Description Berry bounced out from behind the employees room and readjusted her bag with all of the evening mail she's about to deliver, when she bumped into a solid body. With a small yelp, she lands on her bottom and her bag flew off.

"Oh dear! I am so sorry!" The young voice said. Two pairs of dark feet appear in  her line of sight and her bag comes into view, along with a dark paw. She blinks and moves her ears out of the way to see better and is met with a pair of sparkling ruby eyes of a Riolu. 

"I'm sorry for bumping you, I didn't see ya' there." He extends his other paw and Berry hesitantly takes it, climbing onto her feet. She takes her bag from him and bows lightly in thanks before sidestepping him to get around.

"Wait!" He raises his arm to block her path and Berry tensed. Without warning, her ears retract to her skull and her fluff bellows out. 

"Please, I came here on behave of a mission." He says. Whether he sees her stance or not is a mystery but Berry can't be sure because she feels a bit ridiculous for reacting so suddenly. But she has her reasons, and her actions are justified, even to her Manager. 

He reaches behind him and slowly pulls out a small note for Berry to see. "I took this to confirm that I have taken the job as your guard." 

... What?

"I-I mean," he fidgets and his ears flatten against his head, "you don't have to, but me and my teammate really need the money and I want to prove how capable I am." He pauses and flushed. "N-not that you're not capable, I mean those ears probably pack a wallop, and you could kick serious tail, um... all I ask is that you give me a chance. Please?"

While he talked, Berry gained her senses and her stance became normal the more she listened to him yip in excited chatter. In a way, she can understand the need to prove one's value for she didn't get this job without a bit of hassle. Being a young Buneary out on the road and sometimes travelling further into the woods in dangerous. She won't admit the butterflies in her tummy when a large 'mon strolls by or when she would feel luring eyes at the back of her tail. It's unnerving....

She couldn't see the harm in having this pup be around to keep her company for a bit, he looks pretty strong and fast enough to get them out of danger. And she could use a change of pace in her life, just a little. 

The pink bunny waves for his attention and smiles sweetly at him, then nods.


"Is-is that a yes?" His tail wags behind him and his paws clasp together as his shine brightly. "Ohh thank you very much! I promise to be the best guard and not let anything happen to ya'!" He strikes a pose and Berry bounces towards the door. The Riolu catches up to her and went ahead to open the door for her. "Oh! Um, if you don't mind me askin', what's your name? I'm Rio!" 

For a moment, they walk (bounce) in silence and the pup, Rio, thought it wasn't a good idea to ask. But she stops moving and he does too, feeling anxious that he did actually cross the line. But a gentle smile comes onto her face calmed any negative feelings and her eyes met his. 

"My name is Berry~"  

 

-----------------------


A sketch oh my!  \o/

Berry is awkward with making friends so she doesn't speak and keeps a distance between others. Given time, she slowly opens up and she's a whole new person with a bubbly personality, if she likes you that is.

AWWWWWWW, PUPPY, THIS IS SO CUTE LAKDSF 
I couldn't help but smile the entire time reading this and looking at your illustration >v<

I can't say I was expecting something this detailed, but aaaaaa! Everything is very in character for Rio, from his energy to his adventuring attitude, hehe
Thanks for including him! I hope he and Berry can be good pals

He's kinda talkative, and his thoughts race around a lot to match his energy

Therefore, he doesn't mind filling up the silence or just chatting as the two get to know each other better
Rio tries his best to be friendly too, and he's learning to be more sensitive to other people's feelings--overall a sweet kid who tries his best o/

Oh man I tried to be in-character with him since I realized I didn't you.
I should've but I winged it !

I wanted to give it a little story, it felt a bit empty with just the sketch so yea
and I kind of felt in a story mood tbh~

He appeared to be that way when I saw how happy he looked in your artwork!
Being so young and still a child I pretty much gave him that childlike personality and also thought of how puppies are always so full of energy and playful- I tried to be within that mindset heh

Berry is the same age as him actually, 12-13, a couple months older.
She's still fresh into her life and had the job as a Mail 'Mon for a while.
She wasn't keen on making friends yet and was fine in her solitary little world but came off aloof to most Pokemon and snappy
but she can't help it, she didn't have the best childhood and half the village is full of huge ass animals that could step on her! 
She's only calm with younger 'mons and an overprotective maternal /friend/.

You did a good job, regardless! :'D

It's so nice to see Rio out and about again, hehe

Ooo, I was wondering about that actually since she looked kinda young too
Hopefully Rio's presence is chill enough that she feels like she can relax around him XD
Then again, he's also really energetic too, haha
Good luck, Berry!
