Hop smiled watching jade and her little Sobble cuddle already seeming to bound and become friends "as expected of the water gym leader daugher" he said softly and smiled and turned to Keira who looked btween groom and scorbunny "take your time" she said

Keira frowned "but there is only two of us what about the third stater?" She asked looking at hop with a worried expression she didn't want anyone to feel left oot or unwanted "ah don't worry the final stater will become a therapy pokemon in the local hospital in Wyndon helping people who need a comfort before operations" hop said and Keira sat down and smiled "alright you two, ill let you deside" she said after a few minutes scorbunny bounce over and climb into her lap picking her as it's trainer

Kaguya Keira's mother smiled taking a photo of jade and sobble (pretend its jade XD) and smiled sending it to nessa as she seemed unable to attend this stater pokemon meeting and took another picture of Keira and scorbunny and smiled

Nessa texted Keira back with a smiley face and saying, *tell Jade im so proud of her! also, tell Jade and Keira to swing by my summer home (Nessa made a summer home in Postwick so she could hang out with Hop and Sonia) because i have a suprise for them!*

Jade hugged Sobble, smiling.

Kaguya sent a text back *of course I'll tell her , jade takes after you so much sometimes i see you in her,see you later chances are leon willget lost on bis way to the battle tower* she repiled and smiled Kaguya viewed nessa as a allie and friend after bonding while both being pregnant "Girls make sure to thank hop" she said and walked towards jade and placed a hand on her head (like a parent would to a ypung child) and smiled "you're mum is so proud of you and says once you're done she wants to see you at you're summer house but won't say why its a Suprise" she said


Keira smiled and placed scorbunny down "Hoppie thank you" she said and ran over and tackled him into a hug and giggled who hugged her back and grinned "Ha i completed my first task as prosser" he said

Jade set Sobble down and tackled Hop. *thank you, Hop!* she said happily. Then she looked at Keira. *my mom has a surprise for us at my summer home. Wanna come?*

Keira had pulled away from hop ao jade could say thank you and smiled as poor hop become more emotional (happy) at the attention knowing hw done a good job, Keira nodded "sure my mother has to help leon and my dad today so im free to come and help" she said softly picking up scorbunny and held the rabbit like pokemon in her arms and smiled.


[Timeskip]

After jade and Keira said a final thank you to hop and said goodbye to eveyone, hop returned to the professor sonia lab and kaguya and leon made their way to the battle tower they left hop's house and started making their way to nessa summer house.


Keira was walking a step behind jade as she hadn't ever been to the summer house so didn't know the way she was still holding scorbunny in her arms and her black punky leather jacket hanging off her shoulders, Keira didn't know what to say she and jade hadn't spoken alone to each other sinse they were five over ten years ago and the whole father and divorce happened ans was unsure what would be a conversation starter

Jade looked over at Keira. *so. . . This is kinda awkward, huh?*

Have you seen that trick or treat i had nearly 300 lol.


Keira glanced at the ground "i-its just been over ten years and i don't understand why he stopped talking something about our father's" she said and frowned ans scorbunny let out a call worried for its trainer who's stroked its head "how have you been sinse we last talked" she asked it had been years and a lot can happen in a few years not to mention eleven years

(I forgot about that

Also WAT)

She nodded and hugged Keira a bit. *im sorry.* she said softly. *I wish we kept talking. Its been so long.* then she smiled a bit. *although I have been doing good. I took a job at Moms gym as a trainer there for challengers. Mom provides the Pokmon that I use. She also lets me stay at the summer home with Gibby (the nickname for the familys pet Gible). So I have been doing ok. What about you?*

Yeah, i keep given out candy and stuff

Keira was surprised that jade had hugged her and blushed in suprise "we are only five years old and to young to do anything at all about it" she said and pulled away "as for me i help milo on his farm in the sunmer occasionally so he has more time for the changers and helping my mum and marnie to restore spikemith to its former glory while dad's overseas touring" she said and smiled looking at the sky ans at jade "I'm glad you and nessa are happy after the....nevermind im happy you're both alright" she said and looked at jade

Jade nodded. Despite her dad being mentioned, she refused to think of him as family and basically ignored any mention of him unless it involved her mom. *its ok.* she said to Keira. *honestly, good riddance hes gone. Mom and I are so much happier.* she smiled and pet Sobble.
