This entire place was giving off an eerie vibe...As they enter the castle, Sayori would listen to the queen's instructions.

"So I should stay close then?...Yeah, I can do that!"

She'd say, a frown forming as she continues to listen.

"That's sad....Does nobody know what joy is like here?.."

Queen Sonia Nervermind…? @girllovingprincess.bsky.social · 2d

-As the queen walked she had taken notice of the flower. Plucking it with a rough elegance and observing it…it seemed freshly bloomed as well. She tucked it away neatly before continuing. No words spoken for that entire act.

Soon they approached the castle, the gates almost instantly opening. —>

🌻𝘙𝘢𝘺 𝘰𝘧 𝘚𝘶𝘯𝘴𝘩𝘪𝘯𝘦🌻 @cinnabunsmol.bsky.social · 2d

Seeing the state of the kingdom, Sayori would follow more closely...Were the people really that violent here?

Even the dirt path gave an uneasy feeling....But she was safe, wasn't she? She had a new friend after all!

Not too far away, a flower begins to bloom.

"Erm...Right! I'll trust your word!"

🌻𝘙𝘢𝘺 𝘰𝘧 𝘚𝘶𝘯𝘴𝘩𝘪𝘯𝘦🌻 @cinnabunsmol.bsky.social · 2d

"Ehehe... I'll trust your word then!~"

"Pika pi!"

Both Pancake and Sayori would begin digging in as well, regaining more energy after all that running!

Queen Sonia Nervermind…? @girllovingprincess.bsky.social · 2d

-As they walked the kingdom shown its colors more…it was bleak. Very few seemed to leave their homes and the ones that did seemed much more cautious than before…

Dried blood patches along darkened alleys and bloodied weapons hanging from walls suggested a grim atmosphere-

🌻𝘙𝘢𝘺 𝘰𝘧 𝘚𝘶𝘯𝘴𝘩𝘪𝘯𝘦🌻 @cinnabunsmol.bsky.social · 2d

Sayori struggled to get a proper read on Sonia...Maybe she was trying to help her out? She could've just left her to find her way alone after all...

"Mm..Okay!~"

She'll soon follow behind the queen, curiously looking around as her hair trails along the ground behind her. Whatever the future-

🌻𝘙𝘢𝘺 𝘰𝘧 𝘚𝘶𝘯𝘴𝘩𝘪𝘯𝘦🌻 @cinnabunsmol.bsky.social · 2d

"Did you lose your glasses?"

Sayori would ask, giggling a little bit as she watched Mousse. She could feel a certain Poké Ball shaking with excitement from within her bag now that Mousse was here!

"Ah! I'm SO sorry!"

He was a far sighted goofball after all. Without his glasses, he was as blind as a bat inside six meters. He wasn't even apologizing to her - or he was, but he was talking to his bicycle he rode over on.

🌻𝘙𝘢𝘺 𝘰𝘧 𝘚𝘶𝘯𝘴𝘩𝘪𝘯𝘦🌻 @cinnabunsmol.bsky.social · 2d

The greenette looks up from her phone once she hears the familiar voice....perking up before seeing her friend looking at the mailbox with excitement.

"Ehe... That's not me, silly! I'm over here!"

She'll gently tap Mousse on the shoulder!

🌻𝘙𝘢𝘺 𝘰𝘧 𝘚𝘶𝘯𝘴𝘩𝘪𝘯𝘦🌻 @cinnabunsmol.bsky.social · 2d

"Ooh...Do you have more special training in mind?"

She'd ask as the food arrived, eager to know what Mike had planned!

"Pika pika! Pika chuuu!"

"I see...So... it's like a way of talking?.."

Sayori shares a glance with Pancake, before the two look back towards Mike.

"I think I'd like to chase that feeling too!~ These past few battles, it's felt like Pancake and the rest of my team have been really in sync with me! There are a few people-

“The competitiveness… and the bond I have with my opponent…. Sometimes words mean nothing and only through an exchange of fists can you get your point across. That, and it helps me protect my loved ones.”

🌻𝘙𝘢𝘺 𝘰𝘧 𝘚𝘶𝘯𝘴𝘩𝘪𝘯𝘦🌻 @cinnabunsmol.bsky.social · 2d

"Alright! Ehe..."

Sayori would place the orders for both herself and the two Pikachu! There'd likely be some time before the food arrived.

"Hey, Mike? I've been a little curious about something...What do you love about battling?"

"SAYORI!"

He bikes directly towards her, but comes to a stop in front of a mailbox she's standing next to. Looking right at the inanimate object, he smiles with a wild and happy excitement he kept under wraps most of the time. She was one of his few friends, after all.

Queen Sonia Nervermind…? @girllovingprincess.bsky.social · 2d

-The queens brow furrowed upon hearing her laugh, she seemed to some sort of optimist…it always disgusted her. Despair was meant to overflow the world not hope!

Yet she could also see something else in her…an innocence. An innocence that could very easily be abused, be used, be sheltered-

🌻𝘙𝘢𝘺 𝘰𝘧 𝘚𝘶𝘯𝘴𝘩𝘪𝘯𝘦🌻 @cinnabunsmol.bsky.social · 3d

"A queen?..."

