The Boldore shutters and stumbles as it takes the onslaught. It makes a few wobbling motions before falling forward unconscious. A few crystals fall off of it's body.
1x red shard. exp gain 810
Alexia sighs, relieved that no one was badly hurt. She looks to Star, "You have quite the young one on your hands."

Star smiled warmly at Alexia and quietly watched the fight wrap up. It seemed Jioni had overcome the Boldore without much in the way of danger, and she was happy to see they had already gotten off to a good start. She nodded quietly even as Kindness relaxed from watching the fight. A few quiet steps forward to check on the Boldore and make sure it would be okay before she stood up and returned to Alexia's side.
"A bit of rest and it should be okay." She announced loudly for Jioni's benefit before turning to Alexia with a smile and speaking a bit more softly. "He was always a child that was eager to help others, that hasn't changed. He takes after his parents, I'm sure we'll see great things from him in this contest. I couldn't be prouder of him." Whether Jioni heard her or not was up to the gods as she wasn't actively trying to prevent him from hearing her as she continued to look around curiously.
Even as she looked she noticed the stone her Petilil held was glowing with the power of the sun, she knew Kindness had been almost ready for awhile now but it seemed preparing herself for combat was exactly what she needed to push her over the edge. A pulse of light erupted from the Petilil as she nearly doubled in size and weight. When the light cleared she seemed to examine herself carefully before chiming out a happy 'Gant!' and hugging Stars leg. The dust from the stone faded as Star warmly hugged Kindness. "Good job dear". The newly formed Lilligant seemed to reach up into its crown and pluck an herb proudly handing it to Star who calmly placed it in one of her pouches as she stood up, obviously proud of her Lilligant.

As the Boldore slumps over into dreamless oblivion, Jioni gives a cheer and congratulates his Pokemon, pulling her into a fierce hug. Eyeing a particular red crystal that had dislodge itself from the main body, he strode next to the unconscious Pokemon and bent to pick up the object. He turned it over in his hands a couple times, examining it. He''d seen one of these before, he didn't study crystals heavily but he knew enough to know that this particular Shard was attuned to the energies of the Fairy, Fire, and Psychic elements. He supposed his studying had done him well.
He strode over to his other mother with a grin on his face, fae following him and shard in hand, a grin nor unlike the one he'd sported all his childhood anytime he'd done or found something that instilled pride in him. The way he spoke to her was also not unlike how he'd done ten years prior.
"Mom! Look what I got! Thanks for letting me handle that, I like knowing that I can handle myself. Who knows, I might actually have a chance at being Champion! I mean, I know either of you would have jumped to save me if things had gone bad, but I feel great now! If I can't do anything else right I always knew I could fight. Mother and Father would be proud!"
Almost as suddenly as he'd finished speaking Kindness transformed! He watched the process enraptured, excitement filling him as it happened. Once her form had settle her burst out in elation.
"Good job Kindness! That was so cool! I'm so proud of you! I don't know Mom, you might end up being a competitor now if you keep training like this!"
He laughed, he was feeling really good right now. It was nice how they'd both had their own victories so early in their journey. Maybe it foretold future fortune.
Then he remembered something relating to both Antheia and Kindness.
"Mom, I got something for Kindness too! Antheia,Empower Kindness."
The nymph floated around the newly-evolved Grass-type, the red petals of the flower it resided on began to glow as pink pollen-like dust flows from its centre. As she circles Kindness, the dust settles on the crown and body of the Lilligant.
Some could look at the event and see it as a princess congratulating another on becoming a queen.
Flower Power activated: Kindness has +1 to all Skill Checks for the rest of the day unless she expends the Power for +2 to either of a Save Check or an Accuracy Roll with a Grass-Move.

Alexia Watched the two, it made her a bit envious that she had never been closer to her parents as Jioni was to Star. NO she was mostly regulated to the training grounds for her days, or learning the manners of court and history of the land. She sighed lamenting her lost childhood before shaking her head and putting on her strong face again. She didn't wish to worry her companions, not after they had a joyous occasion of victory against the odd rock creature.
"You did very well," she said trying her best to be supportive, "Honestly I was slightly worried that it would be more aggressive or have reinforcements somewhere."

"Thank you Jioni and you as well Antheia, but Kindness looks a little weary from evolving. I'm going to let her rest for a bit and bring Hope back out. I do believe we may be a bit more active in the next fight, Hope seems on the cusp of a new skill as well."
Quietly Star withdrew her new Lilligant and released her Miltank with a hum, the point was to get experience and limiting it to only one Pokemon wouldn't work. She pat the Miltank quietly on the head and rubbed her horns tenderly before she moved back to Alexia and wrapped her hand tenderly around Alexia's elbow with a warm smile and a non-judgemental gaze. The Miltank seemed raring to go, the only one of Star's Pokemon that seemed to approach combat more hands on.
"Shall we head deeper and see if we can find something a bit more challenging? Can't let Jioni have all the fun now can we?"
Star chimed teasingly as she kept her eyes open and headed in the direction she believed was across the floor and towards the Stairs down. She had heard stories about how to go further down but as she had never actually been in these ruins she wasn't sure how much was true or false.

