Friece yet freindly

     ”Oh, you remember the slip.” He had hoped that she’d forget, but it had happened recently. Chuckling bashfully, he tried not to feel too ashamed. “You said you were going home soon? I don’t think I asked where you were from.”

Kari smiled. “Not too much. I’ve been training Milotic for a little bit, but he must have noticed you were here and went off to find you.” She said, returning Turtwig and Aron to their Pokeballs. Milotic nudged Ash gently, wanting to be petted.

"That’s awesome! Must be getting strong then, huh?" Taking the hint from the water type, he reached to pet her atop her head.

Kari smiled. "All of them are! I even won a tournament a while back." She said. Milotic cooed happily at the petting.

   ”How’d you know I was going to be here?”

Milotic giggled but gave Ash his hat back. Kari then ran up, Turtwig and Aron by her side. “There you are Milotic! O, hello Ash.” She said, waving at her friend.

The trainer chuckled, adjusting his red cap to rest properly atop his head. While careless with many things, Ash was careful to make his prized hat an exception. “Hey there, Kari! What’s up?”

Kari smiled. "Not too much. I've been training Milotic for a little bit, but he must have noticed you were here and went off to find you." She said, returning Turtwig and Aron to their Pokeballs. Milotic nudged Ash gently, wanting to be petted.

"Hey, my hat!" The teen looked left and right frantically before spotting teh sea serpent, a pout fixed on his lips. Why did so many Pokemon try to steal it from him, anyway?

Milotic giggled but gave Ash his hat back. Kari then ran up, Turtwig and Aron by her side. "There you are Milotic! O, hello Ash." She said, waving at her friend.

"Well…shall we go to the market?"
