![]() "So, Gallian, still trying to get Psycho Cut working, huh?" "Now, now, let's just enjoy lunch," Incineroar said. Gallian's eyes flickered with interest, while Tessa's face blanched. "If you're still this riled up after eating, you can have a practice battle." "Settle down, both of you," Prisma said, passing them plates of food. "Nuh-uh! Learning a new move isn't cheating. "Nnnrrrgh… you cheated," he accused, frowning. Gallian walked over, blinking stars out of his eyes. "Looks like someone's just learned Quick Attack," Incineroar said. Tessa popped up right next to him and stumbled the rest of the way to the picnic blanket. The confident smirk on Gallian's face disappeared and, seconds later, he fell to the ground. Then, surprisingly, she vanished in the blink of an eye. Her eyes squinted shut and she ducked her head down as Gallian's lead increased on her. "I'm gonna get there first," Gallian called. They turned around simultaneously and sprinted toward her. "Kids! Lunchtime," Prisma called, spreading out a picnic blanket. "And don't you go forgetting it!" He lowered his scythe, which flickered with pink energy before abruptly fizzling out. You're bigger and stronger than me!" Tessa protested, rubbing her tail as she got to her feet. Her parents couldn't help but laugh as her eyes comically widened upon landing on her tail. Tessa started backpedaling, only to trip and fall on her rear. "Now… taste this!" He reared back and clubbed the ball with the flat of his scythe. "Ha! Nice try, sis, but it'll take more than that to get one past me," Gallian boasted. He lunged in front of the ball and used his body to block it from rolling away. "No, it's 'take things one day at a time.' For now, let's just focus on enjoying our time together as a family." He looked down the hill and watched as Tessa tossed the ball toward Gallian. "Always go for seconds at dinner?" Prisma replied. How are you possibly going to find the time?" "But, if the Tapus are working on the dungeons, you're going to be flooded with work starting tomorrow. "We really should take the kids to see him, soon. I can barely get more than a couple of sentences out of him when I go to visit." He looked up to the sky. "But, truthfully? Losing Mom has hit him pretty hard. He'll never admit that anything's getting to him." He wrapped an arm around Prisma. He's still having a rough time of things, isn't he?" "Err, sorry, I probably shouldn't have said that. "At the very least, your dad'll appreciate her company." She removed her paw from his waist and rubbed her shoulder. I'd figure she'd just stay with us forever." ![]() "Man, never thought I'd end up seeing the day where Leafeon would retire. She said it'd be helpful with preparing him to take over as my assistant." "Besides, Braviary and Leafeon are holding down the fort. That's why I gave the whole guild the day off!" he said, giving her a thumb's up. You felt the tremors when you woke up too, right? The Tapus are out reshaping the Mystery Dungeons. "Are you sure you're not needed back at the guild for anything?" Prisma asked. "Relax, sweetie, I'm just having a little fun," Incineroar said, feigning a hurt expression. "You know, if you're gonna be like that, there's nothing stopping me from taking the food and waltzing out of here," Prisma pouted. "It hasn't been that obvious since I became a Lucario," she insisted. "Are you kidding? You've been running with your arms stuck out like Lati wings since the day I met you," Incineroar said with a chuckle. "I so don't run like that," Prisma grumbled. She had a basket hanging loosely off her right arm, while her left arm was wrapped around Incineroar's waist, a safe distance above his fiery belt. He looked to his right, where Prisma walked alongside him. "She runs just like you do, you know that?" "… heh." Incineroar rubbed the bridge of his nose. "Not if I get it first!" Gallian shouted, speeding off after her. She threw her arms to the side and dashed off after the ball. "You better get ready." He wound up with a foreleg and launched a small rubber ball well over Tessa's head. "Okay!" Gallian's squeaky voice echoed through the park. "Hurry up, Gallian! Kick the ball," she squealed, turning around to backpedal. It was into this park that a young Tessa sprinted, turning to look over her shoulder. It featured a sandbox in the shape of a Sandygast to keep children entertained. ![]() As its name suggested, it was a small, open field running up a grassy hill. On the outskirts of Horizon's quietest community sat Hillside Park. XxX Bonus: Family Picnic ~Sunrise Village~
