Vulpix was sitting on top of her rock, watching as the white puffy clouds slowly drifted across the sky. she was bored, so very bored, but she had to stay on top of her rock and she had to listen just in case any trainers came by.
"Hey Vulpix!" Elgyem greeted as she floated over to the fox Pokemon.
Vulpix looked over at the physic type."Good morning Elgyem. What do you want?" She asked trying to hide how annoyed she was.
"It our turn to go scavenging for food." She said cheerfully, giving Vulpix a backpack to carry food in.
"I'll go next time."
Elgyem groan. "You said that last time."
"I mean it this time."
Elgyem sighed. "Come on you haven't been scavenging in three months."
"Yeah I know." She muttered. "But if a trainer comes-"
"You know they rarely come to this part of the mountain, it's just going to be a few hours, everything will be fine."
She looked around just to make sure everything was alright before hesitantly nodding her head.
"Great." She smiled. "We leave in ten minutes."
Elgyem was waiting by the entrance to the inside of the mountain. She had been a little over ten now, and she was starting to think her friend wasn't going to show up. She sighed, disappointed that Vulpix would ditch her like this.
She turned around and was about to leave, when she heard someone running up to her.
Vulpix ran up the rock path leading to the inside of the tower. She skidded to a stop in front of the psychic type, taking a minute to catch her breath before apologizing for being so late.
Elgyem nodded. "Don't worry about it, let's go!" She said before walking inside.
Vulpix sighed in relief, before following closely behind her friend.
"Hey Pelipper!" Elgyem shouted making a beeline from the entrance to where the older Pokemon was resting.
"Uhh, yes?" He opened his tired eyes and quickly spotted Elgyem floating towards him. "Oh Elgyem, how can I help you."
"Me and Vulpix would like a ride to the Petalburg woods, we're a goin to scavenge some berries."
Pelipper blinked suddenly aware of Vulpix's presents. "Of course, hope on."
The ride to the forest was long and uneventful. Vulpix kept looking back at the mountain a worried look on her face. "Are they going to be alright?" She muttered mostly to herself.
Elgyem groaned and glared at her friend. "There going to be fine. Stop worrying about it."
She sighed and shook her head before asking: "Hey Pelipper how long until we get there?"
"Not to long, about ten minutes."
The fox Pokemon nodded. "Thank you Pelipper" the older Pokemon smiled as he continued to fly at a constant speed.
They arrived at the entrance to Petalburg woods around noon. "Just tell me when you two are ready to leave, I'm going to take a nap."
Vulpix nodded slightly before turning and heading towards the forest. "See you later!" Elgyem yelled before quickly floating after the fox.
Vulpix stopped in her tracks and quickly whipped around to look at the psychic type. "What!" Elgyem asked.
"Uhh.." Vulpix paused to think for a second before continuing. "You do this a lot right?"
Elgyem nodded. "Yes I usually tag along."
"Good, good..." She pause. "Then you would know where the berries are, correct?"
The psychic Pokemon blink before nodding frantically. "Yes, yes, of course follow me!" She chirped before floating past the fox to lead the way.
They came to a clearing with a few berry bushes. The two Pokemon hurried to stuff as many berries in their bags as possible. "Hey Vulpix is this poisonous?" She asked holding out a berry to the tiny fox.
Vulpix examined it closely before she shook her head and continued picking berries. "Should be fine."
Elgyem nodded and put the berry in her bag before presenting another one. "what about this one?"
Vulpix glared at her friend. "If it's from the same bush as the last one it find." She shook her head and continued collecting berries
Elgyem blink before slowly nodding her head. "Of course, sorry."
The fox nodded and said nothing.
They sat there in comfortable silence for a few minutes collecting berries, until Elgyem spoke up: "Hey, we should get going my bag's full." she said standing up from the lush green grass
The fox pokemon nodded. "Lead the way." She said plainly.
Elgyem smiled wide before floating off into the wood with Vulpix not far behind.
"Were you worried about me?" Shuppet asked a sly smile playing on his face.
Vulpix shook her head and glared at the ghost pokemon. "No, of course not. you can take care of yourself. why should I worry about you?" She growled
Shuppet shook his head and smiled. "Hey Elgyem! Was she worried?" He asked the psychic type.
Elgyem grinned and look over at the duo. "Yeah, she was worried sick."
Vulpix groaned and shook her head as Shuppet let out a laugh. "I can't believe it seriously?"
"Whatever I'm going to take a nap, wake me up in two hours." she mutter before climbing on top of her rock and falling asleep.
