Illumise fluttered about inside her home, which was a hollowed out tree in the forest of the Emerald Ring. "Naturally, on what is possibly the most important day ever, I wake up late." She grumbled, searching for her favorite sparkly black bow. She wanted to look her best for the first day at Gardevoir High! As soon as she found the bow, she rushed out to make it on time.
Walking on the path though the forest, Illumise couldn't help but to slow down to admire the scenery. The trees were a deep, rich shade of green while tiny white flowers and a couple blue ones dotted the ground. What sunlight made it through the tree's leaves came out in dappled patterns. Some might find the slight lack of light depressing, but it made the scene seem peaceful to Illumise. Life couldn't be more perfect.
Thunk.
Illumise rubbed tenderly at the spot where the nut hit her. Then she noticed that it was a green nut. It shouldn't be falling yet!
Thunk, thunk thunk thunk!
Nuts began to rain down directly on Illumise no matter how she tried to avoid them. A small giggle from above gave Illumise all the information she needed. "Nuzleaf!" She yelled. The mischievous Pokémon stuck his head out of the leaves above her. "Yes?" He smiled and asked "innocently". Illumise flew up and charged at him. "When I get my hands on you…!" She threatened. With a yelp, he dove back into the leaves and began to leap from tree to tree. Smiling, Illumise flew up higher and began to chase him down.
Yup, today life just couldn't be more perfect.
