Gardevoir found herself sitting at the kitchen table, where there wasn't much furnishing in the kitchen either. It was still missing a lot of electronics, and thus only had a refrigerator at most. The stranger she had barely met a few minutes ago came over, placing a small bowl of berries in front of her. She was glad to see a lot of Leppa Berries, having been only eating one or two a day which had been bothering her weight. Immediately, she picked one up and began to eat it. The Leppa Berries had a mix of juicy and spicy flavor. That which she especially enjoyed. "You were asleep for about a day or so. Sorry for startling you earlier. I'm Rob," Rob explained to her. It was obvious that rob had begun moving into the home only recently.
Gardevoir stopped halfway through one of the berries, giving him a gaze, questioning if she had been captured by another trainer. "Garde?" she spoke, Rob not able to process what she meant. The Psychic-Type pointed to his pocket where a great ball was dangling from a chain. She then pointed at herself. Rob took a few seconds to process it. "Oh! No, I didn't catch you. I just can't stand seeing a pokemon hurt and left like that," Rob stated. She was still as free as any other wild Pokémon. She didn't know whether to be relieved or disappointed. It was an odd mood, and the dream from earlier didn't help the strange feelings either.
"I'm guessing you got into a fight with a Pokémon and lost?" Rob tried to guess at what occurred to knock her unconscious. Gardevoir nodded. "Voir…" she insisted that was what partially happened. "Well you're welcome to do what you want. I'll be unpacking," he smiled, not caring if she stayed or left. Gardevoir was happy to at least meet some nice people, as she continued to eat the Leppa Berries, glad to enjoy the tastes they had. "I used to be a berry farmer. I still grow them, but I haven't had the chance to plant any around here just yet," he added, going over to the boxes that were on the counter to put away the various kitchen utensils.
Gardevoir, after finishing her food, wondered what to do now, not exactly sure of her location, let alone what she should do now about her child being gone. She hadn't even thought that plan through sending it with an Abra. She was worried how the Shiny Ralts would fare on its own. She just sighed, getting up from the table. "Garde?" she spoke, getting Rob's attention which made him raise an eyebrow, not sure what she wanted. "Do you need something?" he asked, hoping she could maybe show him some charades to simplify what she wanted. "Do you need another potion for your leg?" he guessed. She shook her head and pointed to the window where some of the neighboring nearby buildings could be viewed, and then scratched her head, putting on a confused face for the charade.
"Uh… you want to know who the neighbors are? Well, one of the homes is empty. These were recently constructed," Rob answered, pulling out a piece of paper from his back pocket and showing it to her. Gardevoir looked at it. It was some kind of home sales office in the advertisement of the paper, being a leftover from the salesperson. "Dear Rob Smith. We are glad you're moving into your new home! We hope you enjoy your new life in Rustboro City!" it read and continued on about how the area was and the status of the neighbors. So far it seemed like only Rob and one other family had moved into the newly built homes. "Garde!" she smiled, glad to know she was in Rustboro City, at least, but she had no idea what to do now.
"Oh, that's what you wanted? Yeah… sorry I couldn't get you to the Pokémon center. But there was some kinda epidemic going on with a lot of trainers bringing in their Pokémon. They got beaten up in the woods, I think?" Rob described, apologizing for not getting her more professional medical attention. If she had worsened in condition, he would have done so. She nodded, knowing how tough the Pokémon in the woods could be. "Do you want me to take you back to where I found you?" he offered, not wanting to let her get lost from her once home environment. But she doubted it was be safe to go back, still knowing how trainers were at the realization they could get a shiny Pokémon, though they didn't know that the shiny Ralts was long gone.
"Garde, Gardevoir," Gardevoir shook her head, not wanting to go back just yet, aside from the worries of the trainers remembering her. She thought it would be safer to extend some time away from her memories and her temporarily new home. "Well, alright. Me and my Pokémon would be more than happy to have you around… oh, that's right! Why don't you meet them," he smiled, feeling dumb for not introducing his Pokémon to her. He pulled the Pokéball out of his side pocket and opened it. A weird round cyan Pokémon appeared. It had four skinny legs, and a yellow cap. It was known as a Surskit, a bug-water type. It stared at her for a second. "Sur-surskit!" it spoke, greeting her. Gardevoir crouched down, shaking one of its skinny limbs in response.
"I know your leg probably still hurts. But would you mind helping me move all this stuff in? I'd hate to have it all wet from the rain tonight," Rob requested. Gardevoir didn't mind, believing if she endured the pain, it will yet go away in a good moment. Surskit was just eager to help its master, and it skittered out the front door. "He's a bit excitable," Rob apologized while they followed it. He was making plans to take her to the Pokémon center for a check up. If there weren't as many trainers at it now. He stayed focused on the task at hand, glad to have some friends to help.
