Da Future

[50shadesofprotag]

Soooo in the future! Hilda managed to woo Silver and keep him for more than a week.

When Hilda's about 26 and Silver's 24, she's finally got him doing more "couple"-like things with her.




It's a good thing they're a somewhat decent age to be parents?

Yeah, you're right. I've never seen a pink Murkrow before.

It fits, of course. He's very special Murkrow caught by a very special girl.

[shhhspoilers]

I should nickname him! I should call you... you...

[She picks up Murkrow, who squirms a little to get comfortable but otherwise stares at its new trainer calmly, before Blue beams.]

Pinky! I wanna call him Pinky!

[tsuntrader]

[Pinky...

...Well, it does go well with his color.]

Just be gentle with Pinky. You two may have a bond now, but he still has to get used to you.

[shhhspoilers]

Okay! --Hey, where's Barett?

[Well, he's not next to typhlosion, that's for certain.]

[Barett is right...

...What

where did he

NOPE DROP EVERYTHING WE'RE LOOKING FOR HIM WEAVILE LET'S GO--]

[tsuntrader]

[No. No. Calm down. The only other people here are some other kids and Typhlosion doesn't seem alarmed, so he must have wandered off.

Chill.]

Let's go look for him.

[Preferably before he flips his shit. S-stay near him, Blue.]

[Blue will recall Pinky and hold onto daddy's hand! She seems completely calm, not at all worried about where her brother is.]

[After a while, Silver might find a hidden grotto! It's been disturbed, and there's little shoe prints, so all signs point to Barett being in there.

And he is! He's quietly sitting down, cuddling with a vulpix. There's a warm ray of sunlight peering through the foliage, and it's pleasant and calm and quiet.]

Hi, dad.




...I made my first friend.

[tsuntrader]

[Oh- oh those are his little shoe prints, oh god he's in this hidden grotto is he--

...

...

...]

[tsuntrader]

[You.

You know what.



Just take this Pokéball.]

[morelikethedude]

[Okay. Barett takes it, and holds it up for Vulpix to see. The fox sniffs at it, hesitant at first... but Barett recognizes when the Pokémon is okay with being caught and taps the ball gently against its forehead.

Vulpix was caught!]

[tsuntrader]

[That's... not really what he had in mind, but...]

Looks like you caught her your own way.

[morelikethedude]

Yeah. I don't like fighting.

[He'll let his Vulpix out so he can cuddle with her again!]

[tsuntrader]

[...He really doesn't. It... It reminds him of Yellow.

He should say more, but Barret is still young and doesn't need to worry about anything right now. Besides, with the way he got along with his Vulpix right away...]

[tsuntrader]

[He nods and puts a hand on Barett's head. Headpat.]

A lot of people fight and battle, but that's not all that Pokémon are about. You did really well to make a friend like this all on your own, and you can still grow and learn from each other together.

[morelikethedude]

[Blue puffs her cheeks out, jealous that Barett is getting praise and attention instead of her. Barett just smiles, getting up and shyly hugging his father.]

[tsuntrader]

[Yeah, come here. You get hugs on your own for a second.

But not for long, because he invites Blue over with an open arm. Group hug, guys.]

I'm proud of both of you. You did really well while still being yourselves.

[shhhspoilers]

[Blue hugs, for a bit, before hopping up and down excitedly.]

Oh, oh! Daddy, do we get to battle with you, now? Can you show us how to train? Pretty pretty please?

[tsuntrader]

[Wh

but you're only...]

[tsuntrader]

[Well. Well he did give them their first Pokémon, and...]

...Let me think about it, okay? I'll give you an answer before you go to bed.

[shhhspoilers]

Aaaww. I want to start battling nooow!

[Whiiine.]

I wanna be big and tough like you!

1/2

[tsuntrader]

Hey.

[Hey. Hey. Headpat.]

You can't aim to be big and tough like me, you know. You've gotta aim to be bigger and tougher.

[tsuntrader]

And you'll never get bigger and tougher if you don't eat. Let's all grab some lunch and a treat. Then we'll see.

[morelikethedude]

[Blue starts protesting, about how NO DADDY IS PERFECT AND COOL, but a rare spark of excitement ignites in Barett.]

Grilled cheese. I want grilled cheese! With pickles.

[tsuntrader]

Grilled cheese it is. [Nice save there Barett, good going.] What about you, Blue?