Sayori couldn't help but feel a little uneasy with the lack of expression in Sonia's voice...She didn't get the feeling that she was welcome here.

"I...I guess? I mean...It's not like my life hasn't been threatened before?"

A bit of an awkward laugh leaves the greenette's lips.

(I don't tend to do callouts that much, but figured I'd mention because they made a Pokemon account. This Pokemon account is made by the same person who runs that Lindsey Afton account (idk what that is) that got called out earlier this year for lewding minors.

Sayori would call out, Blueberry running over to join Pancake by Sayori's side.

"Pika!"

🌻𝘙𝘢𝘺 𝘰𝘧 𝘚𝘶𝘯𝘴𝘩𝘪𝘯𝘦🌻 @cinnabunsmol.bsky.social · 2d

Blueberry would hop off of Sayori in order to properly greet Crocus, a smile forming on the Riolu's face!

"Rio!"

"Ehe...I'm sure they'll be good friends!~"

Sayori would look up at MC before wandering over to the doors, motioning for him to follow her!

"Come inside!~ I want to show you both-

🌻𝘙𝘢𝘺 𝘰𝘧 𝘚𝘶𝘯𝘴𝘩𝘪𝘯𝘦🌻 @cinnabunsmol.bsky.social · 3d

"Are you sure? Ehe...I really appreciate that, Mike!~"

Once they're inside the restaurant, Sayori would hold the menu up for the two Pikachu to look at all the options.

"Piiikaaaaaa...."

Pancake was already drooling a little bit just staring at the pictures of pancakes!

🌻𝘙𝘢𝘺 𝘰𝘧 𝘚𝘶𝘯𝘴𝘩𝘪𝘯𝘦🌻 @cinnabunsmol.bsky.social · 3d

a smile and a wave!

"Ehe...I sometimes leave Blueberry here to guard the lab, but I do have more Pokemon here too!~"

🌻𝘙𝘢𝘺 𝘰𝘧 𝘚𝘶𝘯𝘴𝘩𝘪𝘯𝘦🌻 @cinnabunsmol.bsky.social · 3d

"Blueberry is a Riolu!~ I actually found him close to where we live!"

Sayori would explain with a smile on her face, now turning to look at MC and Crocus.

"Blueberry, this is MC and Crocus!~"

"Oluuu..."

Blueberry closes his eyes, reading into their auras before finally greeting the two with-

“Oh... uh, hey there.”

You stop awkwardly upon seeing the new Pokémon. You know almost for a fact that's a nickname that Sayori gave it, so there's only one logical step you can take next-

“...what kind of Pokémon is he?”

Crocus seems curious himself, hiding behind one of your legs to peer ahead.

Queen Sonia Nervermind…? @girllovingprincess.bsky.social · 4d

-The queens glare grows…how dare she ask for her name…she should be grateful that she even found her in the first place…but she relented eventually-

“Queen Sonia nevermind…and yes. You trespass onto my kingdom”

-Her voice sounded dead, no emotion whatsoever coming from it. —>

🌻𝘙𝘢𝘺 𝘰𝘧 𝘚𝘶𝘯𝘴𝘩𝘪𝘯𝘦🌻 @cinnabunsmol.bsky.social · 4d

"Novoselic territory?...Oh..My name is Sayori!.."

That didn't sound like anywhere in Kalos...Sayori manages to sit up, her messy green hair sliding on the ground whenever she moves.

"I...don't think I'm from around here? May I ask for your name?"

🌻𝘙𝘢𝘺 𝘰𝘧 𝘚𝘶𝘯𝘴𝘩𝘪𝘯𝘦🌻 @cinnabunsmol.bsky.social · 3d

tail seemed to be wagging up until it began curiously looking at MC.

🌻𝘙𝘢𝘺 𝘰𝘧 𝘚𝘶𝘯𝘴𝘩𝘪𝘯𝘦🌻 @cinnabunsmol.bsky.social · 3d

A building seems to be coming up in the distance, a little blue Pokemon standing in front of the doors almost protectively.....

"Olu? Rio!"

It'd make a dash for Sayori as soon as it sensed her aura approaching, jumping into her arms!

"Blueberry!~ Ehe...I made it home safe, see?"

The Pokemon's-

"Ehehe...."

Sayori makes sure to hold Wendy close to herself, nodding with a small smile on her face.

"I'll be counting on that!~ Why don't we get to bed early then? We won't get any work done if you're this exhausted all the time!..."

Wendy Cedar (Training Arc) @saffroncedar.bsky.social · 3d

"Mmm...w-well..."

It wouldn't do to try and study when she was so exhausted. Wendy knew that Sayori was right. And the idea of more field research with her sounded appealing.

"...alright. You win, Sayo, b-but...I'm holding you to that field research."

🌻𝘙𝘢𝘺 𝘰𝘧 𝘚𝘶𝘯𝘴𝘩𝘪𝘯𝘦🌻 @cinnabunsmol.bsky.social · 3d

Sayori would frown a little bit when she sees the look on Wendy's face....

"Hey...Why don't you rest for now? And then....we can tackle studying tomorrow!~ Ehe.."

She'll wrap her arms around the pinkette, doing her best to comfort her!

"Maybe even with some field research?"
