Work Text:
You were heading to the Striaton City Gym to get your Gym Badge. It wasn't a bad day out, just a couple clouds. While you were walking, you heard a crash.
'Did someone fall?'
Without thinking, you headed over to where the sound was. You couldn't just stand there, someone might be hurt!
To your surprise, there was Cilan picking up a...bike?
"Uh...what are you doing?"
Cilan turned around when he heard you. "Oh, I'm...trying to teach Pansage how to ride a bike!"
You hadn't even noticed the grass-type Pokemon there. He waved at you and you waved back. "Right...and how's that going/"
"Not that well..." He rubbed the back of his neck.
"Maybe I can help."
"Really? That'd be great!"
You gave him some tips on the bike, and then you two started talking about other things. A while had passed before Ciland suddenly got up.
"Huh? Where are you going?"
"Sorry, I lost track of time. I've got to go back to the gym." He put a sleeping Pansage in the basket and peaddled off.
'I figured he was the one who needed help...'
You smiled to yourself and continued heading to the gym.
