"Is there something wrong?" Daisy noticed Tobi's odd mood so she ask in concern.
"Huh?!...Nothing." Tobi was startled at Daisy's approach as his thought was interrupted but was still manage to answer.
"Are you sure? you could tell me if you want." Daisy insists and once again asks in concern.
"I'm fine *smile* Thanks for being concerned." Tobi said while smiling which makes Daisy blush as she turned her head in embarrassment.
|Flash back|
"Would you like to hold my hand?" Tobi suddenly said while raising his hand in front of Daisy.
"What?!!" Daisy was shocked at Tobi's sudden boldness as her face turn completely red.
"I'm sorry, I guess that's a strange thing to ask someone you just knew a couple of minutes ago." Tobi apologizes while scratching his head.
"No! it's ok!" Daisy raises her voice which attracts the people nearby attention to them but fortunately, the four other girls were already too far to hear Daisy's scream.
She took Tobi's hand and wrap it tightly in hers as they continue on their way to the ramen shop.
'Success!' Tobi thought while smiling sinisterly as he tighten his grip on Daisy's hand.
'Mark of Trust!' Tobi initiated his plan but an unexpected event happen.
[Ding! Mark of Trust failed!]
Tobi's eyes widen in disbelief seeing that his plan failed. Fortunately, Daisy didn't notice the changes in Tobi's face.
He then observes every part of Daisy's body and confirmed that she possessed no Pokeball.
He was confused guessing what could go wrong but still can't come up with one.
"Daisy, could I ask something?" Tobi had no choice but to ask Daisy herself.
"Yea of course, what is it?" Daisy didn't mind as long as it's not confidential.
"Do you have any Pokemon? I mean pokemon you caught with your own." Tobi went straight to the question as he tries to clarify the answer.
"I haven't caught any pokemon but, my Grandpa promised me he'll give me one after I turned 15" Daisy said not minding giving her personal information.
"How old are you now?" Tobi continued asking
"I just turned 15 last week! unfortunately, though, Grandpa was in pallet town and I reside here in Viridian for my studies." Daisy explains with a dejected look on her face.
"Do you want to visit him? I could come with you if you want." Tobi found the perfect chance to bring up his excuse in visiting Pallet town.
"Really?! Thank you!!" Daisy said excitedly as she suddenly hug Tobi which caught him off guard.
"!!?...it's ok." Tobi was stunned but managed to adjust swiftly and also hug Daisy.
The two hugged for a few seconds before it turned awkward.
"Ehem... let's get going." Daisy said awkwardly as her face was blushing so much.
"yea." Tobi said but contrary to Daisy, he wasn't blushing or anything like that.
|Present|
'What could have gone wrong?' Tobi thought remembering how his mark of trust failed.
He was also confused early but don't have much luxury to think about it but now, he has time to assume and think.
He still hasn't come up with an answer but he does have some guesses.
'It's there some kind of device that could block my Mark of Trust?' Tobi thought by quickly throw the idea away as he appraised every ornament and cloth Daisy wear but nothing was special or anything like that.
'Is it because there is someone out there guarding her?' Was Tobi's second guess and it was not impossible but also not believable.
'It couldn't be a pokemon, she doesn't carry one.....' Tobi paused remembering a certain Pokemon type who could indeed do things mind-blowing.
'Psychic!!' Tobi exclaimed in his mind recalling how useful and dangerous Psychic pokemons are.
He guided his Chaos Aura onto his eyes which let him see things that are untraceable in the naked eye.
And sure enough, he saw a purple energy surrounding Daisy and was connected at something far away.
The psychic aura was dense meaning the one who cast it possessed a tremendous strength maybe even reaching Champion pokemon level.
To be sure, Tobi once again uses his Mark of trust onto Daisy.
The Mark of Trust has a dark red color contrary to pyschic's purple color.
And Tobi's guess was right, The psychic energy act as a shield protecting Daisy as the Mark of Trust couldn't penetrate it.
Soon, the mark of trust energy depletes having failed in its mission.
This opens Tobi's eyes and prevents him from being extremely confident after finding out his Mark of Trust had many shortcomings.
But Tobi also learned one thing, Psychic don't completely counter Mark of Trust but rather Tobi's strength wasn't just enough to suppress it.

"Are you ok? you've was staring blankly" Daisy asked in concern while waving her hands in front of Tobi's face, trying to catch his attention.
"Huh?!! Sorry sorry, my mind was just being complicated lately." Tobi made up an excuse not to make Daisy suspicious.
"Let us just enjoy ourselves so you won't think about it!" Daisy said knowing that Tobi doesn't want to talk about that topic anymore.
"Yea let's do that." Tobi happily agreed as they went on their way, leaving Daisy's friends.
They went to a souvenir store, a Cloth store where they try clothes they like, and many more until they notice it was getting dark.
"So beautiful!" Daisy exclaimed as they were sitting on a bench, watching the sunset.
"Indeed." Tobi agreed as he stared at the sun and compared it to the one we had on earth.
It was incomparable as pollution wasn't a trend in this world and even though they're so advanced in their technology, they still manage to preserve natural life.
"We should go back." Tobi propose that the sun was no longer visible and was replaced by a dazzling moon.
"yea....." Daisy said but paused as if hesitating.
"Is there something you wanna tell??" Tobi asked seeing Daisy's hesitant look.
"*Smile* Thank you for today!" Daisy said with pure sincerity as her figure shines under the dazzling light of the moon.
"*Smile* Thank you too." Tobi also said sincerely not because he had fun but he learned something valuable.
