章節 829: The Girl
After getting along well with his Vivillon and the other Vivillon, Yuga walked up to the Sun Pattern Vivillon and said, "Can you take me to meet your owner?"
The Sun Pattern Vivillon thought for a moment and nodded in response.
It felt something peculiar about this human in front of it, sensing goodwill from him.
"Vivillon... Vivillon..."
The Sun Pattern Vivillon turned to the other Vivillon and chirped a few times, prompting them to disperse. It remained along with Yuga and his Vivillon.
"Vivillon..."
Flapping its wings, the Sun Pattern Vivillon signaled Yuga and his Vivillon to follow it.
Following behind the Sun Pattern Vivillon, Yuga noticed a secluded path in the woods.
Walking along the long path, Yuga was greeted by a villa surrounded by countless blooming flowers.
In the flowerbed in front of the villa, a young girl was watering the flowers. She was accompanied by an adorable Floette and an Fancy Pattern Vivillon.
Yuga was about to approach and greet the girl when a Furfrou rushed out from the flowerbed, barking loudly at him.
In Yuga's experience, most Furfrous, being Poodle Pokémon known for their gentle nature, were not as aggressive as this one. He had never heard of one like this before, with a temperament similar to that of a Houndoom.
"Furfrou... Furfrou... Furfrou Furfrou..."
Seeing this, the Sun Pattern Vivillon, which had been guiding Yuga, approached the Furfrou and exchanged a few words with it.
After a haughty glance at Yuga, the Furfrou disappeared back into the flowerbed.
At this moment, the girl also noticed Yuga's presence. She set down her watering can and, accompanied by Floette and the Fancy Pattern Vivillon, came to the villa's entrance.
"May I help you?" the girl asked Yuga with a hint of hesitation, as she didn't recognize him.
"Hello, I saw many Vivillon in the nearby flower field and got curious. I wanted to meet the owner of these Vivillon," Yuga politely explained.
"I see. You like Vivillon too?"
The girl suddenly realized and at this time, shs noticed Vivillon next to Yuga.
"Is this your Vivillon? It's so beautiful," she complimented.
Yuga nodded and replied, "Thank you. Your Vivillon is beautiful as well."
As he spoke, Yuga gestured toward the Fancy Pattern Vivillon by the girl's side.
The Fancy Pattern Vivillon had green edges on its wings with white, red, and dark green spots scattered across it, and the inner part of its wings was transparent, giving it a dreamy appearance.
"Thank you," the girl responded with a smile.
Upon hearing someone praise her Pokémon, the girl felt a mixture of joy and shyness.
Her initial Pokémon, like her father's and grandfather's, was a Vivillon. They shared a common love for Vivillon, perhaps due to a hereditary appreciation and shared hobby.
However, she wasn't as passionate about collecting Vivillon as her father and grandfather.
The Fancy Pattern Vivillon, hearing Yuga's compliment, blushed shyly, resembling its owner in this regard.
"By the way, those Vivillon you mentioned belong to my father. If you want to meet him, I can ask him for you," the girl said, her shyness slowly giving way to determination.
"That would be very kind of you," Yuga replied.
"Wait here; I'll be right back."
With that, the girl dashed off, and her Floette and Fancy Pattern Vivillon playfully followed her.
As soon as the girl left, the Furfrou reappeared, eyeing Yuga with a stern gaze, as if to say, "Behave yourself."
It seemed this Furfrou was the guardian Pokémon of this place, explaining its protective demeanor.
After about seven to eight minutes, the girl returned, out of breath but excited, and said to Yuga, "My dad... agreed to meet you... meet you... follow me."
Watching the flushed girl, Yuga wanted to say that she needn't rush so much, but he held back.
"Thank you for guiding me."
"Come... come with me."
After catching her breath, the girl's breathing steadied.
As Yuga followed the girl into the villa, the Furfrou pretended to follow suit, but it seemed to keep a close eye on Yuga.
Inside the villa, Yuga noticed that the garden in front, filled with vibrant flowers, was teeming with various Vivillon.
The owner of this place was indeed an avid Vivillon enthusiast.
"By the way, I still don't know your name," the girl said as they walked.
"I'm Shimizu Yuga. And you?" Yuga found the girl rather innocent, asking her father to meet him without even knowing his name. What if he were a bad person?
"I'm Mina. Your accent doesn't sound like you're from Kalos. Are you from another region?" Though not particularly outgoing, Mina was lively, and after a few conversations with Yuga, she had become more comfortable with him.
"Yes, I'm from the Hoenn region."
In the Pokémon world, although there's a common language, people from different regions may have subtle differences in pronunciation, which aren't too hard to distinguish.
"Hoenn, huh? Sounds like it's quite far away. I've never even been out of Lumiose City," the girl said, her tone filled with longing when she mentioned Hoenn.
A sense of disappointment overcame her, and her Floette and Fancy Pattern Vivillon immediately comforted her.
"If you want to go out, you can travel," Yuga suggested.
Observing the girl, who appeared to be around fourteen or fifteen years old, at an age when many Trainers start their Pokémon journeys, and with her Floette and Vivillon, which were decent Pokémon companions, he wondered why she hadn't become a Trainer.
"Ah..." The girl sighed.
"I'm not a Trainer, and I haven't really thought about becoming one. My dad is worried it's too dangerous for me to go out..."
Yuga suddenly understood. The girl came from a well-off family, had Pokémon, but hadn't considered becoming a Trainer. Her family was likely concerned about her safety if she were go to travel.
Walking through the long garden, Yuga and the girl reached the front gate of the villa.
A well-dressed butler-like elderly man stood at the entrance, indicating that he was likely the steward of this place.
Seeing Yuga and Mina approach, the butler disappeared for a moment, then addressed Mina with a "Miss," before turning to Yuga and saying, "Please follow me, sir."
"Thank you," Yuga nodded in acknowledgment and quickly followed the butler into the villa, accompanied by his Vivillon.
However, as soon as Yuga stepped into the living room of the villa, the first one to receive attention was his Vivillon.
"So beautiful... absolutely stunning..."
Before Yuga could even greet the people in the room, this person rushed to his Vivillon and marveled at it.
This person was presumably the owner of the villa, Mina's father.
He appeared to be in his early thirties, with a refined appearance that made it hard to gauge his exact age.
Considering Mina's age, it was plausible to think he was only in his early thirties, but well-maintained enough to seem a bit younger.
"Um... hello..."
Seeing that this person was completely engrossed with his Vivillon, muttering to himself, and not paying attention to him, Yuga couldn't help but speak up.
