"Are you three alright?"

Rose looked at us, completely calm and with a small smile on her face. Flaaffy, Lampent and I ran up to her and hugged her.

"I am glad I was able to notice you three, but I am intrigued as to why you three are here now. I did warn that it could get dangerous when it gets late," Rose said to us while hugging us back.

As I let go, I looked at Rose. She was crouching down so I could look at her at eye level. I didn't know how I would be able to communicate our situation to her, but I was willing to try. I knew how to speak some words in English and tried stringing them together.

"No, trainer, please, help."

Rose let go of Flaaffy and Lampent as well and looked at me.

"So you don't have a trainer anymore. Hm..."

She turned to the audino and whispered something. The audino whispered back and Rose responded while still whispering. This went on for a few more seconds, with head nods and shakes thrown in. Finally, Rose turned her attention back to us

"How about this: You three can stay at my home for the time being. At least until you feel safe going outside on your own. Is that okay with you?"

I was amazed at the generosity of the offer. I was expecting Rose to drop off at a daycare or adoption center. For her to take us to her own home, how could I saw no? I turned to Flaaffy and Lampent to see their decisions. They nodded me excitedly and I smiled back. I turned back to Rose and responded.

"Yes, thank you!"
