Pokemon: Shinx Sitting (Private with KittyCipher)

[LeapinLiepard]

It was a surprisingly cold morning in the small city of Mapleton. The day and night before, a cold front had come through the area, and both it and the storms that came along brought the temperature down a lot, from the lower 80s, to the upper 30s and lower 40s. While it would warm up some as the day went on, there was still a chill in the air, and many non-Fire type residents wanted to keep as warm as possible. Among them would be a Shiny Luxray named Dawn, standing on the covered porch of her house wearing a navy blue jacket and a gold scarf around her neck. It was after breakfast, and she was waiting for the babysitter to show up. It would be another typical day at the distribution center she worked at, and the electric lion often couldn't help but worry about her son Kion would do by himself, but even with friends telling her over and over again that it would be best, Dawn remained stubborn about wanting to get a babysitter for Kion.

That would change, however, when a few days ago, the 9-year-old Shinx tried to fry some chicken one evening when Dawn had to work late, and in the process, he gave himself quite a few minor burns, made a bit of a mess in the kitchen...and almost burned it down. While he luckily had been taught by a friend's dad how to put out grease fires, finding out what happened scared the daylights out of Dawn, and she did not want it to happen again.

As for Kion? Well, after eating his waffles and hash browns, he had retreated to his room to play on the computer, currently in the middle of building more of his route on a train simulator.

The doorbell rang to their house, it might be the babysitter

[LeapinLiepard]

Dawn hears it, quickly wiping the last few crumbs left at the dining table and throwing the napkin away before running to the front door, slowly opening it to see who's there

[KittyCipher]

A Kantonian Ninetales was at the door

[LeapinLiepard]

"Tina! Welcome!" Dawn greets, smiling at her as she walks out to shake paws. "Glad you could make it."

[KittyCipher]

"Me too." Tina said, shaking her paw. "Where's your little guy?"

[LeapinLiepard]

"He's on his computer right now." Dawn answers, walking into the great room and making a left, stopping just before the hallway. "Kion!" she calls out, getting no response after a few seconds.

Dawn sighs. "He must have his door closed..." she utters, walking to the hallway and looking to her right. Sure enough..."Yep!" Dawn exclaims, walking to his door and knocking.

"Who is it?!" Kion shouts.

"Kion, your babysitter's here. Take a pause and introduce yourself!" Dawn tells him.

"Oh, uh...okay!" The sound of feet hitting carpet floor can be heard, and then footsteps towards the door, before it is unlocked, and pulled open, revealing the Shinx boy to both Kion and Tina. He had on a sky blue collar shirt with a print of a Sky Forme Shaymin getting ready to fire an energy ball, black sweatpants on his hind legs, and on all four feet, were a set of blue velcro shoes with white straps, and a lightning bolt on each side.

"H-hello, Miss...umm..." Kion introduces himself. "What's your name again?"

[KittyCipher]

"I'm Tina, nice to meet you Kion." Tina said kindly

[LeapinLiepard]

"Tina! That's right..." Kion forces a smile and giggles. "It's nice to see you too!" he greets, reaching out to shake paws although a bit nervous on the inside. He hadn't had a babysitter since he was...4 or 5? So he hoped the Ninetales would be nice, and fun to be with

[KittyCipher]

"Aww, such good manners!" Tina said, shaking his paw.
