about spending time with Lumia than anything else. This was their journey together, and they'll be able to take it anywhere they'd like!

"I think this experience will only make us grow stronger!~ Getting out of our comfort zones will do wonders for our battle strategies!"

Rosa couldn't help but be on the same page as Lumia here...Sure, all the Pokemon battling was going to be amazing! But she found herself being more excited-

𝑳𝒖𝒎𝒊𝒂, 𝑮𝒚𝒎 𝑳𝒆𝒂𝒅𝒆𝒓 𝒊𝒏 𝑻𝒓𝒂𝒊𝒏𝒊𝒏𝒈! @snowthatshimmers.bsky.social · 7d

"I love it. I was always focused on catching ice types so I could be a real expert as a gym leader. I'm actually pretty excited to see what kind of team I put together without focusing on one type."

She was twice as eager to get camping with Rosa. Though Rosa was still the best part of the trip.

"Of course! Your Pokemon are always welcome to stay with my family!"

Rosa would nod, grinning at Lumia as they talk! She couldn't leave Sushi behind, since it was her number one partner Pokemon after all!

"How about after this we both send our Pokemon over, and then look for others to catch?"

"I see....Sushi, let's go all out from the start! Aerial Ace!"

Rosa points forward as Sushi leaps off of Yang's back, diving right for Sprig! The brunette would then give Yang a command!

"Yang, use Calm Mind!"

Yang took a deep breath, her special stats going up as her mind focused!

🖤✨Champion Of Ideals✨🖤 @idyllicrose.bsky.social · 6d

"Honestly, you're the sort of trainer that I'd love to battle!"

Rosa would admit with a small laugh...Hearing how excited Olivia seemed to get about grass types also got Sushi and Rosa fired up!

🖤✨Champion Of Ideals✨🖤 @idyllicrose.bsky.social · 7d

Sushi would cry out in greeting to Lillie and her Vulpix as well, happily running up to the white fox!

"I see...Maybe observing a few of the local Pokemon might help too? Sometimes observing how they interact with the environment can tell you a lot about what they like about it!"

Lillie Aether @aetherheiress.bsky.social · 7d

Lillie's Vulpix lets out a yip in greeting to both trainer and Pokemon! Wherever Lillie went, the snowy-coated fox was always with her.

"That's right, I'm planning on taking some samples of the soil to the Foundation to see if our scientists can replicate it in some way."

🖤✨Champion Of Ideals✨🖤 @idyllicrose.bsky.social · 7d

Rosa waves right back, approaching Lillie with a smile! Sushi seems to be following right behind the brunette, the Oshawott never being too far behind his trainer!

"A little bit, yeah! Are you here doing research on them for your mother?"

Lillie Aether @aetherheiress.bsky.social · 7d

"Oh Rosa!"

She waves to her with a smile. It had been a bit since she'd seen Rosa, hopefully she was doing well.

"Are you interested in the hot springs too?"

🖤✨Champion Of Ideals✨🖤 @idyllicrose.bsky.social · 7d

It isn't too long before a large shadow is cast over the town, vanishing as soon as it appeared! The brunette soon enters the town, curiously looking around before she spots the other girl reading the signs.

"Lillie! Is that you?"

The brunette would call out!

Lillie Aether @aetherheiress.bsky.social · 7d

Lillie's taking a little bit to read some of the signage around the area. Learning more about this environment could help with creating new environments at the Foundation, right?

"The sand is heated from the hot spring?"

🖤✨Champion Of Ideals✨🖤 @idyllicrose.bsky.social · 7d

She'll likely arrive at the Pokemon Center soon enough then! If becoming more outgoing is something Lillie wants to try doing, then Rosa is definitely a good person to have helping out!

Lillie Aether @aetherheiress.bsky.social · 7d

Lillie's not opposed to it. She has to learn to be more outgoing with other people anyway, so this is a good opportunity!

🖤✨Champion Of Ideals✨🖤 @idyllicrose.bsky.social · 7d

If Lillie is interested in meeting up, Rosa could absolutely make her way over! She's been keeping up with the Aether Foundation's work for a while now....It's all interesting!

Lillie Aether @aetherheiress.bsky.social · 7d

Lillie will be in the region for a fair bit still, she'd really just gone to sightsee, take a little vacation from helping her mother with Aether Foundation work.

🖤✨Champion Of Ideals✨🖤 @idyllicrose.bsky.social · 7d

Lavaridge Town, huh? Rosa can hardly remember the last time she's been there.... She can absolutely agree with Lillie about those hot springs!

Maybe she'll pay the region a visit again soon!

🖤✨Champion Of Ideals✨🖤 @idyllicrose.bsky.social · 7d

"With how much you love Grass types? It's clear to me that they love you back!"

Rosa looks towards her Oshawott for a moment, who nods towards her!

