“A-a-are you sure?!” Lykos asked, clearly panicking despite the other’s attempt to calm him down. Even Acantha was trying to calm him down and had very little success so far. He tried to breathe slowly to at least try to calm down but... he could’ve sworn he had seen someone who was unable to get out of the way in time--

“There you go! You’ll be fine if we go now right? Good thing the beach isn’t that far...”
If there’s nothing planned for the day and he’s too tired to really continue exploring, he gets Silvia to take him back to his Hometown, Cherrygrove, and spends the day there with his mom. Since there’s a nice beach at the edge of the city, he lets all his pokemon out and let them decide for themselves which group is going to stay at home (and sometimes help out with his mom) and which ones are going with him to the beach.
Usually the ones who go with him are Arethusa, Senele and Acantha- sometimes Silvia joins them. Arethusa goes because she’s a water-type pokemon, Senele because she likes splashing people, and Acantha simply because she just goes with Lykos almost everywhere. Silvia joins in the fun but sort of acts more like a messenger for Lykos and his mom instead, most of the time.
The group that stays at home do their best to help his mom with her chores, but sometimes they ended up causing more trouble instead (”Terminus dear you’re not supposed to hit the stove- Oh, Thalia you shouldn’t stay there that’s the vent for the stove-! Oh dear… Silvia darling, could you please bring this list to Lykos? Hopefully he can get them on the way back home...”). Most of the time they just stay in his room, trying to fix it for when their trainer gets home.
If he’s lucky, his dad would be around to share stories of his own adventures while they eat dinner. If his luck would completely hold out his sister would have one of her rare visits too-- though some would consider that unlucky, as she tends to drag her “little brother” off somewhere on a short adventure “just like when they were kids”.
