Mishu frowned as she watched her rodent fighting against the two barbed hares. Akira was a determined Pokemon. She gave her all in a fight, which meant that her heart was within every battle. Though, in her haste, Akira lacked a lot of skill and would often go to the extreme of trying to sacrifice herself for her goals. She chased after the blue rodents, darting out of the brightly lit shed and into the dimly lit night air, and flung herself up into the air. When she landed, Akira had pinned her ‘opponent’ down on the ground with all of her paws and bit down as hard as she could. Her teeth sunk into the prey and she smiled as she listened to a loud snap reverberate around her. “Take that you villainous fiends!” She chattered confidently before stepping back to admire her own work.
Mishu, Mrs. Aberton, and the other two girls were less impressed. The old lady’s eyes widened with terror as she rushed after Mishu’s furry dark grey rodent and waved her hand to shoo Akira away. “What have you done!?” She hissed at the top of her lungs. Thick beads of water swelled in the corner of her eyes and poured down her cheeks in long streaks. Akira hung her head low in shame when she realized she had confidently snapped the neck of a small wooden figurine in half. “This was a one of a kind masterpiece!” Carissa crossed her arms and narrowed her eyes angrily as she walked over to Mishu and tapped the older lady on her shoulders. “My mom paid a lot of good money for that. How are you going to make this right?” She demanded.
Mishu turned her head from her partner to Mrs. Aberton and blushed. She immediately strolled over to Akira and knelt down in the tall grass of her side yard. Mishu’s umber hands gripped her furry rodent on Akira’s shoulder, and she gently lifted Akira’s head up to stare deeply in her eyes. “What you’ve done is not easily forgivable. This is something you need to learn. You cannot be so eager in your need to attack your opponent that you don’t pay attention to your surroundings.” Akira slumped as her whole body collapsed in the ground. Between the poisons seeping into her veins, the pains from her opponent’s previous attacks, and this, it was too much for her to soak in. Her tail fell like a ragdoll’s on the ground and buried itself inside of the tall grasses. Could she even come back from such a horrible mistake? “Return, Akira!” She called.
Mishu would then pull out another Pokeball and stare at it nervously. Yōsei was a tempting choice but he was a handful and would only make matters worse. Quickly, she switched her choice as she pulled Kotaro’s ball out from her pocket and tossed it up into the air with a quick click. The large and powerful canine appeared with wide eyes as he lowered his head between his shoulders, folded his ears, and whimpered softly. What was this strange place and why did the smell of despair seem to cling in the air? Though, when he noticed Mishu and the other humans gathered, Kotaro would relax and slowly lift his head back up. He wagged his tail and began to prance over to the other humans before Mishu stopped him and pointed towards his opponents. “Listen carefully, Kotaro. I need you to be careful of Mrs. Aberton’s items. I trust you more than the others right now…can you do that for me, boy? If so, please attack the smallest Nidoran with a Quick Attack.”
Kotaro rushed after his opponents at the top of his speeds, chasing them even as they tried to run away from him. He would make his trainer proud! Mishu turned around and strolled over to Mrs. Aberton. She held out her hand to gently take the older woman’s in her grasp. “I want to apologize for Akira’s behavior and let you know that I know a simple apology isn’t enough. I’m sure a one of a kind item can’t be easily replaced by money alone. I would like to know what you would like me to do to properly apologize.” Mishu spoke simply and honestly. “And I want to assure you that I will do what I can to make things right.” Mrs. Aberton frowned as she wiped the tears away from her eyes. “First thing I want is for your Pokemon to be more careful when they’re fighting against these wild Pokemon.” Mishu nodded her head as she listened. “Don’t wait until there’s an accident. I can’t replace the items, you see, and I’ll have to live with the consequences of your actions long after you leave.” Mishu couldn’t argue with Mrs. Aberton’s words. She knew she shouldn’t try to point out how the wild Pokemon were already in the shed and how she was just trying to handle that the best she could, either. She only knew that the older lady was correct in her statements. “You have my word. My Pokemon are not the same as a wild Pokemon. I need to make sure both they and I keep that in mind, no matter what the wilder Pokemon are doing.” She stated firmly.

