[Game thread] Skull Ruins Pokerole

"We know the Scimitars have a lot of advanced machinery, in addition to whatever powers they seem to possess. This is good information. Anything else? You have my number, right?" She'll make sure you do.

"No, I don't have your number, actually.  But yeah, should probably take care of that now."

Hooray!  Now Nathan has Tanuki's number too!

"Awesome.  I'll keep ya posted on various situations, same as Dagny.  Think that's just about everything I needed to talk with ya about for the time being..."

So, now that that's done...let's lighten things with a little idle chatter before Nathan goes.

"Oh yeah, one more thing I wanted to ask ya...did ya catch the Champion Battle attempt last night?"

[PhantomUnderYourDesk]

(Shiva doesn't have anything more to say than gratulations to Terra and look at Lovely with a her eyes saying 'YOU'RE SO COOL!' before waving them goodbye for now - "I have business to follow now, but many thanks for inviting me to see your graceful battle! So, uhm, we'll likely see one another again either later or tomorrow morning. 'Till then!" Off she is then.)
------------------------------------------------------


With that finished, Shiva mades her way to a place she grew to greatly enjoy: The peaceful and slightly mystical Celebi Park at the edge of Cress City. There was something about this place that drags her to go there and dwell among the ancient trees that she couldn't properly explain in words, it partly had to do with sweet Celebi herself having opened her mind beyond a regular human mind. Finding an own Zigzagoon will have to wait yet though, but it's high on her list of things to do. Do that first, then go to Tanuki for a possible Gym Battle.

The young fae enthusiast seems to take two steps at once to get there, balancing herself with arms outstreched like wings as if she was flying there just like the Togekiss by her side did. His serene presence was very 'sensible' for her, and she unwillingly soaked it up into herself. A tiny cherrylike Pokemon was barely visible as it hid herself between the strands of Master's long brown hair, safely sitting there on her shoulder - must be her favorite spot. Running beside Shiva and encouraged to follow and keep up with her was a most curious Pokemon that she felt incredibly lucky to have her ID and OT on: A small doglike? Pokemon held in white, green and a bit yellow, it looked like it couldn't decide whether it shall be a dragon or a fairy. Her eyes are closed but she securely stays by her Master's side and doesn't loose track. Following from behind and taking playful leaps for walks, was Eevee's Water Type-evolution, she chirps in joy as she enjoys to run so carefree. Appearantly just as free-spirited with the only difference that he was flying instead of walking was a small red and white bird that kept the end of his baglike tail in his beak.  

Having arrived in Celebi Park, the first thing to do was to take a deep breath of clean air, before Shiva would securely head to the spot she planted the Kirlia Slipper at. So curious to see how it was doing, hopefully it was able to root further and live up again! If it has, she takes a souvenir photo of it before digging the flower up and re-planting it in a big enough windlight made of frosted glass that Shiva's fine to give away. Tam will rejoice!

She notices that Nightshade is curiously watching the whole process and throws delighted glances over to her Master. Silently she asked whether she too will bloom like this plant, or... no, she even HOPES that one day she'll be as pretty as it! Chuckling over this, Shiva strokes her dearly on the forehead, ensuring her in a soft voice that "She too will live up and become a cherry blossom, all with the warm light of the sun if she's only holding on firmly enough on this dream" Smiling at these words, Nightshade immediately starts to concentrate just like when she learned to cast magial leaves to follow a foe; and only moments later the sky opens up and the sunbeams feel a little warmer as they fell onto Master and Pokemon. Nightshade's eager to gather and photosynthesize them.

Luxi was sitting by Shiva's side and has watched everything as well - EVERYTHING. She sneezes as the sunbeams tickle her nose! Having lived down there in Mount Sentry among the orchids as a statue, this was all so new and exiting to her, what is this place Master has brougth her here?!

