"♫~Though it may hurt today, tomorrow I’ll be heading myyyy waaaaaay~♫"

Hideo kept on singing, and his Alcremie mimicked him as best she could. However, like anyone in the world knew, wild Pokemon were always lurking out in the wild, whether in the tall grass or the empty desert.

And as Hideo had found out many times, even inside cities.

Point is, it came as little surprise when the two were interrupted by a wild Riolu, who announced its presence with its cry. It stood in front of the pair, taking a low stance, ready to fight. Hideo couldn’t tell, but he knew a wild Pokemon didn’t run in front of you like that unless it was asking for a fight.

Good thing he knew his Alcremie was a fighter.

Seemed like the Riolu was letting them attack first. Hideo wouldn’t waste the opportunity. “Cream, dazzle’em!”

His Alcremie emitted a bright pink light, striking the Riolu with pure fairy energy. The Riolu was knocked down, stunned; he had acted first and prepared a Counter to be clever, but he didn’t expect her to use that kind of attack.

By the time he recollected himself and stood back up, Cream was already up in his face. “Finish’em with your Mystical Fire!” Hideo ordered, and she complied, firing a blast of fire from her mouth.

The Riolu didn’t get up after that - and a Pokeball was quick to follow its defeat.