The small blue rodents were easy to chase around Mrs. Aberton’s yard. Kotaro moved with ease as he knocked out the smaller Nidoran, only to watch another one appear from the densely pack forests around the older lady’s home. It easily scaled over the fence with a single leap and rushed over to stand beside its partner as it pawed at the ground. “I’m here to help, Nidoran!” This tiny poisonous hare spoke bravely and dug its feet into the hard dirt and grassy earth of Mrs. Aberton’s yard. The larger Nidoran eyed its new counterpart warily and wondered if it would be strong enough against these monstrous Pokemon that the humans kept sending after them. “I’m just trying to escape and they won’t let me leave!” It whined at the top of its lungs.
Kotaro’s ears pricked as they flipped back and forth to listen to both conversations carefully. He immediately understood what happened through the dialogue and the given surroundings of the area. The long legged fox’s face fell grimly as his bright orange eyes flickered their gaze from one of the blue rabbits to the other. “Your friend ventured into this lady’s yard,” Kotaro gestured towards Mrs. Aberton with a nod of his snout in her direction. “And it sounds like she’s ruined some of her belongings. Though, it also sounds like Akira helped with that.” The two rodents twitched their long whiskers and turned to stare at each other for a moment. “So?” The smaller one asked Kotaro daringly. “Just let her leave and we won’t ruin anything else? Isn’t that obvious?!” She demanded to know.
Mishu studied the battle and scratched her chin thoughtfully. Another blue rodent appeared nearly identical to the last one save for its smaller stature and size. Were the woods around the area commonly filled with so many Nidoran? “How common are they?” She turned to Mrs. Aberton and Carissa and gestured towards the small poison rabbits as they darted across the grassy yard. They made a beeline to Mrs. Aberton’s backyard. The two jumped over each other with their long ears seemingly flapping in the wind. “Hurry!” The larger Nidoran called to its small friend. She craned its head to look behind herself as her feet kicked underneath her and sent her spiraling across the grassy ground. “I think he’s gaining on us!”
Kotaro jumped out in front of them, blocking the two Pokemon from getting close to Mrs. Aberton’s garden. His lips curled back as he lowered himself down and flashed long, white teeth in a vicious snarl. “See? This is what we mean! Don’t you see that garden over there?!” Kotaro nodded towards the garden behind himself. Without a second thought, he lunged at the smallest rodent and would try to swipe the Nidoran with his long, clawed paws, hoping to steal anything that the Nidoran might be holding onto. “How would you like it if someone just took your stuff and broke it or trampled it with their feet?!” Kotaro demanded to know. The two Nidoran came skidding to a halt and gulped as they stared up at the angry Thievul. “Well…ugh…” They stumbled over their words.
Mrs. Aberton studied the two Pokemon carefully and smiled when Kotaro prevented the wild Nidoran from causing more destruction in her garden. It was a strange question to ask. Nidoran were nearly as common as the leaves on the trees around them, and definitely as much of an often seen sight around the surrounding route as the black dogs she’d fought earlier. “We see quite a few of them nearly every day, why?” She asked Mishu with a tilt of her head. Mishu turned to watch the fight with bated breath as they ran towards Mrs. Aberton’s garden. When Kotaro corralled them away and protected the older lady’s plants, Mishu would breathe a sigh of relief. “Hmm…ok. Then it makes sense why we’re seeing so many. Still…I wonder. Why haven’t see seen the Pokemon that’s been terrorizing your gardens the most…?” She mumbled underneath her breath. Was there something else she was missing from this puzzling mystery?

