Paradise Pokeball System

Hey, Sweetheart

After a successful breakfast and the Pokémon helping us clean up, Lusamine and I both took separate showers. Unfortunately, I had to put on my same clothing after I had finished, but Lusamine had cleaned them somehow for me while I was getting clean.

"How did you get them clean?" I asked as Lusamine handed them to me from the door of the bathroom beside Joy's bedroom.

"Joy and I earned some Habitat Points while working in the garden together in the back, so she used the points to upgrade the washing machine and dryer. They only take about ten minutes now to do both, and it only takes one machine, strangely enough. Hardly surprising here in Prisma, but I am curious to know what kind of things could be done with my own place?" Lusamine said from the other side of the door while I quickly got dressed.

"A new bed should be the first thing that you get," I said with a smile as I walked out of the bathroom, giving my hair a shake.

"Now you can see why I don't like sleeping in it," Lusamine said as she walked up to me and then smelled my chest. "You smell good now. It will be a little while, so you might as well go spend some time with your Pokémon. I noticed that your new Charcadet, Knighty wasn't here or your Feebas. I think those two might need some attention," Lusamine told me, but she didn't move right away as she stared up at me.

Something about this moment told me that she wanted me to kiss her, so I slowly moved my face down to hers. Everything seemed perfect, but right as our lips were about to touch, the back door opened. Lusamine turned away at the very last second and darted around me into the bathroom, closing the door behind her in one smooth motion.

"Landon! Can you come to play now?!"

I sighed with a smile, cursing the timing of whoever had just come in, but we had been close. It would only be a matter of time now, and that was honestly a huge weight off my back.

"Coming!" I called and headed to the kitchen where Ralts, and Popsicle, my Pawmi were waiting.

"Can we go play? Do you have time?" Popsicle asked with little sparks coming from the spots on her cheeks.

"Yeah, I think we can, but let's go visit some of the others and see how they are doing, okay?" I asked, and Ralts nodded.

"That sounds fun!" She said, but then looked up at me with big eyes. "Do you have a name for me?" She asked, and I smiled.

"What do you think about 'Leilani?' It is a name from the islands that I grew up in. It can have multiple meanings. Lie is like a flower or a child, and Lani means sky or royalty. Considering how pretty you are now and how much more beautiful you will become after each evolution, I think that it will be suited for you," I explained, and Ralt's white face turned red, and she ran up and hugged me.

"I love it!" She said happily, and along with Popsicle, the three of us left Joy's habitat.

We all opened our eyes at the edge of Feebas's pond, but now I could see that there was a house below the water.

"Why don't you go see how Knighty is doing while I check up on Feebas. I need to see how she is doing right now, but I don't think that she will come out with others around yet," I explained after turning to the girls, and they both nodded, but then I looked at me Pawmi, thinking about before. "Make sure that you are nice to Knighty. There is no reason for you to pick on her. She is a proud Pokémon, so don't tease her."

"Yeah, Yeah. I will be nice to Bucket Head. I only kicked the ball because she was taking forever, and it was getting late! You can't blame me for being tired!" Popsicle came, and I patted her head, shaking my own.

"Use her proper name. I don’t want you two getting into a fight again like last night. I care about you all so be good. I will see you two soon," I said, and both closed their eyes and then vanished.

I looked down at the house that was below the water of the pond, but I didn't see my Feebas anywhere in the water. She must be inside the house, and it didn't look like she was going to come out anytime soon, so I took off my clothes until I had stripped down to naked. I didn't think that my Feebas would care if I was naked, and it might even make her more comfortable.

The water was cold, but I didn't care. I dove in and started swimming down towards the house. When I got there, I could see that Feebas was inside, but she wasn't looking out at me; she was just curled up in a ball. I swam closer to her, and the moment I was close enough, she finally looked at me, her eyes filled with emotion.

"Hey, sweetheart," I said softly as I reached out my hand, but instead of coming closer to me, Feebas pushed further away from me.

Still, I moved closer and began to stroke her head and back. I whispered soft words of encouragement, even though I couldn't understand what she was saying.

After a while, I felt her start to relax against me, and she accepted the hug that I offered. Slowly, she opened up to me, telling me all about her fears of what others thought of her and her worries about the way that she looked. She wanted to know how I could make everything better, and I assured her that we would take it one step at a time.
