It was bright and sunny day in La Ruche. Despite being surrounded by mountains, La Ruche was relatively warm year around. Everything anyone could ever want could be found here. The area was heavily forested and filled with various fruit bearing plants. Plenty of cool clean streams to drink from. To anyone who didn't know the history of La Ruche they would consider it paradise. But as with any "paradise" made by mortals, its history was dark.
But that didn't matter to one young lad. You see, today was a special day for Larry, today was his birthday, the day he turns six and he couldn't be more excited. Why do you ask? Well when young boys turn six years old in La Ruche they get to start school. In the modern world a young boy wouldn't be excited for school, but here in La Ruche schooling was very important, and very different.
"Watch where you're going, Larry!" Old man Faux shouted at Larry as he ran past his logging site, a giant branch almost falling on him as he raced on by. "Pardon!" Larry shouted with a giggle as he jumped over a big tree on the ground, he didn't have time to slow down, he was on his way home to see what he got for his birthday. Young Larry had spent the last two nights with his uncle deep in the forest, foraging. He didn't mind helping out, but as soon as he woke up this morning he made off for home.
It was a good ways to his house however, but anyone who knew Larry knew good and well that the boy had plenty of energy to run for miles.

Somewhere along the way, Larry would discover that his quickest path back to his house would send him crashing into an unknown person, or at least relatively unknown to him. But to explain why this person had found themselves there would require some rewinding to when Larry was debating his own fate.
Beauregard Orson Deforest would once again find himself staring at the garden that sat perfectly in front of his family's house, attempting to figure how exactly this was his destined job within the colony. If they were his destiny, then they must have some hidden secret that would make them much more interesting for him to assume and go with.
His birthday had been months ago, making him about six and a half years old, a real adult if he had any say in it. And so far, school had told him that he would be a gardener as per his species specialization. And given his current knowledge and experimentation as a Scatterbug hybrid, he could only conclude that these supposed 'flowers' must be some sort of disguised explosive. Otherwise, why would he be the one destined for it when his great talent was explosive power. Making people mad with powder counted as explosions, right?
Finished with his usual hour long debate over whether or not he should test a flower and see if his own hypothesis was correct, Beauregard began to lazily fly, more of a hover really, above the ground towards where he hoped to find some other people to play with. Well, what he dreamed was a hover, all he had at the moment was legs to run but a kid could dream for his future. What he didn't expect was a brown-and-silver moving object to slam into him like a freight train. Expelling a massive puff of his explosive powder upon impact, the Vivillon hybrid could attempt to figure the number on the hybrid who had run into him. "You. With the horns and the face. Why did you run me over?"

Why did you run me over?" "Oof!" Larry would grunt as he slammed into the butterfly boy, trip over him, and fall face first into the ground. The young Pinsir hybrid would promptly pick himself off of the ground and his immediate reaction was to continue his mad dash home, that was until he heard the object he ran into speak.
"Huh? Oh, sorry. I'm in a hurry to get home. Today is my birthday!" He said with an extremely toothy grin, little did he know that one day that people outside of La Ruche would think that smile was evil, demonic even. "...what's all this stuff?" He asked the boy before him as he brushed at his homemade shirt.

He asked the boy before him as he brushed at his homemade shirt.
Slowly getting off the ground as he checked himself for any possible injuries, the only wound eh could find was a small tear through his t shirt where the littler kid's horn had torn through the flimsy material. "Wow. glad I wasn't flying any higher or I mighta been a kabob." Beau quietly told himself, continuing to eye the tear before noticing the toothy grin. Well, this kid seemed almost to be right up his alley for personality.
Hearing the question, Beau would look around before realizing the kid was gesturing to the powder in the air. "Oh, right. That, my friend, is my super special boom-boom powder. Don't get too much of it on you or you'll get to see why exactly it is called the super special boom-boom powder. Oh right, what's your name? Almost for got that part." Beauregard blurted out, his brain mildly scrambled from the tackle he had just endured. This might be the beginning of a beautiful friendship.

"My name is Larry, or rather it's Larrimore but I hate that name. Larry sounds better, don't you think...what's your name again?" He asked his fellow buggy boy.

Tesei Utakata "Can I come to the party!? I wanna have a party. With streamers, and balloons, and maybe some of dad's special sticks. Oooh, wait! Lemme get some of them." Charging back into his house before emerging with a handful of sticks that had strangely large points on the end and little wicks, a look of glee in his face as he stared at the devices. "Okay, let's go to the party since I gots your present now Larry!" "Whoa, cool! Thanks, Beau!" Larry said with a boyish giggle. After several seconds of looking around the boy was able to regain his bearings and began to run off again, waving at Beau behind him. "Come on!" He shouted.
The rest of the run home wasn't that bad, about ten minutes from their fabled crash site. Larry's home was (in La Ruche) considered to be a 'wealthy' family's home. The site of the home was a very large tree, in fact it was a Golden Tree, a species of tree that is normally only found in Sinnoh but very rarely is seen in Kalos. Beneath the tree, underground, was the actual home with a wooden door at the tree's base with steps that led down. On the outside one could see various ladders and pulleys on the tree branches, as well as Pinsir hybrids (much older than Larry) harvesting the tree's sap and young leaves as swarms of Combee fly back and forth. The tree was the source of Larry's wealth you see, as it was the only source of Royal Sap in La Ruche. The leaves were also sold due to their sweet taste.
"In here, Beau." Larry said as he opened the door and ran down the Luminous Moss lit staircase. "I'm home!" The young hybrid shouted as he entered the living room, which was furnished with handcrafted wooden furniture and lit with more globs of moss.
