Whitney is already there waiting for her and smiles as she spots Victoria coming. "Wow! You clean up real nice, Victoria! I almost feel under-dressed!" Whitney, in contrast to Victoria, is just wearing some casual clothes. She even has some overalls on, looking kinda like a 'farm girl'. She takes Victoria by the hand and walks side by side with her into the National Park. Since they're teleporting to the MooMoo Farm, they can take some time to just enjoy the atmosphere of the park. Once ready, Whitney produces a Premier Ball that holds "Ghira" the Girafarig. It looks like an older Pokemon, so Ghira must be part of Whitney's primary team. Whitney grips Victoria's hand a bit tighter as she places her free hand on Ghira's flank and asks him to teleport them to 'the usual spot' on Route 39. Ghira acknowledges the request, and there is a sudden lurching feeling in Victoria's gut followed by a sensation of floating, then suddenly her feet are on the ground again.

She blushes at the compliment.
"I mean I thought you ought to see the 'real' me now. And as I told me in the mirror, the world can too, as I don't need badass Victoria daily anymore. I'm not just a girl with a Weedle anymore. I'm a girl with an army of strong pokemon AND an awesome Weedle that went toe to toe to your second Miltank!"
Leibling pops up on Victoria's shoulders, clearly happy that her trainer is being herself again and found a lovely lady for herself.
"I would have worn stuff more casual but I don't have any anymore. We may have to incorporate shopping for new clothes into today's date, hehe. I just have a couple of nice easy-breezy dresses just in case. But you look like a cute farm girl, so I don't mind."
She takes Whitney's hand and walks with her, enjoying the moment. Teleporting throws her for a bit of a loop and she needs to take a moment. She shakes her head a moment to clear it out.
"You never see teleport-users do that much long range outside of really heavy psychic users or really strong psychic types. I guess he's part of your 'main' team, right?"

Whitney nods, thanking Ghira as she recalls him. "Yeah, Ghira's been with me ever since I first set foot on the national stage in Unova. It took him a loooong time to build up enough psychic energy to be able to port long distances like that. As a Gym Leader, I can request a League Alakazam if I need one, but as you can probably guess, that's mainly for emergencies, not casual day trips. So, I trained Ghira hard and, with a little help from Will (Elite Four), we were able to get him up to a level where he can teleport me out here and back home again without having to wait more than a few hours for him to recharge." She smiles prettily at Victoria. "By the way, I like the 'real' you too." She winks.
Eventually, you both arrive at the MooMoo Farm, where Layla, the current owner is already out in the field working with the Tauros that they have. She briefly waves at you both before returning to whatever she was doing. Whitney brings you over to introduce the two of you to one another. Layla has that classic 'country girl' accent, with her brown hair tied up in cute pigtails on either side of her head.

"Oh that's cool! I suppose having an 'in' with Will helps, haha!"
As Whitney compliments her 'real' self, she smiles, puts her hands behind her back and turns back and forth, a little bashful.
"...Good."
She follows to the farm, and with two farm girls now, she feels a bit more out of place wardrobe-wise. But as they head over, she waves to Layla.
"Hello! I'm Victoria!"

"Oh yeah! Will is like, super approachable! He's a bit of a weirdo sometimes, but in a good way! The mask he always wears puts people off, but if you actually take time to get to know him, he's a total goofball." She giggles and offers to share a funny story about Will later. "I know you'd think that, as Gym Leaders (or Gym Leader and former Gym Leader), I'd have a better relationship with Sabrina, but ever since Lilith took over as Kanto's Champion, she and Erika have run off together. Like, I knew they were a couple (and they're totally cute together!), but they've gone like.. completely off the grid! Last I heard was that Sabrina had opened some sort of special academy or something for budding Psychics (the human kind), but I honestly have no clue where that even is."
Layla grins at Victoria. "Heya! Nice ta meet ya, Victoria! I'm Layla, like Whitney told ya." She rubs the nearby Tauros' head affectionately and it snorts in contentment. "This here is Stan." The Tauros snorts again. "He's our main breeder, and the leader of the local herd."