Mrs. Aberton tilted her head with a puzzled look. What was Mishu trying to figure out? Wasn’t it a good thing if that monstrous Pokemon never came back to her yard? She doubted that Mishu wanted to specifically bring the beast back, since she was sent here by the Professor to investigate the matter and had been endorsed by Bugsy himself. There had to be more to it than that. But she couldn’t seem to follow the girl’s logic. “I’ll be glad if it never comes back!” She hissed, folding her arms firmly over her chest and glancing off towards the wooded route in the distance. Maybe it finally figured out that it didn’t belong around human developments and had left her yard alone for good!
Mishu nodded her head firmly. She knew where Mrs. Aberton was coming from and hoped the same was true for the older lady’s sake. It would be a lot easier to solve the mystery if she could just chalk it up to some freak incident that only happened for a brief moment and never occurred again. However, if the wild Pokemon was willing to strike the area several times in the past, it was a good indicator that it would strike the area several more times to come. “I’d love to agree with you…” Mishu spoke slowly but firmly, getting both Mrs. Aberton and her daughter to turn a raised eyebrow in her direction. “But what if it attacks after I leave? This is why I am not so sure it’s safe to assume it just won’t make an appearance.”
Mrs. Aberton and her daughter turned their heads to each other an exchanged worried looks. Mishu was absolutely correct! They’d tried a few times to scare it off and couldn’t quite get it to leave them alone. What if they turned her away, and that’s when the beast chose to strike? What if it was watching and waiting in hiding for the perfect moment to strike? “I’ve never seen it strike with us out here before…do you think that has something to do with it?” The blue haired educator thought quietly to herself as she scratched her chin and considered Mrs. Aberton’s words. Maybe they were the problem in the mess? If that was the case, then she would need to station all of her Pokemon around Mrs. Aberton’s yard carefully and trust them to investigate and find the culprit without her help.
However, that would also mean trusting them not to damage any part of Mrs. Aberton’s garden or her personal belongings. A tall order for some of her Pokemon. “I want to see what happens after we get these Nidoran to leave your garden alone.” She admitted with a firm nod towards the two that Kotaro currently had cornered off as he defended Mrs. Aberton’s garden from being trampled once again. “If it won’t come out while we’re around, then I may have my Pokemon prepare a trap of sorts to try and lure it out.” Mrs. Aberton and Carissa leaned in close to listen to Mishu’s plans with wide, interested eyes.
Kotaro growled at the Nidoran and chased after them as they darted all around Mrs. Aberton’s yard. What was this?! Some kind of game of whack-a-mole?! He wanted them to keep still or perhaps to scurry off and away from the area. When they attacked back – one with sharp, poisonous barbs while the other simply wagged its tail – Kotaro knew that it wouldn’t be as easy as he’d hoped for. “If you just want to escape, then hop over the fence.” He gestured to the back of the yard where the fence met with the woodlands nearby. “And be quick. But know that I will have to stop you if you try to – Wait!” Kotaro kicked his feet off the ground and rushed at the smallest Nidoran’s side as quickly as he could to try and knock her away as the small hare tried to jump inside of Mrs. Aberton’s garden.

Kotaro managed to easily take out the smaller Nidoran with a powerful blow to her side. The small blue hare rolled across the grassy ground of Mrs. Aberton’s backyard with a loud thud. It squealed, kicking, and clawing with its sharp nails as the pain coursed through its veins. The small hare twisted and writhed in the ground, kicking up clumps of grass with tufts of dirt and sand. It immediately rolled back onto its legs and lifted itself up on shaky legs before collapsing back down on the ground with a loud groan. “That…OAF…hurt…OAF…a lot!” It cried out and curled back around to lick its own wounds before collapsing on the ground.
