Lily’s gaze fell onto the Ivysaur lying leisurely in the sun. She really seemed to be enjoying herself and the blonde couldn’t argue with the relaxed demeanor of the pokemon. At his story she kept quiet nodding along very once and a while to show she was listening. 

Like everyone else, they both had their staring choices between the three pokemon and she chose a Squirtle. Her Squirtle was male and didn’t really have a preference to fighting; his personality style was that fighting was ‘too cool’ for him so he would basically ignore most of the pokemon on the field until they hit him, then he was ferocious. Why something that lazy would have such a strong reaction was beyond her but it had won her many battles and stood up to Brock’s Onyx without flinching. Crazy thing.

“That’s wonderful that she’s been so useful and at second form already. That shows you’re quite the trainer.” Though this time when she spoke, her voice was much softer as if not wanting to disturbed the relaxing pokemon. Her green gaze moved back to him as she shot him a bright smile. “It takes a good trainer to get a pokemon to their second form. Time, dedication and trust; just to name a few; well done.” 

When he tone suddenly changed, speaking a lot softer than she had heard from him, her gaze shot up from her plate. “I…” She was a bit surprised by his question and his change of tone that it actually caused her to speak in a softer manner t to him, almost as if she was shy to admit it. “I want to work with pokemon, It’s not so much about catching all of them as it is learning about them so I can help them.”  A nod rose and fell her head, “I hope one day to work at a pokemon center or as a pokemon breeder. And I won’t apply for any jobs or attempt to start to become a breeder until I at least know everyone pokemon out there and some details about them… I have, quite a ways to go.” She admitted with a small sigh. 

Her sigh was cut short by him opening his Pokedex which she gazed at curiosity. She even found herself leaning forward a bit, questioning what he was doing. That was… until the flash went off! The light wasn’t bright considering it was a sun shining day but it was enough to pull her back into her seat, from which she had rose out of, to sitting back down and blinking a few times. “What… what was that?” She asked, giving her head a quick shake before tilting it to one side looking completely confused.
