- Forest off of Route 9 --> Brittanium City
As they were exiting the forest, Ruby had a pouty expression on her face. Lucy figured it was something akin to a lack of attention. I heard that it's quite fatal for 'idol's... she giggled to herself, much to zaps confusion. She wasn't sure what exactly the cause was, but she took in the sight with a smile. Looking at her you wouldn't think that they were the same age but Lucy still found it adorable all the same. Before long, they found themselves on the outskirts of Brittanium City.
Ruby than thought it proper to give them a 'quick' tour, but of course, she took them to only places that interested her, namely fashion and cosmetic shops. Soon enough the pint-sized idol would get lost in her own world and seemed to forget about them altogether. But it seemed like Berry stuck to reality and even made sure the others didn't get lost in the crowd, though, Ven, naturally, was the only one who actually got lost.
Though, Ven, by some miracle, managed to find them in the end. It was nothing new to them, considering he was always getting lost on their journey. Even back home he was always getting lost. She laughed inwardly, recalling all the searches that was made to find him when younger. Soon enough, they all found themselves at Ruby's home and in the presence of her youthful looking mother. She was beautiful and elegant, Lucy couldn't help but be in awe.
Though, she was snapped out of it by Dan's cheesy 'gentleman' act. When the others introductions were over, it was her turn. "It's nice to meet you madam, I'm Lucy. We met at the PokeLab and been journeying together since. It's been a joy to travel with her as your daughter is quite am---something. There's never a dull moment, that's for sure." She laughed to cover up for the fact she almost said 'amusing' again. Whoops.
Now that they were in total relax mode, she let Zap and Glacia out of their pokeballs as they chilled out in Ruby's room. Eventually Lucy, Ruby and Zap settled into playing a pokemon contest battle card game. Whenever Ruby played a decent hand, berry would be there using fairy wind with sparkles in. Though, the game stalled several times because Glacia would occasionally mess with Zap and steal his cards.
Soon, however, the game was stopped when Zap had it and started brawling with Glacia, who even than was still mocking and having its fun with Zap, enraging it further. After laughing at the little scuffle, they found other ways to preoccupy their time. As more time passed, they ran low snacks, and with their traveling supplies also low, Lucy suggested going on a shopping trip with the others. It's been awhile since she last went on one, especially with friends.
