The Contest hadn’t... gone quite how Claudia expected it to. Perhaps she should have done a bit more research and planning. She knew the basics of course, about the primary and secondary judging and all that. It seemed relatively simple, at least conceptually. The truth was there was many more intricacies then she first anticipated.

She had lost, but the loss didn’t sting too badly. She didn’t go in expecting to win her first Contest. But at the same time, she thought she would have done a bit better. Claudia had experience on the stage, performing came naturally. It better considering she was a dancer of all things.

The one that was the most miffed over losing was Salem. The Zorua huffed as the two walked out of the changing room, tail drooping. ❝ Hey, I don’t care what those judges might say. You’re still the cutest thing, okay? ❞ she reassured, picking up the Dark-type to meet her eye level. Salem stayed silent for a few seconds before nodding and giving a yip of confirmation, the fire returning to her eyes. Now there’s the Salem she remembered.

Bringing her back down in her arms, Claudia took a quick glance around the Contest Hall. To the left she spotted him; the guy who had gone to win the Contest she was just in. Maybe... she could ask him for some tips or something? Couldn’t hurt to ask right? He looked to know what he was doing at least, which was more then she could say.

Walking up towards him, she tapped on his shoulder, giving a smile. ❝ Hey, my name is Claudia. We competed in that Contest right now. I was wondering if you could pass me some tips? I want to get better at this so I just thought I should ask someone who’s good at it. ❞

“Daigo! Are you sure you checked up on the flowers recently? You threw out the ones that’ll expire quickly right?!”

Daigo rolled his eyes before raising his voice towards the shop owner who was somewhere in the back of the shop. “The hell are you still here for?! Didn’t you say you had something important to do?! I already checked the flowers, and I already took stock so get the hell out of here already!”

“You shouldn’t talk that way to people Daigo! Customer service~! Customer service~!” She responded before he heard the back door shut, signifying her departure. Daigo turned back towards bouquet he was busy assembling with a scowl.

Customer Service can kiss his ass.

The familiar sound of the bells chimed as the door to Flower Shop swung open, and a girl with a Lilligant walked in. Most people quickly turned on their heels the moment they saw him, but either this one didn’t know any better or she was desperate enough to still keep shopping.

“Gardenias? Those’ll be 10 pokedollars a bloom. Also uh keep an eye on that Lilligant of yours. Shop Owner doesn’t like pokemon roaming around, but I don’t really care. Absolutely zero bug types though. There’ll be none of those.” He responded as he finished up with the bouquet. He didn’t know how badly that guy fucked up, but he sure was paying for a lot of flowers. Honestly it was kind of funny.

Daigo turned his attention to the girl.

“You going to a wedding or something?”

❝ Ten huh? I’ll take... well, ten then! ❞ A giggle escaped her, making sure to keep an eye on Princess, but the Lilligant seemed perfectly fine. She was delighted in fact, taking special care of where she was. If anything, the flowers seemed perkier with her around, the colors looking a bit more vibrant. Maybe that was just her imagination though, running wild like it usually did. It was hard not to think it when Princess brightened up any room she was in.

Claudia was about to speak when Princess came over, holding a sunflower that was growing in a pot. ❝ Don’t worry sir, I don’t have any Bug-types Pokemon... and Princess this is really nice but do you plan on getting every flower here? ❞ Her Pokemon didn’t respond, only turning back to see what other flora caught her eye. Oh maybe this was a bit of a mistake. Claudia didn’t have all that much money on her.

While Princess acted like a kid in a candy shop, she turned her attention back to the man. He seemed... a bit out of place. Or maybe a lot out of place. He didn’t seem like the type to be working in a flower shop of all places. Not like she judged; maybe he just really liked flowers and this was his dream job. ❝ Ahaha, no, sadly. Would love to go to one though. Princess just wanted to come in. You got some really pretty flowers here. ❞ She shuffled her feet a bit before continuing. ❝ Does your family own this store? ❞

Quentin, walking in time to the song he was humming, meandered down the path with Fermata a few steps behind. Quentin was a wanderer, very rarely setting routes or paths for him to travel. He enjoyed the journey and seeing what there was around him rather than getting to his destination quickly or efficiently. Even taking time to stop and examine something unexpected, like the approaching cry of a pokemon.

Fermata heard the yelps, immediately taking on a defensive stance and looking around for the source of the cry. Quentin groaned in response to his Lucario’s posture. He placed a hand on the pokemon’s shoulder, turning him around for a scolding.

