“Mom and dad did a lot of the cooking when we were younger, but our older brother and sister do most of the cooking now,” Hunter answered, “And I do most of the cooking for me and Alice now that we’re travelling.”

Alice was fishing out her phone, “Here, put your phone number in. I’ll text you Hunter’s number so you can have both of our names in your phone.”

“Alright,”She said, taking Alice’s phone. She quickly typed in her name and number before handing it back. 

“I love cooking,”She said,”But most of all I love eating what I cook! If you’re traveling, then that means you have to cook over a campfire right? How much different is it than stove top cooking?”

        “With Haku, it’s having too much energy.” Madoka scoops up the ball and tosses it back, initiating a round of ‘catch’ between them. It’ll be easier to camp tonight if she’s exhausted.

         “There are more things to do than collect badges. You could go for contest ribbons!” He proposes this as a half-joke: equating the badges to ribbons, pretending they’re the same thing with a repaint. “Or you can fill a Pokedex, pick up photography with a Rotom Phone… What’ll be most memorable and unique is that you’re the one on the adventure. Right?”

“I guess?” She just doesn’t want to be labeled as the worst child if she actually tries at something. But maybe if that thing that she tries at is different from what her sister did, then it won’t be that much of a concern?

She watched the two play catch. She did love pokemon after all, and wanted to have a close bond with one or two, maybe she should try...”Contests? I know there are some in Johto, but they aren’t that big of a deal. Do you know any more about them?”

         She was kind.

         Most people who saw Hinata in this state would force her to move. They would pick her up by her arms, dragging her to her feet, and escort her forcefully. Claiming it was for her own good or that she could walk it off. They didn’t understand that Hinata wanted to walk it off, but simply couldn’t.

         So to hear someone understand, even if they were a human, was reassuring.

      “My legs feel like jelly.” Hinata admitted. It was why she didn’t think she could stand up and accept help, even if she was beginning to trust Solique. “But you’re right. I need to find another way… I just don’t think I can stand up yet. So thank you, but…”

         Solique would have to wait. For a stranger. And no human would do that. None except Madoka.

Solique looked back out to the crowd. It seemed as busy as it was before she came to check on the girl. A shame, but even if she went back out there now, she wouldn’t have a chance to see who was causing such a stir. But it worked out for the best because now there was no reason for her to leave. She settled into a more comfortable position. 

“It’s fine. Take all the time that you need. I don’t have anywhere to be,”Solique assured. She didn’t really get why they couldn’t go now, but she wasn’t going to force the issue. She didn’t feel comfortable leaving someone who was clearly struggling to fend for themselves in an alleyway.

“Again, if I’m bothering you or anything, just say the word, and I’m gone. But if I’m not...Well, maybe we can distract your legs? By like....Oh! What kind of things do you like?” Talking about her interests always made her feel more comfortable at least.

      “I don’t think that you’re ever too old to enjoy an adventure.” Madoka assured her. He had been older than most of the other trial goers when he finally got himself to do it. As a result, he had a different kind of fun than the others.

      “You can make any day your starting point for something new, you know? Have you considered a journey of your own?”

         As he was engaged in the conversation, Haku felt ignored. So she hit the ball with her tail, and in turn tried to whack Madoka. Her trainer’s quick idol reflexes kicked in and he blocked the ball with his hand. “Oh dear. And here I thought I’d succeeded in tiring her out…”

“I mean maybe...” She still wasn’t sure there was much point her going on an adventure. What if it wasn’t fun? The only problem with an amazing and successful older sister, is that there’s a good chance you’ll disappoint the people around you if you try anything similar.

“I’ve considered it, yeah...My parents would probably love it if I went too...I don’t know if I’d want to get badges though. That seems stressful. And I’m not really sure what else there is.” She explained. “Maybe I’ll look into oth-pft!” She laughed at Haku’s antics,”Nice save! Maybe she needs more playing with since she’s a big pokemon? Do big pokemon have more energy or less than smaller pokemon...I can never remember.”

    “Lucky! Brionne are charming, aren’t they?” He paused the topic of the Popplio line when she explained her situation. It was nostalgic to hear: Madoka still remembered his first solo trip and how nerve raking it was. He had been fortunate to have Alolan friendliness to push him along.

      “Yes, born and raised there.” He answered proudly, amused by her enthusiasm, “You know how most regions do gym challenges, with gym leaders? In Alola, we have island trials and trial captain. The community comes together to create a memorial experience for young trainers. It’s really fun!”

“They really are! So cute! Even if the one I met hit me with a misplaced Bubble attack,”Solique laughed.

“That’s cool, I bet it was a gorgeous place to grow up in!” Solique listened to his explanation of the Island Challenge,”Oh that is awesome! It makes me wish I had a memorable journey like that when I was younger!” She had the chance, but she didn’t take it.

    “HEEK!” Hinata bolted upright, palms slamming to the ground as she was ready to rocket to her feet. Before she could try running, her eyes locked on the sight of Solique.

