Original Post

(...) Soon after, Terra returned the lady's bow with a nod of his head and a friendly smile, and stuck his hand out for a handshake.

"You are welcome. You fought very well and with great.....cleverness, and took the Strength of my partners without giving up or becoming....too unhappy. Learned much about you, yes....and I liked it all. Thank you for the match, Shiva. Be proud.....of your efforts, and stand tall."

He then wordlessly nodded to her agreement to get to the Pokémon Center ASAP, and journied back their in peaceful silence. Though he may of not a made a friend of her today, and in fact probably did a lot of harm to their fledging bond by being so adamant about Basteele's right to use Explosion whenever, Terra though that things went well with Shiva overall. Only time would tell if such developments continues...
(…)
Along the journey, the rugged wanderer was surprised for the umpteth time by Shiva at her casual mention of being a Move Tutor. This woman was just full of unexpectected talents, wasn't she?

"You are a Move Tutor....? And you are....offering to teach my Pokémon your secrets, and give them such gifts? …This is almost too much of a honor for us all....but I accept. *Stops and bows to her steeply out of respect* Thank you for kindness and.....generosity, wise woman...."

Huh, well how about that for a reaction?

She does accept his handshake for sure and is amazed how big his hand is in comparison with hers, she trusts that he doesn't crush her hand though because she just feels that he wouldn't do such a thing. This match may not have been the 'best' or most enjoyable after some point, but overall it wasn't bad and it was totally worth taking the time for! She hopes for a rematch in the future, but doesn't want to ask for that right now.

She also likes the wandering monk's presence, as otherwise she wouldn't have agreed to join the small trip to the Tea Ceremony of Kimonogirls. That, and there were evolved forms of dear Eevee to see!~ It's yet too early for her to call him a friend, but the door to that hasn't closed just because bad turn with Explosion - she just doesn't wish to bring any of her Pokemon near Basteele on free will.

But when he calls her a.... WISE WOMAN and even bos to her in respect, THAT somehow threw her for a loop. In a positive way though as she feels flattered by that for sure, it's just way too much praise that she may have accepted, aaaahhhh! In fact, after a hand gesture of 'It's no big deal!' she scratches the back of her head in embarrasement. "Get up again! >//< It's...fine, haha, but...thank you? I AM no Move Tutor yet, I'm still learning and refining my skills in that feel! But...the offer stands."

Oh right, and that Dunsparce Egg is of course given to him when he requests it. She strokes the blue and yellow Egg a little and graces it with a smile before handing it over.


-----------------
Mechanics:
Terra's battle will hopefully not take too long, so I'm fine with waiting until that's rolled out to continue my business instead of flashing forward (can type it up in the background already maybe). So curious to see how my Vaporeon takes being brought to watch a graceful performance of other Eeveelutions! :>

Heart quick take away the metal objects back to his hands. "Huh, very eager to manipulate metal heh? I believe you would have be cool with a Pokemon of mine, Typhon. He have magnetic powers too. Hmm. He is a eletric type too such as yourself. I come back soon." Then Heart aproach his PC and have bring his pokemon Typhon. Heart release too the Gargoyle Pokemon, Gargryph to meet the Alola Pokemon. "Geodude, meet Gargryph and Typhon."

Gargryph gives Geodude the staredown, but Geodude is more interested in sparking back and forth with Typhon. They are enjoying sending currents between each other. Typhon now fully understands how magnetism and electricity are basically the same thing.

"Huh, Gargryph as always giving everyone the staredown. Dont worry about him Geodude. He give everyone that staredown. As I could see you and Typhon have get along very well. How about a little battle Geodude? I want to see what kind of moves you capable of. Lets do it. Since I heard you have tendences to...violent things, I think we should get a more careful aproach. Typhon will your opponent. Lets see what kind of material you are make Geodude."

Geodude: (6) +2 Dex + 3 Survival = 11
Typhon: (3)

"Well, lets begin then. Since eletric attacks will not work, lets see some physical strengh! Heabutt 3x Typhon! Hold your strengh if necessary buddy. Dont faint the Geodude!"

