In some ways, it felt like she was back where she started-- relaxed, carefree, counting the clouds with a wisp of grass between her teeth. The sky was blue, the sun was warm, and for once, Jess had nowhere to be. No calls. No crises. No responsibilities.

Of course, that meant she was unemployed, and technically homeless. Dunno what's so technical about it. Seems pretty plain any way you look at it to me, she thought, rolling over onto her side to give a slow once-over to the little camp she'd set up. Fire pit, dug. Tent stakes, nailed. Helicopter pad, set. All she needed was a camping permit, and hell, if she was the biggest thing the local rangers had to worry about, Hoenn would be even easier to deal with than she'd figured.

It was strangely nostalgic. It had been a long time since she'd been out on her own--really on her own. With some star tournament sweeping the region, it had been a piece of cake to slip in unnoticed among all the chaos of visiting trainers from other League regions. Nobody noticed one little unmarked chopper slip past the radar.

The distant swish of passing cyclists on the main road reminded her she wasn't as alone as she liked to believe and she rolled back over, bumping into the Dodrio snoozing in the shade just behind her. One of the heads raised, giving a warning honk of alarm. "Aw, you're fine," Jess said, thumping it roughly on the back as she sank into its soft feathers. The head made a disgruntled noise before tucking itself back in again.

She closed her eyes, succumbing to the heat and inevitable wave of apathy.

What was the rush? Wasn't like anyone was waiting.

She wasn’t sure how long she snoozed. It was the quacking that woke her.

A Farfetch’d was exploring her makeshift camp, prodding at the tent with the tip of its leek. It was cautious, staying far away from the woman and the larger bird Pokemon, but it couldn’t seem to help a cackle of triumph as it found the 5-lb sack of sunflower seeds she’d been planning to set out for Dodrio.

Jess watched it with half-lidded eyes.

Male, from the curve of the tail and the lighter voice. Strong wings—it was clearly used to flying and had the meat to back up physical hits. Its leek was sharpened slightly, suitable for cutting or spearing.

She didn’t have to twitch to her hip to know her stylus wouldn’t be waiting there. It had been confiscated along with her license, visa, and badge when they’d caught her with Dodrio. But that didn’t stop the old habits, the old assessments. What could a wild Pokémon do? How could a wild Pokémon help?

They couldn’t. Not this time. Jess had to help herself.

”Aw, hell, look at you...” she said, rubbing her eyes with the back of one hand. The Farfetch’d, which had been happily pecking up some of the seeds, took note of her with clear alarm and made a startled dash for the tall grass. Jess made no move to stop it.

The seeds weren’t going anywhere. Neither was she. Farfetch’d would be back.

Little things took time. Building connections, earning trust, establishing a rapport. It was something people owed to each other, and something they owed to Pokemon. Jess had all the time in the world.

Her chin dropped down to rest on her chest and she closed her eyes again. Help myself.

Maybe she’d help herself tomorrow.

BEFRIENDING FARFETCH’D!
