"Let's do something," he said after he kissed her. Michi's eyes grew wide and Mickey laughed, holding her close. "Not like that. I mean, something to celebrate."Michi hesitated. "Well..."
There was something she'd been thinking about for the last few months. Her worldview had shifted so much ever since she'd started collecting Pokemon. Spending her days working the front desk at the hotel didn't seem like it fit her new lifestyle anymore. "Well, I recently go to job interview at City Hall," she piped up after a moment, nervous to admit the truth. "I am thinking of a new job."Mickey's eyebrows raised in surprise. "Don't tell me it's because you found that Dunsparce," he joked, "You were so excited to find it that night on the video call. They didn't really make you the mayor, did they? I thought that was an old wives' tale.""Ah!" Michi's face colored and she covered her mouth. "That is why I went! But there is no reward for the tsuchinoko in Petalburg, I must go to Fiorre. But I don't want to!" she said quickly. "I want to stay in Petalburg. And they tell me, there is an opening..."
"Oh my god," Mickey said, putting the dots together. "You're going to be Gym Leader, aren't you?"
Michi let out a faint cry. "Aah! You are good at guessing!""Well, ever since the great Zac Ramsay took up the post in his hometown, it's seemed possible for you. I know you've been wanting to restore the old gym in Petalburg." Mickey's enthusiasm seemed to be building. "Sweetheart, this is wonderful. You should take the job!"
"But I am not so good at battling," Michi admitted, "I am always losing to Rayquaza et cetera..."
Mickey actually snorted. "Gym Leaders are educators above all else. Battling's only a part of it. Oops, gotta get this little guy," he said, pointing out a Clobbopus that Michi definitely would have been upset if they'd missed. "He's pretty cute, right?"
"Yes!" Michi quickly caught the Clobbopus in her last Safari Ball. As it disappeared into the light, she made up her mind. "I will do it," she said, winding her fingers with her husband's. "If you are OK to help me, I will do this thing. Because, I love Petalburg."
"Petalburg loves you, Michi," Mickey said, "And so do I. We'll both be there to support you." He picked her up off the sand and swung her around, startling a bubbly laugh out of the older woman. She clung to him as he lowered her again, breathless and exuberant. "Let's make a fine gym together.""Okay!" she breathed, looking up at him. Having her husband back made her feel like she had the strength to do anything. "Let's... do it!"SAFARI BALLS: 0 CATCHING CLOBBOPUS