Heabutt Accuracy: Dex (4) + Fight (3) + Brawl (3) - Actions (3/4/5) = 7d6/6d6/5d6
Damage: Power (3) + STR (3) - NE (1) = 6d6-1
Effect: D3 to flinch.

Geodude starts things off with a Thunderpunch! But it can't hurt Typhon at all.

Headbutt 1
(1)(4)(4)(5)(4)(5)(6) Critical
(4)(1)(2)(6)(5) Geodude takes 2 dmg 4/6hp -1 pain

Geodude shrugs. He can't compete with Typhon.

She flies off the handle.
"That's a damn disgusting thing to do! Damn them! The League has secret files on these guys but hot damn I'm going to break down their door and tell them to get their asses in gear and take out these assholes! Can I call you to offer evidence if it comes down to that? They might want to subpoena Solosis."

Nathan nods.  Both because he agrees with Tanuki, and because he'd be more than willing to help out if needed.

"...though I should also mention that, uh...Solosis doesn't have her former trainer's OT any more.  She, uh...kinda has...mine...Celebi offered to free her from the pokeball that the Scimitars had captured her in...and the process involved some kind of weird machine they called a Time Capsule...and I think the end result was it altered time in some way and changed who her original trainer was...so the only evidence I could really offer is our word that what we're saying did indeed happen..."

"...on the plus side, though, I think the less baggage she has relating to those...events, the better, even if it might make things more...complicated.  And Shiva, Heart, Ventus, and Valder could all testify concerning what we saw too if needed.  Particularly Ventus."

"...and there is some other semi-good news concerning this...I know of some ways that might be able to restore the brainwashed pokemon to their original states.  This...isn't the first time a very technologically strong group has done this to pokemon to exploit them...which is probably another reason why Celebi was rather angry about this..."

"I know what you're talking about. But what else might be able to restore the brainwashed Pokemon, besides Celebi?"

"Hmm not bad. Thunderpunch and Rollout. You have some skill in fighting with you. Impressive. What you think about join me? I have a atraction with unique and rare pokemon of around the world. I travel to many kinds of place: Tropical, Tundra, Forest, Deserts, etc etc etc. Such pokemon as yourself would be a awesome member of my team. And you could fight against powerfull opponent. Including a certain Gym Leader of Cress City. I also gonna challenge Zamboni, Gym leader of the Ice Gym and your strengh would be very much apreaciated. What you think my friend? Wanna join me?"

The Kimono Girls are a little wary when Terra, that mountain of a man, is drawn from the audience to battle them. But when a Milotic appears, their attitude changes instantly! They start sighing and crossing their fingers that they will be the dancer selected next!

Vaporeon enjoys watching the moon tea ceremony with Espeon greeting the sun at its highest. She bobs her head in time to the dance and twitches her tail like she wants to join.

(6) Milotic will be facing a Glaceon. Milotic entwines herself around the arch like a beautiful grapevine. When the sun reaches its highest point and the Ice Pokemon takes what's left of the stage, Milotics incredible scales glitter with supreme beauty. One of the Kimono Girls even has a tear in her eye.

Glaceon: (5)
Milotic: (1) + 7 = 8

*Flashback!*


Terra couldn't help but smile at seeing Shiva being so humble about one of her talents/proffessions, straightening himself at her request but still looking rather respectful/deferential.

"No, thank [i]you[/i]. A learning Move Tutor is still a Move Tutor, and you are honor me and my Pokémon by helping them...achieve their full.....potential. You have my.....gratitude, Shiva..."

*Flashback End!*

Geodude looks at Director North, who nods encouragingly. So Geodude also nods!

North says "You can leave the money with the secretary, and Geodude will be ready to go home today! His medicals are all up to date."

"I know what you're talking about. But what else might be able to restore the brainwashed Pokemon, besides Celebi?"