The smaller Nidoran’s eyes widened in alarm. Nidoran rushed after the long legged red fox and fired sharp poisonous barbs from her spiky hide. The barbs stung as they hit Kotaro in his sides and all along his legs. He jumped back and hissed with a loud yelp from the pain. The poison seeped from the wild hare’s barbs and coursed their way through his veins, causing Kotaro to howl and whine. It hurt so bad! He licked at the spots where the barbs struck him, trying to lick away the poison and the pain. It hurt so bad! Large orange eyes looked soulfully in Mishu’s direction. He was done fighting them! He wanted out and now!
Mishu bit her lower lip and tapped her foot against the ground as she watched her red fox tussling with the wild blue hares. It was difficult to see which way the battle would end up. She was sure that Kotaro had enough strength and stamina to manage and climb his way out of the fight successfully no matter how many of the wild hares decided to try to jump him from the surrounding forest. Though, the poisons that they possessed made planning such inevitabilities murky at best and caused her to second-guess her assumptions. Mrs. Aberton blabbered on, though the words were drowned out by Mishu’s own thoughts.
She needed Kotaro to help her with her plans. Could he hold on a bit longer to see this fight to the end? If she wasted the first of this round healing her red fox then both of the wild hares would manage to double up on him as they attacked him while his guard was down. She wasn’t so sure that it would be the smartest play for them, though she hated to see her Pokemon suffer from Nidoran’s sharp barbs. “Hey…Hey! Mishu? Mishu?!” Mrs. Aberton waved her hands and called out loudly to the blue-haired educator, causing Mishu to spin around with a tilt of her head. “I was asking…is he going to be alright?” Mishu blinked and followed Mrs. Aberton’s gesture as she pointed towards Kotaro with a worried expression.
“I believe he can manage…” She nodded her head, pulling her bag into her hands and yanking on the zipper. She opened the bag up wide and began digging around inside of its contents quietly. Mishu weighed the consequences of healing earlier on with the consequences of healing later in the fight or holding off to see if Kotaro would manage until the end of the battle. “Though, I think I may need to wait first to whittle the fight down to just one Nidoran. Do they show up in larger crowds?” Mrs. Aberton’s eyes glossed over as she stared at the three battling Pokemon and scratched the bottom of her chin. Kotaro lowered his body and swished his tail behind him as he rushed after the original Nidoran to try and quickly take it out. “It’s rare. Usually they come in groups of three, and in waves. I’m sure there will be more soon, but this may be the last of this wave.” Mrs. Aberton admitted with a furrowed frown.

Something Mishu mentioned earlier caught Mrs. Aberton’s attention. She studied the remaining poisonous blue rabbit with mild interest as she mulled over Mishu’s words carefully. How would the blue haired educator pull off her plans and how could Mishu ensure that all the Pokemon she used for her plans would play along perfectly well without terrorizing Mrs. Aberton’s garden further? She didn’t like the idea of allowing Mishu’s unruly rodent back out and wasn’t sure there were that many places around her property where Akira’s hasty nature wouldn’t cause any sort of destruction. “Hey…Mishu?” Mrs. Aberton called out, walking closer to the educator as she leaned in. “What were you planning to set up exactly with your Pokemon?”
Mishu blinked for a second as Mrs. Aberton called her. She tried to divide her attention between the wild blue hares that faced off against her tall fox and the older lady. It was difficult to do. Mishu’s head felt like it was on a swivel as she turned from one to the other, constantly shifting her gaze. Could Kotaro handle the last of the furry rodents on his own? Their poisonous quills were something else entirely, as well. She didn’t like the way Kotaro seemed to stumble about and shake his head as though the poisons were seeping further into his bloodstream. “Hmm? Yes?” She responded casually as Mrs. Aberton called out to her, then listened closely to the older lady’s questions.
