[Game thread] Skull Ruins Pokerole

"...I guess that means she felt it too..."

Nathan coughs a little.

"...I'll be fine, Terra.  Just...need a second...well, there goes my main hypothesis on why this is happening..."

Nathan has a weird feeling that something is maybe distorting time...that nurse's outfit definitely didn't look like a modern day one...

After Nathan starts feeling a bit better, he doesn't have much to say on that topic.  He does look at Heart, though.  "Heart, can I speak with you for a moment, please?"

Heart have a slight idea about what Nathan wants to talk. "Uh sure."

Ah, as long as it won't interrupt, endager or harm Dizzy's mission in any way, Shiva won't bother too much - she makes sure to tell him to not worry too much about what has just happened and concentrate on his tasks, she's there if needed and can call the Daycare Owners anytime and ask for help in his name too in case of emergency.

That incredibly adorable plush Shaymin gets cuddled right away regardless whether people are watching, Shiva's just loving it. Towards the Delta Incense she's having very mixed feelings but simltaneously a secure one that it was a good puchase, she is and will make sure that none cottons on to her having such an Item, mostly for her own conscience. But now that they're departing she doubts that she'll find the proper time to craft some plushies from Cottonee's fluff, at best before going to sleep within tent? What she does hope to do along the way though was starting on making Balls from the collected Apricorns.

Clockmaker: "Oh hi Shiva. I called Laurelin, but she said she's busy with her research and helping Bill with something. She promised to get to me soon though. I'll give you a call when I find out, shall I?"

Aww, he's indeed up already, it feels incredibly relieving to hear his voice at all. She ends up giving an compassionate nod to him before noticing that Ivy can't even see that. "That's very fine, I appreciate that you're after that issue and in contact with me concerning it! Letting me know when when the professor finds out something worth knowing would be much up my alley, please do so if possible, alright? I'll wait until hearing from you again then, thank you and see you!"

That'll be all, with a heavy sigh she ends up packing her cell away; she does feel a bit better about things now. There are still her own thoughts and ponderings where this weird phenomena might come from and what it has caused + what it MAY mean, she feels better to keep them for herself though until she's having some sort of evidence or otherwise feels confirmed in her suspicions.

As promised, she's lurking at the PCs of the Center afterwards, or to be more specific she seems to be busy on something at Bill's PC from the way she's concentrated on the screen. In fact, she's having a bit of a hard time to decide who she'll bring along to the way - both Delphox and Litwick have to drop out due to the constant pattering of the rain unfortunately. Vaporeon stays in for the exact same reason and due to keeping her close to her Egg, Shiva also wishes to bond more with Nightshade and Raphael... Damn, almost too many Pokemon she'd like to carry. In the end, she decides for a party consisting of Cottonee, Raphael, Vaporeon, Kyuu, Nightshade and Lilith. Dizzy, Eevee Egg and Petilil Egg do not count against the party of Six for her.

While waiting for the others and get going eventually, she summons the psychic cat to her side, he greets her by twitching his fluffy two cattails and purring a melodic note. Smiling dearly at him, Shiva almost has the feeling that he was able to sense that she's having a special gift for him! In fact, it's a weird green disk that he meets with a questioning look. "Not sure what that is, Kyuu? This is something extraordinary as it codes a particular move that's compatible with you. In other words, if I'll place you into the PC, boot up this disk as well and connect you with it, you're learning a new move to use. This move is a curious one as it'll manifest in a weird beam, content enough to dazzle opponents. Me thought that with your prankful nature would enjoy this! ^^"

Once Kyuu has agreed and everything is set up, Shiva does draw another disk - this one in a pleasantly pink shade. It's THAT one TM, the only one known of a Fairy Type move... She actually hasn't thought long after having shown it to both Cottonee and Raphael seperately to see how they react to the idea of learning the move. Only one of the two fairies could learn how to summon a dazzling shine in this case:

Spoiler

Cottonee will do so.

How she gave herself desirering of the TM, her worry of her combat skills being less than they'd be if she evolved - that hit Shiva hard and she almost felt sorry for asking her to save her energy instead of learning new techniques.

Raphael WILL get a Fairy Type move though as well if training more, to Shiva he seemed mostly curious about using a move of that type in general. Which she can greatly emphasize with, she would never dare to blame Ventus for that though.

Once both Pokemon have given a display how they enjoy their new moves, she's actually ready to depart from Center and get going! Vaporeon and Raphael stay out by her side.

