"Im home!!" Daisy yelled as footsteps could be heard coming inside the house.

A beautiful woman, around her thirties, who looked just like Daisy, opened the door with an apron hanging in her neck.

"Daisy! What's with the sudden visit? You didn't even bother informing us." The woman stated while holding Daisy's hand.

"I wanna surprise you guys, mom!" Daisy excitedly responds to her mom.

The two then went on to hug each other, showing how much they missed each other.

Daisy's mom broke free from the hug as she noticed Tobi who was just looking at them calmly without making noise in concern of disturbing the two.

"Oh my! I didn't notice you there, dear." Daisy's mom said to Tobi while covering her mouth with her hand.

"It's ok ma'am." Tobi respectfully replied stating that he doesn't mind.

"Daisy, why don't you introduce your Boyfriend." Daisy's mom said to Daisy mistaking Tobi as Daisy's boyfriend.

"What! He's not my boyfriend, mom! we're just friends!" Daisy nervously explained in fear of having a misunderstanding not only with her mother but also with Tobi.

"Heh, we're just friends ma'am, my name is Tobi" Tobi took the initiative in introducing himself noticing how shy Daisy was.

"Friends huh? what a shame.." Daisy's mom stated deeming Tobi as a handsome young lad, perfectly fit with her daughter.

"Mom! let's just get inside!" Daisy was getting embarrassed at her mom's antics as she dragged her inside the house.

The two went inside while Tobi just tag along and followed behind them.

Daisy's mom lead the two into the dining room where they sat down.

"Your arrival was just in time as I had just finished cooking." Daisy's mom stated while serving the plates and the food on the table.

"Hmmm, delicious!" Daisy praised even though she was haven't tasted it and only smelled it.

"Indeed." Tobi also said trying to get into Daisy's mom's good side.

"By the way mom, where is Blue?" Daisy asked out of the blue after not seeing her little brother.

"Hays, I'm sure that kid was still asleep. Excuse me for a minute, I'll get your brother." Daisy's mom helplessly said while wiping her hand with a towel.

She gently put down the towel and head straight to the stairs.

"It's nice here." Tobi commented looking around the Oak's manor while at the same time, investigating each corner of the room.

"Thank you! it's nice that you liked it." Daisy happily responds while twirling her hair using her fingers.

"You've grown up in a nice place, I envy you." Tobi suddenly stated catching Daisy out of guard.

"We'd been together for a while now but I still haven't known a single thing about you." Daisy found the perfect chance to know Tobi better.

"Can I ask what type of lifestyle you had growing up?" Daisy asked while Tobi remained silent causing an awkward 3 seconds silence.

"Ah! I'm sorry, that's a strange thing to ask!" Daisy quickly apologize realizing how inconsiderate her question was.

"No, it's ok." Tobi said showing that he didn't mind, his grip on the spoon on his hand tighten as he seems to be in deep thought.

Tobi smiled helplessly as he looked straight into Daisy's eyes with a serious face.

"I'm an orphan, my parents died in a Pokemon outbreak near our house when I was only 7 years old." Tobi said with a sad tone trying to be pitiful which worked extremely well!

" *Sniff* *Sniff* I'm sorry for your loss." Daisy comforted while trying to stop her tears from falling.

"Thank you." Tobi replied with a genuine tone.

"Sis!" Their conversation was interrupted by an exclaimed which sounded like a child's voice.

"Blue!" Daisy also exclaimed recognizing the kid who was running toward them with a smile on his face.

'Blue Oak! the main Rival of Pokemon Firered Protagonist, Red!' Tobi also recognized Daisy's little brother but due to different reasons.

Blue Oak was an extremely talented trainer and according to the game, Blue reached the Champion stage rank in just a year but Tobi thought that's extremely unlikely to happen.

A bead of sweat dripped into Tobi's forehead guessing how troublesome his mission would be.

Blue Oak existent also means that others also exist with would be a great obstacle for Tobi's ambitions.

"Why didn't you inform us that you'll be visiting!" Blue's reaction was the same as his mother.

"Surprise! Hahaha, come sit." Daisy said while tapping an empty chair beside her.

Blue head toward the chair Daisy was tapping and sat down on it.

He moved his gaze at the person besides Daisy which he only noticed just now.

"Sis, who's this? your Boyfriend??" Blue asked not forgetting to tease her sister.

"He's just a friend!" Daisy quickly denied but a hint of blush was noticeable on her cheek.

"Hello, I'm Tobi, Daisy's friend." Tobi initiates a conversation as he introduces himself.

"Well if you say so." Blue doesn't care for Daisy's love life as he just shrugged it off.

"Come on let's eat!" Daisy's mom finally arrived as she sat down beside Blue.

"Let's eat!" Blue exclaimed as he was about to eat but was stopped by Daisy's mom.

"Don't forget to pray!" Daisy's mom lectured Blue and then take lead in prayers.

"Thank you, Lord, for all of the....." Daisy's mom take the lead in the prayer which lasted for a few minutes but fortunately, it was finally done.

"Let's eat!" Daisy's mom stated and in the hopeful and hungry eyes of Blue, she also took the lead in eating.

"Thank you for the food!" They all exclaimed before starting consuming the food on their plate.
