"Guys, I need your help with something." said Aludra as she approached her friends. "Tomorrow I'm going to go into the mountains to find an Aura Stone, and I could find one a lot faster with you two looking as well."
"Yes I evolved, thanks for noticing. Anyway, an Aura Stone you say?" said Tarazed. "What in the world is that?"
"It's some kind of rock." said Rigel. "She wants to find it so she can evolve."
Aludra looked at Rigel with a puzzled expression on her face.
"Have you forgotten already?" said Rigel. "I'm psychic, I can read you. I don't really know how though, and I can't do it to Tarazed for some reason."
"So, do you know where we should look?" Tarazed asked. "Or are we just going to be wandering randomly?"
"According to my dad they're in the mountains." said Aludra. "But we'll worry about it tomorrow."
"Alright," said Rigel. "If we are not going to worry about it, what should we do now?"
"Didn't you tell me you were going to leave home soon?" Tarazed said. "Maybe we could do something about that."
"Yeah, that sounds good." said Aludra. "I think I know a few good places you could set up a burrow."
"Thanks guys." said Rigel. "I think Meissa was going to do that too, and while I won't be leaving right away, looking for a new place wouldn't hurt. Lead the way Aludra." The three friends then walked into the trees, determined to find a home for Rigel.
"Any idea of what you're looking for in a burrow?" said Aludra as she walked toward a small pond. "How about here? I'd say it's a nice place."
The pond and the area around it were very nice and peaceful, with tall trees surrounding it and several berry bushes scattered about.
"I don't know." Rigel said. "I think this was the place that the Tangrowth incident happened, and I don't really want to risk running into that thing. But I'll look around."
"Hoo boy, that Tangrowth." said Tarazed with a shudder. "Why did you have to remind me?"
"Oh yeah, I forgot about that." said Aludra. "Oh well, at least that Deerling wasn't seriously hurt. Ok, let's lokk and then move on."
Rigel walked around the pond and looked through the bushes, seeing all sorts of good things, including the dark green berries he loved. "Hey, Tanga berries!" he said. "I'm thinking this is a nice spot. And here's a place I could dig a burrow!"
"Don't you think you should look around a bit more before deciding?" said Tarazed.
"Why?" Rigel said as he began moving dirt with his paws. "This place is great. But alright, let's move on for now."
After several more minutes of walking, the three passed through a clearing where they saw an Eevee, Ralts, and Wooper running through the tall grass. "Hey Meissa!" Rigel called out to his sister, who stopped and looked in his direction.
"Hi Rigel, what are you up to?" Meissa said as she approached her brother.
"I'm looking for a place to set up a home after I leave." said Rigel. "I think I've found a good place, but I'm looking around some more."
"You're already thinking about leaving?" said Meissa. "What, living with mom, dad, and I not good enough for you?"
"It's not like that." Rigel said. "I'm just getting ready early so I don't have to worry about it later. You're welcome to come with us and find a place for yourself if you want to."
"I think it would be a good idea to go with them Meissa." said Yippy. "You did say that you needed to find a new home. I need to be heading back to my pool anyway, I'm starting to dry up. Do you mind teleporting with me there Emily?"
"Not at all." said Emily as she put her hand on one of Yippy's horns. "So long Meissa."
"Alright, bye guys." said Meissa. "I'll see you later." Emily and Yippy then began to fade, and within seconds were gone. "Ok, I guess I'll go with you." Meissa said. "But it might get dark soon, so we had better get going." The next hour was spent looking through all the good spots to make burrows, but Meissa could not find a place she liked and Rigel still liked the area around the pond. Eventually, they gave up on their search and went back home, where their parents were waiting.
"There you two are." said their father. "We've got dinner here if you're hungry."
"No thanks dad," said Rigel "I already had something to eat while I was out looking for a new burrow"
"So, you're getting ready to leave? You know you can stay longer if you want to."
"Yeah I know, but why not start now? Anyway, I'm going to bed. Aludra wanted me to help her with something tomorrow, and I should probably try to get up early."
