Selene.

Selene yawned as she awoke. She rubbed the grogginess out of her eyes and sat up, still in the destroyed Pokémon Center.

Rotom Dex was asleep on the desk Nurse Joy normally worked behind, Elio was standing at the door.

"Elio. What time is it?" Selene asked.

"I'd say about two or three PM." Elio replied

"You let me sleep that long?" Selene asked.

"You let me sleep longer on the way here. Now come on, let's see if the Malasada shop still has some food, I'm starving." Elio said.

Selene hadn't even noticed how hungry she was until Elio mentioned food. She stood up, made sure she had all her stuff and then went to wake up Rotom Dex.

"Rotom. Wake up." She poked the electronic, it continued to snooze away. "Well I guess you'll miss out on food." Selene shrugged. Suddenly it's eyes shot open and Rotom Dex flew around the Pokémon Center three or four times.

"Good morning! Let's get some food!" It yelled.

"Can you even eat?" Elio asked.

Rotom Dex frowned. "No. But I can eat electricity! Which would be really tasty right now, my battery is at 24%. Zzt-zzzt!"

"Why didn't you say something? There should still be electricity here, we could've plugged you in while you slept."

It facepalmed. "Zzzzt-Zzzzt! Why didn't I think of that? Whatever let's go go go!" Elio stepped out of the door and motioned for them to follow.

"Coast is clear guys." They walked outside and Selene got to take in the Royal Avenue.

The was a giant dome shining behind the Pokémon Center, clearly it was the highlight of the area.

In the corner near the exit was a store, although it was completely trashed. Not too far from them was the Malasada shop, its orange roof shining in the light. It looked to be in decent condition, which meant the Team Skull grunts liked Malasada.

They walked through a small garden area, multiple plants were blossoming and the aroma was delightful. They stopped at the entrance, a picture of a Slurpuff with a half-eaten malasada on his head stood above the door. They pushed the door open and the two trainers and Pokedex went in.

There was an attendant behind a service counter at the entrance. She was wearing a red apron and smiled when she saw the two. There were multiple booths off to the side of the shop.

"Hello, how may I help you?" She asked.

"Two sweet malasadas please." Elio said, Selene reached into her bag and took out some money.

After their orders were fulfilled and they'd paid for the food they sat down at a table, Rotom Dex hovering over them.

"Hey guys, what about me! I still need to charge! Zzzt-Zzzt!" It complained.

"These are so good!" Selene said after she bit into hers.

"I know right! I'm just glad they've started carrying sweet malasadas here, they used to be exclusive to Hau 'oli city." The two trainers talked as they ate, ignoring Rotom Dex and its many complaints.

Once they finished they thanked the woman and left.

"Guys seriously! I'm at 20%!" Rotom Dex pleaded.

"We'll find you somewhere to charge Rotom. Don't worry." Selene assured it.

"Get down!" Elio commanded, falling to the ground. Selene did the same and Rotom Dex flew to the ground.
