While we talked about various topics, I realized I never asked for her name or introduced myself.
“I’m embarrassed but I think I forgot to ask for your name thanks to all the excitement.” I said while sheepishly rubbing the back of my head.
“Ha!” she bellowed out a laughter “It seem that in my old age I forgot my manners! I get lost when I talk to interesting people!” she said with a wink making me fidget with embarrassment.
“My name is Morgana Le Fay, but most people just call me Ana or old bag!” She laughed at her own joke. I wanted to cringe at such a bad joke, but I couldn't, the way she radiated Joy was just too infectious. It’s weird that she has that name given the fact I am pretty sure they didn’t have the Arthurian myths here, or did they? I think there was a Pokémon myth about an Aegislash choosing a King. So maybe that was where her name came from?
“My name is Lucy! I’m excited to learn from you!”
“That’s very good then because I plan to teach you more then just how to train Pokémon. I will teach you everything I know! From cooking to sewing to how to create a computer out of scrap!” she said excited.
“Yes ‘mam!” I answered with much determination, I won’t let this chance go to waste! If I had the opportunity to learn from such an experienced person before my life would have gone very differently. I’m so happy I met a kind person willing to stick around with me.
“That’s the spirit! We will begin with something simple today, I will teach you my Sinnoh famous Soup recipe!”
----------------------------------------
“How did you set soup on fire?”
“I don’t know.” I squeaked out.
“It is literally made liquid water!”
“Yip.” I pushed out embarrassed.

“I… we didn’t even use oil…” she tried to make eye contact with me, but I looked away to shield me from the shame. No one ever taught me…
“Very well! That won’t push us down! I can see now that cooking shall not be your expertise but we will find something you will excel at. Let’s try sewing next!”
----------------------------------------
“Aha! You are a natural at this! Not one mistake! Look at the seam allowance! Look at the seam! It is incredibly consistent. Flawless even! I barely had to explain how the sewing machine worked. I can see you have a way greater affinity towards sewing then cooking!” She said while hugging me. Which made me tear up. When was the last time someone hugged me? I can’t remember. This feels so nice.
She seems to notice me crying and asked If I wanted to talk about it but I shook my head so she just continued holding me until I stopped crying. For the rest of the day, she taught me the basics about different cuts and folds before showing me how she trains Guardy. It was incredibly interesting, she asked her to move the entire house and the mega Gardevoir just psychically bench pressed it before teleporting us and the house to a new location. Before going to bed she told me that tomorrow she would teach me about the history of Fairy trainers. I thought I wouldn’t be able to sleep because I was so excited but as soon as my head hit the pillow I was out cold.
----------------------------------------
“We Fairy-type specialist have a long history behind us.”
“um? Didn’t you say that the type was discovered only recently?” I asked slightly confused.
“I was about to come to that part! For our lessons Guardy and I will use Fairy and Psychic energy to make you learn faster and help you retain the information, don’t worry it is not harmful at all! Let’s start, just because it hasn’t been scientifically discovered at that time doesn’t mean we have no traditions. We at that time didn’t know it was a type but that never stopped us from forming teams with them. We were drawn to them similarly to how some trainers are drawn to dragon types, nowadays we of course know that that is because of aura and type-energy resonance that different trainer possess but back in the days we didn’t have the words to express it. Because of that we were often shunned by other trainers. You will find that historically misfits and outcasts were often drawn toward fairy Pokémon. To Identify each other so we could safely hang out and share tips we had certain Identifier. One of them being a big Keyring hanging on the left side of the hip, emulating a Klefki and speaking of it, here.” She said while giving me a big Keyring maybe only a Jailor would wear. Even though it looked ridiculous I accepted it with true joy. That little gift meant a lot to me it. It showed that she cared and wants me to be part of her traditions. Something I never had.
I hugged her and thanked her from the bottom of my heart.
