Poke.

The champion looked down at the little hedgehog from where she was hands deep in a bowl, her face as pink as the wonderfully smelling dough.

“Hey, Goldie. What’s up?”

“I’m making you a surprise, gimme a sec.”

She managed to lean down to give him a smooch on his head.

Friends with anyone else at the league?

“Yes I am, actually. Shauntal is very kind, I join her and Caitlin for tea sometimes. Marshal is actually teaching me a bit of martial arts when there’s a lull in challengers, it’s quite fun.”

“Iris stops by sometimes when she’s on a break, she has tea with us often. Then there’s other region’s champions, I’ve met ‘em in tournaments and they’re very sweet.”

Rebecca softly sighed, pulling a warm blanket over and wrapping the little Pokemon in it. Once Indigo was wrapped up, she stood up, carefully holding the little one, and carried them to bed. She gently kissed their forehead once they were in bed.
