The way Lily was forced to eat when she was young became implanted into her mind. It made a dinner with ‘friends’ slightly awkward because most people did not know how to act around her because she ate much like a delicate flower. Her parents grew up in a high class of people and insisted that she have manners that fit their class while the little blonde just wanted to… well to be normal. Did her parents care? No. Did they express any interest in her? No… did they even care when their only child said she was going to leave and become a pokemon trainer? No, of course they didn’t care. 

Her Nidorina reached out and gently touched her trainers arm as if to communicate that she understood her trainer was suddenly feeling down. “Nid…” She said softly giving her trainer a few pats before she returned to her food. 

Lily gave her pokemon a gentle smile and a nod before looking back at him as she watched him with her bright green eyes. He was a bit quiet but maybe he was just shy. That’s okay; Lily was loud enough for the two of them; that’s for sure. But despite his quiet and a bit shy, he seemed like he was enjoying talking to her. When he said he was from Pallet and had worked alongside Professor Oak for a few years she spit out her drink in shock. She was lucky enough to turn her head just in time and spit all over the ground. Her hand instantly went to her mouth and her face turned bright red with embarrassment as she stared down the water. 

Her green gaze slowly turned back to look at him, despite the fact that she wanted to crawl into a hole and die. “Sorry.” She said softly behind her hand before taking up her napkin and cleaning off her full lips. “That wasn’t something I was expecting. That is incredible!” Her voice was a lot higher than she had meant it to be, probably because she was still embarrassed for spitting out her water in surprise. Leaning over the table she observed his pokedex with the utmost interest.

“That’s really really neat!” Sliding back into her seat, she reached into her back pocket and pull out a book. “I have the latest edition of the book that Professor Oak put together.  It’s been helpful but flipping through the pages has lost me quite a few pokemon because I was trying to find out what they were.” A small chuckle left her as her face finally calmed down. Slipping the book back into her pocket she looked over at the Jigglypuff who was enjoying the pupping before gazing down at the resting Ivysaur, “Was she your starter?”
