  I slowly open my eyes and take a few moments to gather myself. I zily sit up and look around, still half asleep, looking for Skadi or one of my plushies and w why my room looks so empty. After nearly a full minute, my brain finally catches up with the rest of my body and I realize I am no lo home and I stayed in a Poketer st night. As I remember st night, I finally fully woke up and rushed towards the door so I could go chey Pokemon. I make it to the door and partially open it before remembering that I am still in my post shower state. I quickly close the dain and with my face glowing crimson and pick up my dress from where I hung it up the night before and put it on.

  Now that I resentable again, I grab my phone and strap my bag to my thigh before heading down to the lobby. As I reach the lobby, I notice that it is much er than it was when I left st night, despite the new ingress and egress options for the Poketer. The lobby itself is deserted except for Nurse Joy who is manning the desk while a few pokemon tinue ing up.

  “Good day Frost. Thank you for your assista night. I hate to think what could have happened if you did not assist.” Greeted Nurse joy with a smile on her face as she bowed to me slightly.

  “Oh, it was no problem at all.” I quickly replied while waving my hands to show it was no issue. “I just did what anyone would do in that situation. How are my Vulpix and Fletg?”

  “Your Vulpix was just tired and woke up not too long ago, just like her trainer.” Nurse Joy smiles at me knowingly. “Fletg will still need another day to heal up properly. Her wings were broken wheacked that Koffing so we are just making sure she is healed properly before releasing her back to you. I will get Vulpix for you.”

  I breathe a sigh of relief at her words. I was still worried about Fletg but I knew she was in good hands. Nurse Joy stepped away a into the bad a few moments ter with Skadi in her arms. When Skadi saw me, she excitedly jumped from Nurse Joy's arms and into mine. I give her a tight hug, happy that she is back.

  “Pix~! Vul Vulpix!”

  I smile warmly at Skadi. “I missed you too sweetie.” I turned back to Nurse Joy before speaking again. “Seeing as how Fletg still needs another day, I will be staying tonight as well. In the meantime We will go out and explore the city, it is our first time here.”

  “I shall see you when you return. Have a good day out!” Nurse Joy bows again befetting back to work.

  While still holding Skadi and enjoying her fluffy tail which is back to its pristine white color we head out of the Poketer. As I step outside I take a look around at the city that I didn’t pay much attention to st night. I do notice that my eyes don’t seem to o adjust to the bright sunshine as it was just as bright ihe Poketer as it is currently outside. After taking a few moments to look around I picked a random dire and started walking. The city during the day was pletely different than it was at night.

  I spot a number of stalls and shops selling different goods as well as a number of small outdoor cafes. I notice a few shops that seem to be selling what I would sider as Idol merch. There are various pins, posters, shirts, towels and just about anything that could be printed on that had different faces on them. I do notie that look like thia that seem to cover most of one wall. I smile slightly to myself and shake my head, it doesn’t matter where you go in the universe, there will always be someorying to make some money from someone else’s fame.

  Walking along the street while petting Skadi, I just ’t get enough of her fluff some days, my ches the st of heaven and hell. That delectable smell of sweet things full of the evils of carbs. I put up a token amount of resistance about following the st, before letting my nose lead me to my demise. A short while ter, I am standing in front of a gss dispy case showing every type of heavenly treat uhe sun. There are slices of pies with all sorts of fillings from fruits that I identify and those I have no idea about, yered cakes of all colors and decorated in picturesque ways, cookies of every fvor, mini fruit tarts and the list just keeps going on and on.

  “Skadi, I think I died ao heaven.” I whisper quietly while trying not to drool. I set Skadi doull out my phone and start taking a few pictures of the sele. I am so absorbed with the sweets in front of me that I don’t notice a pokemon that hopped on top of the dispy case.

  “Alcremie!” The pokemon shouts out like it is calling out hello to a er.