Vapreon meanwhile was more interested in the infamous pine needles that were covering the ground here and there and were sticking to her paws - but quickly she noticed that these feels soft and don't sting at all, ayyyeee! Wagging her mermaid tail in exitement, she begins to make a small heap out of them, shoving them together using her paws and forehead until it looks and feels like a pillow or a cradle. Then, she calls for her Master (who has finished business with the flower by then) to see and place her Egg into it. She seems pleased at this and hopes that the young one enjoys it.

During the whole time, the small red and white bird hatched from an Egg Ventus has given her was out of view, but Shiva was sure that she heard him caw a joyful greeting to wild Pokemon he met once or twice. He's free to explore the surrounding and will be called back to her when the small group is heading back to town.

Shiva's a bit sentimental to leave this place now and throws a look over to her shoulder in direction to the shrine, but she feels welcome to return here as often as she would want to. It was a warm feeling that allured a light smile from her as she and her Pokemon out start on their way back.


--------------------------
Mechanics:
That was fun to write, and it counts as a Training Session for Nightshade, Luxi and Vaporeon without really training for battle. Delibird is roaming free during all this, has he found something to gift Shiva as a Present here in Celebi Park? I'm also not too sure how Luxi would really react to being out in peaceful nature when she lived down in Mount Sentry always, so I left it deliberately open and vague for you to fill in.

With Kirlia Slipper ready to sell, Shiva goes straight up to Violet Tent to hand it to Tam for agreed 400$, and will let her know that she collected more Gracidea Petals - "Only one's missing for the full flower!" Also, is the clockmaker still there and can be aproached?

Kimono Girl Glaceon vs Terra Round 4

Glaceon becomes a streak of white lightning, now incandescent before the crowd, shedding scales of ice and moving at rapidfire speed. There is much applause!
Last Resort
(4) , (6)(2)(1)(3)(5)(4) = 7 perform
3 Str + 6 power -4* vit = 5d6
(3)(5)(5)(5)(3) Milotic takes 3 dmg

Disarming Voice, held back again
(5), (6)(5)(6)(5)(2)(5) Critical performance! Milotic performs a high note, gorgeous and clear, and Glaceon sinks to her knees.
(2)(5)(4)(3)(1) Glaceon takes 1 dmg and is out of the battle.

Terra obtains a red flower and a pin. Milotic gains 3XP, and Terra gains 2XP.

Terra accrued more than enough Perform to be offered a video deal.
https://pokemonuranium.co/forum/showthre...8#pid40488

You can get $600 if you sign.

They're probably not going to put Terra in the video at all, haha. It will just be Milotic, Milotic, Milotic.

As his glittering gemstone of a Pokémon sublime and melodious voice brought the match to a close, Terra was beaming up in purest joy for their splendid performance. He extended a hand toward them, and Lovely coiled, twisted, and reached down to meet it as he gently caressed their head, looking simply pleased and content.

"Well done. Very well done. You have come a long way from being a Feebas, and I am proud to have help you achieve your dreams of being beautiful and strong, inside and out. Thank you for being with me, my Lovely Lapis Lazuli..."

He then recalled him to his Net Ball in order to not to stress his body any longer fighting on dry land, and walked over to the Kimino Girl he fought and received his Pin and Flower with a humble bow.

"Thank you for making a wonderful performance with me, my lady.... *Trails off since he doesn't know her name* Your icy fox did well against Lovely, and together our Pokémon were more amazing than alone. I accept these gift gratefully, and thank you again."

Pinning the...well, pin to his shift and tucking the flower behind one of his ears, it was at this point he noticed how awestruck/admiring both she and her fellow dancer were left by his aquatic serpent. This caused him to pause and think for a moment, before he turned to regard them all and simply said:

"If you would all like to battle Lapis Lazuli too, we (him and Lovely) would be fine with that. All your foxes against him, putting on a big performance sometime later. Would be a good challenge for him, and impress many people. *Pauses* You can also take pictures of him and pet him too, if you want. That is fine with us."

