After yesterday evening you couldn't help but feel super happy all day. You decided in the morning that you'd take Boris and Freckles to Meleemelee Meadow. Boris loves hanging out and sunbathing with the Metapods and Lazy Caterpies whole Freckles spends the entire time chasing the Butterfree and Cutiflies. It also gives you time to soak up some sun and have some peace. Peace, love, a d tranquility is what we're all about! Or is it Love, Peace, and French Fry Grease? Either way Hoorah Pacifism! 

You closed your eyes and let the sun hit your skin, tanning you and the flowers around you. Yellow was just the color of happiness and calm. Everything was warm and just an all around a good time. You looked around to make sure the two didn't stray too far. Freckles found her way on an Oricoro's back, riding them like a Ponyta. Boris was just sunbathing and living his best life. Everything is great.

"Oh! I didn't expect to see you here, my dear. What a pleasant surprise~"

You turn around and see Ilima there, holding Smeargle in his arms and having Yungoos sleeping on his head as he walked. You felt your face flush, this not being expected at all, and you hugged your knees. Ilima sat down next to you cross legged, setting the sleepy Smeargle on the ground and Yungoos jumping off of him. Yungoos ran right into the grass and Smeargle groggily stood up, trying to wake up. However, your eyes were glued to the ground. You couldn't bring yourself to look over at him out of embarassment.

"Good morning, (name)~"

He sang it out, looking to start a conversation. You pride your eyes away from from the ground and looked over at him. He was doing that thing where he leaned back and over a little towards you, looking directly at your eyes and craning his neck down a little bit to look at you at eye level. You really should say something back.

"Good morning Capt- Uh, err. My bad! Good Morning Ilima."

He laughed at you again and you awkwardly smiled. You blew it. You flinched a little bit when you felt something on your leg. You looked down and saw tired little Smeargle trying to climb on you like a playset. You lowered your knees and Smeargle climbed over your legs clumsily trying to get in your lap. Enchanted by the moment, you crossed your legs to make it easier on the little guy. Smeargle made it up to your lap and held his little arms up, as of telling you to pick him up. You rose an eyebrow, confused until Ilima gave you the answer.

"I guess Smeargle still doesn't like waking up as early as I do. He's asking you to hold him."

Hold him? You picked Smeargle up from underneath the arms and cradled him in your arms like you'd do with Freckles. Smeargle instantly smiled and closed his giant eyes. Did Smeargle just already fall asleep? Having Pokémon fall asleep in your arms is the most magical thing in the world. You couldn't help but smile.

"You're smile's really pretty."

You whip your head to look over at Ilima, who doesn't mind in the slightest that he just flirted with you. Your heart literally did acrobatics in your chest. Oh Arceus take the wheel. Wait, didn't we already make that joke last chapter? Whatever. It still applies.

"Oh! Uh... Your smile is gorgeous too. And your hair. And your eyes... I should shut up now ha ha."

You just wanted to return the favor, but you ended up making yourself look like a nerd. Let the author tell you a secret: nerds rule the world! Nerds are the best~ You glanced over at your Pokémon, avoiding Ilima's gave out of shame. Freckles had found Boris on his sunbathing rock and had fallen asleep with him. It looks like everyone is sleepy on this Sunday Morning. However, Ilima wasn't going to let that compliment chain go.

"You really like all that about me? You're very sweet, my dear. Boop~"

He flicked his index finger over your nose, giving it a nice Boop. Oop, now you got a big bloosh. You turned your head, extremely embarassed again. Cute blushy nerd~ Ilima laughed at your adorkableness yet again. You looked down at Smeargle and noticed that Yungoos was running up to you too. Yungoos jumped on top of Smeargle in your arms, waking him up with a snort. Oh nooo. Smeargle lazily climbed down and walked into the flowers, trying to find the hiding Yungoos.... now your arms feel cold...

There's a relaxing silence as a small breeze brushes over the flowers. Freckles woke up because of this and found Yungoos, who ran up to her. Yungoos grabbed onto Freckles and pulled her into the flowers. He brought her to Smeargle, who picked her up and was instantly awake and happy. No drowsiness anymore. Because of the lack of warmth, Boris woke up and looked around. He saw you with Ilima and cheered a greeting. You waved at him and he waved his tail like a hand. Boris is just so adorable you can't really help but get a smile on your face.

Today is really great.