"And if you ask me? That alone shows your potential!"

Lillie Aether @aetherheiress.bsky.social · 7d

So what has Lillie been up to these days?

Well, she's in Hoenn right now. It's a pretty tropical area, and while her fear of bodies of water has prevented her from going too close to the sea, she has found Lavaridge Town to be a great vacation spot.

The hot springs are just divine!

"Osha!"

"Interesting...."

Rosa can definitely tell that Amy has a real sense for battle! Sushi might be in trouble if he got hit by that combined attack!

"But don't forget about Yang! Use Psychic on Sushi! Sushi, use swords dance!"

The Espeon's eyes began to glow, Sushi being lifted out of the danger-

"Of course. I'm assuming Sushi will be sticking with you as your 'starter' for this trip? I'm going to use the PC to send the rest of my team to your family. I'm sure Aurora and Midnight will enjoy the attention hanging of with your Pokémon."

It was always so touching whenever a Pokemon was able to choose their partner....As Rosa saw the way Clover seemed to choose Lumia, she could tell that they'd make a great team!

"I think you two were meant to be together! This journey is only just starting, right? So let's make it fun for-

Clover purred, happy to receive so much love and attention from Lumia and Rosa. Lumia eventually took out a Pokéball, holding out to the cat. "If you want to come with me, I would love to have you on my team, Clover." The cat looked back at the employees, then at the red and white ball. She tapped+

They'd been right about a few things...Not every trainer was kind, but then there were trainers like Lumia, who were able to help Pokemon recover.

"Clover sounds like a great name!"

She'll have to ask Lumia to bring Clover to meet Eclipse sometime....The two would probably bond really quickly.

"I see..."

The brunette would respond, keeping her cool just like Lumia seemed to be doing. This brought back a few memories of Team Plasma and all that they'd done in Unova....

A lot of what they did was wrong, but from a certain standpoint?-

𝑳𝒖𝒎𝒊𝒂, 𝑮𝒚𝒎 𝑳𝒆𝒂𝒅𝒆𝒓 𝒊𝒏 𝑻𝒓𝒂𝒊𝒏𝒊𝒏𝒈! @snowthatshimmers.bsky.social · 10d

The attendant nodded. "She was meant to be, but the family was... not suited for raising her." That was a generous way to put it, Lumia thought, but she didn't want to get frustrated and upset her.

"We were applying for the gym challenge here already," she pointed out, slowly offering a poffin+

🖤✨Champion Of Ideals✨🖤 @idyllicrose.bsky.social · 10d

Rosa makes sure to keep a careful watch on Lumia and the Sprigatito as the two come together. Once the grass type began licking at the gym leader's hand, Rosa would look towards the employee.

"This Sprigatito doesn't look like it has much experience at all...Was it offered as a starter before?"-

🖤✨Champion Of Ideals✨🖤 @idyllicrose.bsky.social · 9d

"Woah, Smoliv! They really are adorable, aren't they?"

Rosa can't help but smile upon seeing the way Olivia began petting one of them. There was a lot of love for the Pokemon there, and she could tell!

"I'm confident that you really will be one of the strongest grass-type trainers someday!"

🖤✨Champion Of Ideals✨🖤 @idyllicrose.bsky.social · 9d

Rosa seemed to study Umbreon's and Sprigatito's stances.....With how composed they were, she could tell that they were well changed!

"That's good to know! In that case, would you mind demonstrating? Come at us with everything you've got!"

🖤✨Champion Of Ideals✨🖤 @idyllicrose.bsky.social · 10d

She'd curiously ask...It sort of reminded her of one of her other Pokemon funnily enough! It just so happened to also be a grass type too...

Well, the Sprigatito was definitely in good hands now that Lumia was comforting her!

Lumia was so clearly feeling for the little kitten. But Rosa suggested she approach the Pokémon and she felt nervous. "I'm not sure if I'm allowed..."

The employee behind the counter was listening, and seemed to recognize the champion. "It would be okay, if you can approach gently. We want her to+

Rosa is currently scrolling through her PokeDex.....Maybe being in Paldea is a good way to fill out more entries?

The Professor is bound to be happy about that! Swapping out her team might really work out in that case!

🖤✨Champion Of Ideals✨🖤 @idyllicrose.bsky.social · 14d

"Alright! How about we find a proper battlefield then? That way you and your Pokemon can really go all out!"

"Osha!"

"Espi!"

Both Sushi and Yang would cry out in agreement, the two being ready to go! Rosa looks back towards her own Pokemon with a small smile!

🖤✨Champion Of Ideals✨🖤 @idyllicrose.bsky.social · 14d

"Really? That sounds incredible! Do you have any favorites?"

Rosa would ask curiously....She'd seen a few of the other regions' grass types, but she hadn't really caught too many of them!
