Thankfully Leisy’s two bird Pokemon had behaved themselves during their trip out of the Pokemon Center. There was one close call related to a table and vase, but luckily Leisy was able to scoop up Naunet before she smacked into said table, which is why Leisy was now carrying both Pokemon on her person.

[color=gray]”I’m fine,”[/color] Leisy said, panting slightly as she continued down the road. Her Pokemon looked at her dubiously, Naunet struggling and Bidein ready to take off from her shoulder, but Leisy shook her head. [color=gray]”Really, I am. Just—hah—tell me where you want to go—hah.”[/color]

Naunet quickly pointed to the first store she saw, which happened to be a bar. [color=gray]”I’m vetoing that, Naunet,”[/color] Leisy said, huffing as she continued dragging her feet forwards. When her stomach gurgled again, Leisy gave up and headed for the cafe she’d been to earlier that day. [color=gray]”Hope they don’t mind repeat customers,”[/color] Leisy huffed.

Bellies now full, Leisy and her pair of Pokemon exited the Spinda-ful Berries Cafe. [color=gray]”Alright, where to now?”[/color] Leisy asked, looking down at her Pokemon. [color=gray]”Surely not back to bed already?”[/color]

Spotting the Pokemart she’d visited earlier, Leisy was reminded that she’d used her spare Pokeball.

[color=gray]”Alright, you two. How about a trip to the Pokemart? I can get you two some fresh berries?”[/color] Leisy said, adding a little extra incentive in. Bidein flapped his wings excitedly while Naunet chirped in agreement. [color=gray]”To the Pokemart it is,”[/color] Leisy said, grinning at her Pokemon. Her journey would never be uneventful with these two at her side.

After a (quite) a bit of freaking out, Cillian finally remembered that he had a GPS-connected map on his Pokedex, slapping his forehead when he did. [color=lightsteelblue]”Oh my god,”[/color] the white-haired boy said, pulling out his blue-on-white device. [color=lightsteelblue]”I’m so stupid.”[/color]

“Char,” his Charmander said in agreement. Cillian shot the fiery lizard a glare. 

[color=lightsteelblue]”Is that all you know how to say?”[/color] he asked the Pokemon as he flipped open the Pokedex. He scrolled through the menu to the map function, looking around at his surroundings as he did. [color=lightsteelblue]”I think we need to go… This way. Yep, this way.”[/color]

So off the dysfunctional pair went, trooping through the forest. As they did, Cillian watched his surroundings carefully, noting the greater amount of life inside the trees. [i]Am I somehow less dangerous now that I have a Pokemon?[/i] he thought, frowning. [i]Well boy are they going to be surprised.[/i]

Spotting a dozing Caterpie among the bushes, Cillian swerved towards it, pointing it out to his Charmander. [color=lightsteelblue]”Training task number one, Charmander,”[/color] he said, looking at his Pokemon intensely, [color=lightsteelblue]”sneak over there and launch a surprise attack against that Caterpie.”[/color]

“Char!” the Charmander said, grinning as he ran towards the Caterpie. “Char, char!” Cillian didn’t even recover fast enough to shout at his Pokemon before the Caterpie had disappeared beneath the bushes. 

[color=lightsteelblue]”Looks like we have a lot to work on,”[/color] he said, walking over to his Pokemon who was currently looking under the bush, trying to find his playmate. [color=lightsteelblue]”C’mon, Charmander. Let’s go,”[/color] Cillian said, waving his Pokemon away from the bush. The Charmander launched itself at its trainer with a joyful cry.

“Char!”
