The sound of a man’s voice drew her attention away from the flowers and she turned her head in the direction of his hello. ”Hello,” she greeting her tone warm and friendly. Being a social soul she enjoyed interacting with people. And always enjoyed meeting new people. Since to her any new person was a possible friend.
[break][break]
”I admit I’m not to knowledgeable on flowers. I’m blind so I’m more drawn to fragrant flowers,” she explained to the man. Hopefully he would be able to help her out. Though considering he seemed to work here she was sure he would be able to do so.
[break][break]
While the humans talked Eos eyed the Lilligant curiously. She had returned the other Pokémon’s greeting earlier but still couldn’t help but he curious about the grass type. Maybe because outside of Opals other companions it was rare for her to be able to interact with other Pokémon. Even so she didn’t want to get to caught up with another Pokémon in case Opal needed her for something.[break] Victor Ranallo

She had gone to Mauville since she had heard of a new flower shop off of Route 110. Or more precisely of its reopening. She loved flowers so she had immediately decided to seek it out when she heard about. The only problem was that aside from knowing it was off route 110 she didn’t really know where it was.
[break][break]
The young woman had never been there before even when it had been run by its previous owner. Now that the shop was run by someone else she wanted to change that. Luckily she had Eos around to help her. The Kirlia was helping her out with keeping an eye out for the flower shop. And when she spotted it she used the telepathic link to tell her trainer that she saw it and directed her to it.
[break][break]
Hercules opened the door for her and she wheeled herself inside. Once inside she returned the machamp to his pokeball only leaving her with Eos for company. The Kirlia was situated in her lap as she wheeled herself around the shop. ”These flowers smell really nice don’t they Eos?” she told the dual type not caring if it seemed weird that she was talking to her pokemon.[break] Victor Ranallo

The sounds were loud and she was relieved when the Kommo-o stopped rattling his scales. That was one less sound to assault her sensitive hearing. The other sounds she could deal with now that one of them was gone. Even so the warm smile she had on her face never went away and she happily greeted the younger woman. Not seeming bothered that her previous greeting had been lost in all the noise.
[break][break]
Thanks to Shalin’s pokemon and Eos she was able to determine the location of each of the psychic type Pokémon. All three sounded like great Pokémon. Though Wyrdeer wasn’t a Pokémon she knew very much about. And she was more familiar with the Kanto Rapidash as well. But she was a lover of all Pokémon, so she had no preference over the other when it came to riding.
[break][break]
She never noticed when Shalin returned Treble to his pokeball as she thought over her options. She listened to what the older woman had to say. Starr seemed like more her type. Mainly because she was use to the telepathic link she shared with Eos. Often times she just didn’t use verbal commands with the Eos because of that, preferring the telepathic link.
[break][break]
”I’ll go with Starr, I’m use to the whole mind reading thing things to Eos. So I think it will be easier,” she explained to the older woman. She was also nervous that with the reins she might accidentally pull too hard and end up hurting the Pokémon. That probably wouldn’t be the case but it was a thought that was hard to shake.[break] Shalin Nariya

Opal had just brought the cup to her lips when Eos alerted her to the presence of a Smoochum. ”Oh hello, where’d you come from?” she asked curiously as she used the telepathic link she had with Eos to go looking looking for whoever the owner was. Because she was sure the Smoochum wasn’t a wild Pokémon and had a trainer somewhere. If so the trainer was probably worried and looking for her.
[break][break]
Of course due to her lack of eyesight she couldn’t see the Pokémon. But she was a bleeding heart and the others smacking lips was enough to get to her. ”You want some,” she asked kindly pouring another cup. After all she had made a whole pitcher so there was enough to go around. She moved the new cup of lemonade towards the Smoochum.
[break][break]
Meanwhile while Opal was interacting with the Smoochum Eos had left to try and find whoever the Smoochum belonged to. She looked around to see if anyone seemed to be looking for something. Finally she saw someone that seemed to be doing just that and she made her way over to the the woman and her Phanpy. Before trying to see if the woman was missing a Pokémon.[break] Eva Morales

