-Go and pick up some flowers for me please, you won't have to go too far and it will be easy- those were the words of my boss when she tasked me with going to gather things for her, on paper it didn't sound too bad, a dozen of roses, a couple marguerites and an orchid, even afterwards knowing I had to go into the forest it all seemed easy, then… how did I end up like this, I'm already not good with strangers and now I am faced by wanting the same thing as a Lucario, I looked at him, feeling my legs tremble in nervousness as my mouth opened a bit to try and negotiate -e-excuse me s-sir?- I said with my voice cutting more than I was expecting it to -i-i.. err I n-need an orchid, i-I'm sure this is yours but… c-could you maybe.. tell me where I can find another one... maybe?- I gulp at my stuttering, looking at the Lucario, he took a step and cut the orchid, taking it and handing it to me -oh no, this isn't mine I just found and thought it looked pretty, but you seem to need it so if its gonna have a better use for you take it- the Lucario said gently, me blushing lightly as I took the orchid and then move one of my feelers to set it in the basket on my back, I look again at the Lucario and do a lil bow -t-thank you so much, errrr i-if you ever want to, there's a café on this town where I work at, if you go I'll treat you to a drink or some pastry in thanks- I said now smiling with my cheeks turning as pink as my ears, turning around to start walking before I feel him walking behind me -well, how about I take you on that offer now, I'm new here and could use something to eat- the Lucario said and moved to walk alongside me with a gentle smile, I just kept walking and nodded to his request, leading both of us out of the forest and start walking through the meadows into the town -if you really are new to the town then I'm sure you'll like it around here, it's very peaceful and we are known for having one of the best cafés in the region- I said as we come close to the town, the buildings starting to be seen, all looking kind of rustic but nice, I smiling as the many different pokemon walking about, some looking busy to go to their jobs while others seem to be just having a walk. As we enter into the town I notice some of the pokemon turning to look at the Lucario, understandably so considering how rare of a sighting it is but most seem to not mind or just stop for a quick look, the Lucario seemed surprised at this -huh, they aren't staring at me- he said with a bit of a surprised tone while looking at the pokemon that seemed to not mind much about his presence, I looked over at him and tilted my head a bit -hmmm? Why would they? You're just a pokemon, I mean yes Lucarios are not common anywhere but that doesn't mean others will look at you like an outcast, I told you it's a nice place- I said as I continue to lead us through the main plaza, passing by a fountain, some families of pokemon enjoying their time with their kids and I wave at an ice cream stand before we move towards one of the streets and close to a two floor café decorated with flowers outside and having many pokemon drinking coffee and other drinks in tables, some on the outside of the lower floor, some near the balconies and others just inside. As we enter the café we are greeted with many pokemon drinking different warm beverages and I walk towards the counter and lean up on my hind legs after setting the basket on a free spot -I'm back boss~- I say with a far more calm tone and before us a flareon with a rose set on her left ear walks out of the kitchen and smiles -gaby~ you're back, hehe what took you so long silly sylveon- the flareon said with a warm tone looking at me -oh well, you know I had to look in the forest for the orchid, was quite the trip I must say- I answer as she looks in the basket counting the flowers and smiling as she takes them into the back before coming out a couple minutes later looking at me then at you and making me jump a bit -oh sure hehe, sorry, this is my boss Rosy, she is the owner of this café and one of the founders of the whole town, a very nice flareon, and boss this- I stop and look over at him -errrr, this is…- I blush and look a bit nervous as I don't actually know the name of the Lucario and gulp a bit, he notices it and seems to chuckle a bit before looking at the flareon and extending his paw to greet rosy -My name is David, pleasure to meet you miss Rosy- the flareon smiles and shakes David's paw as I just look at you both -hey boss, he in a way helped me with getting the orchid, you think we can give him something nice to eat on me?