  “Wah!” I jumped and stumbled backwards slightly because I was startled. What I saw okemon that stood about one foot tall and looked like it was made out of cream with two strawberries on its head like an ice cream suhe pokemon giggles at me which causes me to blush slightly. A moment ter I hear a deep chuckle ing from nearby.

  “Wele to Sugar & Spice! Sorry about spooking ya, but ya were too absorbed in my treats to notice me.” Said the deep voice from behind the dispy cases. I look up to see a brown wall of muscle and beard. He must have stood at nearly six foot five and was built like a house made of muscle. Most of his face was hidden by a thick, well kept beard but I could see that he was smiling at me by his eyes.

  My face couldn’t help but feel like it was on fire. “I’m sorry about that. Everything is just so pretty that I couldn’t help but be mesmerized by it.” I reply sheepishly.

  “Oh it is no problem. Anything I could get for you?”

  Those six words just seo my own kind of hell as now I had to make a choice. It took me nearly an hour to actually decide on what to get, but I was able to get a treat for Nurse Joy, my pokemon and myself. Now that I was a huwenty Poke lighter in my wallet I took my spoils of war and quickly left the store. Before I left, I did s the odd pokemon as I had never seen anything like it.

  [Alcremie, the cream pokemon]

  [The cells that pose its cream fluctuated suddenly during evolution, giving the cream a sweet and tart fvor. They say that any patisserie visited by Alcremie is guaranteed success and good fortune.]

  [This Alcremie is female]

  Maybe if I e across one of these iure, I might catch it due to how cute it was. Even though I pn to be aype trainer, cute things should always be cherished just like fluffy things. That is just the way the world works! After walking for a little bit, I e across a Pokemart and decide to go in. It never hurts to see if I need something I might not have thought of to pack. I already had a popup tent, a sleeping pad and sleeping bag, a mess kit, a first aid kit, and a few meals for my pokemon and myself.

  While looking through the different s for sale I found some that would almost be sidered luxury items. I found an thuone powered ntern, a small cook stove that uses a fire stoo produce fmes and a small thermos that uses a water stoo keep itself full of water. Eae costs two thousand five hundred Poke, whiost rainers is out of their price rahe league gives every trainer, when they register for the first time, ohousand Poke so they buy potions and such for their pokemon. Grandpa gave Gary and me another housand Poke so he didn’t o worry about us.

  After a few minutes of thinking, I decided that having those would be much more vehaher alternatives. For me, cooking by using a fire would be the best thing to torture for me as I don’t know if my ice would be able to repel that much heat. The thermos would give me water to cook with or drink and the ntern is self expnatory. I look at the different designs avaible and I decide to keep with my snowfke motif. After I grab my items, I make my ast the fishiion and pick up a colpsible rod and lure set for an additional three hundred Poke. As I head towards the register, I e across a life sized Vanillite plushie. It is just about the perfect size to be used as a pillow and after toug it, I found it to be soft and fluffy as well. I don’t even bother to check the price tag befrabbing it and finishing my checkout.

  Eight thousand Poke ter, and my purchases are stored away in my bag. Bags in the pokemon world are quite amazing, they fun simirly to a Bag of Holding but be any shape or size. Sadly, they only enrge spad ’t keep items fresh, but if something cold or hot is put in the bag, it stays that way almost three times as long. Standing outside the Pokemart, I knit my fiogether and do a full body stretch to loosen my muscles. I did not do any training today as I did a good amount of walkierday. I notice the sky starting to turn colors and I look down at Skadi, who looks back up at me with her head tilted slightly creating an adorable look.

  “What do you say sweetheart? Ready to head back to the ter? We are in for a long day tomorrow.”

  “Vul, vul! Vulpix!” Skadi answers me back happily.

  “Alright let’s head back.” While we walk back to the Poketer, I pull out my phone and open up Pokegram. I decided to post my pictures that I took at the cake shop. I made sure to adjust each picture so the sweets look extra delicious and I added a picture that I took of the Alcremie before I left. I made sure to tag the store in my post before submitting it and closing Pokegram.