EDIT: Is there also enough time that Shiva can go and buy two Great Balls at the Violet Tent, maybe while waiting for the others to show up/while her Pokemon learn the TM moves? If Terra has nothing to do while Nathan and Heart talk about something, she'd ask whether he casually wants to tag along.

That would not take long at all. <5 minutes.

Terra skeptically gazes at the clever trainer for several seconds, unsure whether or not to take their word as given on their post-lurch condition, but eventually he nods back, leaning back into his seat with tiny frown afterwards. While he wanted nothing more to help, if Nathan said they were find, he should just trust them and leave'm be.

He did perk up in interest as the boy declared he wanted to speak privately with Heart, but such interest didn't last as he resumed eating his breakfast. Whatever the two were/would be discussing didn't necessarily involve him (to his Knowledge), so he was fine with being 'left out of the loop' , so to speak.

As for Shiva's invitation to go shopping, he gently declined it, as he wanted to go out and confront/complain to those Daredevil Acrobats Intimidatingly for creating such a racket in the morning before the group departed. He mainly wanted to advise them to such things far away from civilization/in better weather and wasn't looking for a fight, but if they proved obstinated/dismissive of him regardless of Intimidation.....

....Well, he'll just leave and contact the local police about them disturbing the peace with all the noise they made. That's all!

Once that is resolved, Terra will be ready to depart!

Hahaha.

Fight + Intimidate = 8 dice.

(3)(5)(6)(6)(4)(6) (3)(6)

Terra appears outside and scolds the acrobats. Apparently he is menacing enough to scare the bejeezus out of them, for one yells "Leg it!!" and all four + their Infernape race away on gigantic stilts or swinging from their tightrope to clotheslines to flagpoles to get away.

I'm not going to waste this opportunity - they accidentally drop a TM in their haste to flee. Can you guess which one?

The mountain of a man nods and grunts in approval as those hooligans vacated the vicinity with extreme haste - that'll teach them, hehehe!

"They left.....hmpt, good. Now they know not to cause trouble agai-hmm?"

At this point he notices the TM they dropped (Which I assume is going to be Acrobatics, because anything else wouldn't be appropriet imo!), which he promptly picked up to examine for a bit to discreen  its identity, before taking it back into the Pokemon Center and presenting it to the Nurse.

"Rude performers outside dropped this TM, Nurse. What should be done with it?"

Terra's an kind, just sort of person, so opportunistically taking the TM for himself without inquiry about it wasn't in his nature, even if it means losing out on it potentially. He's honest like that!

Heart have a slight idea about what Nathan wants to talk. "Uh sure."

Nathan pulls Heart aside.  This shouldn't take long (IC, anyways).

"So, first of all, Tanuki told me what happened yesterday.  Said she was honored that you valued getting herbadge so much.  However...while I can understand why you pushed yourself so hard to win, as the unofficial medical guy in the group, I feel like I need to advise you to not make a habit of this.  Particularly since you got creamed by a Legendary Psychic and only narrowly avoided sustaining serious injuries.  I'm not a professional, but I've seen my fair share of Ponyta that wiped out all of their energy via overexertion.  Swiftfire even did that one or two times herself back on the ranch.  So I highly, highly recommend you avoid doing amything strenuous today, alright?  We don't need you hurting yourself, and it'd save me and Terra a few headaches."

A fairly gentle 'telling off', all things considered.  This time, anyways.

Heart look to Nathan, listening every word he say. He then talk again. "I...I sorry. For that trouble in worry you. Because of mine...odd creation, I sometimes put more energy than necessary. I already say, you the only person in this group who knows about my past...my father not rarely force me to go beyond the limits of my body. And as much I despise him even now his ghost hunt me....but I should have already put that behind and not worry any of you...so forgive me about the worry and trouble."

Heart indeed was making a truly apologize. If things was just like in the past, maybe he would never accept Nathan help...but after the battles and experiences the group share together Heart begin to have more respect and a bond of friendship with Nathan. He and Gallade save him from make a bad decision back when he was haunted by the memories of his past... and easy the burden of his clan.

As a signal of camadarage Heart offer his hand to shake. "I promise to avoid do such thing as much possible, unless it is extremely necessary like giant bugs of evil, Legendary Painted Pokemon's, evil mages, and bad plants. We cool man?"

(Bonus points from me for tying it into Heart's backstory!)

Nathan puts a hand on Heart's shoulder instead.  A handshake is a little too formal for what he's going for here.  "We're cool.  Just try and take it a little easier, particularly today.  Just between you and me, I think Terra takes his 'job' a little too seriously."
