Intermission Story Between ( Pg - 5 )  and ( Pg - 6 )



    Progress was made with thinking of a plan to get Tiva out, What was left was to get the needed tools and items to help on the mission. Chloe, Minu and Floot went their separate ways to find what they needed, Chloe and Minu looked to find a shovel and Floot wanted to grab something he kept as a keepsake from the Moon Pool. 

    He forgot for a moment where he left it in the house, Chloe was rather pushy to get the team outside to discuss so he had to place these things somewhere. He went back into the house to investigate.


    The house was a little more empty than initially when both guilds were occupying it, guessing now that the rest of the teams went ahead to follow other plans they had, they did spend a while talking. Floot took a glance around the room, some things caught his eyes, like the instruments littering across the floor and the dusty furniture. 

    He looked in under and in between the cushions, dust just went everywhere when he took out his ribbon. He had what he needed for a moment, but the dust went into his eyes and caused him to let them go. He waved his ribbons in an effort to clear his view, his lack of sight made him swipe onto a glass surface on the wall and skewed it somewhat.

    Rubbing the dust from his eyes showed what he swiped on, a photograph partially covered up by some cloth, what could be seen are some pokemon he’s not familiar with. He tried to lift it up.


    “Please! Don’t touch that!”

    “Huh?!” The worried voice caught Floot off guard and pushed him back from the picture. One of his ribbons was caught by an instrument and fell down, knocking him on the back.

    “AH! I’m sorry!” The voice came running downstairs to check on him, it was the owner of the house, Reiko.

    Floot felt some slight pain, but he didn’t see it as bad. “I’m alright, no worries”, He got back up and unhinged himself from the instrument. Reiko still went up to him to check on his status.

“I should be sorry, I kinda looked through your stuff without asking”

“It’s alright. You were just getting, a little too close.”

“A-again, I’m very sorry! I should just-” Floot touched the floor as much as he could, but he seemed to have lost his items again. “Uhhh… where did it-”

“You’re looking for something?” The Flaaffy asked as Floof scrambled a bit to find his items. 

“Y-yeah, I was initially looking for my screws before I lost them again”

“Screws?”

“I swear they are important to me, I just need to...” Floot stuck his ribbon into the bell of a trumpet and felt something. “Ah!” He pulled out to show his screws. They were just some rusty screws to normal eyes, but coming from the Moon Pool, Floot knew what he could do with them.

Taking the screws made him notice the instruments. He took the trumpet he found the screws in and brought it up to Reiko. “You got a lot of instruments here”

“Yeah, though most of them are for the rest of the Summer Petals”

“Oh, So you are part of a band?”.

“Y-yeah”, Reiko held her hands together tight, “We play sometimes for the city”.

“Wow. I’ve never heard of your band though.” Floot looked at Reiko and looked at the trumpet again, he taps her shoulder and presents the trumpet to her. ”Do you think, you can give me a small piece? I’m just curious”

Reiko was a little resistant with her hands still interlocked each other, but Floot’s curious eyes persuaded her enough to play a bit. She placed the trumpet on her lips and began to blow into it. Its mellow yet strong sounds filled the room, it made Floot feel good and even peppy at some points in the music. He swayed his ribbons to the beat, he enjoyed the performance Reiko was putting on.

When she finished, Floot gave small claps to her to applaud her for that piece. “That was beautiful! It really is!”

“Thanks, I kinda enjoy it too, just playing it”, Reiko smiled a bit.

“I can see” Floot continued to clap, and sees the the small smile Reiko is showing. Something else though also caught his attention when he sees something in the background. 

The picture wasn’t fixed so it still stayed on a slanted angle. The cloth that was hiding a part of it fell off and showed what was hiding, pokemon lined up, he’s heard of one or two of those pokemon from Minu, guild leaders. He remembers the connection, and curious to know, he pressed Reiko.

“Reiko, can I ask you something?”

“Um, sure”

    “You sure handing over the guild to Pandora was a confident decision?”

