”Coming!” Adam called out in response to hearing knocks at the door. ”I’ll deal with you guys later.” The man shot a glare at the pests that were making the mess even worse as he made his way over to the door.

”Helloooooo!” A big smiling goofball would greet the person on the other side, not exactly expecting the large companion at their side. More importantly, he didn’t expect that someone so cute was going to be helping him out today. ’JACKPOT’ he’d think to himself as he gestured for the two to come inside the home.

”You must be here to answer the ad right? My name’s Adam! I’ll be helping you around here. I sorta kind of live here, it’s kind of complicated but not really. What a handsome luxray you've got there. Must take good care of him” As he’d lead them down the hall, reaching rather large living room/kitchen split.

The Zigzagoons that he noticed earlier were now fighting over some sort of food….the place really was in shambles. ”Real disaster zone in here. Things have been a bit hectic around here since recent happenings. Place hasn’t really been open for long too. Supposed to be a nice place for people and Pokémon to unload and relax.” He’d sigh, rubbing the back of his neck as he spoke.

”A home away from home, an escape ya know.” He’d look to the blonde with a sad look, before shaking his head and putting on a brave face. ”Woah definitely didn’t mean to bring down the mood! Anyway I think we should start with the kitchen before those Zigzagoons end up hurting themselves. This place really is a mess! Hoooo buddy!” Real smooth there champ.

Adam could feel his heart skip a beat at this girl’s enthusiasm; she was too pure for this world! ”Bless you two!” He cried wiping away imaginary tears. Adam’s Pokémon would also join in the fun, the first being his Lucario.

The first sight the Pokémon saw wasn’t one he was unfamiliar with and in fact it made him sigh deeply. ”Alright Soul ole buddy ole pal of mine! We’ve got a big mess to clean up but this time we’ve got help! Delphi and Kit this is Soul.” The silver haired male would gesture towards Delpih and Kit in which the Lucario would bow in their direction.

”You go help our Luxray friend while I get to tiding the living room.” Soul responded to Adam’s orders with a thumbs up as the Pokémon would then show Kit the way to the garbage outside, leading them through the door in the kitchen that led outside.

With that all settled it was time to deal with the living room which was a nightmare. Toys, furniture, garbage, some other sutff Adam didn’t want to think about littered the place. He wasn’t sure if people lived here or Garbadors. ”Sheesh.” Adam laughed as he got to work.

After moving some furniture back to where it was and throwing away some garbage Adam found something odd. A fluffy little ball had been resting under one of the couch cushion. When he went to go further inspect it the fluff ball moved and uncurled revealing it to be a Stufful.

”Oh there you are!” Adam almost went to grab the Pokémon but remembered the last time he did that they had to get a wall fixed. The little Flailing Pokémon was happy to see the silver haired male. This little guy was one of the Pokémon that was being cared for here at the daycare.

”I figured everyone was outside in the barn.” The Stufful only responded with one of its cries before wandering off. ”Be on the lookout for some the residence who might be wandering around here. They are bunch of teddy bears so they won’t bite, gotta look for Alan though. He’s a Kecleon who likes to play pranks on people. Oh and those were just some random Zigzagoons no need to worry about them.” He’d turn to Delphi as he spoke, throwing her a thumbs up and a smile before getting back to work. Unbeknownst to him there was a Karablast hiding within the dishes Delphi was cleaning, eating the food that remained on a plate.

Adam still couldn’t believe what a bundle of sunshine and rainbows this girl was, even the way she dealt with getting hurt was adorable! This was most certainly not good for his heart. Is this what it’s like for people with high cholesterol and blood pressure feel like?

He’d definitely keep this in mind the next time he goes on a binge of really unhealthy and grease ass food despite how good it might taste the regret after was always not worth it. He’d have asked her if she was okay but she bounced back so fast that it didn’t seem necessary.

Cleaning up the living room was a chore but nothing that Adam couldn’t handle with finesse. ”Excellent!” Adam would exclaim in response to Delphi’s words, throwing her an enthusiastic thumbs up. It really was night and day over there, the woman’s a miracle worker!

It was during that thought that Adam noticed something in the corner of his eye. The living room was pretty clean for the most part the only thing that really had to be put back was one last couch cushion. That’s why it was a bit suspicious that it looked as if a curtain was twitching.

”THERE YOU ARE YOU SNEAKY BRAT!!!” The man shouted, flinging the cushion that was on the floor at the curtain. The cushion wouldn’t make contact with the curtain and the wall behind it but stop a few spaces short as if it hit some invisible wall. It was then that Alan the Kecleon seemingly appeared out of thin air.

”I was wondering when you’d show up. You know how many times we’ve told you to stop trying to sneak up on people.” Adam wagged his finger at the red-handed Pokémon, giving him a proper scolding before sending him on his way to the others.

With that out of the way and the living room and the kitchen were nice and clean there was only one thing left to do. ”We just got to sweep and mop up the floors and then we’ll be good. And really you’ve been great, a real life saver!” After he said that he rubbed his chin, a thought brewing.

”Your payment as to be more than just some money. How about once we’re done with all this I treat you to some food? A well deserved nice meal after a hard day’s work, how’s that sound?” He’d give her a bright smile. Sweeping and mopping wouldn’t take long at all.

Adam blinked; the offer of food seemed to put Delphi in super turbo mode as she zipped around the house. ”Hey it’s the least I can do seeing how helpful you’ve been!” Adam responded. The man moved a much slower albeit reasonable pace, no way was he going to keep with her now she was way too jazzed. Watching her was sort of amusing.

He wondered if he got some caffeine in her would she move faster. Maybe she was the type that took way too well to it and would be running all over the walls from just littlest of tastes.

After some time, and with some serious elbow grease and dedication, the two of them finished up cleaning the house. The place was looking great! Both the Pokémon and the people who live here were going to love how spotless the place looked.

”Yeah but we did a hell of a job! Look at this place! You could eat off of the floor….don’t actually do that though.” Adam laughed, admiring how shinny the place was. It was most certainly night and day in this place, he really was impressed, would have been a lot more difficult with just him.

There Pokémon had returned and Soul looked pretty impressed as well. ”We did a good job in here, didn’t we?” The Lucario’s trainer would ask which would receive a nod from the Pokémon. But now that everything was clean and pristine there was only one thing left to do.

”As promised, You’ll be getting paid but on top of that I’m going to make a big ole feast that you’ll never forget! I hope you’re prepared to have your taste buds blown away!” And Adam was a man of his word he prepared and served a mighty feasts not just for himself, Delphi and there Pokémon but for the other residence on the property as well. Dinner was pretty good.
