Oceans waves pulling in and out, in and out with the tide--that was exactly how the field of flowers looked at this moment. They swayed in the breeze, back and forth, back and forth, all in unison and in an explosion of a thousand different colors at once. Sunlight poured down easily without the obstruction of a single cloud in its way, letting one feel the light warmth of spring. Furret and other similar meadow-loving Pokemon were dashing in and out of the blossoms, visible one moment but hidden the next. It resembled a large-scale game of hide-and-seek to some degree.
In the middle of the field was a large shrine of bronze with an image for each of Shaymin's two forms--Sky Forme appearing confident before the docile Land Forme even in sculpture. Rays of light danced on the surface a moment before reflecting off, dazzling any whose eyes might be on the monument about now. Eyes like Shaymin's, perhaps.
Yes, in the middle of the field was a small bush, it seemed. Waking from her nap, Shaymin uncurled herself and made her way into the little burrow beneath the shrine, going all the way down to the tunnel leading to the Shadow Crystal she was watching over. It was still there in one piece--which was good but felt bad...the vibes coming from it were all wrong. Each tendril brushing across the surface was like a fragment of night itself trying to grasp the living. Nightmares on a terrible scale made themselves know on the crystalline surface, darkness breathing on the glass with such an anticipation to be set free and wreak havoc upon the face of all that was pleasant and comfortable. Why...Why would Alix want this? Why would anyone want this? She didn't know, but what she did know was that she needed to be away from this monstrosity. Now.
Bolting from where she'd been, Shaymin scanned quickly to see if anyone had noticed her come out of the den where the Crystal was kept. If someone were to find out where it was...No, that wouldn't be good. If Alix knew, she could easily get to it with her troops to overpower the small Titan.
Shaymin's eyes turned towards the skies, begging Arceus to fulfill his prophecy soon enough. She never wanted to be caught in this crossfire. |

Occurring moments after Shaymin's leaving of the den...
"So beautiful." Celestre smiled to herself, taking a deep breath of the sweet and clean air of the field. Though she expected some of the activity to not be the normal frolicking, but rather fleeing from the presence of a human, it lent itself brilliantly to the feeling of life that thrummed through the area. "And there... There's the Shrine!"
The woman's stride grew longer; not a trot, but nearly as fast without looking like anything more than a business walk. At the Shrine, she stopped entirely. Celestre closed her eyes for a brief moment in reverence, and then opened them with keen eyes. Every facet of that monument, she took in.
"These are always so beautiful... So detailed." Gently, she reached out and ran her hand over the statue of Shaymin's Sky Forme. "Who was lucky enough to have such a view of the Legends to craft these?"
[hopefully, it makes sense for a human to be here...?]

[sure it does]
Sensing another's presence, Shaymin quickly stepped back, beginning to curl into the ball stance she used for camoflauge, then stopped herself. This was the first time she'd seen a human here in quite some time. There was the Shadow Crystal she was protecting, yes, but...this human didn't appear to be searching for anything. Just honestly interested in the Shrine. Poking her nose out and inching forward, Shaymin stepped forward slowly, deciding that if she was noticed, she was noticed, and if not, so be it. [/size] |

[sweetness.]
"Hm?" Celestre made a sound of surprise as she saw movement in the corner of her eye. Surely the wild Pokemon around here were not that sociable? The field had been alive with them fleeing as she walked to the shrine. She rose to her feet, taking a step closer to the sheltered, grassy edge of the shrine.
All of her movements had their firm edges removed, leaving only a sense of respectful pride. Slowly, she removed a Pokeball from her waist.
"Doredia, assist me in finding the wild Pokemon nearby!"
[How long will it be before I don't role play so shakily again?]

"Doredia, assist me in finding the wild Pokemon nearby!" Doredia appeared from her Pokeball at her Trainer's command, looking a bit at the area before starting the search, though this was more an attempt of trying to find the best way to avoid getting herself dirty rather than scouting out potential dangers. Still, she was not careless and rather enjoyed the sunlight and greenery. It was like this place had been designed as a Grass-type haven, and the look on Doredia's face was a testament to how much it felt like home in just minutes.
Shaymin heard the Trainer's voice from where she sat in the tall grass, waiting for something to happen. She wasn't sure about being found, and the closer it came to looking like she was going to be, the more nervous she became. Would it mean a talk, or just a battle? Which of the two was worse? What if--
Crap. Doredia was standing over her, looking straight into Shaymin's eyes and letting out a cry to her Trainer to alert Celestre to the fact she'd found something...something rather interesting. |

"Lovely. I knew you were the one I could trust with this, Doredia." Celestre smiled as she walked over to where Doredia was watching Shaymin. The tall grass was not that hard to navigate - indeed, though a wild, it was a sort of paradise. None of it was knotted and messy.
But much of her composure was lost as she looked down at Shaymin. A childish grin broke out on her face, and a naive edge added to her movements as she knelt down quickly to get closer to the legendary.
"...The Pokemon of the shrine." Her words were breathless, and her hand touched her pendant.

Shaymin started up at the girl, eyes wide with uncertainty at meeting a human and being so close to one of them. She knew well that humans could be vile creatures, but, like everything else, they had their good examples of their kind--even if those good examples couldn't stop the others from pollution the world Shaymin tried so hard to keep fertile.
This girl looked like a good example. Her hand was on the pendant strung around her neck, fascination and amazment blazing across her face in a glow. The Pokemon she had with her seemed to like her as well--more proof that maybe this girl was someone to be trusted. Taking a leap of faith on her instincts, Shaymin stepped closer to the girl and nuzzled at her ankles as if to make sure she had the human's attention.
"Yes ma'am, I'm the Titan of this shrine. Is there something I could help you with? Anything you need?" Shaymin's voice was kind and sincere. Ever since Arceus had created the Legends and his prophecy, Shaymin never got the chance to help anyone anymore. She missed it, especially deeds done for the pure of heart. [/size] |

Celestre was finding it a bit difficult to regain her usual composure; it was a stunning thing, to encounter something of pure legend. Sure, they might be accepted to be real. It was another thing entirely to experience why they should be accepted as such. This was not helped by the touch of Shaymin on her ankle.
"Titan Shaymin. You are incredible." She murmured, standing up straighter and brushing off her clothing. "I do not come in search of anything from you. I visit all of the Shrines I hear of, seeking legends and tidbits of old lore. But never have I encountered the Titan to a shrine actually there."

Adventure awaited around every single corner, in every land and under the sea. Although, going under the sea was nigh impossible for this Bulbasaur. One, because he couldn't breathe underwater and two, a waterlogged bulb on a Bulbasaur ment back pains until you were a Venasaur. Curse being part plant...
Getting on this island, the fabled field of flowers said to hold the Temple of Gratitude, meant making a few promises Bulbasaur didn't plan to keep and tricking a Staravia into flying him here, a very batty one at that...
But, before his own two rose colored eyes, was a human and the small Titan, Shaymin. Laying in a patch of grass, he just watched the two talk and interact. Right now, he doubted his sanity and thought the flower's aroma were playing tricks with his mind.
