Lyra might have given up the the whole mythical hero stick, but that doesn’t mean she can’t find time for a little vigilante justice.
Let’s set the scene. Her favourite market in Goldenrod is based in a huge warehouse close to the sea. It’s her favourite because it caters almost exclusively to trainers. Including stalls that sell those rarer, harder to find berries that her team munches down like they’re cereal. They’re just better for them than potions, okay.
But not all species of pokémon are satiated with just berries. Plenty of trainers work with pokémon that need a little extra protein in their diet. And beef and chicken isn’t enough for some monsters.
Now there’s at least five live slowpoke tail vendors at this market that she doesn’t take that much of an issue with, Sure, she hates seeing them farmed but she’d much rather they’re well looked after if they are going to be subjected to it.
But a new stall’s popped up, and this stall is most certainly not looking after it’s slowpoke. She’s seen them pacing around their pen, agitated, big red rings at the base of their tails—the kind of irritation no doubt caused by removing their tails before they’re fully grown back in.
Lyra K. Kuno was not going to let a pokémon live like that.
Smash-cut to the warehouse, early in the morning. Plum’s taken out the security guards with a little hypnotism, Coconut Cream’s has teleported Lyra and himself in. They’re all cloaked in spooky, gengar-induced shadow and are sneaking towards the offending slowpoke pen. Ready to grab their targets and teleport out at a moments notice.
Or they would have been, if they hadn’t have spotted another trespasser, already helping themselves to the aforementioned ‘pokes.
“Oh, come on—” she exclaimed before she could stop herself. Plum and C.C. stared at her in horror as she clapped her hands over her mouth, Okay, this was bad. So bad, there was no way that the other trespasser didn’t hear her. But the key to making the best out of a bad situation was not to let your nerves get the better of you! Which is why she’s going to stand stock still and just watch how this dude reacts. Genius!