With Eos help she knew what Pokémon were sent out. And one of them was a ralts. While they waited for the children to come over the older teen spoke bringing up her Kirlia. She took in what she said and they way it was phrased. The way she said it was like she wasn’t aware of the fact Ralts would evolve into Kirlia.
[break][break]
”Thanks…..though if you don’t me asking. Did you not know Ralts evolves into Kirlia? What gender is your Ralts anyway? Because depending on its gender it has two options if what’s its third evolution is,” she explained before getting distracted by Eos. ”No, that would be an invasion of privacy,” she scolded denying the Kirlia’s suggestion of her using her telepathy.
[break][break]
”Sorry about that Eos can use telepathy and sometimes she gets curious about what others are thinking,” she explained. ”She never does so without permission first though,” she reassured her in case she was worried. After all she wouldn’t want her new friend to worry.
[break][break]
Finally the kids made their way over and upon introduction she gave them a wave. She listened to what she had to say and the little girl was quick to agree to the terms while the boys were more hesitant. Once they had run off she turned her attention back to the older teen.
[break][break]
”Seems like your plan worked like a charm. It’s easy to grab their attention with something like Pokémon. It’s like the Pokémon are shiny new toys,” she said her expression somewhat amused.[break] Kara Li

”Thanks, Kara is a pretty name as well,” she said her cheeks heating up a bit with embarrassment. Being complimented always flustered her. Some would say it was because she was a fairly modest person. Though she wouldn’t know rather or not something like that held true.
[break][break]
At her comment about keeping the fact she was a hero in heart her face heated up again. ”I just did what anyone should do,” she said trying to play it off. If these were different times she would’ve said would instead of should. But she knew with the way the world was now that a lot of people would’ve have bothered. As hard as that was to admit. She still liked to believe there was good in everyone though.
[break][break]
Yes that was probably for the best. Since neither Eos or Hercules would divide their attention from her. ”Eos tells me what’s going on around me, so out of all my Pokémon she takes her duties the most seriously,” she explained petting the top of the Kirlia’s head. She continued to do so as the older teen spoke once more causing her to nod.
[break][break]
It was kind of expected really for someone to have pokemon. Her hearing picked up the sound of their release and she used the telepathic link between her and Eos to ask what they were. The dual type had just done so when the older teen spoke up once more.
[break][break]
”I’m sure they’ll enjoy them. And as for the story I have that covered if one is needed,” she told Kara. Hopefully the Pokémon would be enough to entertain the kids. Since it was hard to know what kids were into. The story she had in mind was about a prince. So it would be considered a fairytale.[break] Kara Li

Her enthusiasm was contagious and she felt her smile growing. Before she could say anything the older teen launched herself towards her wrapping her in a hug and since Eos was on her lap she was caught in the hug as well. The dual type wiggled her way out from between them making a sound of displeasure. ”Oh ummm….no you don’t have to do that,” she said her face heating up with embarrassment when the blond mentioned calling her hero.
[break][break]
”You can just call me by my name, Opal,” she told her the color of her face starting to return to normal as the embarrassment died down. Oof she hadn’t been expecting the older teen to be that grateful. The idea of being called hero was extremely embarrassing. So she hoped she would actually call her by her name and would stop with the hero stuff.
[break][break]
Hearing her suggestion she nodded. ”Yeah that should work. I have Eos and Hercules,” she paused to gesture first to the Kirlia and then to the machamp before continuing. ”I also have Camazotz, he’s a Zubat, as well. Right now he’s in his pokeball but I’m unsure if the kids would be to interested in him.”
[break][break]
Kids mostly strayed towards cute or cool Pokémon. ”Though unsure if Eos or Hercules would give the kids their attention. They work as my aid pokemon and they can be weird about their duties when we’re out and about,” she explained hoping the older teen had enough Pokémon to entertain the kids.
[break][break]
Thought she was curious if she had any other ideas. ”If all else fails we could always tell them a story. Children seem to enjoy that kind of thing.”[break] Kara Li

