As Valerian was walking in search of a better Pokémon, he heard the sound of rustling leaves. He turned his head, just in time to catch a glimpse of a small, green creature peeking out from behind a patch of flowering bushes. She had a round body, stubby little legs, and a leafy sprout atop her head like a bow. Its big red eyes blinked up at him. And then, she smiled.
“A Petilil.” Valerian said aloud.
Aurelia Rose buzzed over to the little Grass-type with an eager chirp.
Valerian slowly stepped forward, eyeing the Pokémon. Unlike the Ducklett or the Sentret, this one had taste.
The Petilil tilted her head, then did a tiny spin. Her leaf bow wobbling as if it were curtsying.
Valerian blinked. “…Well,” he murmured. “At least one Pokémon in this park knows how to make an entrance.”
He crouched down, examining the Petilil more closely. “You’re not a Fairy type…” he mused aloud, “But you’re undeniably well composed, not to mention adorable!”
Aurelia Rose hovered between them, looking at Valerian expectantly.
Petilil gave a cheerful squeak and gently nudged Valerian’s shoe with her leafy head.
He raised a brow. “Affectionate and photogenic.” He straightened up. “I suppose it wouldn’t hurt to take on a second companion.” There was a dramatic pause. “But if you must travel with me, you’ll need a name that suits your aesthetic.”
Petilil looked up at him.
He tapped his chin. “Laureline? Amarantha? No… Let’s see how you battle first. I’ll not name you unless you earn it.”
Petilil perked up. Challenge accepted.
Aurelia Rose buzzed in delight, circling her new potential teammate.
Valerian lifted a hand, then pointed with an elegant flourish. “Aurelia Rose, let’s give our admirer a show. Use Fairy Wind!”
And so begins Valerian’s attempt at capturing a wild Petilil
