It was probably no coincidence that Frolic had always been quick to get in the middle of things. Rushing up from behind his trainer, and disrupting their conversation with a bright greeting. “Bre-loom!” The mushroom pokemon announced, with a smile and crimson claws held high. Causing Miles to turn around and notice that the young girl and her Skitty had already taken off. [i][color=82ca9d]Hmm. Kids these days never seem to slow down.[/color][/i] Miles noted in thought, while gently brushing away the hair that shrouded his face. Before watching the energetic raptor swiftly approach Conner and extend both of his claws out for ‘a firm handshake’. Though his friend wasn’t likely to forget that it was more akin to a challenge⁠—given how hyper competitive Frolic seemed to be in Conner’s presence. However, Miles soon interrupted Frolic with an answer, while simultaneously returning the Breloom back into his pokeball. 

[color=82ca9d]“We can talk more, up on the hill.”[/color] Miles replied in a playful tone. As he began to dash across the grassy field—racing toward the park benches where he had laid his bike. [color=82ca9d]“First one to the top, gets to be on the tree swing!”[/color] He called out to him. With no surprises to where his two pokemon got their competitive spirit. As the young athlete managed to run alongside with his bike⁠—and still impress a few bystanders with how fast his legs could carry him. Giving his surfing buddy a chance to spot something bright red, out from the corner of his eye. But the source of it would disappear too quickly from his sight, for him to know what it really was. So it was easy to mistake the sudden light for something else.

At least until both of them saw it together...

There were no proper words for Miles to describe how beautiful the scenery was to look at from this height. Even if the peace and quiet had gotten a little awkward between them, as Miles hadn’t spoken a word since the two of them were left alone. After already letting his two pokemon outside to enjoy the view too—and his ‘wingman’ [url=https://img.pokemondb.net/artwork/large/heracross.jpg]Paragon[/url] had assertively escorted Frolic away from the large pink tree. Keeping the anxious Breloom sitting on top of his shell, as the Heracross did some push-ups. 

[color=82ca9d]“I um-”[/color] Miles started out, with a short pause to reconsider his words. Sounding far less upbeat than he tended to be in this situation. [color=82ca9d]“This might sound like a weird question but...do you have anybody that you like?”[/color] Miles asked, while watching a school of [url=https://cdn2.bulbagarden.net/upload/0/02/129Magikarp.png]Magikarp[/url] jumping in and out of the calm waters below. Before Miles looked over to Conner and smiled casually in response to his friend’s initial reaction. Trying to make himself seem merely curious, as he prepared for what he anticipated to hear.
