A large dog Pokemon stepped out of the bushes, the tufts of fur on its cheeks trailing longer than its body. Raising her Pokedex, Leisy realized that she recognized the final evolution of Lillipup—Stoutland. Her grandfather had owned one of the loyal dogs, and she’d often sat next to it on the porch when she was younger, threading her fingers through the dog’s rough hairs that spoke of experience and wisdom rather than softness. 

The Stoutland that emerged from the bush spared the two trainers a glance before tilting its head, its tufts of whiskers gracefully drifting in the same direction as the Pokemon’s head. The pack of Lillipup perked their ears at the Pokemon’s motion, swiveling and pouncing after the Stoutland as it walked onwards across the road to the bushes on the other side.

Leisy looked down at her Pokemon, realizing that neither had made much of a motion. Naunet was clinging to her leg, keeping a nervous eye on the puppy Pokemon as they left. Bidein, on the other hand, had closed his eyes and continued dozing.  [color=gray]”It would have been nice if you told me the Lillipup weren’t actually attacking,”[/color] Leisy said, giving the robin an affectionate scratch under its chin before looking to Raven. [color=gray]”Mmk then, let’s move on?”[/color]

Cillian’s eyes widened at the offer. A joint Gym leadership? Sure he’d heard of such things—there was a gym in the Unova region run by a set of triplets, so it wasn’t impossible—but something like that had never occurred to Cillian before. Leading a gym? He didn’t even have half a team of Pokemon, much less a full team! But, the more Cillian thought about it, the more he realized that he really wasn’t prepared for the future. There was so much uncertainty in his future, so much that had yet to be outlined and decided.

[color=lightsteelblue]”I can’t say anything for sure right now,”[/color] Cillian said at last, looking at his Pokemon flatly. Hazmat gave him the usual clueless grin while the Mudkip returned the stare as if asking him why he was staring at his Pokemon like that in the first place. Recovering himself slightly, Cillian slapped on a smile and looked up to meet Damian’s stare. [color=lightsteelblue]”But, thank you for the offer. Maybe I’ll be able to make a decision in the future, but for right now,”[/color] Cillian said, a real grin on his face now, [color=lightsteelblue]”I just want to be the best Pokemon trainer I can be.”[/color]
