Ash And Horizons

Mixed Emotions

Upon the airship finally landed, Sycamore along with Mairin and Alain left the ship to walk towards the Orange academy while the rest of the Rising Voltteckers still at the ship with Friede, Murdock, Molly, and Orla in the meeting room.

And to makes it interesting was that Orla and Molly wore a different clothes than their usual clothes.

"Well, what're our plans going to be for today?" Friede started the conversation.

"I'll be going out to buy food." Murdock tell Friede.

"In the meantime, Friede, you can drop Liko off at her house." 

When Molly said that, unknown to them, Liko and Ash manage to hear it as she is just in time standing in front of the door.

Orla sat down on the chair, "I'll miss her for sure..."

"This job was always leading to this."

Orla turned to Friede, "Friede, take care of Liko!"

"Yeah!"

Liko then opened the door and both she and Ash entered the room.

As Liko and Ash came down from the ship, Liko then remembered as she stopped on the ground and looked back at the airship, 'That's true, now my journey is over...'

Liko noticed someone looking from the window on the bottom right of the ship, but instantly disappeared.

"Was that... Dot?" She wondered aloud.

Yesterday as the Gurumin livestream over, she tried to be friends with Dot, although she don't know does Dot slowly accepting her, she hoped that would be the case.

Ash noticed Liko's expression showed that she's feeling down, he tried to ask her but a voice interrupted them.

"Hey, Liko! Ash!"

They saw Roy rushing down with Fuecoco, "Can i come too? I wanna see how Paldea looks like!"

"We're not here on some vacation, Roy." Friede told him.

"Awww, I also wanted to see Liko's house too!"

"Hoga!"

Ash then told Friede, "Come on, the more the merrier, besides, i also want to see how Paldea looks like."

Liko nodded, "Sure, I can show you around a bit."

Later on, The group explored some part of Paldea together, from looking at the Orange Academy, seeing trainers driving using a pokemon called Cyclizar, and currently they are checking on the eyeglasses store.

"How do i look?" Roy asked as he put on an Aviator shape glasses.

"You look good!" She complimented Roy as she looked at Ash and asked him, "Ash, how do i look?" She wore a round shape eyeglass

"Hm?" Ash turned around and everyone saw Ash wore a Square shaped eyeglasses, "Oh you looked really good in that. How about mine."

"It really suits you so much, Ash! Ehehe~" Liko let out small giggles.

They continue to explore around as they looked at the shoes stores, some snacks stands, and also a cake store for their small pokemon enjoy the sight of the cakes being displayed.

When they are satisfied, they took a seat on one of the bench under a tree.

"Liko, Paldea is really great!"

"Yeah!" Liko replied.

Ash chuckled as he said, "Getting to explore around different region is so fun! This is why i love going on an adventure because not only we get to see the new region, we also can see new pokemon in that region as well."