    Reiko flinched, she didn’t want to answer that and kept shut

    “With the confidence you had playing your trumpet, You could be a good guild leader”

    “I-i’m not fit for being a guild leader. Giving it to Pandora then I thought was good since she was-”

    “I remember though, The leaders said that Pandora isn’t as trusting as she appears. You knew about that right?”

    “Y-yeah kinda, but she’s just at the time much more mature than me, a better fit for a leader”, Reiko began to clench her arm, becoming more uncomfortable with the subject. Floot was getting uncomfortable too, but he was still curious about Reiko’s decision.

    “Pandora though, from what I've heard, she’s not as “leader-like” as our guild leaders. Leaving work to be done by the others. She’s not a leader, you could be though if you had that confidence”

    “I’m not good enough though to be a leader, I was still learning when… when-”, Reiko began to sniffle and tear, getting her down on her knees and break down.

Floot began to panic as well, and brought down to her level to try to comfort her. “It's alright! With what you showed me, you can still be a good leader”

“But I won’t be! You don’t know what I’ve been through! After all that I can’t possibly be a good leader!”

“You never tried though! You don’t know if you would be good or not, You can get help!”

“It’s not worth it! I’ll just screw something up! The guild would be in shambles if I lead!”

“AT LEAST YOU STILL HAVE A CHANCE!!!”

Reiko stopped talking and looked at Floot. He began to cry as well, held her shoulders tightly and looked at her eyes straight.

“You haven’t screwed up yet! You are only assuming you can! You don’t know if you would screw up or not!

Pokemon still have great views of you, they don’t judge you, they don't have any BAD Actions to judge you on just yet! 

    You got support! You got pokemon to help you out! YOU AREN’T A WRECK WHO DOESN’T HAVE ANYONE TO DEPEND ON CAUSE OF SOME STUPID MISTAKE YOU MADE!!!”

    Reiko was scared, her mouth was locked up and she couldn’t say anything to the Drifblim, who was now on the floor, tears were streaking his face, and hiding his face from the Flaaffy. Floot looked up to see Reiko, shaking and now beyond frozen.

    Floot realized what he has done, he snapped at this poor Flaaffy when she just needed some encouragement. He slowly flies up to apologize to Reiko, but she backs away at the same pace. Floot sees the horror in her eyes, now just scared. 

He without thinking floats closer to Reiko and hugs her as his apology.

“I’m so, so sorry. I just, don’t like to see good potential skill to be hidden away”

He hugs her, hoping that he convinced her a little bit.

“Please, just please understand...”

.

He felt a small hug back from the Flaaffy, holding his big body close.

“I’ll… I’ll think about it...”


    Floot cried some more, he was a mix of emotions at once. He scared this pokemon but

maybe as well changed her mind as well, its too much to think about at once.

    He gave him and Reiko some space, “I need to go. My team is waiting for me at this point”

“Alright then”.

Floot looked around again to find his screws and grabbed them from the floor. He wiped

the remaining water from his eyes and got close to the exit of the house.

“Thank you again for letting us stay here for the time being”

“If it’s to get Tiva, then it's alright”

Floot nodded and left the house. 


He still didn’t feel right about snapping at Reiko like that, it brought up memories he

didn’t want to remember again, and he just wanted to forget that memory as well.

“Hey Floot!”

Floot hears that familiar voice. Looking behind the trees he spots his team now with the

shovel they would need to dig into the ground

“Sorry, I just needed to grab something I dropped”

“Hmph, well it better be useful for out plan or else our wait would be in vain” Chloe huffed.

Floot squinted at the statement but didn’t react to it, cause now what was important was getting Tiva out.


Yep, I didn't forget that Team Hazard exists and Floot has an arc
At least he tried to comfort Reiko, Advice is trustworthy when you've gone through worse.

Also, I kinda wanna give a medal to this piece now, for being the best I've gotten so far with this new brush.
I'm liking more and more the painted look~