       A human… With a concerned expression. They were on eye level, too. Not a threat… Or at least, not trying to appear threatening. Hinata mumble incoherently for a second, battling with her trust– then whimpered.

    “I-I’m… I’m not good with crowds.” She managed to say, “So… I’m hiding until that one goes away… Are you hiding too?”

“Uhm....nope!” She debated lying for a moment, but decided against it,”I actually like the hustle and bustle. “I just saw a really nervous girl duck into an alleyway, and decided to make sure she was alright.” She looked over at the crowd on the street, before turning back to the girl,”I’m not sure they’re going to go away anytime soon...They’re watching something after all. Maybe it would be better if you found another way to get around? I would say try to push through, but I’m guessing that didn’t work.”

“I’ve been to this city before though. If you want, I can try and help you find a different way. Hopefully, with no more street performers.” She laughed, to try and shake the awkwardness she herself was feeling. “I won’t make you though. All you have to do is say you want me to leave, and I’m gone. No worries.”

“Oh, where to even start?” Alice said, “Crepes, ratatouille, macaron. Everything Kalosian is so rich and decadent. If you came up that way, we should hook up and we can show you some of our favorite spots.”

“Mom grew up in Kanto, I think, so she loves Kantonese, Johtoan, Sinnohan, all that area food.” Hunter said, “She cooks a little bit of it at home, but she always says it’s nothing like eating it right in the region.”

“Those all sound good,”Solique said,”We should definitely hook up if I ever head that way. I bet your favorite spots have great food!” “Oh? Maybe you two can take your mom here one day then.”She figures they’ll love the food here as much as she does.”Is she a good cook? My mom’s an okay cook, but usually dad or I do the cooking.”

    “Yes, actually. She’s a Primarina. They’re one of the traditional starter Pokemon for Alola’s Island Challenge.” Madoka explained, glancing briefly at his Pokemon. Haku had recaptured the ball and then bunted it into the water, amusing herself with a game of fetch. “They evolve from Popplio. Have you seen one of those before? They’re the little blue seals.”

“I haven’t, but I have seen a...Brionne? before,”She said, also watching the Pokemon play with the ball. “Primarina and Brionne are pretty, so I’m guessing Popplio are too.”

“I’ve never really been away from home on my own before,”She explained,”So there are a lot of Pokemon I don’t know that well. Are you from Alola? What’s an Island Challenge?” She got more excited with everything she said.

open starter call | @sunnydaycoordinator​

         Hinata moved briskly through the streets. No eye contact, head down, avoiding crowds… If she was cautious, she could explore the city a little bit. And today it was especially important. Madoka had forgotten his umbrella and there was rain due in the evening.

           She had to be brave and save her big brother!

           Except that a gathering of rain clouds wasn’t the only thing crowding today. There was a crowd of people up ahead, forming a human wall around a street performer. Hinata knew that braving that crowd would result in her having a meltdown, so slipped into an alleyway. She dropped to the ground, umbrella at her side, and decided to wait until the performance ended.

          “… Why am I like this?” Hinata whispered, “Madoka needs me, and I’m just… hiding… Like a coward.”

             She folded her arms over her knees and sighed, “He fought Ultra Beasts to save me, but I can’t even walk through a crowd. I’m pathetic.”

[sunnydaycoordinator]

Solique was trying and failing at watching the street performance. The crowd was too thick, and she was too short to actually see most of what was going on. She saw a nervous girl duck into a nearby alley, and seeing as that was more interesting than watching the back of people’s heads, she decided to follow her to make sure she was ok.

“Are you ok?” Solique asked, kneeling down so that she wasn’t standing over her. She didn’t want to scare her further. “Do you need help in any way?”

A Lead

Over the week, Solique and Pichu have started getting used to each other. They started even hanging out together. Like Solique playing on her Switch while Pichu watched, and pawed at the moving parts. Solique set aside time to play with the Pichu with toys, and as a result Pichu stopped wrecking her room every night. Solique has even started trying to get Pichu to stay on her shoulder when she walks around with some success. Things have definitely been getting better.

Solique had almost forgotten that she was only watching Pichu temporarily. At least until she got a call from the PokeCenter giving her Professor Elm’s number, and saying that she needed to call him and set up an appointment because he wanted to check out the Pichu.

One more phone call and a few days later found Solique and Pichu leaving home. Pichu was in the carrier from before, and was waiting impatiently for Solique and her parents to say their goodbyes.

“And you’ve made a reservation at a hotel in Cherrygrove, right? Make sure to stay out of tall grass when you make your way to the lab,”Her dad said, hands on her shoulders. He was using his serious face, as he continued,”You can’t count on a Pokemon you haven’t caught to protect you. So it’s important that you’re careful.”

“I did, and I know,”Solique responded. The train was going to be here soon. She opened her mouth to remind them of this, when her mom spoke up.