“Calm down! We talked about this, you can’t be so worked up all the time.” Quentin said, frowning at his companion as the small Zorua came running up to him. As much as Quentin loved Fermata, he was getting tired of the pokemon constantly being on edge and suspicious of every little noise he heard. He sighed, kneeling down to get on the Zorua’s eye level a bit more and giving it a small smile.

“Hey there.” He said, slowly reaching a hand out to see if the pokemon would let him pet it. Zorua was just another mystery on a long list of things Quentin wanted to research. Right now only one thing caught his attention, how adorable they were up close. “Look at how cute you are! Absolutely adorable!” Quentin jumped up when the Zorua’s trainer approached, a little surprised by the sudden appearance of the girl. She immediately began asking him questions, a little clueless as he tried to answer.

“Um…the next town? I guess we are.” He said, looking over at Fermata as if he had a better answer. “You can come if you don’t mind this guy glaring at you the entire time.” He finished, prodding his Lucario with an elbow.

Salem only glowed underneath the attention, puffing out her chest and sought it out more, paying no need to the Lucario. A common tactic by the Pokemon, it was one that worked well on most people because of how cute Zoruas could be. Claudia herself still fell for it on occasion. Salem only paused when her trainer came over, returning over to her side, but still looked at Quentin curiously, her tail slowly waving side to side.

❝ Oh thank you so much! And don’t worry I’m fine with that. ❞ She gave the Lucario a friendly smile and a wave, hoping that would ease it. Maybe he was just not accustomed to other people? She could see that, some Pokemon were like that. Protective of their trainers and all that. She was sure the Lucario would relax when it realized there was no threat. Salem meanwhile stood up on her hind paws, looking to be picked up.

Claudia giggled, scooping the Dark-type in her arms before turning back to her new companion. ❝ Is that a Lucario? I’ve never seen one in real life before. Only on TV and stuff. ❞ He looked just as cool as she thought, though this one seemed more... well, more cross then she would have expected. The species seemed more calm to her, but maybe it was just because she was around.

❝ He’s really cool. ❞

❝ Oh, miss! Wait up! ❞

She almost missed her, her Zorua having taken a slight detour ( the little one was always looking for the next new thrill ) but luckily she had move fast enough. Claudia was slightly out of breath but still kept her chipper attitude. Extending out her hand, she revealed a wallet that wasn’t hers, offering it.

❝ This is yours, right? You left it behind in the restaurant back there. I was worried for a moment I would’t have caught up with you. ❞ The thought occurred to her that she could have gave it to one of the workers of the restaurant, but she felt it was better if she simply gave it directly back to it’s owner. They’ll both feel better about it. ❝ You really know your way around the city you know? I got lost a bit trying to catch up. ❞

While many people found Castelia to be a hassle at times, the size of it and the sheer amount of people it held being overbearing, Claudia loved it. There was so much to do, so much to see! Everyday she discovered something new, and that in her mind was a sort of magic that was hard to find anywhere else.

Today was no different. Wandering in one of the numerous streets the city contained, her Lilligant Princess stopped suddenly, pressing her leaves against a window.Turning to it, she saw a flower store, lovely blooms just across the panel. ❝ Oh those are really nice... do you wanna see them up close Princess? ❞

She probably shouldn’t have asked such a question when she knew the answer. In moments the door was opened and the Pokemon stepped inside, her trainer right behind. Princess was right at home, looking over some gardenias with a bright look on her face.

Okay she had to go get them now. She flashed a bright smile to the man behind the counter, head tilting every so slowly to the side. ❝ Sir, how much would those gardenias be? My Lilligant really likes them. ❞

As much as Claudia loved to simply be out and about, it did put her in trouble more often then not. In this case, it was being lost. Something she was used to, yes, but there was that sense of hesitation being in an area you didn’t mean to wander into. She and Salem, her Zorua were having their fun along the route when a few odd turns had left them clueless on where they actually were.

❝ Mmm, I don’t think there’s a town nearby Salem... I mean, I really hope there is, but... ❞ Her voice trailed off, the duo slowly trying to find their way back onto the beaten path. The sun was beginning it’s descent in the distance, signifying the end of the day. She wouldn’t mind this as much if she had more supplies on her. She hadn’t picked any up in the last city because she didn’t intend to really leave it; she didn’t know the path she took would lead her out here out nowhere.

As she fretted, the small yelps of Salem caught her attention. The Dark-type rushed it’s tiny paws over to another trainer who was coming along; perfect! Maybe he could help them out. Giving her usual friendly smile, she caught up to them. ❝ Hey! I hope you don’t mind but are you heading to the next town? Do you mind if me and Salem tagged along? We’re a... a bit lost. ❞
