Maker placed her arm around Otis. "Now now Michael, my Otis can ask whatever she wants, she doesn't need a reason." She looked back at Leo. "By the way, Otis is your master also, ok?"
Leo nodded in agreement. "Got it. The items have been mailed by the way." He showed her a receipt.
Maker smiled. "Good job! Now I say we get out of here and go look for the rest of the group at the Pokemon center. What do you all think?"
Azumi finished her work and closed her laptop. "Well that was disappointing..." She said as she leaned back on the coach.
Nana would giggle every once in a while behind the couch. Azumi couldn't take the curiosity anymore and went to go look. Nana would do a twirl and the Buneary would nod in different ways, as if judging her performance. When the Buneary would approve, Nana would giggle, but the Buneary didn't, Nana would try again. Azumi smiled as the Buneary seemed more at ease, her long bunny ears were still on alert though. After a few moments both Pokemon noticed Azumi's presence. Nana greeted her happily while the Buneary just gave her a mean look. "We need to give you a bath." Azumi said while looking at the bunny pokemon. Nana cheered, which seemed to keep the Buneary calm. Azumi gently picked up the small pokemon and took her to the bathroom. While Azumi adjusted the water and filled the tub, Nana showed the Buneary some of her toys. It included a small Poliwag that squirted water and a rubber Psyduck.
When the bath was set Azumi looked at the Buneary. "I have the perfect name for you... Such a strong female reminds me of Joan of the arc." She slowly picked up the Buneary, who seemed interested on what Azumi was saying. "You see, a long long time ago girls were not allowed in the army. Men believed their purpose was a stay at home mom and nothing more." She slowly placed the Pokemon in the water, but the Buneary was too distracted by the story, she wasn't bother at all. "Then a war between two regions broke out. Many pokemon and men died in the battlefield. During the war Joan was born and grew up. She believed strongly in her king and wanted to serve the country. So... Without permission, she went to war and lead her region to countless victories. Her specialty was using an arc." Azumi scrubbed the bunny pokemon, she noticed that a lot of filth was coming out. "She quickly grew famous since her Region was now winning the war thanks to her. But, the two kings were not happy." She continued to wash the Buneary, and noticed that she was really skinny, her spine and ribs could be felt. Azumi's heart broke as she felt this, but continued with the story. "The enemy king was embarrassed since his army was being dominated by a woman and Joann's king was ashamed that his victories were because of a woman. So they two kings met and they both agreed that Joan must not continue to battle." The Buneary seemed startled by the story, but continued to allow Azumi to bathe her. "So, one day they had her captured. She was betrayed by her own men and handed over to the enemy. After being held prisoner for a long time, she was then burned alive." The Buneary started at Azumi with watery eyes. "Awful right? I had the same reaction when my dad told me the story. But, you can live up to her name and continue fighting for what is right, what do you say?" She smiled and the Buneary nodded in approval. Azumi took her out the bath and began drying her. "Then you are now Joan, the Buneary."
