You know how some people's mothers would say, "Oh, you must be special, he's never brought a friend home?" Well, Leo had never been one of those people. It was the fortunate - or perhaps unfortunate, depending how you looked at it - consequence of being an only child. He'd never had siblings, so he just happened to make them wherever he went.

[break][break] That being said, that didn't mean the friends he brought home were any less special. No, Victor Wexler was a very extra special friend indeed!

[break][break] "You're gonna love 'em," Leo said, grinning, as he led the way down a long dirt road to the Foster's farm. He'd picked up his pink-haired friend on the way and the two of them were trotting down the road atop Leo's trusty Zebstrika. Peanut made sure not to go too fast, just in case Vic got motion-sick, or something. "Everyone on the farm is super nice and Care Bear's just the best!"

[break][break] caroline foster was his longterm childhood friend. They'd grown up together since they were young, and Leo had spent many an afternoon at the ranch when his parents were pretending not to fight over something or the other. Not that Leo had ever noticed — you wouldn't either if you were surrounded by adorable baby Ponyta and Blitzle! Still, in his phone she was labeled "Care Bear" which might have been misleading to anyone who knew him. He'd been asked by more than one person if Caroline was his girlfriend, which was funny, because she wasn't. Then again, they'd always called each other things like care bear and sweetheart, so it was a very easy mistake to make.

[break][break] Speaking of, his phone lit up with the words 💖💞🧸 CARE BEAR 🧸 💞💖 as he received a phone call. Leo immediately put it to his ear, only to hear his very friend talking on the other line. "Oh my god, okay! Okay! We're coming! Vic, hold on tight!"

[break][break] With a grin he kicked Peanut's flank and off they were racing. They zoomed the rest of the way down the path and a matter of seconds were in front of the supposed Lilac Room. Wind-swept hair and all, Leo leaped off the Zebstrika and waited for Vic to dismount, barely able to hold his excitement. In fact, so unable to hold his excitement, that he grabbed Vic's hand and began to drag him into where he was supposed to meet Caroline.

[break][break] He pushed the door open, hollering, "We're here! We're here! Where are the babies?"

The farm life, as some people called it, was a mystery to someone like Vic. Sure, he may have spent a significant portion of his childhood helping take care of his mother’s dozens upon dozens of pokémon (Pokémon Breeder as she was), but he was sure there was a big difference between playing with and looking after cute little baby pokémon at a nursery and actually having herds of Ponyta, Wooloo, Mareep, and any other species of the sort. He was a city boy, through and through, no matter how small of a city Mistralton actually was.

As far as mysteries went though, it was one that had always sounded really fun to Vic! He couldn’t help but feel curious whenever Leo talked about his life in Oldale, and when his friend had suddenly invited him to visit home with him, of course he had said ’Hell yeah!’ without even giving a second to consider it. Long story short: that’s how Vic had ended up trotting down the road on the back of a Zebstrika, all while holding onto Leo.

”They all sound great, I can’t wait to meet them!”
[break][break]
Apparently, he wouldn’t have to wait at all.
[break][break]
One short phone call later, the Zebstrika was rushing down the road at top speed, and thank Arceus Vic had spent years of his life dealing with an Arcanine that was way too fond of Extreme Speed, or he would have probably gotten motion sick. He held on tight, trying to ignore the blur that was the scenery around them, and when they finally stopped upon reaching their destination, he took a deep breath as if in relief. Or, well, he tried to, since Leo grabbed his hand and began pulling him towards the building while halfway through this.
[break][break]
”Wai–Huh,” Vic stumbled, a chuckle leaving him, but he followed along nevertheless, his gaze fixing on all the little pokémon the moment they made it into the building. ”Oh! Now, that right there was as familiar of a sight as one could be. ”Look at you guys, you’re all so cute!” Obviously, he wanted to pet them, but he managed to resist the urge, his attention instead turning to the girl in the room.
[break][break]
”You must be Care Bear, huh? I’m Vic, it’s nice to meet you! Leo has told me a lot about you,” he grinned.