“You know if you catch her, then you won’t have anything to worry about! The pokemon in that part of the region are pretty weak after all,”She held out a friend ball for Solique to take.

“Thanks, but we don’t even know if Pichu is wild, or what’s going on,”Solique reminded,”It wouldn’t be right if I caught her before we knew.”

“Fine fine, but at least take the ball with you,”Her mother coaxed,”Maybe you’ll find another nice Pokemon to catch? Or maybe Professor Elm will give you a starter!”

Solique took the ball, and shook off her dad’s hands,”Fine, I’ll bring it with me. But I really need to go now. I’m off!” 

“See you soon,”They both called out with a wave. She picked up Pichu’s carrier, and ran off to get to the train. Pichu whined in protest, but Solique couldn’t slow down. As it was they barely made it onto the train before the doors shut.

“You have a refined pallet, then!” Hunter nodded, sitting down, “I don’t trust someone who doesn’t have a range of tastes.”

“I’m so used to Kalosian food, or fusion food back home,” Alice started, looking the menu over, “That sometimes I forget about other regions’ foods. Gosh, I bet mom would adore this place.”

“You think?”Solique asked, looking over the menu. What should she order today? Soba sounded good to be honest. 

“Does your mom like Johtoan food? Come to think of it, I’ve never tried Kalosian food before. If I get the chance, is there anything I should try?”

Making Friends

“Hey...Little friend?”Solique tried calling out, she brought more food and water for the Pichu. The Pichu waited until she was up on the bed, before darting out to eat a little bit, she looked up at Solique to make sure she hadn’t moved, and then got a few laps of water before running back under the bed. Solique sighed. Her new roommate seemed to be incredibly nervous. She even had to move the food and water bowl closer to the bed to make sure she would eat. And yet, every morning Solique would find her room in a mess.

This couldn’t keep going on.

Solique had a bag of pokemon toys, and all the time in the world. She knelt down a few feet from the bed, and pulled out a feather toy. She waved it around a few times, getting the Pichu’s attention. Still, she stayed put under the bed. 

Solique tried every one of the toys she had bought. Eventually, she ran out, and resorted to cooing and wagging her finger. The Pichu still didn’t react. 

The next thing Solique knew was waking up to something sniffing her face, and a weight on her chest. She peeked at what was going on to see the baby pokemon on her, sniffing curiously. She smiled, and closed her eyes.

“Oh wow, what a cute little spot!”

“I hope a cute place like this doesn’t get terribly overwhelmed during the lunch rush, that’d be terrible for the servers.” Hunter pointed out a nearby table, “Do we seat ourselves?”

“Not really. It gets a little busier, but not a lot of people know about this place,”Solique said. She walked over to the table Hunter pointed out and sat down. “I just prefer it when it’s quiet for meals. It’s easier to hear each other.”

“All the food here’s really good by the way! And I’ve tried everything on the menu,”She bragged. With a giggle she added,”I eat here a lot.”

             Much to Madoka’s relief, his Pokemon did scamper off after the beach ball. He could hear her complaining the whole way, no doubt upset that her neatly placed toy was messing up the beach again. But he gave Madoka a chance to spring to his feet and dust sand off his clothes.

          “Thank you so much, miss. I’m sorry to have disturbed your beach visit.” Madoka was still trying to shake the sand out of his hair, but otherwise seemed to be alright, “Haku can get carried away when she’s having fun.”

“No problem!”She said,”The two of you make such a cute team! She seems like a totes fun pokemon! What kind is she?” She looked similar to the one the bubbled her a few days ago. Maybe they were from the same evolution line? “She like wouldn’t happen to be a pokemon native to Alola, would she?”

“Dress up with your Pokemon?!” That caught their attention more quickly than anything else she said, “Wow, Goldenrod is way cooler than mom ever said it was.”

“A department store in Goldenrod is probably way bigger than anything we’ve seen,” Alice said, “That all sounds like so much fun, we’ll absolutely have to go check it out.”

“Yeah, it’s apparently really fun!”Solique said,”They provide the costumes for you and your team to borrow and they have all sorts of sizes, so even big and tiny pokemon can join in.”

“We’re here! Ta da!” She announced waving her hands at the tiny restaurant. There wasn’t a crowd at all. Actually only a couple of the tables were full at the moment. “Ha, we beat the lunch rush!”

“Well, if we happen to run into each other in another region, we should go out to eat again!” Alice chuckled.

“Oh, I’ve heard about Goldenrod,” Hunter gasped, “Didn’t it have a, like, amazing Game Room, arcade thing?”

“It does! I always stop by there when I visit! Although, a lot of what I go to Goldenrod for is the Department Store! Or the Underground. The underground is really fun! You two should visit while you’re in the region! There are always people down there who like to battle, but there are also like a bunch of vendor stalls, and stuff. There’s even a place where you can dress up with your pokemon in silly costumes for a big group picture down there!” It would be fun to do that sometime.