”A bit it but don’t feel bad, kids acting out for someone that isn’t one of their parents isn’t uncommon,” she said sympathetically hoping her words would reassure the older teen. After all she didn’t like it when other people felt bad and she wasn’t really wrong either. This kind of stuff could happen to anyone, so hopefully she would stop beating herself up over had happened.
[break][break]
Yeah that kind of logic when it came to kids wouldn’t work. Kids could definitely be a lot of work. Not that she would know this herself from experience. But she had heard enough stories from other people to know it to be true. But for those who hadn’t been around a lot of kids or hadn’t heard stories of watching kids they wouldn’t know how much work kids could be.
[break][break]
”Kids might be cute but they’re a lot of work,” she said with a chuckle. ”The trick is is to grab their attention. If you can hold their attention then they’ll think of you as a friend,” she said giving the older teen a smile. Of course there was a few ways one could do that.
[break][break]
As she mentioned only having an hour left to watch the kids she nodded. ”At least you only have an hour left for this. If you want I could help you out,” she offered waiting to see if she would agree or not. Just because she had accepted her help with getting the girl out of the tree didn’t mean she would be accepting of anymore help she could give.
[break][break]
If she was willing to accept her help she would willingly give it. After all maybe it would be easier if both of them babysat the kids. Of course she would give the older teen all the credit if that were to happen.[break] Kara Li

Since the older teen had fallen quite she assumed she was taking her advice. If so that was a good thing. In these types of situations it was best to stay calm. After all it panic clouded someone’s mind it was easier for them to make mistakes and make matters worse. Now that it seemed she was calming down she could focus more on the child being in a tree.
[break][break]
The solution came to her. And Eos would use her psychic abilities to lower the little girl out of the tree until Eos had delivered the little girl safely to the ground. After she had done that Eos would lean back into Opal and let the brunette keep up a conversation between herself and the blonde.
[break][break]
It was upon the older teens thank her they she would know the little girl was safely on the ground. Hearing the thanks she would wave her off. ”Don’t worry about it, I’m just glad we could help?” she said giving her a warm smile. ”Besides as one of my aid pokemon Eos is use to helping me out. So helping out another person shouldn’t prove to be to much trouble,” she explained hoping she would just accept that she and her Pokémon had wanted to lend a hand.
[break][break]
All she heard was the older teen ask the little girl to stay on the playground. She would have no way of knowing how the little girl reacted. However she did notice when the little girl ran off. ”I’m assuming that since you’re having so much trouble with them you’re babysitting,” she said turning her head towards the older teen.
[break][break]
Hopefully she was right about her assumption. Because she would be really embarrassed if the kids ended up being hers. Since it would mean she was telling her she was a bad. So hopefully she was a babysitter. And the kids were acting out because she wasn’t their mom. Kind of like how students would act out with a substitute teacher.[break] Kara Li

From the way the other teen sounded she had to be around her own age. Though rather or not she was younger or older she didn’t know. It seemed like she had decided to watch after three kids. Which was probably asking a bit much for someone around their age to do by themselves. After all it wasn’t like they were all characters in the babysitters club, a book series she had heard about.
[break][break]
”Just calm down, I’m sure we can think of something. But we’ll get no where if you don’t stay calm,” she set soothingly, trying to get her to calm down. After all it wouldn’t do anyone any good if the older teen ended up going into a panic attack. Than they would have to things to worry about. It was just better if they didn’t end up causing more problems.
[break][break]
As the older teen posed the question she would think of what they could do. There was one thing they could try. ”Eos do you think you could use your psychic abilities to levitate her down?” she would ask the Kirlia on her lap. Some might try and convince the kid to come down some way but she was worried about what would happen if she accidentally slipped on the way down, especially considering how high up she was.
[break][break]
”Eos says she can do it,” she says turning her head towards the older teen. Once Eos had been given the go ahead she would start to use her psychic abilities to get the child back to safe ground while Opal stayed quiet as she waited for Eos to let her know she had succeeded.[break] Kara Li

