Spirit was taken aback by the sudden display of emotion by Tzerah, as long as he'd known here he'd never seen her like this. Then again, he thought of her position right now. Her instincts telling her she had to do everything to protect her pride, her child... He'd nearly been the same way last night with Rico and Lulu. No matter how many people said otherwise, being a parent is the hardest thing you'll ever do in life. He gently embraced the exhausted Luxray, petting her gently on the back.

He quickly scanned her aura, it was very pale compared to her usual color. She'd been working and worrying far too much for her own good. [color=004b80]"It's okay, just rest now, that's the best thing you can do for us and yourself."[/color] He looked over towards the kitchen once more. [color=004b80]"Takeo, make those apples to go, and think you could give me a hand helping her to the Guild?"[/color]

In just a few minutes the twosome were across town, heading to their little hideout where they would hang out and play. Lulu, as usual, took the lead, and soon they were in the home stretch. As they came to their little quiet corner of the world, they were greeted by three more Pokemon: A Chikorita, a Vulpix, and a Pikachu. The Pikachu came forward first. [color=fff200]"Lulu, boy are we glad to see you're okay!"[/color] The Vulpix smirked at the remark. [color=f7941d]"I had no doubts, you can't keep Lulu down If you tried."[/color] Then came the Chikorita. [color=8dc73f]"To think we thought we'd have to spend a day without her, the mere thought!"[/color]

Lulu addressed them in order of which they spoke. [color=0072bc]"Peach, Flare, Lyla, you three are the best. So are you Krissy. So, what do we have planned for today? I'm guessing dad's going to let me and Rico have the rest of the day off anyways, so we've got lots of time to play!"[/color] The group chit chatted amongst themselves for a while, trying to figure out what they could do for fun that day.

Hearing the call of a Pokemon, Roserade hurried to the front door. [color=39b54a]"Ah, you're that boy Spirit said would help me today correct? Well then come in, come in. I usually have my daughter help me with this, but she had to head to Treasure Town on business."[/color] She opened up the back door, which led into a massive garden. [color=39b54a]"You see, I grow helpful and medicinal herbs in this garden, which I give out to weary travelers or sell to Kecleon, who in turn sells them to Pokemon who want them. My grandmother did this, and my mother took after her. And I ended up taking after my mother. Hopefully Roselia continues the tradition, but I don't know anymore... that girl has dreams of her own, crazy dreams, but that's good to have... I'm rambling aren't I? I'm sorry, I'm sure you'd like to get to work, so start on the far left side, I'll start on the right. We're harvesting today's crop. If it works out, I'll meet you in the middle."[/color]