Jioni turned to Alexia with a smile.
"Thank you Lady Alexia, commendation from a senior knight. I'll be back."
Jioni again switches out Antheia for Donnachaidh, ordering the wolf to summon its lights and send all three six meters forward again. He had the Pokemon scout the area.
He turned to his aunt, smiling.
"You are most welcome Aunt Star, but you're right let's see what else are in these caves."

AS the group continued to move along Jioni spots flashes of light from up ahead. It would seem a battle is going on between someone and some of the wild Pokemon here.
Jioni: As you look ahead you see a man dressed in blue directing a Star shaped Pokemon as it dodges around a golem-like Pokemon spraying it down with concussive water blasts. there appear to be others already knocked down in the area as well.

As Jioni continues walking, Don again barks to alert him of possible threats. As he nears he sees the man doing battle with the other Pokemon. He carefully steps closer as he activates his guide to identify the Pokemon ahead of him.

It's obvious Star doesn't notice anything out of the ordinary as she stays comfortably on Alexia's arm with a soft smile as they follow after Jioni. Star is rather intrigued on going lower, wondering if there really are Lapras down here. She also has to admit a curiosity to see deeper in the ruins, something she's never heard of anyone accomplishing before. That said she did hope the ruins were structurally sound or this could go bad fast. It should be okay though... hopefully.
Hope walked at her side obviously protective of her trainer, squinting around with her little cow eyes at anything that came close.

The guide identified the Pokemon as Starmie, and Golet. The man himself seems unfazed by the small barks from Don as the Starmie blasts another of the golems with a jet of water. The Starmie itself seems to be inside a perpetual ball of water that appears to be enhancing it's attacks somehow.

Jioni approaches evermore.
"I would ask if you need help but you seem to be doing just fine on your own."

Star quietly raised a brow, sharing a glance with Hope. She had taught Jioni better about approaching strangers, and sighed softly. He always was an outgoing boy. Hopefully he wouldn't distract the man from his own training. Albeit she didn't recognize him from the champion meeting, perhaps just a knight getting in practice? Only time would tell it seems.

The man sighed audibly as Jioni approached, "Still a few seconds to slow..." He turned to regard Jioni, a crystal rose of rainbow colors pinned on his shirt. "as for help I don't really need it as you can see, I was hopeful these rocks would provide some good training, but they've just left me wondering on my choice of attacks." Looking up he spots the others behind you, "Ah there you are Kar...no wait, no you just have a similar build. My apologies madam, the light here isn't the best." He looks down to the Starmie with a bit of a scowl as the Pokemon takes the subtle hint and illuminates the immediate area with a glow from it's center gem. "Much better."

Star seemed a little confused at the lack of light, but judging by the additional brightness she just hoped the man had a good set of glasses. It seems that his vision was less then ideal, a trait she was lucky not to have. A warm smile at the man as she nodded politely to his words, looking around at the downed 'rocks'. "My, you must be strong and you bear such a lovely rose. If it helps, From the rumors I've heard the deeper in the ruins you go the stronger the pokemon, so if the first floor isn't much of a challenge you may wish to proceed downwards. Albeit I haven't heard from anyone whose gone beyond the second floor so i'd imagine it's quite a challenge. Should you go further please be careful though yes? I don't like to see people hurt."
Star flashed him one of her charming smiles as she stayed on Alexia's arm in an escorted stance of a lady with a knight. That said despite him being a stranger in a strange area she was as polite and warm-spoken as she usually was. He certainly seemed polite enough. "Ah, forgive my manners. My name is Star, my companions are Alexia and Jioni. I do hope your training whether you find it here or elsewhere pans out, it looks like your Starmie is quite a hard worker either way. You must be proud."

The man looks down noting the rose you spoke of, "A yes, this is just something I have to carry around." His cheeks redden a bit at the charming smile but he remains firm in his stance specifically. "Actually I'm hoping to not be waiting for someone as they should be waiting for me. And yes it is true that the further down the stronger the beasts are, finding the ways down get easier the deeper you go, just follow the cold. IT would seem the lower levels are frozen over by some strange power dwelling deeper in the cave. MY partner was supposed to meet me near the stairs to the second floor."
The Starmie beams with the praise, it's obvious it doesn't get that often by the joy it shows in it's pantomime.

"Interesting indeed. I was planning on staying on this floor a bit longer as I'd heard that i could find a Carbink here and I'm very interested to do so. What is your name by the way sir, am Jioni Nafasi."
He holds out his hand to shake.

Star resisted the urge to frown at the lack of a name but the only way one would notice is the slight strain on her smile, though she fixed that by turning her gaze to the Starmie. It really was a strong little thing, it's owner had at least raised it well albeit it seemed a little starved for affection. The information was also very useful and for that she beamed a bit brighter, bringing her spare hand up to tap at her chin almost playfully as she considered his words before giving a nod.
"That at least explains why I've heard rumors of Lapras below. We'll have to be careful to watch out for getting sick or frostbite, but I didn't expect a high probability of Ice Types here. How exciting, I wonder what causes it. Thank you for that information"

The man regards Jioni's hand and looks to him, "Excuse me but, I'm not really a touchy person as my partner. My name is Acestes Colven, I'm a priest traveling to study the strange going-ons in the lands. My companions do the same in their own ways and we try to change things for the better with our knowledge." He nodded regarding Star's question and thanks, "A powerful beast or artifact one would surmise, though either would be a boon if tamed and or acquired."
