopefully never end - for now, Azu has leveled-up from being her bringer of happiness to her bringer of happiness AND summoner of rain. Letting the sun shine to her desire and the rain fall when she calls for it - nature surely was benelovent if treated right, and Shiva felt almost blessed that she made it reaching this point together with her Pokemon.


That delightful moment was soon 'disturbed' by that guy running up to her, catching her attention and earning wondering chirp from Azu. Shiva carefully listened what he had to say, before that soft-compliment for her battle sinked and caused a pretty coy yet thankful manner and body language. She struggles to face that man when responding, drawing Azumarill closer up to her face, but it was obvious that she was smiling in silent delight. "I'd be...happy to contribute my battle to that compilation... I indeed am, t-thank you! Really. No cropping out needed. I'll look forward to receiving that copy, I'll probably send it home to my parents." After careful reading of the form, Shiva signs it with her full name, hands it back, and places Azurmarill down beside her. (I'll add 600$ to charasheet then. Does Shiva receive such a red flower with a clip as well, simply for symbolism?)

Shiva also coyly waved to Heart in the crowd, but before they can make their way to the Center again (or wherever Hearts wants to go) and Shiva could meet up with Ven, she has one small sentiment towards the Kimonogirls:

Spoiler

"Excuse me..... C.... can I, maybe, stroke that Sylveon just once? >///<; Only shorthly over its cheek... I train and raise a few Fairy Types by myself and have forged a strong bond with two of them, and the grace of this Eeveelution awes me quite much."

Yes, all victors get the red flower and pin!

"You may pet her, but be very gently and friendly. If she shies away from you, please let her. We have to respect her privacy."

But Sylveon lets Shiva have a few strokes before she trots back to her trainer.

After that wonderfull perfomance of Shiva and her meet with Sylveon, Heart finally join with her to talk. "That was a great battle you did there Shiva. And a beautiful way too. You and Azu have a strong bond between you too. Just like my bond with Rose." Heart smile. "I think tomorrow the battle shall continue, and I problably going to fight next maybe. I gonna train a bit to be ready. Its still have some light today, so I will try to find someone to battle. Koa and Typhon still need to sharp their claws and eletric attacks. I have decided to take Koa or Rose to the next pokemon battle. There might something interesting to happen. I beg your pardón Shiva. But I going to take you to the pokemon center or other place you want."

Mechanics: Acompany Shiva to the pokemon or other place then find someone to battle! 5x5, 700 pokedollars. Since Koa and Gustav still having faint and recovering from the last battle, I gonna change that too in the PC. Unless they are already recover.

No one in Cress City is willing to battle you, because they only battle for ceremonial purposes here.

(In this case I will have to find another option)

After Heart failling to find someone to battle, he decided to return to the pokemon Center. He bring Koa, Tynamo and Rose. "Welp guys. Lets do some training today. After the battle we do today, you did a great job today. But we cant let that victory to avoid us. Tynamo, as always, lets train you energy production. Koa, you have some problems with your ability about other gender of you. Since a simple human its not strong enough, then lets do a double battle. Me and Rose shall fight you. No special moves, only our sheer strengh. Rose, this is a special to you too. This time you shall need to learn how to use one hundred percent of the potential of your speed. Lets go!"

Mechanic: Training session.

Rose gets a Brawl training roll.
(4)(4)(1)(4)(2)(2)(3)(6)(3) - that's 5XP for her.

Koa and Tynamo gain 2XP each, because pure strength is perfect for Koa and a low-tech city is perfect for Tynamo.

After that training Heart take shower after that long day. When he go out of the shower, he take a moment to see the window. It was beautiful night. Then he force a bit the vision and could glimpse the Cathedral once more. "Hmm, if I recall Gargryph have more tendecy to appear during times of dark. I think its a good idea to take a look there." Then he change clothes and go to the cathedral.

[Iron]

*rolls*

The cathedral looks amazing in the dark, with all the candles lit. Sure enough there are a lot of strange shadows and sculptures looking eerie in the dark. But as far as you can tell, the number of gargoyles on the edifice is the same as it was last night. You spend some time crawling and prowling around out there, (this whole thing will use an Encounter slot), but all you find is a pair of Murkrow, a Golbat, two Venomoth, and you almost bump into an Ariados that seems as surprised as you are. Inside the Cathedral, you hear a rhythmic ticking noise.

(I've already edited the Money on hand on charasheet yesterday, so the current amount is plus 600$ from the battle at the Pagoda/for the rights of the recording of it and minus what was left to pay for the room.)


