"Right here, this is the right spot isn't it?
She said to meet right here again....
Or was it like 2 feet that way? Damn it, I can't remember!"

Dalton drops to the ground in despair,
kicking up a cloud of dust from the ground as he uses his massive paws to cover his head.

"I'm such an idiot-loser!
How stupid could I be? Thinking someone as cool as her being
interested in a dummy like me. She probably lied just to get away from me,
she must think I'm some kind of weirdo."

"That's not true at all.
You have a very wild imagination, you know."

He recognizes that voice.

Quickly turning his head and looking behind him, he sees standing there was the face
he had longed to see again all day, that wonderful female, Skye, had finally returned to see him.
Dalton was so happy he couldn't contain his excitement.

" *GASP* Skye, you're back!
It's great to see you again, I can't believe you actually came back!"

"Of course, why wouldn't I?
I said I'd be back just the other day, didn't I?"

"Well yeah, it's just...
I've been here since sunrise this morning,
I waited all day and you never showed. I thought something had happened to you,
or that you didn't want to hang out with me and thought I was weird."

"My trainer only allows me to go out for a few hours in the afternoon.
I should've told you about that, that was my fault, and I am very sorry."

"Oh, so you don't think I'm weird?"

"Oh no, you're weird...
but that doesn't really bother me.
in fact, I like that about you, and I think it's interesting."

She smiles at him sweetly, and he can't help but make his signature goofy grin,
a sign of both happiness and gratitude.

"Uh, so, what do you wanna do today?"
he asks her, lightly scratching the back of his neck.

"Well, you promised you'd show me around the rest of the forest."

"Oh yeah, that's right!
Well, miss, you just hold on tight to that fancy collar of yours,
cuz' this tour I'm about to take you on, is gonna Rock. Your. World.
You're gonna learn about EVERYTHING this place has to offer."

He takes a few steps forward, then turns around and speaks again.

"This thing right here, is what's called a 'rock'.
the forest is loaded with them, they're hard and they don't taste very good.
Ah! and this thing over here, it's called a 'tree'. They also don't taste very good."

This was strange.
this wasn't exactly the kind of tour she had in mind.
she and everyone else already know about trees and rocks.

"Dalton, I don't think---"

"This here is the 'dirt', it's very dirty, and it also tastes nasty.
and it's covered with the scents of lots of different Pokemon.
like see, from how it smells, I'm almost certain that a Stantler was here, *Snifffff*
No wait, I peed here this morning, nevermind, that was me."

"Dalto--"

"OH! here's something cool,
this big mound of stinky brown stuff!
Now I'm absolutely certain about this one, straight from the
butt of a Donphan, this happens to be Donphan po---"

"DALTON! I already know what these things are, I especially know what that particular thing is,
and it's disgusting. Let's promptly move away from it, shall we?"

"Oh, alright then, so what do we do then?"

"Let's just take a walk along this path, okay?
Get a good look around at everything at a nice, slow and easy pace."

"Alright, that sounds great!
We could talk, too! Get to know more about each other!"

"Yes, of cour---What?..."

--------------

As the two made their way through the woods, Dalton asked her many questions
about her and her life as a domestic. Just as how she was curious about the life of a
wild Pokemon, he wanted to know how it was to live with a human.

"So Skye, what's it like to live with a human?
are they mean like how I've heard?"

"Not all of them, the ones I've met were quite nice.
Especially my trainer, Agatha."

"Trainer, what's that?
and how's this Agatha person like?"

"Trainers are humans that Pokemon live with.
Agatha is a very kind human, very energetic and full of life.
we compete in contests a lot, and we win sometimes,
but I don't really care too much about winning or losing.
I just like being out there and working with her, it's a lot of fun to dance with her."

"You know how to dance?"

"Yes, a little."

"Can you show me?
I bet it's awesome!"

Skye's eyes grew wide and her face blushed red.
she covers her face with her paws so that Dalton couldn't see her.

"What's wrong?
Did I say something bad?
I'm sorry, you don't have to dance if you don't want to."

"NO! No, I-I do, I just---
I've never danced in front of anyone without Agatha at my side.
the thought of doing it is so---embarrassing and kind of scary."

"You don't have to be scared, I'm not gonna judge you or laugh at you or anything.
As I said, I bet it's amazing! Just close your eyes and take deep breaths. Try to calm yourself down.
Good, now erase everything else from your mind, think about your trainer, Agatha, standing right next to you."

It was working, after a few moments, Skye saw and heard nothing else except Agatha and the sound of her voice.
She then imagined the two of them in the center of a stage, all dressed up in their stage outfits with the spotlight shining on them and an adoring audience cheering for them to perform. Agatha was in her beautiful blue dress and Skye with her purple and white barrettes, sparkling gold bangles and a glittering purple and white jacket. Agatha turns to her and nods, signaling that she is ready to begin and Skye doesn't hesitate to start.

Standing up while holding onto her trainer's hand, obeys her trainer's commands.
spinning and twirling around, using Will o' Wisp to spit balls of blue flickering fire into the air, then Swift to shoot star-shaped energy at each fireball breaking them up into shining embers, resembling fire crackers. As the embers fell, the music she danced to in her head grew louder and she and Agatha synced their movements perfectly with each beat.

