This was such a great chapter, Tesh! I really loved getting to read about Nia and Toby trying to get their real first lead into the earthquakes. I also really liked reading about the tense scene in the rain between Calder and Kern. I do wonder if the Girafarig that slipped away will show up again. I do have to wonder what they might be up to.

I also loved seeing Samir team up with Team Scarlet in this chapter. Toby internally noting how Nia attracts lonely people to her was such a cute touch. I thought the narration’s noting of the the town having so much rain to be quite interesting. Perhaps a Pokemon is using Rain Dance? On that note, Earthquake is a TM, and a large number of Pokemon can learn it, including Girafarig. I’m not sure on how TMs might factor into the world of Seekers of Soul, so I’ll just have to wait to see if any of my move theories might be have some truth to them.

Another part of this chapter I really loved was the worldbuilding. Toby being sensitive to contact with water due to being a Fire type is so interesting to me. Does he drink water at all, or does he only stay hydrated through hydration berries? I also loved the little detail of Deidra being more sensitive to the quakes since she is a Lopunny and thus has pretty good hearing. Nia having the wherewithal to get under the saloon was also such a good detail since I know some places in the our world have extensive earthquake education. That makes me think that Nia must have lived somewhere near an earthquake fault, or at least learned about it at some point.

I think you’ve done such a great job expanding the world of Seekers of Soul, especially when it comes to the mythos and geography. The towns and locations visited so far feel very lived in. The Xylem Guild is a cozy community of Seekers, Ghatha is a lively city of colorful stone, and Asra is a desert mining town that comes alive at night after the day’s work is done.

Finally, I want to say I loved seeing more of Toby’s softer side this chapter. It was especially clear when he absorbed the Oricorio’s words, letting them take precedent for a moment over his need to find information about Team Zenith. He’s really come such a long way. Nia too, she would have never have gathered the courage to chase after Samir in the rain after an earthquake at the start of the story. You’ve done such a great job with their character development. I’m so excited to see where their adventures lead them next, with the matter of Giratina hanging over their heads and all. There’s also the matter of Will. At this point, I do not trust him and going by an animation you posted a few years ago, he’s definitely connected to Giratina in some way. Either way, I’m looking forward to seeing what Nia, Tobias, and Samir find in the mines next time.

#928.5 - Smoliv are cowardly Pokémon that prefer dry, sunny climates. They spend much of their time sunbathing, converting the nutrients they gather through photosynthesis into oil that they store in the fruit on their head; as a result of this process, they can go for a week without eating or drinking. The oil itself has a very strong bitter taste and is not suitable for consumption. Instead, Smoliv will shoot this oil out when startled or attacked, slowing their opponents down so that they can escape. As these Pokémon age and mature, their oil will begin to acquire a fresh and pleasing taste.

#929.5 - Dolliv are calm and friendly Pokémon that have coexisted with humans since ancient times, living among settlements and sharing their tasteful, fresh-scented oil. They enjoy basking in the sunlight until the fruit on their head ripens, turning dark, at which point Dolliv will leave the settlements and go off on their own journeys. A maturing Dolliv will begin to grow more fruit along their lengthening arms; their compassionate disposition leads them to share the delicious, nutrient-rich oil they produce with weakened Pokémon. However, to keep enemies at bay, fully evolved Dolliv, known as Arboliva, are capable of launching this oil with enough force to smash a boulder.