“Oh! Well…I wanted to station my Pokemon strategically in your yard so that they could search around for the mystery Pokemon without our interference. I think that would help us the best…” Mishu explained, hoping that would be enough to answer Mrs. Aberton’s question and satisfy any concerns that the older lady had. Though, as Mishu watched Mrs. Aberton’s face contort into a strict frown, Mishu knew that what she had planned wouldn’t work entirely as expected. “Oh…well…” Mrs. Aberton scratched the bottom of her chin with one hand and folded the other on her hip while shaking her head. “I’m not so sure that’s…uh…”
Carissa walked over and placed one hand on her mother’s shoulder while folding the other on her hip. She almost looked like a spitting image of her mother – pose and all – in that moment. Mishu’s pupils dilated in surprise at the striking similarity between the two. “What my mother means…is…” Carissa began slowly, taking deep breaths and emphasizing the pronunciation of her words. Mishu could tell that the younger lady was taking her time thinking out what she wanted to say and phrasing it carefully. “Some of your Pokemon might not be the best…left alone…ya know?” She gestured towards the shed with a raised eyebrow.
Oh! Mishu nodded her head as she turned her attention back to the shed and watched Kotaro kick off the ground, rushing towards his opponents at the tips of his feet once more. “Kotaro will monitor the grounds for us. You have my word that he will not harm your garden nor your items.” Mishu nodded towards the lithe fox, to which both Carissa and Mrs. Aberton smiled in relief. She was glad to see that Kotaro had earned their seal of approval. “I wanted Suraimu to help by setting up barriers around everything that was important to you, as well. Like he did to keep them out of your garden once before? And Karasu to survey from the skies, keeping well away from your stuff.”
Mrs. Aberton hummed underneath her breath and exchanged a look with her daughter, who slowly nodded her head. “Hmm…yeah…alright. Yeah! Those three may work. Not your rat, though, right?” Mishu raised an eyebrow towards Carissa’s question. She couldn’t blame them for asking about Akira and for wanting her to be kept out of Mrs. Aberton’s yard. Akira hadn’t exactly won any favors by their hosts and might have almost cost Mishu the entire investigation. She simply shook her head and spoke up to dispel their fears. “No, Akira will sit this one out. She isn’t suited to work around delicate situations.” She admitted wholeheartedly.

Mrs. Aberton considered Mishu’s offer carefully. Kotaro seemed to be the most trustworthy Pokemon that the blue-haired lady had introduced so far. The older lady wasn’t fully convinced that allowing her Pokemon to walk around her yard without someone to monitor their behavior was the best way to handle the situation. “Well…” Could she trust them? Would you trust them? Allowing Pokemon, no matter how trained, to walk around freely was no different than opening the front door and letting any old pet wander around unsupervised. “Maybe we can each watch them through the windows inside…?” Sure, some people were perfectly fine letting their Pokemon get into anything and everything but to Mrs. Aberton didn’t quite agree with that mentality.
Mishu nodded her head thoughtfully. She had to make sure that Mrs. Aberton was on her side, after all. There was a chance that this plan wouldn’t work. What would happen to that trust if it didn’t work and her Pokemon destroyed anything simply because they turned a blind eye all in the name of hope? She wasn’t sure that she would be welcomed to do much else if something like that happened. “Yes. I do like that plan. If we do that, then…where are the entrances and exits around your house?” She asked Mrs. Aberton, though Mishu assumed it was only the front and back doors. Mrs. Aberton helped enlighten Mishu’s suspicions by confirming them to be true. “Oh, it’s just the front door that you came into my house through and the back door we came out of. Why?”
Mishu turned and stared at the large, rectangular structure. There were many windows – with two on each side and four on the front and four on the back. Each of the windows were connected to a different room, and a different wall in a room for some rooms that had multiple windows. It dawned on the educator that she could simply station the older lady and Mikayla at two windows near the sides of the building and have Carissa and herself monitor the doors. Carissa had a hotter head than her mother and was prone to react a bit faster. At the same time, Carissa used more logic and reasoning behind each of her decisions than Mrs. Aberton and allowed her emotions to sway her a little less overall. “For this to work, I will introduce you each to the Pokemon I’ll be using as guards and make sure they know to mind you as well as they mind me. I needed to know the ways in and out of the house.” Mishu explained to Mrs. Aberton.