As for the offer, he just signs it with a nod of his head and accepts the $600 Poke. Given that he wanted Lovely to get all the attention/respect he deserved for being a Milotic after all those long years as a Feebas, he was entirely approving of giving him such exposure, even if he didn't get paid for it!

Order: Have Terra offer to the Kimono Girl to pit ALL their Eeveelution against Lapis Lovely in a Grand Performance, after seeing them impact his partner had on them. Might as well try, and see how long a Milotic lasts against so many Pokémon!

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!

(I don't know when exactly Shiva receives that message and it actually doen't matter when she does, probably at a random when she checks time, weather and moon phase.)


With eager she stops in what she was currently doing and reads through the message, but she lets out a lightly disappointed sigh upon seeing 'ArcHeart' displayed as the sender and not '*insert a secret term of endearment for Ventus here*'. She also has to rummage in her mind to remember what a Gargryph was again..... Ah! That stony gargoyle from Tandor, right? Cool. Hehe, but would it be able to stand a chance against her treasured Grass Types...? She also has to read things again to make sure the message indeed stated an ALOLAN Geodude.

After a little pondering she types a quick message back to him.

It reads as following.

Well, hello Heart! Good to hear you're doing fine and are up and about. And thank you a lot for the info about the new Pokemon at the Shelter, I wanted to visit it soon anyway to teach my Bergmite some obediance. A Geodude from distant Alola though, whoahw... Good catch you made there. Take good care of it and don't allow it to fry everything, okay? If you could and I may, please let me take a look at the Original Trainer of that Geodude as well, am interested whether it's the same that I traded a white Vulpix with.

Dragons are a weird thing, maybe they're closer to fairies than I thought. I might take a look at that Exeggcute if I remember, so thank you for that as well! I don't think I'll adopt it though. So many Pokemon need and deserve my attention already!

Speaking of adopting; Heart, would you actually want to have that Tandorbug from me? You know, the one you named 'Harylect', picture incoming.

Isn't it cute?~ But not as cute as the pre-evolution, that one I'm keeping. Letting this Harylect take up Box Space would be a waste though, maybe you'd like to take it from me for...let's say 2000$?'

I'd say Nathan probably sees this message soon after he's done talking with Tanuki.

It's probably also at that point that he realizes he doesn't have Terra's phone number yet...ah well.  There'll be a chance to get it from him later.

Exeggcute definitely catches Nathan's eye, even though it wasn't directed at him specifically.  It only takes a Leaf Stone to evolve it, after all...and Alolan Exeggutor are huuuuuuge Dragons (they have 36 base HP in the 1.2 book, yo!  Thirty-six!!!  I doubt this Exeggcute would become a full grown, real deal A-Exeggutor since we're not in Alola, but that thing is still gonna be somewhat bulky, I imagine...)

Nathan also finds a Beldum being there...weird.  Low maintenance, evolves into something very strong...usually, a pokemon like that might have been adopted relatively quickly, right?

Nathan sends a quick reply back to Heart:

Okay...but why is that Beldum there in the first place, if I may ask?

Heart thinks for a second about what to do. A Eletric Bug coming from Tandor too? Heart Rare Collector side tingling in anticipation and sends a message for Shiva:

Shiva return message

Sure! When I return to Cress City I will let you take a look in the Original Trainer Card of Geodude. Also, yeah, thats a fair price for a Harylect. You will just need to take a while for me to get a little more money. I will sell a Crustle I have capture in Mt. Sentry. I gonna send you a message soon!

Heart return the reply of the message from Nathan.

Spoiler

Well...That Beldum have issues. He have the bad habit of getting in the way of other pokemon path and get himself into dangerous situations. Like getting in the way of Riolu attacks. With your care, I believe you can do something. And he may become less reckless if you fuse together with you own Beldum. He is inside a glass cage for his own protection. If you want to adopt him feel free. Its under your choice.

@Iron

"Oh, I'm in no hurry, get back to me on that whenever you like - I'm reserving that bug for you then. Stay safe, alright?"
