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?

You've got that right.

Weirdos are cooler than normies anyway. [This one goes out to you, Hilda.]

[shhhspoilers]

Yeah!! And they're just mad because they don't have you as a dad like I do.

[tsuntrader]

Exactly.

I bet their parents don't even know about the best cartoons.

[shhhspoilers]

Yeah!! All of the other kids complain about how their parents hate it when Proteam Omega is on.

[tsuntrader]

What kind of parent complains about Proteam Omega? [Proteam Omega is the best ever okay how is anyone even capable of complaining about it-]

[shhhspoilers]

A boring one!

[tsuntrader]

Better to be a weirdo than to be boring.

[shhhspoilers]

Exactly! And me and Pinkie are gonna beat all of the Gym Leaders and the Elite Four before any of my dumb classmates!

[morelikethedude]

[And now the other one's home! He looks sluggish, but pleased.]

Hi, dad.

[tsuntrader]

[Nod. He doubts that any of her classmates will even get that far, but he keeps that to himself.

Which is just as well, because Barett is home. He's... Still hugging Blue, so he'll hold an arm out for Barett.]

Hey. Welcome home.

[morelikethedude]

[Barett moseys on over for a hug!]

She said she wants to be a trainer already.

[tsuntrader]

[Group hug!]

We already had this conversation. I'm training both of you until you're ten.

[morelikethedude]

I don't want to train...

[tsuntrader]

Want to? No. Have to? Need to? Yes.

[morelikethedude]

I can't tell my Pokémon what to do or how to be...

[tsuntrader]

You can, and one day you might have to. What would you do if something happened to you and I wasn't there? Or Blue? Or both of us? You and Vulpix need to be ready for that.

[morelikethedude]

I don't wanna be up and violent, though...

[tsuntrader]

But you need to know how to be.

Besides, there's more to battling than just being violent.

[morelikethedude]

Why do I get to decide whether my Pokémon are going to fight? That's not fair, you know? Maybe they don't want to.

[tsuntrader]

And Blue wants to go on her journey already. She would go today, if she could, but I won't let her because that's not safe.

I'm making her stay and train with me, and just the same, I'm making you train with me, so you can take care of yourself and stay safe.

[morelikethedude]

...I'm just a wimp, though... I'm not any good.

[tsuntrader]

Says who?

[morelikethedude]

I can't even run very far, I'm not going to be any good at training...

[tsuntrader]

Really? I don't think so.

I think just like Pokémon, people their own weaknesses and strengths. I think that you're really strong, even if you don't believe it.

And I think you're being hard on yourself without even giving yourself a chance.

[morelikethedude]

I'm gonna fail, just like I did before. It'll be too hard, and it'll hurt to do, and it'll be pointless.