  The sky was starting to darken into the twilight hours as we made it back to the Poketer. I had to blink my eyes a few times once I stepped io get my eyes to adjust as I approached Nurse Joy. Just before I got there, I pulled out the treat that was reended by the boss of the cake shop for Nurse Joy and ha to her with a smile.

  “For you Nurse Joy, for everything you and your do to keep our pokemon and us healthy.”

  Nurse Joy looks taken aback by my gift and smiles and takes it. “Thank you Frost. I have some fantastiews for you…”

  “LING!” With a loud cry, suddenly a feathery missile shoots out from the bas, causing the doors to swing bad forth wildly, aly hits my chest. I quickly catch the sudden projectile and smile at my tiny bird that is noily singing in my hands.

  “Wele back Zephyr. I hope you were a good girl for Nurse Joy.”

  “Fletg was a joy to take care of. Once she was all healed up, she would not stop singing so we were serenaded for a while until you returned.” Nurse Joy looks at Zephyr with a sweet smile. “If only all our patients could be that cheerful when they are healed.”

  “Thank you again Nurse Joy, enjoy your treat and good night!”

  “Vulpix~!””Fletg~!”

  “Good night everyone.”

  I parted with Nurse Joy and headed up to the room I slept in the night before. Once I was in the room I pulled out the rest of the treats that I had gotten earlier and pced them on the desk so we could all enjoy ourselves. As Zephyr hopped onto the desk and over to her poffin, I noticed that her normally red e head now has a small of bluish white feathers on it. Intrigued, I pull out my phone and s Zephyr.

  [Fletg has learhe move Acrobatics]

  The only new information I got was she had learned a new move. I decided to keep an eye oo see if any other ges occur. Turning bay treat, I take a bite of heaven. I seemed to fall into a wondrous ndscape of sweet soft clouds of cream with swirls of chocote and giant strawberry mountains. Once I finally swallow my bite, I let out a soft moan of pleasure. The hirty minutes was heaven while I ate the food of the gods. Not realizing I had eaten it all, I went to take another bite and just hear a small thud as my fork hit the pte. I take a look at my pte and feel like I am going to cry as my mini chocote covered strawberry cheesecake is all gohe world seems to almost take a gray tone as I stare at my pte longingly.

  -Oernity ter-

  I finally snap myself out of my mini cake induced depression and strip off my dress and silk shoes before tossing them into the washer ihroom. I take a quick shower to wash away the dust and grime from the city and then y down on the bed. Zephyr hops over to the bed and snuggles into the nape of my neck. Skadi also hops onto the bed but decides to y down at my hip, right where I just lightly stroke her fur. It doesn’t take long for the three of us to quickly fall asleep, enjoying each other's pany.

  The m, I woke up with a small smile as I could still feel the body heat of my two family members. I gently sat up and climbed out of bed, making sure not to wake up my pokemon. I check the time on the arm cloext to the bed ahat it is a little after four. I rummage in my bag looking for one of my outfits before pulling out a pair of dark blue biker shorts, a matg sports bra and my sneakers. I grab my keycard and stuff it in my sports bra before heading down to the lobby. I don’t know if it is my luck or if there truly isn’t anyone else in the ter, but the lobby is empty again besides Nurse Joy. I greet her and ask where the gym is as every Poketer has a gym for the traio stay in shape.

  About two hours ter I finish my workout and body training for the day and head bay room. I pull my dress and shoes out of the washer and toss my current outfit and shoes in while I take a shower to off all the sweat. About the same time as I get out of the shower, the clothes are done as well. As I step bato the room, I am greeted by both of my pokemon who are now awake. I pack everything except for my dress and silk shoes, which I put on, into my bag before strapping it to my thigh again.

  “Alright, now it is time to officially start training! Are you two ready?”

  “Vul!””Ling!”

  “Well the’s go!” And with that we leave the Poketer after saying goodbye to Nurse Joy aurning the Keycard. The doors of the Poketer open, just as the sun peeks out over the horizon, bathing us in the warm glow of its light.
