Pokemon Mystery Dungeon - Gates to The Paradise

Request of a friend in need?!

After having their shinanigans solved inside Swanna's restaurant, Pika, Snivy, the timburs, and Guldurr all went downstairs and decided to have a little meal from the restaurant itself. Pika and Snivy got delighted by the mix of flavors put into their plates, Swanna was sure a great cook. They went over little stories about themselves and their full-on dreams like Snivy's paradise dream or Pika's adventure dreams while they all ate their food, even Guldurr was joining in really enthusiastically and had started to fond a bond with these two characters. They all finished up with their food and were just about to leave the restaurant.

"Well, that sure was some amazing meal!" Pika stated with a cheery tone as they all walked outside of the restaurant through the main door. Snivy couldn't agree more with that statement and Guldurr and the timburs already knew that Swanna's cooking was one of the best but it never gets old. They all looked at him with a smile and nodded in agreement and kept walking.

"Yeah, Swanna's meals are always the best to have around here!" Guldurr stated with a smile. Pika and Snivy nodded in agreement since they had just experienced how true that statement was. Guldurr seemed to have remembered something as he suddenly changed his happy expression to a more serious one and looked towards the exit of the town. "Well, you guys need to show me the terrain where I'll be building the house so I can start gathering materials for it," Guldurr said seriously but with a hint of excitement in his tone as they kept walking towards the exit. Pika quickly reacted to what Guldurr said and went in front of all of them to gather their attention, giving his usual cheery and energetic smile as they all stopped. All his friends gave him confused glances. He sure is quite the character, always being so unexpected but at the same time expected? Who knows he is just Pika at the end. He opened his mouth to talk.

"Yeah, let's go right now! It's right down the other path of the intersection!" Pika said with excitement in his tone as he pointed towards the entrance/exit of the town taking little energetic jumps in the process. "Follow me!" He said with his usual happy tone and started running towards the entrance without even hearing a response or what they had to say, he was way too energetic and cheery right now, maybe because of the help he provided? The timburs and Guldurr blinked at the sudden scene as they didn't know what to say. Snivy just sighed in exasperation, turned towards them, and gave them an apological face. They all noticed his face and waved it off to not concern him. Snivy sighed in relief and proceeded to talk with a smile.

"Yeah, that's Pika for you guys... let's follow him before he goes too far, " Snivy said and proceeded to run and catch up with his friend. The timburs and Guldurr looked at each other for a brief second before laughing loudly and proceeding to follow them.

The darkness of the night was replacing all of the light of the sun once more in this world. Pika had already arrived at the free terrain of Paradise right after crossing the small bridge that went over the little flow of water, separating Snivy and Pika's terrain from Quagsire's. He was now waiting for his friends, sitting on a nearby cut tree trunk that served as a chair. The little terrain itself wasn't much, just a desertic surface with rocks, dehydrated plants everywhere and needed to be removed, and the flow of water that surrounded the whole place. Pika observed the whole place as he imagined what their little house would look like in this area of Paradise. For him it was the perfect spot, he could imagine their house in the middle of everything with a little garden right outside and other decorations and supplies all around the place, it was also right at the entrance of their Paradise! Pika glanced towards the orange sky of pre-dusk.

This is just perfect... a place I can really call... home. Pika thought as he smiled warmly towards the beautiful and colorful sky, daydreaming about all his new adventures, friends, and... love that he will finally have and feel. He heard footsteps getting closer and closer to his left as he looked towards the source of the sound. It was Snivy and the carpenters that were finally arriving. He stood up from his temporary seat as Snivy stopped right in front of him picking up his breathing.