In the end it was Shiva who somewhat carefully, yet behind the pages eager, took the initiative and locked their room open with her on received roomkeys, and the moment she stepped into it and dared to take a look around, she knew that she'll enjoy the stay here to the utmost. Everything looked and felt like luxury, so noble, precious, and simply good quality! It was giving out such a peaceful comfort and calm that she instantly felt well here, the romantic aspect was not horribly obvious as she (in her mind thankfully) realized, the focus seems to lay on comfort, pampering and simple wellbeing, yay!

In a swift and graceful movement, Shiva cannot help but to sweep one of these fluffy-looking cushions from the ground and allow herself to fall backwards into the bed hugging it, smiling an d sighing in pleasure upon realizing how cozy it was. Hummm!~ It's been quite a while since she was enjoying such luxuries, and it was due time! The red color of the bedding agve everything a warm and almost sultry touch, or so she felt. She couldn't help the amused chuckle that escaped her at that realization. Why someone would need a mirror beside the bed, she didn't know, but now it was there, she'll later brush her hair in front of it just because.

There was enough time for using that hot tub before dinner would start at 8pm, and it was incredibly relaxing although she was just as shy about it and had to almost force herself to not look at these nasty scars of Ven longer than necessary and instead enjoy an iced tea from the minibar. Only now in a due to its simplicity noble black swimsuit that beautifully underlined her curves it was noteable that Shiva was actually rather well-resourced, and if she wouldn't be that coy or nerdy, she could probably melt the heart of every man if she'd start to deliberately ooze some charm, especially of the weak ones. But Ventus was anythingelse than a weak man. (Ven, if you want to outplay anything here at the room or similar, feel all free to do so!)



The robes from the closet were indeed really soft, so Shiva will probably stil wear it when she and Ven headed down for DINNER! Yay! After the room was fulfilling all her expectations, Shiva couldn't wait what specialities the menu will consist of.

.....It had everything she could ask for! <3 She's way too busy determining what dish she'd order, so "Oh... Eh, Ven, what do you want to drink? I'm fine with everything, soft and hard, so I'll leet you decide, alright dear?" As for food...hmm, Clawitzer claw sounds awesome, but she's not in the mood for that, neither for anything lab-grown, so she will end up deciding for a fancy-sounding pasta salad with selected and well-prepared root vegetables from Garlicburg. "Ah! Do you also have something with Rawst Berries for my new white Pokemon?"

Hard champagne was her choice, and Shiva delightfully applauded to that Luvdisc after its performance! Such a skill, and this heartshaped fish was just cute in contrary of all the other fishlike Pokemon that Shiva either didn't like or wasn't interested in at all. After having chinked glasses with Vena and while they waited for their food, Shiva was curiously mustering that Luvdisc in her fishtank, how it was blowing bubbles within its tank as if this was completely her own world. A few times, she even stroked the glass or touched it where Luvdisv was currently residing as if Shiva was trying to stroke the inhabitant of the tank instead. Eventually, she asked for Cherie to come to them once more. "*cough* So, ehm, I just wanted to ask... That's the particular Luvdisc that can be bought, is it? What other skills to she bear? And....how much was it again for her, 500$, correct?"

[Iron]

"Yes, she'll stay with you for the duration of your visit, and if you wish to take her along it is $500 if you provide your own ball."

Luvdisc*
Swift Swim
1 Loyalty, 2 Happiness, 0 Disobedience
Charm, Draining Kiss, Water Pulse (Champagne Pulse), Attract, Sweet Kiss

500$ - that wasn't much for her, and she could even kindly ask Ventus to share the costs with her. Several moments passed where Shiva was simply watching that pink heart-shaped fish having its fun in the small fishtank, constantly providing a pleasant white noise in the half-darkness, eventually she sighed again and rested her head on her hands while she eventually starting to dearly smile at that fish and pet the glass with the tip of one finger. She's very aware of the lore surrounding this particular Pokemon, and how it's much more suited for Contests than Pokemon Battles - Wallace, the praised Contest Master from distant Sootopolis City, owned one as well, that much she knew...

"Thank you, Cherie. Yes, I'd be happy to keep this sweet Luvdisc as a companion during the stay... Whether continuing to do so after the visit, I'm not completely sure yet. I really like it and I have enough Pokeballs - But, to help me decide, please do tell me - would it even be happy to come with me? How often does it occur that customers buy one these Luvdisc, won't it be sad to be seperated from the others of the swarm or is it trained to not mind if being taken along by a couple? I likely won't battle with it anyway, too precious, so that's no issue."

"Oh, Ven. You haven't said anything concerning this yet... What, ehm, are your thoughts? Would you be.....fine with sharing the 500$ with me?"
