Gracidea's Golden Shamrock Surprise

Gracidea sighed as she swayed about in the meadow. She felt rather gloomy for some reason. Probably because she was incredibly bored. She listened to the chirping pidgeys and the cooing pidoves, when suddenly a glimpse of something caught her eye.

Looking down, she found a rock. A tiny little golden, shiny, stick pointed out from under it.

Reaching down, she lifted the rock - and revealed a tiny little golden Shamrock. A gold shamrock! exclaimed Gracidea in her mind. What the princess was talking about! She clutched the gold clover in her hand tightly, glad she found one. As she walked up back the path she came from, she saw a figure. A banette, in fact. At first glance, this banette looked like nobody in particular. As the banette passed by Gracidea, she stopped. "Oh, hello there!" she said as she passed the friendly yamask. Gracidea turned up. "Hello! Lovely day today, isn't it?" Gracidea smiled as the Banette replied, "Why yes, it is!" and walked off. Gracidea looked back at the flowing cape that trailed on behind her. Wait a second..

The cape.

Gracidea knew it certainly looked familiar. Looking closer, she saw a burn in the side. A flashback of her past suddenly hit her.

This was the cape of her childhood friend, Mimi the Shuppet!

Her best friend when she was young was a haughty little shuppet named Mimi. She always wore a red cape with a burn you could only see from the back side. "Wait!" called Gracidea. The traveler stopped. "Yes?" asked the Pokemon.

"Does your name happen to be Mimi?"

The Banette looked at her in shock. "M-my name! How did you know my name?!" she exclaimed. "I don't even know you!". Gracidea smiled and said, "Yes, you do. Happen to know a Mincinno named Gracidea?"

There was silence.

"..You are..?" she said finally. Gracidea was sure this was Mimi. Gracidea nodded slowly. "I'm so sorry!" Mimi said surprised. Gracidea reassuringly said, "No no! It's fine! At least you're here now!" The two smiled and laughed, and, clutching her shamrock tightly, Gracidea took Mimi to her home.