"Well, Celebi can do it, as I saw her restore Solosis.  Any strong artifact that contains a portion of her power might be able to do it too.  I asked her if there was anything like that besides the Relic Stone in Atheneum in Creshire, but...she didn't have a solid answer for me.  Atheneum's Relic Stone also isn't very accessible, unfortunately..."

Nathan digs around in his bag for a moment.  "Celebi's not the only Legendary that can restore emotionless and unwilling pokemon, though.  And there's potentially another way, too."

He pulls out two things: his journal, and the three Red Gemstones he has (his, Ventus, and Valders').

"These gemstones were given to us by Mesprit.  Mesprit can open closed hearts too.  Restoring their emotions via triggering old, happy memories...that's how you purify them, and Celebi and Mesprit can both do that directly.  I can call for Mesprit once to ask for their help with this when the time is right.  The other method..."

He opens his journal to his section on Orre, the Relic Stone, and the Purify Chamber.  All of which is public knowledge...if you know where to look.  It's not easy information to find at all.

"...Orre's had to deal with emotionless pokemon that were used as little more than tools before.  They were dubbed Shadow Pokemon, and these members of the Solosis line...they're scarily close to what I've heard about Shadow Pokemon.  Not quite the same...but similar enough that there might be a known, artificial solution.  Somehow, some way, Professor Krane in Orre managed to create a machine that took advantage of the happy memories of other pokemon to purify Shadow Pokemon, to be used as a backup plan or alternative to Agate Village's Relic Stone in the event Shadow Pokemon ever saw a resurgence in the region.  It's not as easy nor elegant a solution as calling for a Legendary pokemon...but it's something if we have to fall back on it."

Milotic will be facing a Glaceon. Milotic entwines herself around the arch like a beautiful grapevine. When the sun reaches its highest point and the Ice Pokemon takes what's left of the stage, Milotics incredible scales glitter with supreme beauty. One of the Kimono Girls even has a tear in her eye.

Shiva does too upon fully realizing that Terra owns such a BEAUTIFUL and MAGNIFICIENT Pokemon that's causing heated discussion whether it should or should not be banned from Pokemon Contests because of it's immense graceful traits and can't help but to stare at that Milotic in admiration before she rubs her eye to get rid of possible tears. Before she was naturally admirering Umbreon's performance.

Of course she'll kindly ask how he evolved it, but not too soon and rather at an appropriate time. No hurry!

As for Vaporeon, that was so cute to see how she enjoys it, and Shiva doesn't do a thing to discourage that! In fact, she joins and wags with her own waterly Eeveelution in rhythm to the dance on stage. The tea handed out is shared with her too.

With that say, Heart go in the direction of the secretary and put the 1750 Pokedollars. He also enter in contact with everyone of his party to give the update of his day:

Le message

Hey everyone! Heart here^^I have in contact to tell you all I okay. I have finished a total battle of 6x6 and won with only 5 of mine pokemon! Gargryph rules in the battle with Substitute and Sandstorm. Anyway, I have come to the Shellter to put one of my pokemon to have some vacations, and I discover something awesome! They have 4 new pokemon in the Shellter: A hot head Riolu. A Beldum. A Alola Geodude. And a Exeggcute with dragon affinities, so maybe it is a Alola Exeggcute. When I fought that Riolu I remember of you Terra, so I ask the director if you can come here to adopt the Riolu and he say there is no problem! It is 1200 Pokedollar to adopt but such a strong guy like you dont have any problem!

And I remember you receive a Beldum from Dagny Nathan, so if you adopt that Beldum and put together with yours, they gonna form a Metang. The price to adopt is around 500 Pokedollar so thats something you can afford my friend! And Shiva, I know dragons its not your thing, but these Exeggcute would be something interesting to be add in your team if want. And a good source of food together with your Tropius so thats a option too! I already decided to adopt Alola Geodude since its a rare pokemon around here. Anyway see you guys soon! Heart out!
