She was becoming more and more prepped for battle and Mizumi was utterly delighted. He wanted her to become big and strong so she could go into raids and such - at the moment, he was still too overprotective of her and worried she was too little and too naive to go into a true raid. Today they practiced several moves and different attacks before heading out to the usual spots. Mizumi had hoped they would run into a specific Pokemon.. but he wasn't going to tell Kaede that - he wanted her mind to be purely on honing her talents and getting ready to face any challenge, not searching for what her trainer wanted. "Keep your eyes open, let's not let anyone get the jump on us this time." ENTERING THE TALL GRASS! When a Wild PKMN appears, reply using the ~~ATTACK~~ button to weaken it! But watch out— it might fight back! If your PKMN faints, you must go to the closest SHRINE to restore your PKMN. When the Wild PKMN's HP reaches 10% or below, up to 2 players may spend 25 BYTES to catch it here. You may also simply ~~retreat~~ to end the encounter. Retreating succeeds automatically.

I feel like I'm losing touch with my art, so I want to start sewing again. Designing clothing and equipment.. I think it would be rather fun!" He glanced down at the little grass type who hopped alongside him, eyes wide and curious. 'That's why we have to find a very specific friend - one who can help me.. until then, we're going to battle our hearts out! After all, who said we can't be cute and lethal?" He laughed and Kaede chirped, hopping up and down. She quite enjoyed the aspect of being both lethal and adorable!

Mizumi stopped to stare at the squirrel and debated a moment before nodding to Kaede. "You've got this. We're going to go all out and you're going to knock it out of the park!" He smiled to try and reassure her while saying this, while the little grass type gave a determined nod. Taking a stance, she pawed at the ground before charging forward, aiming to tackle the chubby-cheeked new arrival. Sorry but there was only room for one cutie on this battlefield!

Mizumi worried for a moment and started to approach, but Kaede stopped her little foot, showing that she wasn't ready to take a break. Understanding, Mizumi simply sighed and smoothed down the skirt of their dress. No fussing.. she was a big girl, Mizumi couldn't baby her forever. "You're doing so good, darling. Keep it up! You're gonna wreck it!" He couldn't intervene, but he could encourage her - support her, guide her. Just like a parent, really. "Do a long-distance attack, give yourself some space"

After all, Kaede seemed to be holding up pretty well and she looked determined. Her little brows were furrowed and she wiggled her body as she prepared for another tackle. She was slowly becoming more confident, more willing to jump into battles on her own without guidance every step of the way. Mizuumi was both thankful and a bit lukewarm - it was always sad watching your little ones grow up too quickly. "Keep at it, you've got this!"

Mizumi flinched a bit and coaxed Kaede back towards him. She was getting pretty beat up and so he stroked her head gently, sighing. "You really do go all out, don't you? Don't worry, we'll work on it together.. we just need to get you used to battles! You're doing so great." He smiled at her warmly, scratching the back of her head before looking at the chubby fiend. "Keep doing long distance, even if it doesn't do as much, it will give you time to rest and relax.. we'll keep it up, short and long, keep them on their toes, okay?"

Laughing, Mizumi ran after her the best he could, cheeks a bit flushed as he tried to keep his skirt from flaring up as they ran. Once the squirrel was back into view, Mizumi stopped to catch his breath, but Kaede didn't hesitate, bolting right towards those chubby cheeks and attempting to headbutt, letting out the most adorable war cry.

Kaede stood there panting.. but once she realized she had won, happy chirps filled the air. Hopping in place for a moment, she trotted back to Mizumi and happily rubbed against their leg, to which Mizumi laughed, picking up the little pokemon and happily nuzzling her, kissing the top of her head. "You did so so amazing! Oh, I'm so proud of you!!" Kaede was getting so strong.. one day, she wouldn't need Mizumi's constant protection and he'd be protected by her - it was hard to think of her not being a precious baby. Oh well, worries for another day, today was for celebrating!
