starter for @lukissed
“Huh?” They had been on a walk, he, Luxray, Raichu and Brynn, to see a little more of Alola (even if Volkner thought it far too hot to really enjoy it), when Raichu, followed shortly by Luxray, abruptly took off. From Raichu, he expected it - the electric mouse could not to be stopped once on the scent of something exciting, and Volkner had never seen any reason to stop him; from Luxray? Volkner had never seen him hurry off like that. “Hey-”
To his credit, Luxray paused occasionally to give Volkner opportunity to catch up before continuing on, and Volkner followed in good faith he was being lead toward something important.
It wasn’t long before he understood what had gotten his Pokemon so riled up, as they reached - “ah, kid.” Raichu, shameless as always, had already tackled the trainer into a hug. Luxray, in the meantime, stood nearby, possessing too much pride to show he wanted Lucas’ attention.
What a small world, he thought. “I should have known you would come here,” Brynn, strapped to his chest, babbled happily, as if she herself recognized Lucas. “... how have you been?”
