Author's Note:
Here's the extra chapter for reaching 200 votes! Thank you for the support.
Also, I want to make an event here where all of you can comment the shiny pokemon that you want the MC to get. It has to be a poison type though, and it also has to be in the Kanto region. Also, you can put what color will that shiny pokemon have because in here, the shiny pokemon comes in different colors. Comment in this paragraph, and the comment which will have the highest likes will be the shiny pokemon to be chosen.

I took a few hours pondering about life while my pokemon are with me. They're both playing around, and I looked at the sky to only find out that it's already night time.
"Let's go back to Liz, and see how her condition is." I told to both of my pokemon. They both nodded, and we went back to the camp.
I saw Liz unconscious in the bed while Flora and Orange was inside tending for Liz's needs.
"Is she going to be alright?" I asked.
"Yes, her situation now is stable but she would need to rest here for about two weeks before she can start walking around again. But she still has to be careful with her body after two weeks, and it's recommended to not force her body to much." Flora explains as she place a blanked over Liz's body.
"Alright, can we stay here until Liz recovers?" I asked while showing my pitiful eyes to them.
"Hey, kid. Don't use that eyes on us, I know you're more mature for your age." Orange said while ruffling my hair.
"So, can we?" I asked while removing Orange's hands on my head.
"Of course, but you have to do some household chores while you're here. Don't worry it's just about getting some wood for fire, and some edible pokemon meat for our meals. I'm sure you can handle that kid with those two pokemon of yours. Is that ok with you?" Flora asked.
"Of course, then I'll go get some right now." I said, and was about to leave but was stopped by Orange.
"You'll do that starting tomorrow since I've already prepared everything for today. Come with me, and help me cook our dinner instead."
I nodded, and followed Orange to cook some dinner. I've also let my two pokemon go since they have to hunt for their own food.

3 days passed, and I stayed with Flora and Orange in that time. Liz is still unconscious, and I used this time to just train my pokemon. Flora and Orange also taught me many things about berries, plants, some medicinal herds, and even some medical knowledge.
I earned many things while staying here. Orange is also teaching me some exercises to enhance my senses. The clan will teach me these methods after the trials but it's still better to learn it now, besides Orange's teaching might be different from our clan.
"Rem, let's go back to the camp. Let's continue tomorrow." Orange said since it's already starting to get dark.
We went back to the camp, and we saw Flora looking after Liz. Flora saw us, and gave us a wave as a form of greeting.
I looked at Liz condition, and I can see that she's improving. Suddenly, a sound came from her, and then her eyelids slowly opened.
"What… happened? Is.. master… okay?" She said as she looks around the room.
"I'm fine so don't stress too much. Rest first, and we'll have a talk after a week or 2." I said, and I can see her body relax. Her eyes then closed, and I can hear her steady breathing again.
"Your maid is very dedicated to you. It seems you have a good relationship with her." Flora said while giving me a teasing smile.
I just ignored her, and then walked away from the camp since I know she'll just tease me nonstop. That girl likes teasing so much but I know that these two people are nice. Too nice to be exact, and I don't know what will happen to both of them if they continue to be like that. There are many evil people around the world that will take advantage of their kindness, and I'm one of those. I'm currently exploiting their kindness to teach me many things, and even treat Liz's wounds without any kind of payment.
I've already decided to try to change my distrustful nature but that doesn't mean I'll be someone who'll trust anyone easily like Flora and Orange. Currently, Liz is only the one worthy of my trust. I'll try to trust her though but I still have some questions I want to ask her when she gets better.
"Hey, don't run away kid, and help me cook our dinner!" Orange shouted as he drags me towards the makeshift kitchen they have in the camp. I thought I'll get away from this task but I guess not.

Two weeks passed, and Liz was allowed by Flora to get out of her bedridden status from now on. I don't plan to continue our journey though since I plan to stay here for 2 more weeks.
Liz is still not up to her best condition yet, and she needs more time to completely heal.
"Liz come with me, and help me get some wood, and pokemon for our dinner." I said but I plan to talk to her personally about some questions I wanted to ask. Liz nodded, and followed me.
Soon, enough we got far from the camp, and I turned around to look at her.
"Alright, let's talk." I said since I'm sure that it's safe to speak now.
"I have some questions I want to ask. Why do you so badly want to be my personal maid? What would you get in return from this?" I asked since I still have some suspicion about her but it lessened since she risked her life for me.
"To be completely honest, it's also because elder Moi entrusted this task to me, and I wanted to repay her by doing this." Liz explains, and I now understand why a maid is assigned to me. It's that old hag's doing after all this time. What is her motives in doing this?
"Then I would ask you, will you still serve me as your master if I betray the clan?" I asked her since I want to know which side will she pick between me and the clan.
"I…" Liz looks conflicted with my question, and it took her a few minutes before answering.
"I… Is it possible that you'll betray the clan in the future, master?" Liz asked.
"Maybe." This is my answer, and I signaled my hand to golbat to protect me incase Liz suddenly attack me. I'm trying to trust her but it's hard to do it since I'm still adjusting.
Liz got quiet again, and suddenly…