- she smiles and goes off towards the kitchen and I look over -so tell me David, what brings you to our town- I say as I sit on one of the chairs and David sits next to me -Well I'm mostly a traveler, I've been traveling for some time from town to town, just looking for a place to be you know, been just looking if I can help around a place and well, as a fighting type I have some experience in those things- after he is done talking I look at him and smile -well I'm sure you'll find a place to be soon, I mean… you seem nice and most towns could use nice pokemon- as I finish my words rosy comes out with a chocolate volcano like looking poffin cake and sets it between us also putting some aroma flowers down -okie then, flarey's chocolate volcano surprise here, I hope you like chocolate mr Lucario- Rosy says with a smile and sits on the chair on the other side of the counter, the Lucario not being able to control his surprise and drool a bit -ch-ch-chocolate! I love chocolate!- he says and without saying anything else, takes a part of the cake and starts eating, a big smile drawing into his face and even some blush on his cheeks -oh my god… t-this is the best chocolate cake I've ever had, Rosy, you're awesome at cooking- the flareon just giggled and shook her head -oh no no silly I didn't cook that, my son did, that's why it's called that way- David just continued to eat and soon finish the cake with a smile and rubbed his stomach satisfied, I myself just giggling and drinking a bit of tea that was brought while he was on his chocolate bliss -hehe, he wasn't joking huh?- I say and look at Rosy meeting with a chuckle before she coughs to get our attention -ahem, so David, I couldn't help but hear that you were looking for a place to be, how about you stay in our town for a bit, maybe get to know it better and see if you like it, who knows maybe you'll end up staying here- she says with a warm tone, David seems to stop a bit and contemplate the idea for a bit, Rosy getting up to go attend a costumer -think about it, I know someone that can rent you a room- and with that said the flareon went off leaving just me and David, I looking at him -you know, I could show you a bit around town while you think about it- once I say it the Lucario nods and gets up, me stopping to finish up my tea and then going out -I wanna show you, somewhere come with me- I lead him outside, the sun setting down as we start walking on the opposite side of where we entered the town walking and looking about. After a couple minutes I turn to a house and motion him to follow me behind, him tilting his head but coming, and once he does I sit down and motion him to follow me patting the place next to me -come look at this- I say as David moves next to me and sits down, me proceeding to point at the sky at the almost perfect view of the stars -here you can have a beautiful view of the stars, it's always so peaceful you know, just watching at them shine- I give a warm smile -you know, you seem like a nice person, I think you should at least stay another day or two, it seems to me you were surprised with how most pokemon here are and how nobody seemed to really stare at you- David smiles a bit and chuckles -yeah, I think I will, it does seem like a nice place and well, hehe that chocolate cake was really out of this world- he says with a slight blush but a smile while nodding -well then, I'll take you to the inn that Rosy mentioned and let you rest for the day- and without saying more we both walked back into town, passing by the café and soon get to a hotel that looks like a tiny version of a high rate hotel and get in, a espeon on the main counter -hey Ruby, this is David, Rosy told him he could get a room, he is staying for a couple days, you think you can show him the way?- the espeon sighed a bit and stood from where she was sitting moving to us -oh Rosy, she will one day put me out of work hehe, right this way sir- the espeon says and start walking upstairs me waving goodbye to David and going out of the hotel, David waved back and then went ahead to follow the espeon to a room near the stairs, going in to see a room with a nice single bed, a mirror with a nice frame around it, a desk for stuff, a small tv, a bathroom with a shower, some nice red curtains on the window with a balcony and some basic stuff, Ruby then handing the Lucario a key -this is your key, don't lose it, and don't be too noisy and we'll be all ok, enjoy your stay- and with that said doing a turn she left walking elegantly like most espeons do, David moving to walk out to the balcony and sigh as he stared at the night sky -to think this morning I woke up sleeping in a random cave I found and now I am in a nice room after helping a guy out- he smiled a bit as he looked at the many buildings and the streets slowly emptying from pokemon going into their houses for the night, just a couple staying out -I think… I'm gonna like this place- and without saying anything else he proceeded to close the balcony, going into the bed and smiling once more before pulling the covers over himself and closing his eyes, the sleepiness soon catching to him and dozing off.
