The group continued down the valley until they got to the edge of town, by this time Arianna was carrying Riolu. With a little ushering from Adrian she took his pokeball and was now happy to have her own pokemon. Draeka continued talking to Riolu to get him more used to talking to Adrian and Arianna. Riolu was apparently very comfortable in Arianna's arms, finally having someone to hold him. Now they just walked along, the sun was almost at its zenith. Arianna at the time was taking the time she had without conversation to think to herself.

"Kynapis." She said suddenly.

"What?" Adrian said, not knowing sho she was talking to.

"Thats what I'm going to call him, Kynapis." She said, refering to Riolu.

"Oh, thats a good name, where'd you come up with that?"

"Its the name of a constellation, I'll show you sometime." She said cheerfully.

Their houses came into view shortly after that, having already planned to meet Arianna's parents he passed his house and contiued on with her. With hr parents being gym leaders now he wanted to at least try and figure out what pokemon they had. When Arianna and Adrian got to her house they were greeted by a Zangoose that had rounded the corner, he flashed a smile at her when he saw her but when he saw Adrian the Zangoose growled and spanned its arms like it was about to charge. This position gave his claws a more menacing look, the black of his claws stood out against the white of his fur, not to mention the fact that they were almost six inches long and razor sharp.

"Calm down you big showoff." Was Arianna's only response, she gave Zangoose a mocked angry look and then looked back to Adrian and burst out laughing when she saw his face. "Sorry, he likes to act like a big tough guy."

Zangoose by this time was laughing tooand said something that Adrian couldn't understand and leaned his head on Draeka to translate. He said he likes giving people a good scare, he says its funny when someone like you gets that horrified look on their face.

"Oh," He looked back at Arianna "You sure he won't bite?"

When Zangoose heard Adrians reply to Draeka he got a sudden look of confusion but returned to laughing when he heard Adrian adress Arianna. Zangoose didn't think to much about Adrians talking to his Dratini, after all he had the same bond with his own trainer. Arianna who was laughing still finally replied.

"No he won't bite, not unless dad tells him to." She told him, giggling now. While they were standing there the front door of the house opened, a woman walked out with a Meganium in tow. The Meganium shot Zangoose an angry glare causing him to lower his head, his cheeks burning almost as red as his ear which showed right through his white fur.

"hey mom."

"Hey Ari, I see you found Adrian." Arianna's mother said with a warm smile.

"Yeah, look what he gave me." Arianna replied walking up to show her the Riolu she was holding. He had fallen asleep about halfway there. He opened his eyes when Arianna held him up a bt, that same look of fear covered his face when he saw Arianna's mother and the Meganium but he relaxed when he realized he was still in Arianna's arms.

"Oh, are you sure you want to give him to her?" Her mother asked looking at Adrian now.

Adrian only shrugged and said. "I have a feeling that he'll be much happier with her."

Arianna's mother looked back to her. "Are you sure you can handle the responsibility? Riolu are very dependant on their trainers so they can evolve."

"I'm sure." She said smiling and holding him closer." I'll take good care of him."

Arianna's mother then looked to her Meganium who in turn gave her an approving nod. "Alright, you have my approval, your father is thinking about building the gym at the opening of the valley, close to the pokemon center."

"Oh he's not here?" Arianna asked disappointed, she was hoping to introduce Adrian to him as well.

"No he and the others." She said gesturing at Meganium, " went to see if they could start plotting out the floor plan."

"Oh, need any help unpacking then?" Arianna then asked.

"No, nothing right now, maybe you could take the time to explore town." Her mother replied.

"I'd be happy to show you around." Adrian chimed in.

Draeka playfully slapped his cheek with her tail. looks like Zangoose isn't the only showoff.

She didn't hear what Draeka said but her face lit up when Arianna heard her mothers suggestion. "Will that be okay" She asked Adrian.

"Yeah, its not like I have anywhere to be and my mom knows me enough to know that I'll be gone for most of the day."

"Ok. Well I won't keep you anymore if you two want to get going."

Adrian remember what Kynapis said before they left to come home. " Alright, well Arianna I'll be right back." With that Adrian ran back to his house, his father had sent him a good amount of money so he could get whatever he would need while travelling. When he got to his room he got enough to buy the four of them breakfast and then went back to Arianna after giving his mom a quick explanation as to where he was off too.

Once back outside Adrian took Arianna to one of the towns public orchards where they grow different berries, because berry plants produced year round there was always an abundance. Draeka got her usual pecha berries which she liked almost as much as he did. Arianna apparently had a liking for pechas as well but also liked aspear and rawst berries which Adrian found a little to sour for his liking. Kynapis found that he liked cheri berries very well also. After Adrian payed for what they picked they all ate until they were stuffed.

Adrian then showed Arianna around a pokemon park, there weren't many trainers but the few that did live there were mostly coordinators or older trainers who've finished travelling. Arianna then told him about how she wanted to be a coordinator, unlike being a league trainer like Adrian wanted to be, being a coordinator was more about showing the beauty behind the power a pokemon is capable of weilding.

After walking around for a while Kynapis decided to start walking with Arianna, Adrian was happy to know he was right, Kynapis was definately more comfortable with her. Although he was happy to see this his attention stayed mostly on Arianna who was now walking in front of him.

You like her don't you?

"No." Adrian immediatly whispered so Arianna couldn't hear, blushing now from the unexpected accusation.

You know you can't lie to me. Draeka continued playfully.

"So? Doesn't mean I can't try." He continued so only Draeka could hear, by all rights she appeared asleep but was simply laying with her eyes closed and enjoying her being able to tease Adrian.

You do like her don't you? She continued as she giggled, her eyes opened which made her laugh more when she saw how red his face had gotten. You don't need to tell me, its painted all over your face.

"Just stay quiet about it okay?" He said back to her. "I don't need you scaring her away the daY I meet her."

Once they reached the end of the road they went to their homes for the night.