A loud thud resonated as the ground shook underneath them from the impact of Kotaro’s fall. The large legged fox howled in pain and jumped back up with a slight limp where the Nidoran scratched and tore into his flesh. Bits of the skin folded and buckled as thick globs of bright crimson blood bubbled and pooled to the top. “Oh, Kotaro!” Mishu rushed over and pulled out a small red spray bottle with a bright orange cap. Mishu would carefully and diligently spray down all of Kotaro’s wounds, making sure to fully coat her Pokemon with the medicinal liquids. “Here you go, boy! That should make you feel a lot better! Please hurry your current battle up. Are you able to continue the fight?”
Kotaro glanced from Mishu to the small poisonous blue hare and blinked thoughtfully. Did he want to continue? Absolutely not. But he knew that she was counting on him and that if he simply turned away from this now, then it would force her to choose someone else. Given the way the humans all spoke to each other, and how Mishu seemed to walk on eggshells with some of her words, Kotaro was nearly positive that she was relying on him to handle the situation with a bit of a delicate dance in the battle. He nodded his head and wagged his tail, licking Mishu’s face enthusiastically, before turning back around and rushing after the Nidoran at the top of his speed.

The tall fox’s sharp eyes narrowed in frustration. Why was this wild hare still here, wandering around inside of Mrs. Aberton’s yard, if it only wanted to find her way out? He snarled and lowered his head between his shoulders. Kotaro dug his claws into the soft dirt earth underneath him and ignored the long blades of grass that gently tapped against the sides of his legs. The poisons that seeped inside of his veins hurt, causing him so much pain and some confusion as he tried to understand his opponent’s motives. Was the small rabbit scared out of its wit’s end? Did it only want to escape and run as far away from here as possible? If that were the case, then why didn’t it do so as soon as it had the opportunity to?!
Mishu kept a close eye on her companion as she nodded her head and listened to the other ladies work together on a plan with her. They loved the idea of helping Mishu control her own Pokemon within Mrs. Aberton’s yard. Who could blame them, though? The way Akira tossed and tumbled around everything as though she had no regard for anything else other than the fight was proof enough that Mishu wasn’t as trustworthy as she claimed to be. Even if it was a mistake that the experienced educator had made initially, it was one that would cost her dearly in the long run. She wouldn’t try to argue or deny the feelings that the other ladies may have regarding the situation. “I believe I should monitor the back door and keep vigilance there. You said it likes yours garden the most, right?”
Mrs. Aberton nodded her head as she stood there, still reserved about how she felt when it came to Mishu. The plan sounded solid enough, and most of the Pokemon she mentioned using sounded like they were good candidates. She hadn’t seen the bird much – if at all – though. “And I’ll stand by my bedroom window on the west end?” She asked tentatively. Mishu nodded her head and the older woman smiled softly. She didn’t want to be the one to have to rush out if things got heated. She wasn’t even sure she had the strength to do much more than complain and cry when things went wrong anymore. But she still owed it to her late husband to ensure that nothing else went wrong as they planned and schemed away. “We will get to meet each of the Pokemon first, right?” Mrs. Aberton questioned with a worried voice.
Mishu walked over and placed a gentle hand on the older woman’s shoulder. Carissa studied Mishu hard as she did so, folding her hands silently over her chest. She wouldn’t say anything yet, just watch and listen. Though Mishu watched Carissa’s movements silently with a smile, she knew that the other woman was just waiting to hear her chastise her mother or treat Mrs. Aberton like some child or other naïve person. “You have my word.” Mishu then straightened herself back up and turned back to the fight with the remaining Nidoran as she mused. “You all have my word. If, for any reason, you don’t trust one of the Pokemon we have planned for this…then I won’t use them. Does that work for you?” She asked them genuinely, glancing back to see the three women slowly nodding their heads together. Kotaro shot off from the ground like a dart through the night air as he chased after the other Pokemon and tried to slam his side into the wild Nidoran’s to knock it as close to the gate as he could manage. He needed it to run away with its friends and never return!

