ARRIVING IN OAKHURST

#ROUTE 1 = Avid meets Pearl

#ROUTE 2 = Avid meets Scott (COMPLETE!), Dropped off a little while away from Oakhurst by Scott, and stumbles upon Ren's cabin. (ONGOING)

The sun was bright and hot, and Sai was soaking up every second. She and Avalon were on Route 3, on their way to Turffield to visit Milo, the gym leader there. They took their time in walking over to see him. He wasn’t expecting them until later than day and Turffield really wasn’t that far away.  Besides, it was a hot and beautiful day, one of the first good days that they had seen in a long time, and she was planning on enjoying every second of it.

She paused in front of the mining tunnel’s entrance, Avalon stopping beside her.  The mine was usually lit up with candles and flashlights, the light catching the shimmer of rocks and the glow of some of the pokemon in it.  But still.  It really was a beautiful day.  She would hate to spend any part of it inside some dark, damp, dirty mine when she could be spending it outside.  Checking her map carefully, she realized that if she hoped the fence of the route and headed straight, she would end up in Turffield in about the same amount of time it would take her to go through the mine…

So it was decided.  “Come on Avalon.  Time for an adventure.” Sai said as she climbed the fence, sliding onto the other side. The blue sylveon made an excited chirp, squeezing underneath and following Sai through the underbrush.  She was always up for some sort of adventure or the other.  When was the last time that they had gone on such a trip?  Probably when they were still traveling through Galar for the first time, back when everything was still shiny and new and unknown.  Though they had had Bucky by their side then.

The bushes crackled and tree branches snapped as they made their way in the unbroken area.  There were more than a few rookidees twittering and flying about, staring at the newcomers.  They were relatively common in this area.  Sai scanned the tree, looking for a flash of yellow.  A shiny rookidee was something that her sister was looking for.  “Maybe we’ll see some new pokemon or another colony of eevees.  I think you and Titan could use a few more friends.” Sai said to her as they walked.

Avalon gave a long chirp and shook her head.  She and her mate had enough friends. She had almost been convinced that Mya, the pink vapoureon that Raihan had caught her, had been putting the moves on her beloved Titan before Simon came along.

Sai giggled at her partner’s reaction.  “Ah come on, Avalon.  It could be fun.  You know, you and Titan could have some group fun, a few poly interactions.  You might even enjoy it-!”

The last part of the sentence was cut off as Sai’s foot slipped, almost plunging her off a deep, sudden cliff.  Avalon shrieked, her ribbons wrapping around Sai and pulling her back to safety as her paws dug defiantly into the earth.

“Ah… thank you Avalon…” Sai panted, looking over at the near disaster.  “That could have been bad… I didn’t know that the mine was cut out of a steep cliff. It doesn’t show anything like that on the map.”  Pulling out the map again, Sai consulted it while Avalon made a worrying noise and looked over at the deep ravine.  Luckily it was just trees and bushes, no rocks that she could see.  No aggressive pokemon that she could sense.  It was just a matter of getting over it.  “Ah.  Well there is nothing on the map, but still, that explains why they want you to go through the mine instead of offroading it like we did.” Sai said, folding up the map and looking at the obstacle.  She sighed softly and got up, beginning to gently ease herself down the slope.  “If we take our time we should be fine,” she told the worrying pokemon.  “Now come on. Adventure time.”

Hours later Sai was lost, tired, and very hungry.  If she ever did adventure time again, she would make sure that she would have a flying pokemon with her to get her out of this situation.  This was insane, how did every tree look exactly the same as the one before then? And why were there no landmarks? She was almost certain that she had been going around in circles for the last hour and a half but couldn’t prove it.

At this point she wasn’t even sure if she was still going up hill or not.

Avalon gave a tired groan and lay down to rest, Sai flopping down beside her.  “Sorry girl. I didn’t think it would be this hard.” She said, gently stroking the pokemon’s ears and ribbons as she debated what to do.  Going back wasn’t an option.  She had no idea what back would be like or where it was.  She still had no cellphone reception. No escape rope or similar poketools either. Maybe she could use fairy wind after Avalon had rested and make some sort of flare? Or maybe someone would come by and be able to show her the way.  There had to be people who lived here.  Someone had to walk by.  She couldn’t be the only one who tried to take advantage of the nice weather and…

“Sai? Avalon? What are you doing out here?”  It was the voice of an angel.  It had to be.  There was no way that…

Sai turned to the male voice, Avalon chirping in relief and joy, jumping up to wind herself through the stranger’s legs.  Dressed in white and green, his large straw hat low on his head, Milo looked like he was having some sort of hallucination.  Sai didn’t hessite.  She had heard him speak.  Getting up, not even bothering to clean herself off, she ran towards him and flung herself into his arms, kissing him deeply.  She had missed him, she had been scared, and now here he was, rescuing her from the big bad forest.

Her eyes closed as she took in the moment.  His lips were slightly chapped and dry from working in the sun all day, his tongue pressing against hers slowly moving past the surprise. His arms wrapped around her waist as he pulled her closer to him, chest to chest.  She couldn’t get enough of him.  She wrapped around him like an aipom, her fingers digging into the muscles of his shoulders as she clung to him, letting her emotions pour out into this kiss.

Finally they broke apart but did not go far, still clinging to one another, rubbing noses with the other.

“I’m so sorry I worried you.” Sai began, smiling against him.  “We were on our way to visit you when we decided not to go through the mining tunnel and wanted to try and walk across the forest instead.  Just to enjoy the sunshine and the day a little more.  But then we got lost and I was scared that I would never see you again and… how did you find us?” she asked him, finally pausing for breath.

Milo blinked and smiled, releasing one had to rub at the back of his head.  “Well… to be honest…” he said, pointing just past him.  Sai glanced to where he was pointing at and, to her shock and slight horror, she saw that his farm was very clearly seen through the trees.

“I was so close…” she whispered in dismay.

“I had been watching you for about thirty minutes.  I thought you were trying to sneak up behind the barn to surprise me but then your face looked terrified and I thought it was best to come out and put you out of your misery.” He chuckled softly, keeping her close to him as his fingers ran through her hair.  

It felt so nice that she almost didn’t realize what he had said.  But when it sunk in…

Sai yelped and gently tapped his chest in slight shock. “You…. You let us both panic for thirty minutes?  Milo! You’re so mean to me! I could have been here ages ago!”
