Fluffy yips and trots along beside you as you return to the fire before seeing to all your teams' food and getting your own bowl in order.
"So how'd training go?" Martha asks.
"Fluffy has been on a roll this evening." You say, ruffling his ears again as he eats. He's looking pretty tuckered out after all that training, so he's earned a rest in your view. "He picked up Body Press and Cosmic Power as cool as you like."
Martha chokes on a mouthful of stew and breaks down coughing, holding up a hand as you move to help, before she regains her breath.
"Holy shit..." She pants. "Arceus, that's some impressive work, considering he just got Body Slam down the other day."
"He should be ready to evolve by now with how close you two are." Gareth observes. "Do you intend on letting him evolve soon?" He asks.
"No, there're still a few moves I'd like to teach him first." You reply. "Natural Gift, Secret Power and Return, for instance."
"You ought to try getting a few more battles in with him before you try teaching him much more." Gareth suggests. "Make sure he can do it when it counts."
"Sound advice, as per usual." You concede. "How did things go with Nika?" You ask Martha as Nika climbs into your lap, having already finished her meal.
"Good. She wore herself out rough-housing with Blue, so she'll sleep well tonight." Martha replies. "She's been with your family, right?" She asks.
You nod in confirmation.
"Guess I'm worrying for nothing, because your parents clearly know how to look after pokemon." She admits.
"Mm."
"Are you going to keep training after dinner?" Holly asks.
