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?

Before we go, you've gotta answer a question. Both of you.

[He's told them time and time again about Pokémon. About the bonds and love and trust. They've grown up in a household filled with family and Pokémon alike.

But he still needs to hear it in their own words.]

What will your Pokémon be to you?

[Blue didn't have a sense of responsibility, really, so without a second thought she blurts out her answer.]

My teammates! I'm gonna make them strong and they're gonna make me strong, and it'll be fun!

[morelikethedude]

[Barett, though, stays quiet for a little while. It almost looks like he wasn't paying attention, before he eventually speaks up in what is almost a whisper,]

My friends.

[He'd say more, but he's not one for words, really!]

[tsuntrader]

[...Heh.] Good answers.

[And answers that are very like them. He gives them both some reassuring hair ruffles before pulling a Pokéball off of his belt.]

Who wants to go first? [In theory he could probably help out both of them at once, but their personalities are very different and he wants to give them both his full attention, so. One at a time.]

[shhhspoilers]

Me! Me me me! I want to get one first!

[Barett just quietly sits by typhlosion, waiting his turn.]

[tsuntrader]

[It's alright, Barett. He gets a kiss on the forehead and some more hair ruffles before he turns to Blue.]

Alright. C'mon. You can pick whichever one you like.

[shhhspoilers]

I'm gonna find a Murkrow just like yours!

[Blue takes off, running up and peering into the trees. She ignores the Pokémon running through the grass, and stares, trying to find a sleeping murkrow, so she could have a crow just like daddy's Honchkrow.

It takes a good while, as she rejects the handful she does see... until...]

Daddy! Daddy look, I want that one!

[It's pretty easy to see which one she means. It's a scraggly little guy, looking a little thinner and weaker compared to the more camouflaged flock.

After all, prey tends to notice the hot pink.]

[tsuntrader]

[...Excuse me Murkrow why are you-

wh-

...

ok]

[tsuntrader]

[Alright, alright. He offers her the Pokéball he's been holding this entire time- It's Kingdra's ball.

He speaks in a hushed tone.]

You can borrow Kingdra and battle with her. [Aaand he shuffles through his bag until he pulls out a couple of Pokéballs for her! Empty Friend Balls, just for her.]

Once you've weakened it, try throwing a Pokéball at it. Hit its hat, if you can.

Would you like me to show you how to catch a Pokémon, or do you want to try it on your own?

[shhhspoilers]

I can do it! I'm not a little kid!

[She snatches Kingdra's PokéBall and runs over to the tree, letting the seahorse out.

She's got good battling instincts, at least! But she almost lets the murkrow run away before trying to throw a friend ball at it.

She doesn't have great aim, and she growls in frustration.]

Stupid thing, sit still!

[tsuntrader]

[Y-you're four, you still count as a little-

Alright, alright. He watches her battle and takes note of the decisions she makes- man, she really is gonna be a tough trainer when she's older. She's just like her mom.

Well, he won't get anything done like this. What's a Pokémon nearby?...

...Yes. Yes, that'll do. There's a nearby Swablu, and Silver's going to take advantage of it. It won't hurt her ride if he's not directly teaching her, right?]

Alright Weavile, Icy Wind! Restrict its movement! [Take it nice and slow, so she can see what he's doing. The variation Weavile uses this time is ice generated from his claws- he uses it to slash at Swablu's wings and freeze them. ...Gently. They don't want to immediately knock the poor thing out.

Down goes the cloud bird, but it's not out yet. Still, shivers and hesitates to move around.]

[shhhspoilers]

[Blue looks at her dad, blinking in surprise...

...Oh. Oh! She gets it, now!]

Kingdra, use Yawn!

[There we go, now she can toss friend balls at the drowsy bird! And hey, she catches it, after a couple tries. She runs over, grabbing it and running back to Silver.]

Go, dad, go, catch your bird too!

1/2

[tsuntrader]

[Good. She caught on.

Which means it's time to catch his own bird, so he tosses a spare Friend Ball at it (he came loaded with these, okay,) and...

...And he's caught a fluffy bird with his daughter.]

[tsuntrader]

[But it's time to focus on his daughter. She caught her very own first Pokémon.]

You did great, Blue. A lot better than I did when I caught my first Pokémon. [Instead of hair ruffles, he offers her a fist bump. He's really proud of her.]

[shhhspoilers]

Yeah! Yeah, look, it's so pretty!

[She lets Murkrow out! Here, Murkrow, daddy brought Oran berries.]

This one's special! His feathers are as bright as my hair!

[tsuntrader]

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.]

[tsuntrader]

[Barett is right...

...What

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.]

[shhhspoilers]

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

[morelikethedude]

[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.]