Back in the real world, Dalton sat down watching her performance.
though he was silent to not disturb her and break her concentration, he was definitely in awe.
his mouth agape and his eyes wide and glistening with glee for how beautiful her dancing was.

She uses the move Attract, creating pink, heart-shaped beams of light that flicker and flutter in the air,
then using Flamethrower, she shoots a stream of blue fire at the shining heart. the flames travel all around
the heart as sparks and embers fire from it once again just like before. it disperses, scattering all around her as she
continues to twist and turn and flip around, still moving to the beat of the music.

Skye was having so much fun with her performance, she loved doing her dance and even though she was imagining it all, she loved being with Agatha, she couldn't help but laugh while she moved, the feeling really was amazing. she climbed onto a tree stump, then makes a strong leap from it, preparing for yet another backflip. She thinks about using Flamethrower once more, but in the moment of her excitement, she makes the mistake of opening her eyes.

There was no audience, no stage and none of her clothing, even Agatha was gone.
she snaps back into reality and becomes nervous. she loses her balance and starts to fall toward the ground.
luckily for her, she makes no contact with it, as Dalton immediately catches her.

"Skye?...Skye, you okay?
that was a pretty high jump you did back there.
you didn't hurt yourself or anything, right?"

"...No. No I'm alright."
Her expression said it all, she felt awful.

"C'mon, don't look like that! You were great!"

"No I wasn't, I flopped and made a fool of myself."
She turns away from him, hiding her face.

Dalton nudges her with his nose to get her attention.

"Skye, I thought it was beautiful.
I had heard of fire before, but it was my first time actually seeing it.
it was amazing, like nothing I had ever seen before, and so was your dancing."

He looks at her with soft, reassuring eyes and a gentle smile.
she is speechless and has no idea of what to say.
Once again, her face flushes red and she smiles meekly while averting her eyes away from his.

"T-thank you...I'm glad you enjoyed i----"

*RRRRRRRrrrrrr!*

Her sentence was cut off from the sound of her stomach growling loudly.

"Oh, look at that, you must be starving after a stunt like that.
let me see if I can find something for you to munch on."

"I don't suppose you have any Fancy-Full brand canned food, right?
The Low-sodium kind?"

"Uhhhhh, I don't think there's anything like that here in the woods, sorry."

Looking around and listening, he hears the sound of rushing water.

"Jackpot!"

He races toward the sound and is greeted with the sight of a stream teeming with Big-head Remoraid, a favorite treat for Ursaring.

Dalton was down into that stream in a heartbeat, quickly snatching up two of the fish, one in his paws, the other in his jaws.
Returning to her with a wet and soggy head, he presents a Remoraid to her.

"Here, try one of these, I think you'll like it!
I used to eat these all the time when I was a cub, and they taste great!"

She stares at the fish in his paws.
having no clue of what to do with it or how to even eat it.

"What's wrong? You don't like Remoraid?"

"No, that's not it.
I just can't figure out how I'm supposed to eat it.
Forgive me, I'm not used to any of this at all.
Usually, Agatha's butlers already have my meals hand-prepared and
ready by the time we get hungry for dinner....Do I just--bite down on it?"

"Hm, hold on, lemme try something for a second."

He puts down his half-eaten Remoraid and takes hers.
using his claws, he removes the head and cuts it in twos down the center.

"There you go! It should be a lot easier to eat now."

He was right, with it being a little smaller now, it did look like
it wouldn't give her too hard of a time. She opens her mouth, preparing to bite down on
the fish's pink flesh, but then she's startled by Dalton.

"WAIT, HOLD ON, NOT YET!"
he shouted.

"WHAT IS IT? IS IT CONTAMINATED???"
She yelled, now seemingly terrified of the filleted fish.

"No, no, no! I remember now!"

He takes back the fish and places a paw on it,
smearing crushed Tamato berries on it, basically putting a gooey red paste on it."

"Alright, NOW you can eat it.
I remember that THIS was the way I used to eat it as a cub."

She takes the sloppy red fish, it didn't look clean and pristine anymore,
but now looked grotesque and disgusting.

"Go on, you won't like it 'til you try it!
And trust me, I think you'll like it."

Well, hat has she got to lose?
here goes nothing...

Taking a bite into the meat, chewing it a couple of times and then swallowing it,
she samples the fish. Then to her surprise, he was right again, it didn't taste bad at all.
In fact it was quite good.

"These berries really give it a spicy flavor to go along with the sweetness
of the Remoraid, this is really good!"

"Told ya you'd like it!
And there's plenty more where that came from.
If you ever want some more, you just tell m----"

Dalton stops talking, suddenly.
he hears something in the distance, a sound of hoof beats
striking the ground as well as someone else speaking.
apparently, these were voices he recognized.

"Uh-oh, not those two!"

"Dalton, What's wrong?
What two are you talking abou--"

"No time to explain, C'mon, we gotta hide you!"

--------

A continuation of this;

I swear to god, I never want to write out a dance sequence ever again.
Other than that hellish experience, this was fun to make. Sorry this is so long, btw.

They're literally a 'Pampered princess and a Country bumpkin' sort of thing.
