Sorry for the long delay. Now the release date of the newest Pokémon Game is online but I'm looking forward more to the release date of the Fire Emblem game. I couldn't finish my PS4 game Sekiro but who can? Thank you Orceanos.

Too bad they couldn't walk away from that moment enclaved in a table like this. Randy took a big bite of his food to overplay the awkwardness. The food helped him forget from how tasty it was. But still Anna and David looked at them and snickered. Their cute reactions was what gave their days some fun.

July blushed even more because of the embarrassment. The first one to finish was Randy, and he immediately rushed to the bathroom to splash cold water on his face. But the water helped not as much as he wanted. When he walked out, he saw a little boy with light blue hair in the kitchen tossing a PokéBall up and down. That was a rather unsafe place to play around with a Pokeball.

Ryan wondered if he could talk to that boy in the kitchen. Maybe he was a trainer like him. But sure he wasn't allowed to enter the kitchen just like that. The boy saw him though and smiled.

"If I was allowed to put Bibarel out, he would say hello to."

Randy was a bit confused. He didn't know why the boy announced his Pokemon. Before he could think more about it he saw that July was approaching. She had that pretty smile on her face and her hands behind her back.

"I found you, we're done with dinner we wanted to go."

Randy nodded his head. It was clear he should go with his friends and cease staring at this young boy. He followed July and waved goodbye to the boy. The boy waved goodbye back to Randy. Randy closed the distance to July and hopped that they could spend some time together before they had to go to bed. Maybe he could make an excuse with one of his Pokémon, like Ralts.

"Hey July, I know we wanted to train tomorrow, but would you mind to have a look at Ralts right now, just to make sure that everything will be fine tomorrow."

July got down and looked Ralts in its small black eyes. Ralts looked very happy back at her. Ralts and her practiced Confusion. It was one of Ralts strongest moves. July was impressed by Ralts' psychical strength, which made Ralts and Randy very proud.

Ralts continued to work hard and show off a little with using Confusion on random objects and later wild Pokémon like Buizel's. Randy and July stood very close to each other, enjoying the last bits of the setting evening sun, while they watched Ralts with amusement. At last the day came where Randy was going to challenge the gym leader. He had Prinplup, Ralts, and his third choice.

He returned Ralts into its Pokéball and walked with July back into the pokecenter where their rooms were for the night. She waved goodbye before stepping into her room and Randy walked into his room with Ralts.

When Randy walked into the room he shared with David, David was allready sitting on his bed looking like he just had finished his mandatory phonecall with Krystal. He had a smile that could light up a room on his face. Randy released Ralts and Shinx so that they could sleep in his bed, too.

He would release Prinplup, but it became too big and fat for a human bed. Ralts and Shinx happily jumped into Randy's bed. They curled up together so they would be each others pillows. Randy was super happy when he saw how good his Pokémon got along. Maybe it had to do with an understanding or something. Randy didn't know but he happily laid down next to his two smallest Pokemon.

The night was full of serene thoughts and aspirations as Randy slept comfortably. Anna, July and David also had a peaceful night with their Pokémon. Absol, Ponyta, and Misdreavus were enjoying being in a hotel room. As much as they liked it to share their rooms with their Pokemon, it was an issue that their Pokémon got up pretty early.

Shinx was scratching at the hotel door trying to go pee. Randy eventually woke up from the sound on the room door. He wondered who it could be that would open that door. Randy was slowly opening his eyes and saw Shinx scratching at the door.

Randy yawned before he got up and opened the door. He picked up Shinx and walked outside with it, completely forgetting that he was still in his pjs. The maid saw him in his Pyjamas.

Randy, still sleepy, didn't notice her and opened the hotel door for Shinx. Shinx ran down the hall and down to a lower floor. Randy was so sleepy he forgot to follow Shinx after dashing that fast. When he realized what had happened he immediately followed Shinx.

"Shinx!"

Shinx was able to see Shinx run out of the PokeCenter. It was almost a chase if Shinx hadn't run back into the PokéCenter.

Randy picked it up again so that it couldn't run away anymore.

"What are you doing buddy?"

Shinx responded tickling Randy's nose with its wet tongue against his face. Randy enjoyed seeing the affection Shinx gives.

Randy smiled and scratched Shinx behind its ears. "Do you still need to go outside."

Shinx nodded its head while immersing in the gentle touch of Randy. Randy continued to carry Shinx and he walked outside the Pokécenter behind the building putting down Shinx next to a bigger hedgerow.

Shinx had business to attend to there. Randy stood around watching Pokémon and people walk by. He could swear a girl winked at him walking by. Maybe standing near Shinx had something to do with it.

When Shinx was done it went back to Randy rubbing it's head against his lower leg. Randy felt the tickle of Shinx's fur against his leg. He laughed a little. Randy smiled and walked back, together with Shinx. Shinx was wagging its star shaped tail to get back to the hotel now.

The maid chuckled a bit when Randy, still in his pjs, came back with Shinx. She put away her Windex away and approached Randy. Randy looked confused at her.

"Hi. Your a Pokémon trainer. That's a nice Shinx."

"Thank you, indeed I'm a trainer and Shinx is the first Pokémon I caught by myself."

"That's cool. I'm no trainer and I need to keep this job so I can have money for going to bars and meet a potential boyfriend."

Randy blushed a little bit, because the topic was a bit embarrassing for him. He never had a girlfriend in his life either. The maid also blushed a bit, because she suddenly realized that she gave away bit to much information about her private life.

Randy however had an idea. Maybe he could give her a Pokéball, let her borrow Shinx, and help her capture a Pokémon of her own. Would he really do that? He would have to talk to Shinx about it.

But first he would go back to his room, because it was still two hours before breakfast would be saved. Maybe he could ask his friends what they think about helping a maid have her own Pokemon. He would do that during breakfast.

He made it. His four Pokémon out and his friends eating while in deep thought. July seemed to be more enthusiastic than usually. Maybe it was the food.

She smiled at Randy. "I'm so happy that we can train together today."

"Yeah...about that. How do you feel about helping a stranger catch a Pokémon?"

She looked upset at him. "And I had hoped we would train together."

"We can. I just have to do this first."

"So, some random guy is more important to you, than spending time with me."

"Girl actually." Randy corrected.

July looked at him shocked, dropped her food, collected her Pokémon and ran off the table. Randy did not expect that to happen. Now he felt bad. David and Anna just looked at him before pretending to continue eating their food.

Anna rolled her eyes, because Randy was doing nothing and went after July. David just ate his eggs like it wasn't his concern. This made him think more about how he could be nice to Krystal.

He thought about sending her a very unique gift. Maybe something like flowers delivered by Ralts would help. It would be quite difficult to find a Ralts that would bring flowers from Solaceon Town to Oreburgh City.

Maybe he would just bring the flowers to her himself.

Going to Oreburgh City would still be a massive detour.