Victoria nods in agreement to remember to ask about the funny story.
"Wow, I didn't even know that happened with Sabrina. But I suppose I don't keep up on Kanto stuff. Not since the change, anyway. It's a little intimidating and feels like it might drive someone a little mad to try to get through it."
Somewhere, in an alternate universe, a hybrid girl feels a strange feeling down her spine and doesn't realize why.
Victoria turns to Layla.
"Well it's nice to meet you both. Hi Stan!"
Victoria gives Stan some pets.
"I bet you and Whitney have known each other for a long time, eh?"

Whitney nods in agreement with Victoria's assessment of Kanto's various changes. "Yeah, kinda glad they raised the minimum age for newbie Trainers over there. I don't think a ten year-old could navigate the mess they made of the system over there." Stan accepts pets gladly. For all that Tauros are often intimidating to those who don't work with them frequently, Stan is apparently a sweetheart. At least, when it's not mating season. Then again, Layla would probably not let anyone near him during such a time.
Layla grins. "Heck yeah we have~! Going on...whatsit...ten years now, Whit?"
Whitney nods at this. "Yup!" She chirps.
Layla and Whitney catch up a bit, doing their best to include Victoria in the conversation. Eventually, Layla offers some fresh MooMoo milk to the pair, and a chance to say hello to the local Miltank as well (which she knows is the primary reason Whitney comes by).

"Yeah a ten year old trying combat alongside their pokemon... yeah bad. Quite bad."
She gives Stan many pats as they converse, as she's a bit of a 3rd wheel in this conversation, but tries to join in when she can. But the chance to meet more Miltank she's in!
"Yeah lets go say hi to some Miltank!"

Layla leads the two of you into the barn, where the Miltank who produce the MooMoo Milk hang out. They all moo and generally make noises of greeting when Layla walks in with their food for the day. Victoria notices that each of them appears to be in their own little cubby, with just about all the amenities a farm Pokemon could want. They look really happy.
"Hey girls! Who's hungry~?" Layla teases. The Miltank all make noise again, causing everyone to laugh a little at their excitement. "Alright, here ya go!" She goes around and gives each Miltank their bucket of mixed berries for the day. While they're eating, Layla offers to show Victoria how to milk a Miltank.

She walks in and is impressed by the setup.
”Nice digs for the Miltanks in here!”
She giggles.
”But yeah, totally show me!”

Layla grins and waves Victoria over to show her how it's done...when finished, everyone gets a free bottle of fresh MooMoo Milk!

It was a little weird at first, but once she got into it, it was fun! And she gets a free MooMoo Milk out of it! Sweet!
She gets up and dusts herself off.
"Ok, that was pretty fun!"

Layla and Whitney flash matching grins at Victoria. One would almost think that they're related or something. Maybe if Layla had pink hair...anyway! Most of the easy chores have been done now, so it's time for lunch! Everyone gets cleaned up, and then sits down at a nice little table with some lovely salads. Layla dislikes eating meat, even when it's not made from Pokemon.

Victoria raises an eyebrow at the grins but shrugs. Probably just messing with her. She happily sits down for food, and starts chowing down. She turns to Whitney.
"So you just come back to hang out with Layla and the Miltank, Whitney?"

Whitney nods. "Mhm! Most of my Miltank are from this farm, even! Only Milly wasn't originally from here. Layla gets a few Eggs every breeding season, so she passes the ones she doesn't keep along to me."

She giggles.
"So you have an army of Miltank you've trained? Sounds terrifying!"
She sticks her tongue out at Whitney... but it 'is' a little scary to know that many Miltank are in Whitney's arsenal.

Whitney bursts into a fit of giggles. "Yup~! My very own Miltank army! Poised to take over the region on my command!"

"Well then I'm glad I'll be at your side instead of against you when the takeover happens!"
She laughs again, and continues eating. She lets the two hangout for as long as they please, and if there's nothing else for her attention, happily waits until Whitney is ready to continue (Probably for clothes shopping).

After saying goodbye to Layla and teleporting back to Goldenrod, Whitney takes Victoria on a whirlwind tour of 'cute clothes shopping', followed by dropping the bags off at home and then a nice, sit-down dinner at any kind of place Victoria wants (even that place from yesterday again).

The day is filled with a lot of fun, followed by a night of cuddling (yay!). In the morning, a half awake Vicky stretches and gets out of bed, and because she's not thinking, immediately takes off her night gown and is searching through her pack for her day clothes.
