When Milton took on the appearance of a Sharpedo, the group decided to play along, pretending it was an actual Sharpedo while remembering it was just Milton. The group was giggling as they swam away from the ferocious shark, everyone seemed so happy. Then Lulu just stopped, looking up at the bridge. The Mawile had disappeared from view. Even though she was still young, and not as adept at reading aura as her dad, she could feel the shift up there. Where there was joy and heart suddenly was replaced by sadness, loss, darkness. Was it... Milton's joke about Monster Houses? That being said, it was rare way out here to find an explorer or traveling Pokemon without a partner. Maybe something happened...

She was quickly snapped out of her thought as the Sharpedo Milton swam by, splashing her head with a tiny wave. [color=0072bc]"Oh, you did NOT just do that! You're gonna get it now Milton, hahahaha!"[/color] Lulu quickly shifted her focus to their game, as she took off after the Sharpedo Milton.

After thanking Takeo for helping and paying him for the Apples, he stood inside the room where they had left the sleeping Luxray they had hefted here. Scanning her aura one last time, he saw it slowly brightening. [color=004b80]"Hm, good, this is just what she needed. I'd better go check on Milton and Zaru, see how their chores are doing."[/color] He left the room, and started walking down the hallway when he noticed something. The kid's room door was closed, he didn't recall closing it... He investigated to find Rico still fast asleep in bed, but Lulu nowhere to be seen. [color=004b80]"Well... did I expect any less from that girl?"[/color] He said to himself as he gave a slight smirk before heading downstairs and out towards the Center Plaza.

When he got there, he didn't see any sign of Milton or Zaru. That means they were either still working or... he heard laughter, carried on the wind. He made his way over to the bridge that connected both sides of the Village over the river, and found... kids. Lulu, her friends from the village, Devon the Totodile, and Milton, disguised as a Sharpedo. He sensed two others, but the feelings he felt told him to keep his mind to himself for now. He wouldn't inturrupt the others, either. They were still kids after all, they deserved to have fun like this.

After the Chimchar, Zaru, finished his juice, he asked if there was anything else he could do for her. Well, she couldn't quite think of anything she couldn't do herself. [color=1a7b30]"No, I can't think of anything else you could do for me right now, and you did a wonderful job harvesting those herbs. I'll have Roselia help me tomorrow to plant a new batch when she gets back. I'll make sure to pass on word of how good you did to Spirit, now go on. It's a beautiful day, go have some fun. You're still a kid after all, enjoy it while it lasts!"[/color]
