I wake up to a party popper. I jump. I hear laughter.

"Happy Birthday!" Lillie, Belle, and Danny yell. "Wait... it is my birthday!" The Pokémon center guest room has decorations, and a cake. "Did you cook the cake?" I ask Danny.

He nods, seemingly proud of his work.

We have a great day of battles, food, a few gifts, and training.

The next day I get back to training so I can defeat the next gym leader.
