(I know you said youre taking a break from this game bc adult life and stuff,,, and like, I get that now,,, I might not be as old as you, but I have a summer job and Im taking driving lessons,,, its all scary, I dont get how you can do it >-<)

You pick up the box and Avery and Rose followed you inside. When you opened the box, you found a bunch of lower quality fabric and a bunch of ribbon. It looks like he had just raided his grandmothers old sewing bag and grabbed the largest pieces he could find. There were also some shiny buttons, a few pins in a pyukumiku pin cushion, and at the bottom of it all, a poorly made blue bandana. It was pretty obvious that Oliver tried to make it himself, and clearly wasnt good at it. The bandana was light blue with a deep blue stripe running through it diagonally, it was stitched in somewhat messily, and looked like it could fall apart at any minute, and it had what looks like he attempted to stitch a picture of a mareep on it on the side.

(Its Scary to everyone at first and new things always come along, but I learned my first year of collage ( and I wish I had learned it sooner ) that you should never compromise being yourself for anyone or anything. my Job is hard and has long hours and I come home half dead most days, but I love it none the less, and I love this game and the community that surrounds it, and though it may seem like you never have time, always make time for the things that make you happy, because in the end that's whats important ^^)


Lilly chuckled as she went through the box Before coming down to the bandanna witch made her smile. She thought it sweet and sentimental and decided to get to work sewing the dress and vest out of the new fabric she had Bought as well as sewing with the materials in Olivers box. In the end she a couple of pricked fingers and had sewn a set of Blue, Purple, Black, and Red bows and bow ties, a vest using the sparkly black fabric and the shiny buttons and making a sewn in curchif with the dark blue fabric Scraps
and a sparkly black dress with a light blue bow out of the ribbon at the frilly tail skirt. and she stitched the banana so it wouldent fall apart and looked wearable, while keeping Oliver's Mareep Embroidery the same, only filling in a few gaps here and there. It had taken her the rest of the day and it was just past dinnertime " Man I'm hungry, but what do you think guys!" she said letting them browse her work

(Thanks for the advice,,, Im still kind of trying to figure everything out, though Ive kind of figured out that maybe not everyone is as composed and self assured as they seem like they are, since Im kind of an anxious wreck and apparently people think Im like 18-19 because of how mature I seem, but Ive started trying a lot of new things recently,,, my job isnt very hard and I work short hours, but its a beach job so I always get super hot and kinda sweaty and gross, but I really love my job bc I live like 5 minutes away by bike))

The costumes you made looked amazing, especially with the extra accessories from the scrap box Oliver gave you. You placed the bandanna carefully into your travel bag, not wanting to ruin it while making dinner, but also not wanting to forget it when you left.

The two vulpixes were barking excitedly at the mention of dinner, fairly hungry after all the modeling and practice they had done.

Lilly chuckled and Cooked a simple dinner for the three of them giving avery and rose the bigger portions" we will need to have our energy and our rest for tomorrow " she reminded them as they chowed down

The three of you peacefully ate yours dinners before heading to bed.

Your alarm woke you up around 6:30, which would give you plenty of time to make last minute preparations and packing before you left at 7:30.

Avery and arose were still fast asleep in their beds, sleeping through your alarm. You still planned on walking to the next city for now, even though it was a few miles away, and the walk would probably be very long, you might be able to find a ride around town, since there were plenty of rapidash, tauros, Mudsdale, and other Pokmon for transport in your farming town, and everyone here was fairly friendly. You knew Oliver sometimes rode one of the stoutland he kept on the farm, and even let you ride it a few times, but ever since you fell off that one time and sprained your ankle, you hadnt rode again, despite how sorry both Oliver and the large dog were

Lilly had thought of a ride , but the thought of walking did sound more peaceful, and she might even be able to see some new Pokemon along the way. Her brain swirled with imagination as she packed all they needed and some treats in her backpack, and grabbing a piece of toast and her pokedex before waking the two little fox Pokemon up " Rise and shine, we need to get headed out soon" she said holding the toast in her mouth as she looked through her closet on last time to be sure she had what they needed, packing her competition outfit that she had almost forgotten last minute.

With Avery and Rose now awake, and all of your belongings packed, there was nothing left to do except leave.

It took you almost 30 minutes just to leave town, because even though there wasnt a lot of people living there, it was still a farming town with lots of farmland for crops and Pokmon. You saw some boys racing is the distant fields on their rapidash, and some mudsdale help sow the land for berries to be planted. You also saw some vermin bug types being chased off by someones torracat.

Lilly was enjoying the feash air and all the bustle of the farm town, but she was curious about the big city, what was it like? were there a lot of the same pokemon there? or were they much diffent? she had may questions, which made her pick up her pace to get there sooner, leaving the little town behind her for now

It took a few more hours of travel, but you finally reached Amoria city, where the competition was taking place. Your legs and feet were sore from travel, but the views you saw were worth it.

You knew the pokemon center had a hospitality center to stay at, but you might also have enough money to stay at an average hotel or inn.

The city was huge, with large apartment buildings and department stores and cafes lining every street. You had a map of the town, and you knew that the competition stadium was only a few blocks away.
