Milo x OC | Where I Belong | Pokémon Sword And Shield

Chapter 3

Location: Turffield City

We get out of the car, we where in front of a local Café. There was a newspaper box, grabbing one from it and we headed in. Sonia ordered tea while I got cappuccino. We sat down waiting on our order I started to look at land listings, marking circles around some I'm interested in.

"Casslynn, your order is ready!" The  Barista called. "I'll be right back!" I told Sonia and got up, started walking up to the counter and grabbed our order "Thank you". I left a tip in the jar and walked back to see Sonia talking to a really tall person with sun hat. Not noticing who it was first, I sit back down at our table handing Sonia her tea.

"Speaking of the devil, this is Casslynn, Casslynn this is Milo." I smiled and look up at him offering my hand, he's kinda cute. "Hiya! Nessa told me you're the grass-type gym leader correct?" He smiles back and shakes my hand gently. Whoa his hands are so big. "That's right, and you are 'The Traveling Trainer' Nessa and Sonia mentioned, time to time again right?" He asked, letting go of my hand.

"Yep!" I said smiling, noticing his freckles, cute. "Sonia said you're looking into moving here?" I nodded. "There's a place next to mine that's been up for sale, I can show you two if you like." He said "Really? That would be awesome! Wouldn't it Sonia?" I said happily looking at her.

She nodded. "Yeah, I think I'm gonna drink my tea first." She took a sip of her tea. "Okay, Milo you wanna sit with us? Maybe talk to me about Turffield?" I offered the opened seat between me and Sonia. He smiled and nods "Why, I'll be happy too." He sits down and took a quick drink of his beverage.

He told me a lot that I already knew, and somethings I didn't. Apparently he takes care of all the flowers and plants which is a lot of work in my opinion. "I love flowers, I like doing crafts and momentos with them, using their meaning and to go along with the project..." I smiled remembering the little stuff I did along my journey.

"There she goes again." Sonia chuckled "She's the crafty one out of our friend group, not many know it." She said while I was brewing up a new project in my head. Milo smiled looking at Sonia and back at me with Simi-concerned face. "Once you mentioned flowers around her, she spaces and thinking of a project right now." Sonia finished taking a big sip of her tea this time. "I can definitely see that." He chuckles, which got my attention. 'He is like a sunflower...'

"Alright, earth to Casslynn. Remember house first then projects." Sonia nudged me with the newspaper rolled up. 'When in the..?' " There we go! Alright we should get goin'. Milo lead the way?" She asked getting up, her drink empty. 'How long did I drift?' I quickly drank the rest of mine. Big mistake. "Sure thing it's just a walk from here." Milo said smiling get up, I follow suit.

Milo went to the cafe door and held it open for us as we walked toward it. "Thank you." Both me and Sonia said. "Anytime." He smiled. 'I like his smile.' "This way." He started showing the way, even keep pace with us.

A few moments later, I see a big ranch. "Is that your place milo?" I asked curiously. "Sure is, I kinda need to be close to city, pretty busy you know?" I nodded as we got closer. "It's a beautiful home." He smiled. "Glad you think so, cause the house next to mine is a little bigger." "Wait really? But your ranch is huge." I said surprised, watching some Wooloo grazing the fields.

"Sure is." He said looking at me. "Is that too much land for you? I should've asked how big of land you-" "It'll be great! I'm gonna need a lot of space to raise and train Pokémon for herding. Uh.." I realized I cut him off. "Sorry about that..." I blushed looking away. He smiles softly. "No, it's quite alright. I'm glad you like it, it'll be fun to have a new neighbor."

Sonia's phone started ringing, she grabs it and has a confused look. "It's Leon, can you two give me a sec? Go ahead go on without me, I'll catch up." She said, we both nodded and continued. "Are there any other neighbors?" Milo shook his head. "Other than Pokémon." I softly smiled as we walked, enjoying our little conversation.

-Sonia's convo with Leon-

"Where is she? I know she is here in Galar!" Leon excited on the other side of the phone. "Well hello to you too Leon, I'm doing great, how about you?" Sonia says sarcastic on phone. "Oh shoot, Sorry Sonia. I uh... got alittle ahead myself... So how's it goin'?"

Sonia gave brief sigh. 'Those two are definitely brothers...'. She can't be mad for too long. "Everything is fine. Casslynn is looking for a house/ranch in Turffield, I came to help and met Milo on the way and he said there was a spot open next to his place."

"I see. Hey, can you ask her, if I can have her number when you get a chance? Ever since she upgrade her phone a year ago, she hasn't given me her new number yet, once she was in the Alola region." He asked with a timid voice.

Sonia pinched the bridge of her nose. "A whole year? I had wondered why you called me and not her to see where she was." Leon nervously chuckled on the other end of the phone. "Fine. I wouldn't come out here until she's all moved in though, knowing you wanted see the many different strong Pokémon she has..."  She emphasized the last part.

"What? Me? Naahhh... I just wanted........." Sonia smiled at him trying to come up with something different. "I'm sure you'll get your chance, I think she mentioned about a house warming party while at the Captain's Table, eating lunch with Nessa." Leon got excited. "Okay Sonia, I'll let you go now, thank you for lending me a hand."

Sonia kicked a pebble, smiling with a little blush. "No problem, Leon, anytime. Talk to you later." She said. "Talk to you later." Leon hangs up. "What to do with him..." she sighed heading back to Casslynn and Milo's direction.

-Back to Casslynn's pov-

"Sorry about that, Leon called me" Sonia said catching up to Milo and I. "It's alright, Milo said we should be able to see the house at any moment. I also called the retailer told them I was interested, he was speechless when I told who I was." I laughed a little.

"Oh, really? You don't get that often?" Sonia asked as she got to my right side and Milo was on my left. I shook my head. "Not really, people from different regions tend to not know who I am, unless I tell them or they are famously rich and what not." I said. "The famous status, it's not something to show off, I learned that from the get go." I chuckled.

"Agree'd" Milo said, he then pointed in front of him. "Well there it is! What do ya think?" He said. It had a gravel driveway, that had trees up along it, which turns into a round about when you get to it's garage which has 3 doors, one being huge, probably for a tractor. The house and garage had a dark green metal roof, while the sidings was made from stained logs of wood. The pathway to the house was made from white stepping stones. There was plenty of fencing, and river that came from the forest behind it, and a huge barn.

"This..." I was speechless. Milo looked at me worried. "Is there something wrong?" He asked. "Yes..." He sighed, he was about to start to say something but.... "ITS BECAUSE I NEED TO BUY NOW, THATS WHATS WRONG!" I yelled from the top of my lungs with biggest smile on my face. Sonia shook her head. "Oh brother..." Milo was taken aback but he laughed it off. "You had me worried there Casslynn!"

I looked at him. "Sorry! Now where is that retailer." And start to walk the house. My new journey awaiting me.
