>”You eat too slow.” Your disguised friend said, licking her fingers.>You’d taken your sandwiches to go and sat down on a bench in a nearby park.>Though hidden behind the illusion of your longtime, childhood sweetheart, Zoroark made no effort to conceal her inhuman eating speed.>You took another bite of your sub.“Gotta learn to enjoy the flavor.” You said through a mouthful.
>”Oh?”>”And what if a big, bad pokémon came by?>A sly grin spread over your friends face.>”Hungry and willing to fight to take what’s yours?”>She stuck two claws at a slice of ham sticking out of the sandwich.>With agonizing slowness, she pulled the meat away from the bread.>You sighed and held your meal still, letting her have her treat.>”You wouldn’t make it a day in the wild.” She declared, bringing the deli meat above her open maw and dropping it in.“I know when to pick my fights.” You answered.
“That, and I need to get you a second sandwich next time.”
>For a minute, you ate in silence. Only the sound of the fountain and the occasional car driving past broke the peace.>You thought Zoroark was eyeing your sandwich again, but you realized she was watching something at the center of the park.>It got your attention too.>The yellow and white fur was a stark contrast to the blue gazebo it stood in front of.>The jolteon sniffed the air before focusing on and trotting towards you.>”Smart girl.” >You took another bite.>”She knows a sucker when she sees one.” Zoroark teased.>The eeveelution sat down in front of you.>She didn’t look at the scrap of food you had left.>She looked right at you.>”Oh! You’re not the first.”>”She’s done this before.”>You sighed, tossing the stray pokémon the last bite.>You’re pretty sure you didn’t see any “Don’t feed the Pokémon” signs here like at the waterfront.>The spiky frills that you assumed where its tail wagged as she gobbled down the club sandwich.>It was mostly crust anyway.
