[Game thread] Skull Ruins Pokerole

Heart did remember something he was about to ask Terra. "Thats remind me Terra: How things are going along with you, Riolu and Duskull? Riolu is pretty pride and difficult to raise, even more the hothead one you have. And Duskulls...well they pretty really difficult."

[Dragonstrike]

That Ancestor's Cave mentioned wouldn't be something that'd interest her if Nathan wouldn't have mentioned Eeveelutions, she highly wonders WHAT KIND of Eeveelutions may lurk within an ancient cave?? Fine murals are also something she'd be interested to see if there's a chance, so she carefully speaks to express her sentiments once more: "Uh.... Would you please let me join to your trip to that cave, Nathan? If desired, I'll help you catching some of the Unknown even, but I mostly wish to... see these Pokemon in there and the murals... I'm free tomorrow for most of the  day."

"...I guess that's okay...I mean, if you want to help, that'd be cool..."

That's really all Nathan has to say in response.  He's kinda surprised Shiva's interested in the murals, to be honest...he still seems kinda uneasy, but maybe talking about the League stuff would be easier?

Does Heart want to join the trip to Ancestor cave the next day?

"Well, if you guys dont mind, I would like to join with you people. But I will have first challenge Tanuki. Its something I really must do."

A small and careful smile is gifted to Nathan + Gallade as well, indicating to the later that Shiva's indeed not treating his owner much or much colder. She's friendly as long as you're friendly to her, unless there's a good reason not to be! "Thank you, Nathan. Appreciated! If you provide the needed Balls to catch the Unknown or give a free one back for every of my own used, I'm very fine with helping if possible and if I can do so. Tomorrow morning is also fine, I'll just need to head to Violet Tent real quick to stock up on some supplies before heading off, will meet you in the Lobby then if that's okay." Her mind continues to scream 'UMBREON! <3' and echo it, but not at full volume anymore as it slowly settling down again.

"So, ehm..." *gazes at everyone who has participated in this meeting for a moment* "...I guess that wraps things and this meeting for the most part? Thank you all for coming. So for the notes/to summarize, we will start out way towards Elanor most likely the Day after tomorrow, making stops at Bill's summer residence and Teazel Valley and its Safari Zone along the way. Thanks for.... ah, agreeing on this.... Thank you." These thanks are meant very honest, as it shows that her fear and high worry that the others may not believe her, disagree or being adamant on visiting the former next destination first/she not being able to convince them were unreasoned and only served to distress her. Now, with the agreement done, the thought of visiting an interestingly-sounding cave + berry-foraging with Terra 'n Tanuki and lots of Pokemon who care for her near her, she's feeling much better and like today was a success. She's pretty tired though as she realizes now that she allows herself to relax a little.

"Eh... Before we'll call it day though..." She sighs impercibly, "Nathan, I can feel that you wish to share something more. Is it about your former comment of me having beaten Tanuki" *her Zigzagoon growls a little at hearing this name and lets out some more electric sparks out of joy, which Shiva answers with stroking her* "as the second strongest person known to the League? Please tell real quick so that we can head downstairs for one more continue tutoring Porygon-Z Electroweb before I'll catch some sleep."

Terra's response was....mixed. One moment, he's almost beaming in pride, and the next he's looking a bit worried + troubled.

"*Smiles* Rilou and me are good. Both of us respect each other's strength, and enjoy sharing company. Still need to work lots on his.....reckless behavior, but don't see any problem doing that. We are friends now, and will become closer in the future."

"*Frowns* …Not doing so well with Duskull, though. …..Resents me, and does not to realy want to listen or obey. ...Took him training today, but he tried to run away when I was not watching. Got really far, before I caught him again. Want to be good friends and partner with him, but can't if he doesn't give me chance.....

"But. *Pauses* ...But he is willing to give me a chance. If I do....something for him. *Shakes his head* …Don't know what, though. So....I want your help with that, my friend. You own two strong Ghost Pokémon, Trevernant and Gollet. Gollet seemed to like you, and I did not read you and problems with other one. ...So was wondering if you could.....help me bond better with Duskull, and understand....his message so I can get what he wants. Got him to agree to meet you too, so he won't cause you trouble. ....Please?"

With Nathan's agreement, the rugged wanderer gave his own nod of approval. The more people coming together, the less danger they will all be in, so he's a-okay with this!

"Well, if you guys dont mind, I would like to join with you people. But I will have first challenge Tanuki. Its something I really must do."

That revelation catches Shiva a little off-guard, and her Zigzagoon growls again over the mentioning of her namesake Gym Leader. "Oh... Uhm, good luck on that then, heart! You may need it, she's... such an excellent battler... Greet her from me please! ^^ I don't mind waiting for you and giving you the chance of joining in that cave."

Nathan's having the last word on this though, it's his mission.

(Though is he also okay if Shiva would stick to his side unless something of high interest drags her away from there? All about his task of keeping her safe and well, you know. As a trade, he's close to a secure light source via Delphox/Tail Glow-Tricwe as a backup if I'm having room for her.)

Heart smile and nod his head in helping Terra! "Of course my friend! I not a specialist in ghost pokemon but I may be able to help you. About Duskull resents...well, thats very normal to some pokemon. Imagine if was free, than was capture by force for another person. Believe me, its not every pokemon who likes such thing. Especially ghost pokemon. Some ghost are very old and ancient. And thats makes them proud and very difficult to raise. Almost more difficult in raise Poison and Dragon pokemon. And believe me Terra, those types I have train too."

"Trevenant and I have a long run relation. He was one of the first pokemon to join with me. I have him since the day he was a smol Phantump and with the help of Shiva, he evolved to his form as Trevenant. His name is Viktor by the way. I name all my pokemons. I also have some conection with ghost-pokemon. To put in short, in our last adventure we have found a secret libraly in Mt. Sentry, and along with other treasures we acquire something incredible: Awakened Bloodline." Heart then bring both Golett and Viktor out of the pokeballs to show Terra. Golett nod his head in respect to his master, and Viktor exchange a hand punch to Heart. "To put in simple way, the Awakened Bloodline let a person conect with a Ancestor of her, and gain abilities to bond better with certain types of pokemon more easily."

"Mine is the Awakened Bloodline of the Soldier, coming my ancestor, the Knight Lady Ark. With that power, I can have a deeper bond with ghost pokemon. I dont know the extention of this ability, but I pretty I may help you my friend. With Golett and Viktor interacting with Duskull and my conection, we might have a chance to help you have a deeper bond with Duskull. This is the least I owe you my friend for helping capture Natu. And I a man with word."

(Hooray!~)

Besides @Iron, does Lilith actually react in a noteable way now that it's agreed that we'll be heading into a direction that is meaningful for a Cottonee and will (hopefully) progress the plot and deal with the threat of that meteor? She's been out of her Ball and with Shiva the whole time and has likely heard everything, though she's been asked to stay calm and concentrate on how the meeting goes.
