"I grew up in a Pokemon gym," Hiruka confessed this easily. However, Li seemed to scoff at her words, knowing there was more behind her unique understanding of Pokemon than just being a gym leader's child. "I'm actually only here on an errand for my father in Azalea."

"Meaning you still only have Spinny with you, right?" Li heard a giggle when he said this. "Should've figured."

"hey, are you guys hungry too? As I said, you should eat enough too." The girl began to smile again. "Pokemon notice when their trainers are in trouble you know. Even if you're just hungry, if they notice it they'll start to worry. I know! You don't have much food since there aren't many berry trees here, right? I'll give you some from my pack for now." Hiruka smiled, pulling some more food out of her pack- a container full of Pokemon food as well as a container of regular pastries for the two boys.

"It's not much, but I hope it'll hold you over until you can get to the next Pokemon center. They'll help feed you too, for free. Pokemon centers really are wonderful that way."

"Yep. A free bed, food and Pokemon healthcare. Unless you're a tree freak like Hiri, you're in heaven when you find a center."

"Even I like a nice soft bed sometimes, Li." Hiruka scoffed. She smiled and watched the pokemon eating, however soon felt a slight tinge. She called to the wild pokemon. "Sorry for startling you, guys. But sentret, you come here for a minute."

She walked slowly towards the Pokemon in question, taking it into her arms when it accepted. "Hold still. It'll only hurt for a second, I promise." She lifted it's foot and pulled a small needle out of it, quickly. The pokemon yelped and relaxed quickly. "There you go. All better."

"They may be scared of you but they'll still let you give them aide. You must be relieved by that, huh?" Li smiled slightly. He then looked at the two boys. "My name's Li. I'm a trainer like you guys. The girl is Azalea Town's gym leader's kid, Hiruka. She's a little strange, but you can count on her to help you out if you ever run into her again. She's always up to helping trainers, even if she doesn't like to be thought of one herself. You can find her all over doing errands."

"It's not that I don't like to be thought of one, I'm just not one. I travel doing errands. It's not like I'm taking a gym challenge or anything. I just help out when I can. What I really want to be is a breeder anyway." Hiruka smiled. "What are your names, by the by? You may have just started as trainers, but your Pokemon trust you a lot already. I think that's fine proof that you're doing something right, don't you?"
