Mia groaned as she hung upside down from her bed. " What am I supposed to doooooooooooooooooooo? It's sooooo boooooooooring."
" Pika pi."
You need to rest
" No I don't! I need to stay active!"
" Char!"
You can stay active by resting!
Mia let out a sigh. " Do one of you want to go in the garden, take hand in hand, and spin around?"
" Bulba bulba?"
Like in the fairy tales?
Mia smiled. " Yep."
Pikachu, Charmander, and Bulbasaur exchanged glances, trying to figure out if Mia was serious.
Pikachu crossed his arms and sighed. "Pika pika pi," he muttered.
You really should be resting, not spinning in the garden.
Mia groaned again, still hanging upside down. "I'm soooo restless though! I need to do something or I'm going to go crazy."
Charmander looked thoughtful for a second, then shrugged. "Char char," he said with a smirk.
If it'll help, why not?
Bulbasaur nodded eagerly. "Bulba bulba!"
We can try it, if it makes you happy!
Mia grinned, flipping off the bed and landing on her feet, surprising her Pokémon. "Great! Let's go, gang! A little spinning around won't hurt anyone!"
The Pokémon followed Mia out into the garden, where the sunlight filtered through the trees, casting a magical glow around the place. Mia grabbed Bulbasaur's vine with one hand and Charmander's claw with the other, while Pikachu hopped onto her shoulder.
"Ready?" Mia asked, excited.
"Bulba!"
"Char!"
With a burst of laughter, Mia spun around, her feet twirling in the grass as she swung her Pokémon companions in a circle. The wind picked up, and their laughter filled the garden.
After a few dizzying moments, they all collapsed onto the grass, Mia panting and giggling.
"That... was... amazing," she said between breaths.
Pikachu shook his head but smiled. "Pika pi," he whispered, cuddling against her cheek.
At least she was smiling.
"Bulba bulba!" Bulbasaur exclaimed as he rested on Mia's lap.
"Char char!" Charmander agreed, looking up at the clear sky.
Mia grinned. "See? Resting doesn't always have to be boring."
Just then, Jay had walked through the Monastery gates. Mia perked up, jumped, and came running up to him, practically bouncing with energy.
"So...?" Mia asked eagerly, her eyes wide with excitement.
Jay blinked, confused. "Uh, so... what?"
Mia crossed her arms, looking at him impatiently. "What did you do? Who did you fight? Did you win? Tell me everything!" She started firing off questions, barely giving him a chance to answer. "Was it an epic battle? Did you use your lightning powers? Did you take down a whole group of bad guys? Did Nya help? Did—"
"Whoa, whoa, whoa!" Jay interrupted, holding up his hands, trying to slow her down. "What's with you?"
Mia stopped, tilting her head. "What do you mean?"
