2nd Person POV
It had been two weeks since your arrival in Galar. In those 2 weeks you've explored the Hammerlocke Area and its surrounding routes, taking your pokemon out to meet new friends and become accustomed to their environment. You hadn't met up with Raihan or Leon in the past weeks, though you had been updating them on your experiences and such.

You were currently making breakfast for your pokemon and yourself. You and Lucario hummed a soft tune that your parents used to sing to you, as you both mixed the pancake batter. Your Dusknoir was brewing some tea for you all, while the rest of your pokemon were in the living room watching cartoons.

'BANG BANG BANG'
"Deliver for (Y/N)(L/N)."

A muffled voice came from the other side of the door. You placed the bowl down onto the marble counter, your feet padding against the wood floor.

"That's me."

You replied monotonously, jutting a thumb to point at yourself. As you pushed the brass handle downward, sliding the door open to reveal a, rather tired looking, deliver man.

"We've got a deliver from the Sinnoh Region."

He paused, his gaze tilting upward, as he held out a clipboard and a blue pen, gesturing you to sign on the line marked with an 'X'.

"Sign here."

You grabbed the pen and clipboard, scribbling your signature on the line. Handing the clipboard back to the delivery man. He tipped his hat to you, turning around and signaling a couple men to come place the boxes in your front yard. There were quite a few boxes, ranging from big to small, black sharpie writing scrawled across the sides of them. You made an 'O' sound as the realization hit you, sighing internally as today was gonna be a long day of unpacking and furnishing your new abode with the familiar furniture.

"Thank you sir."

Your feet walked out into the yard as the men loaded up into their trailer and driver off.

'Lu-Lucario..?'

You felt a tap on your thigh, looking down you saw your Lucario with a questioning look on its face. You smiled down at him, petting between his ears.

"Don't worry buddy we can still eat breakfast, I just gotta bring these boxes inside. You don't mind helping me do ya?"

You asked, squatting down to his eye level, still petting between his ears. He chirped back in  reply, you assume as a yes. You smiled down gratefully, before rising to your feet and whistling for the rest of your pokemon to come gather outside. The herd of creatures came stampeding outside, all except Torterra who couldn't fit through the small opening. You began explaining to your pokemon that the boxes in the yard needed to be moved inside as fast as possible, like a race. They were all extremely competitive especially your Gliscor and Lucario, so at the mention of a race they all perked up, sending menacing yet playful glances at each other before waiting for your mark.

"Ready... Set... Go!"

You clapped your hands together, Gliscor and Lucario zipping past you as they scrambled to carry more boxes inside than the other. You laughed at their antics, watching as they raced inside and placed the boxes in the living room before coming back outside to repeat the process. You were knocked out of your thoughts by your Vapoeron tapping you with her paw. You glanced down at her to see that she was bringing you your phone, which was ringing. You quickly thanked her and scratched her chin, grabbing the phone between your thumb and your index as it was covered in slobber. You wiped the phone against your shirt before putting it up against your ear.
