So I don't really include Daisy in the story as much as I would like to. I figured I would have brief moments at the end of most chapters, but that hasn't been happening. This chapter is just for her, and I hope to have more like that in the future. As always, feel free to leave a review, fave, and/or follow as you see fit. Thanks for reading.
Daisy woke up quickly getting dressed. She ran downstairs with her Combee trailing behind her. She ran into the kitchen and started preparing breakfast. She grabbed a basket off the shelf as well. Daisy placed some sandwiches in the basket along with several macarons that she had made earlier in the week. She grabbed the basket and her bag sitting by the stairs and headed out the door towards the meadow. She ran to one of the clearings. "Hey, where are you?"
At that moment, the small Pokémon known as Shaymin ran out from behind the trees towards Daisy. "Shay!" It squealed happily nuzzling her leg.
"I got breakfast." Daisy knelt beside it and opened her basket. She pulled out a sandwich for Shaymin, her Combee, and for herself. Daisy spread a little honey on hers and Shaymin's sandwich; she gave Combee a few extra berries to thank it. Shaymin finished its food quickly nuzzling itself under Daisy's arm expecting attention. She smiled petting it with one hand while finishing her sandwich with the other. Once she finished, she reached into her basket and pulled out the macarons. She pulled out two for herself, two for Shaymin, and two for Combee each giving them the ones that they liked best.
Once they were finished eating, Daisy opened up her bag grabbing an old book. She flipped to the marked page showing it to Shaymin. "I finally figured out what that flower is." She pointed to the old picture which was barely visible. She reached into her bag pulling out a pink flower. "It's called a Gracidea." She held it in her hand sniffing it. "It's supposed to give you some sort of special power." She touched it to Shaymin's head watching it transform. It stood a little taller, more white in color with what looked like antlers on its head. It jumped into the sky flying around the clearing letting out excited cries while Daisy watched it smiling. Her Combee seemed eager to join in on the fun as it flew into the sky with Shaymin.
When it landed, Daisy touched Shaymin with the flower again watching it return to its normal form. It jumped on Daisy tackling her to the ground. She hugged it tightly smiling. Daisy stood up setting Shaymin down and picking up her basket; she picked up the Gracidea and put it in her bag. "I need to go pick some berries now." Daisy walked off towards the forest with Combee and Shaymin tagging along with her. She walked into the meadow looking for the trees with the freshest berries. She looked at Shaymin pulling the Gracidea from her bag. "Do you want to help me?" The Pokémon nodded its head eagerly as Daisy touched it with the flower. It flew on to one of the branches and picked a berry off the tree tossing it down to Daisy. It continued to do so while Daisy ran around with her basket trying to catch the berries. Her Combee decided to jump in knocking berries down from an adjacent tree making Daisy's job a bit more difficult as she had to run more to catch the berries. Soon enough Daisy's basket was filled. She touched Shaymin with the Gracidea once more returning it to its normal form. Daisy picked a few more herbs and flowers before walking with Shaymin back to its home. "I need to go now, but I'll have something special for you tomorrow." She hugged Shaymin tightly before walking off with Combee. As she walked, the Gracidea fell from her bag.
Daisy walked with her basket full back home dropping it off to sort later what was to be sold and what she could use. She walked to the post office and walked inside to the counter. "Any packages for me?"
"Yep." The clerk smiled handing her a box.
"Great, they finally came." Daisy smiled running back home. She walked to her room and grabbed some wrapping paper carefully wrapping up the box and tying a bow on it. Tomorrow's going to be special.
It was later in the evening. The sun had started to set outside. "Daisy, dinner!" Her mother called up the stairs.
"Coming!" Daisy ran downstairs, washed her hands, and took her seat at the table.
Her mother finished setting down several dishes while her father took his seat at the table. "Are you excited for our trip to Johto in a couple days?" Her father asked putting some rice on his plate.
Daisy nodded her head. "I've been packing all week."
"Johto is so beautiful this time of year." Her mother reminisced.
"While we're there, can we learn how to make pokeballs?" Daisy asked. "I heard Apricorns grow really well over there."
"I don't see why not." Daisy's father smiled at his daughter. Daisy smiled starting to eat her food. She called out her Combee who started eating the dish of Pokémon food set out on the floor.
"And while we're there, I'd love to look into catching a Growlithe." Daisy's mother added in.
"We're going to be there for a little while. I don't see why we can't do all of those things." Daisy's father said. Everyone continued to eat their food.
After dinner, Daisy ran upstairs to her room. She sat down on her bed hearing a loud yelp. She jumped up and ripped off her covers seeing Shaymin. "How did you get in here?" Daisy closed the door to her room locking it. She turned around seeing the open window as well as the Gracidea flower that was under the blankets with Shaymin. It walked over to Daisy nuzzling her leg. "I missed you too, but you need to go home." Daisy grabbed the flower and touched Shaymin with it; nothing happened. "It's not working." She grabbed the old book from her back and read it briefly. "It doesn't work at night, and I don't feel comfortable getting you out of the house. I guess you're staying here tonight." The Pokémon seemed excited as it started to look around the room. It climbed into Daisy's desk chair and on to her desk. It nudged at the wrapped box sitting on it. "That's supposed to be for tomorrow." Daisy said petting Shaymin. "If you really want though, we can open it now." Shaymin pawed at the box eagerly. "Okay, we'll open it now." Daisy smiled helping Shaymin undo the bow and tear at the paper. She opened the box revealing a black and gold pokeball in a pile of tissue paper. "I saved up all my money to get it. I got one for you too." She opened her desk pulling one out for her Combee who was looking a bit jealous. "It's a luxury ball. I was hoping that you might want to be one of my partners." Daisy looked at it smiling.
Shaymin jumped off the desk knocking Daisy to the floor. It started licking her face showing her affection.
"Daisy, what are you doing in there?" Her mother rattled the doorknob.
"Nothing, mom." She turned to Shaymin. "Hide!" It crawled under the bed. Daisy opened the door for her mother.
"What's going on? I keep hearing you talking and loud thuds downstairs. Is everything okay? You and Combee are getting along okay?"
"We're fine mom. I just got Combee a luxury ball and it got a little excited." Daisy picked up one of the pokeballs off the desk and deactivated the old one before throwing it at Combee. It rattled for a few seconds before Combee came back out excited.
"Okay dear, just try to calm down. I know a lot of exciting stuff is happening right now, but it is getting late."
"Sorry, mom."
"It's okay, dear." Daisy's mom walked away allowing Daisy to close the door and lock it.
"Sorry." Daisy leaned under the bed looking at Shaymin. She pulled it out hugging it. "Do you still want to be my partner?" Daisy asked holding up the other luxury ball. Shaymin tapped the button with its paw getting sucked into it. The ball rattled for a few seconds before Shaymin emerged excitedly nuzzling Daisy. "Welcome to the team." She hugged it back.
