Which School
Masquerain fluttered worriedly around it's trainers head as she watched her human panic over several piles of paper. To Masquerain it seemed that the answer was as clear as the fact that her trainer loved her.
"What should I do Mas?" Lily asked with another groan as she looked between the two school leaflets in front of her, "Mum and dad said they do not mind what I pick, they just want me to be happy. So do I stay in normal school and get a normal job or should I go to the special Pokémon trainer school before heading out on my very own Pokémon journey? Both schools offer a different type of benefit that the other one doesn't."
"Mas, Masquerain," Masquerain said kindly as she nudged the trainer school leaflet with her wing.
"You think I should go to the Pokémon trainer school?" Lily asked as she looked at her pet Pokémon, "Do you want to become my partner and travel with me?"
"Masquerain!" the Pokémon replied happily only to frown in confusion as her trainer bit her lip nervously.
"I don't know...I want to go to the trainer school, I really do but from what I have heard from the older kids who go to the trainer school it is really hard," Lily said as she nervously eyed the trainer school leaflet, "You not only have to study and pass all of your normal school courses in a much shorter time period but you also have to study and pass the exams you need to get your Pokémon licence. I'm worried that I will fail...that it might be too much work for me to handle."
Masquerain comfortingly nuzzled her trainer's side while confusion ran through her mind. Why couldn't her human understand just how smart she was, how wonderful and kind she was, that she could become a skilled and powerful Pokémon trainer with just a bit of hard work.
"I know that you do not get anywhere in life without a bit of hard work," Lily admitted as she gazed at the normal school, "But I don't want to take on something I can't handle. I mean everyone of all ages go on Pokémon journeys these days! Not just ten year olds! Oh Masquerain, what should I do?"
Masquerain knew what to do, she had done this multiple times before. Quickly snatching the normal school leaflet out of her humans' hand Masquerain flew over to the bin and dropped it in before Lily had time to react. Feeling that she had made her view, and which option she thought that Lily should chose, Masquerain flew back to the table and landed with an innocent look on her face.
"I guess I know what you think," Lily deadpanned causing Masquerain to let out a happy sound of agreement, "Well...I guess we better tell mum and dad that their daughter is going to become a Pokémon trainer."
The End.
