Prompt:
Two children ran though the forest. Their voices constantly broke through the relative silence.
"Come on!" the trotting Skiddo yelled to the Buneary bounding next to her. "You need to see this!"
"I'm hurrying as fast as I can!" she yelled back.
The Skiddo stopped right outside a field of colorful flowers. The Buneary didn't stop, however, and crashed right into a bush full of small white flowers. The Skiddo laughed, and soon the Buneary was laughing with her.
"Daisy, how did you find this place? The Buneary said, looking around. "It's amazing!"
"I don't know. I just stumbled upon it a few days ago." the Skiddo replied. They were the only ones there, and the songs of wild bird Pokemon could be heard in the distance.
"Okay. Well, thank you for showing me this place. I love it!" The Buneary hopped off to explore, leaving Daisy alone. She took a few yellow flowers in her hooves, and awkwardly started weaving a small flower crown. By the time the Buneary was springing back, she had only made one flower crown. Daisy took a yellow flower and put it behind her ear.
"Hey, Clara, I made you something."
Daisy put the flower crown on Clara's head. The two friends both smiled.
"I'm glad we're friends." Clara said.
"I am, too."

"Alright, so a..." Abigail read the job notice to her team. "...Buneary wants us to find a treasure in a..." she hesitated. "...volcano? I didn't know there were any volcanoes near here."
Daisy's eyes lit up. "A Buneary? I wonder if it's Clara!" She smiled.
"Clara? Who's Clara?" Bishop asked.
"She's just an old friend of mine. We've kind of lost touch, though." she explained.
"It would be cool if it was." commented Fig. "I wish someone from my past would suddenly appear..." he looked kind of sad.
"Hey, what's wrong, Fig?" asked Daisy.
"It's a long story..." he said. "But, nevermind about that, we've got a volcano to explore."

Abigail, Fig, Elliot and Daisy were all covered in ash when they returned to meet the Buneary. They held a small pouch full of gems and other valuables. As the Buneary hopped up, Daisy's heart sank. The Buneary was not Clara. Abigail handed over the pouch. The Buneary gave his thanks and turned to hop away.
"Wait!" Daisy shouted. The Buneary turned around. "Before you go, do you happen to know another Buneary named Clara?"
The Buneary thought for a moment. "Clara... I think that's the name of one of my younger sisters, but, yet again, there are over 20 of us. I could be wrong."
Daisy's eyes lit up. "Really? Do you think you could take us to where she might be?"
"I don't know about that, but I could take you back to our burrows. She could be there."
"Would you, please?" She asked. The Buneary nodded. "Thank you."
The Buneary led them to a green hill covered in holes. Many Buneary were popping in and out, playing with their siblings. One certain Buneary spotted them. She had a yellow flower crown, which, despite being very old, was in very good condition. She waited until the Skiddo spotted her. Daisy started walking up to her. "Clara?"
"Daisy? Is that you?"
She nodded as she wiped some ash off her face. "Don't let the ash deceive you. It's me."
Clara laughed. "You're still funny, huh?"
Daisy smiled. "You still have that flower crown I gave you way back when?"
"Yep. You were my best friend, and when you took me to that field, it was my first true adventure. My mom put it in something that made it not wither. I don't know what it was... I've worn it every day since then. And it looks like you still have a flower behind your ear too. Just like the one you had that day." She saw the rest of Team Wonder approaching and backed off. "Who are these Pokemon?"
"Oh, they're my friends. I'm part of an exploration team now. We're Team Wonder. This is Abigail, and that's Fig and Elliot." said Daisy. Elliot hid behind Abigail. "So, what do you do now?"
"I'm still trying to figure it out... Nothing really feels right, you know?"
"Have you tried exploration? You could join our team to see how it is." Abigail offered. "Then, if you like it, you could join our team for good."
"Well," Clara said with hesitation, "I'll try, as long as I can do it with Daisy. But, I don't think I'll be good at it."
"That's the thing. We're all learning. But we're learning together. We all help each other. We're just one big, happy family."
"I bet it's not as big as MY family." Clara giggled. She thought for a moment. "Okay." Clara answered. "I'll give exploration a try."
