Monferno wound his way around Calla’s legs, both of them moving in perfect harmony, as they weaved around the small kitchen. It was a good position for the small hut, right on a route for trainers heading between gyms or to different regions. All in all, Calla and Monferno were pretty content.
They’d been set up for a few months when Lacey and Espeon came by for the first time. It had been Monferno who’d actually engaged, jumping around Espeon until Calla stuck her head out of the kitchen.
She had long brown hair, and pale purple eyes that held a sadness, along with skin far paler than Calla. She was definitely a trainer, that much was made clear by the pokeballs that lined her red belt.
It became a routine. Whenever Lacey was in the area, her and Espeon would visit. Monferno and Espeon grew especially close, and slowly Calla and Lacey did the same.
When Lacey announced she was challenging the Red Keep, the biggest gym Calla had ever heard of, she gave her every berry they had in the stall.
And when she came back victorious, Lacey brought Calla spices from across every region.