Kotaro slammed a paw into the nidoran who was sent rolling backwards and out through the gate. It jumped to its feet and took off, never casting one glance back at the garden where it had been trapped.

It felt so strange and surreal to Mishu that she hadn’t managed to stumble upon the elusive Dark Pokemon that was known to terrorize the local residents of Azalea Town. Was it off rummaging through someone else’s garden and she had simply wasted all of her time in Mrs. Aberton’s yard? If Mishu chose to pack up and discard all of her hard work now, what would happen if it showed up later while she was away? Mrs. Aberton and her daughter were still more than willing to work with Mishu, so she felt she at least owed it to them not to give up the chase. At least, not yet. But would she continue this trek past the darkness of the night and into the wee hours of the morning?
She craned her head and studied the moon, noting silently how it slowly drifted through the dark midnight blue skies above towards the horizon line. They had a few hours of night left, though it wasn’t as long as Mishu would have liked. She spun her head back around as she pulled out the other two Pokeballs and unleashed her large bird and the sentient pile of sludge out of their Pokeballs. Karasu cawed loudly and swept up high into the air on her long black wings, before swooping back down and landing on Mishu’s shoulder with a satisfied smile. Suraimu stretched himself up into a tall, nearly two-dimensional shape, and waved his entire being eagerly at Mrs. Aberton, Carissa, and Mikayla.
“So…this is…” Mrs. Aberton pressed her head close to Karasu, who flapped her wings nervously before settling back in place on Mishu’s shoulder. Mishu gritted her teeth and muttered in pain, “Owch!” She turned her attention towards Karasu with a pained look as Karasu dug her nails uncomfortably into her shoulders. Didn’t her Pokemon know their own strength?! Mishu patted Karasu’s legs gently with a single finger, causing the bird to release her grip on her trainer’s shoulder. “…well that’s Suraimu…” Mrs. Aberton gestured towards the Alolan Grimer. “…and that’s Karasu…” She nodded towards the long-legged Thievul. “…so that’s Karasu?” She asked. Mishu nodded her head and gestured towards them to meet her Pokemon, warning them not to physically touch Suraimu because of his ability.
Mrs. Aberton reached a hand nervously out towards Karasu, who gave a loud shrill call before flying up into the air to hover above them. She stared firmly at the older woman with a wary look. “Karasu…it’s alright…” Mishu reached out to her bird, calming her down. She helped Karasu settle back down onto her arm and carefully introduced Karasu to Mrs. Aberton by showing Mrs. Aberton how use slow and careful movements that wouldn’t startle Karasu as she introduced herself to the blackbird. Eventually, Karasu allowed Mrs. Aberton to gently stroke her chest and beamed with a bright smile. “Yes that’s correct. Karasu is the best Pokemon I can trust other than Kotaro and Suraimu.” Mishu promised, turning her attention to her bird.
Carissa stroked Kotaro and sat on her mother’s lawn as the long-legged fox curled his legs underneath his body and rested his head on her lap. After some time, they would reconvene together while the Pokemon wandered around the open yard. “They’re all pretty docile and friendly enough.” Mrs. Aberton commented with a gulp. “But how can we trust them alone?” Mishu called to her Pokemon, gathering them over to her side. “Hey everyone! This is Mrs. Aberton, her daughter Carissa, and Carissa’s girlfriend Mikayla! I need you to listen to them for the time being, as well as me, ok? We’re looking for an elusive Pokemon that’s been plaguing Mrs. Aberton’s belongings. Do you all understand?” Mishu asked them, and smiled when they all nodded both towards their trainers and towards the other humans she’d introduced them to.