When she had been told that they could go ahead with the riding lessons she was excited. The clean up off the place hadn’t taken as long as she thought it would so the time to do the riding lessons had come sooner than she expected. Like the last time Hercules and Eos would be with her. Since she needed the Machamp to carry her and the Kirlia was basically there to just so she would have more company as she made her way back to Shalin’s romping grounds.
[break][break]
Reaching the romping ground this time around didn’t take as long this time. Since she had already been in the area before. Eos would tell her when she saw Shalin and once that had happened she would make her way to the older woman. Upon reaching them Eos would greet the three psychic type Pokémon while Opal would wait for Shalin to finish up with what she was doing.
[break][break]
Once Shalin had joined her Opal would greet her. ”Hey, how have things been?” she would ask, hoping that the older woman had been doing well since they had last spoken to one another.[break] Shalin Nariya

As per usual her machamp, Hercules, and Kirlia, Eos, had accompanied her. The Pokémon she frequently had out was those two. Though she would always let Camazotz, her zubat, out whenever she had to go through a cave for one reason or another. So the bat Pokémon actually had been out earlier, but she had returned him to his pokeball. After all usually having two out was enough.
[break][break]
Recently she had been visiting places that wouldn’t work to well with a wheelchair. But upon coming here she felt that she could actually get away with using a wheelchair. Sure she would have to through tall grass from time to time but that had been a rarity. And the times she did have to go through the tall grass Hercules would help her out.
[break][break]
With it being a nice day out they had decided to stop at a small park. Usually she would see about striking up a conversation first but she had decided to get a bit of drawing done. Despite being blind she had become a pretty good artist, enough that she begun selling her own work. While she had initially learned by using braille as an outline, Eos would now help her whenever she needed her to.
[break][break]
She had gotten absorbed in drawing when a commotion caught her attention. Frowning she used the telepathic link between her and Eos to ask what was going on. The fact a young kid was up a tree, especially considering she was pretty high, was definitely worrying.
[break][break]
She was already wheeling herself over to the other person before she had fully decided to. ”Do you need help?” she inquired Hercules coming to stand beside her while Eos remained in her lap.
[break][break]
The fact she didn’t know the older teen didn’t even cross her mind. She had just known that someone needed help and had acted. Hopefully she wouldn’t be turned away.[break] Kara Li

While to some extent she understood what she was talking about it, the thought of hurting any living creature made her uncomfortable. Violence was never the answer to her, let alone killing. ”I don’t understand why people would take more than they need,” she said with a sigh deciding not to comment further on the killing of pokemon.
[break][break]
Another truth. One she tried not to think too much about. Even so she still tried not to have anything to do with Pokémon products. Not the ones that had to be acquired from the death of a Pokémon anyone. Wool was different since that could be taken without causing harm to a Pokémon. Though wool wasn’t something she was overly big on.
[break][break]
She listened to what she had to say knowing that it would be hard for someone like her to imagine what that would be like. ”A lot of inspiration can come from our childhood. I myself was inspired by stories about people not letting their blindness hold them back from what most would think would be impossible for a blind person. Which is how I got into art. Taught myself how to draw using braille to aid me,” she explained talking about her own unique skills.
[break][break]
It made sense that strength would be required for such a skill. She could remember going over stuff like this with absalom steel since he rode his Hisuian Zoroark basically everywhere. He had mentioned that it took less energy for him to ride a Pokémon than to walk or run everywhere. She supposed how much strength it took depended on the person.
[break][break]
Hearing her comment about Arcanine she just nodded. It was common knowledge that that’s why so many officers chose Arcanine. ”Yeah that wouldn’t be good,” she said her eyes widening when she mentioned what would happen without her signal suit. Of course she would never do something so dangerous.
[break][break]
”Sounds good. I should head home though. We can go over details over the phone,” she said before giving the older woman her phone number. Once that was done she would have Hercules carry her away Eos still riding on the Machamp’s shoulder.[break] Shalin Nariya
