Weekly Prompt: Pokemon at the Grocery Store

As another morning rose here on Akala Island, I began walking to the grocery store near Wela Volcano Park. I had to buy things for a picnic that me and Kiawe were having. I knew this part was against my better judgement but I brought my Raichu along. Raichu loves to eat fruit and our theme is fruit. I grabbed a basket and without a second to spare, Raichu was already gone. I groaned and grabbed up a few things I needed anyways and then began the search for Raichu. I had put my bandana on it so I'd be able to spot it a mile away.

I kept looking but to no such luck. I closed my eyes and took a deep breath. Raichu had to be close by. "Alola," a voice greeted. I looked up and saw Gladion. I smiled at him but then looked away. "Raichu huh?"

"Yeah. He disappeared and I was only going to be a few minutes," I confessed. He chuckled and handed me a flute.

"Play this. It'll attract great attention for customers and it'll also hopefully catch the attention of your Raichu," he advised. I nodded and took a deep breath before beginning to play a melody my mother taught me when I was young.

Slowly I saw people gather all around and enjoying my music. But finally, the face I wanted showed up. Raichu was there with his face full. "Raichu," I groaned.

"It's okay. Raichu was merely testing my food that I had planned for our date," a voice chuckled. I whisked my head around and blushed. Raichu had gone with Kiawe. "I wanted your date on Wela Volcano perfect so I asked Raichu to taste some things for me," he assured.

"Oh. Well now I feel stupid," I admitted.

"Don't. Kiawe was trying to be helpful and forgot you'd need to see Raichu to not worry," Gladion chuckled.
