Leisy’s nap was interrupted by a hungry stomach—three, actually.

[color=gray]”Hm?”[/color] Leisy asked, sitting up and wiping her eyes blearily. Her Pokemon looked at her expectantly, Bidein hopping back and forth on the sheets and Naunet patting her stomach woefully. [color=gray]”Oh,”[/color] the girl said as her own stomach made a gurgling protest as well. [color=gray]”Well alright. Why don’t we get something to eat then?”[/color]

Leisy threw on some clothes and slipped on her shoes, walking over to the door before looking back at her Pokemon. Was it polite to have two Pokemon out and about in the halls at such a late hour?

[color=gray]”If we’re going to go outside, you two have to promise to be quiet, okay?”[/color] Leisy asked, putting a finger to her lips. Naunet nodded profusely, and Bidein fluffed his feathers out before jumping onto Leisy’s shoulder and settling down. Leisy looked to her Piplup as if to ask whether Naunet wanted equal treatment, but the Piplup just walked over and patted the door.

[color=gray]”Alright then,”[/color] Leisy said, turning the handle. [color=gray]”Let’s go fill our stomachs—silently.”[/color]

Cillian was excited. The moon might be directly over his head and the sun nowhere to be seen,  but the white-haired boy was ecstatic to have caught his first Pokemon. 

[i]Now to get acquainted,[/i] he thought, withdrawing the Charmander’s Pokeball and pressing the button in the middle. [color=lightsteelblue]”Charmander!”[/color] Cillian shouted as the Pokemon flowed out from its Pokeball, and Cillian felt stupid. [i]So, shouting Pokemon names as you release them is a no,[/i] he thought, bending down to examine the Charmander.

At approximately two feet and twenty-or-so pounds, the orange lizard seemed to be healthy and happy, cocking its head at Cillian as he lifted the Pokemon to estimate its weight. [color=lightsteelblue]”around 15 pounds, probably more,”[/color] Cillian muttered to himself. 

Straightening, Cillian set his hands on his hips and looked at the orange lizard Pokemon. [color=lightsteelblue]”So, now that we have nowhere to sleep, I guess we’d better head back to town.”[/color]

“Char,” the Charmander said, which Cillian took to be agreement. 

[color=lightsteelblue]”Well then, off we go,”[/color] Cillian said, turning towards the direction he came from. He hesitated. [color=lightsteelblue]”Er, would you happen to know the way back to town?”[/color]

“Char,” the Charmander said in agreement.
