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?

TOLD YOU SO, TOLD YOU IT WAS DANGEROUS (dad end)

[tsuntrader]

[A day in Undella Town! That's their course of action. There's nothing quite like just enjoying a summer day in nice good weather. They'll hit up the bay in a while, but for now, they can enjoy a stroll in town.

Of course, "a stroll in town" really just means "a harsh trial against dad's wallet" in beach resort town, but surely that boogie board doesn't look too nice, right? Or that shirt or snow globe or cap or-]

[shhhspoilers]

Ooh, daddy, look at this swimsuit, isn't it cute?

[NO TWO-PIECES YOUNG LADY, NOT ANY THAT TINY]

[morelikethedude]

[Meanwhile Barett is starting at his reflection, enamored now that he's wearing a toy crown modeled off of what was retrieved from some underwater ruins...]

[tsuntrader]

[You mean the one that he and Hilda found and sold for enough money to be set for life?

I mean--]

Kinda, but it clashes with your hair. [And is. Tiny. So tiny.] Try to stick to one pieces, alright? [You are nine years old. You aren't running around in a bikini.]

[morelikethedude]

[She huffs a little and goes back to looking around, and Barett comes up to his dad with the most enamored look in his eyes...]

This crown looks so cool. I look like a king or something...

[tsuntrader]

It looks pretty cool, even if it's-

[Not. As cool as the real thing. Uh. Not that he would know that or anything.]

So if you're a king, what do you rule?

[morelikethedude]

I can't rule anyone, man... you just gotta let people be the way they be. That's what The Dude says.

[tsuntrader]

[...]

Barett, king of a little too much time with The Dude. [It's an accurate mouthful, okay]

[morelikethedude]

I like The Dude, he tells me how to see things in a really big way...

[tsuntrader]

That comes with the territory of being a god. [He's had experience with this kind of thing before--!]

[morelikethedude]

Yeah... he's really warm and loving...

[tsuntrader]

[...Well Moro was warm and loving to her pups, right?...]

As long as he's teaching you the right things. [...Which he probably is, because. God.]

[morelikethedude]

Yeah. He says... be loving, be kind, and be chill...

[tsuntrader]

Maybe that's what you can be. The King of Chill.

[morelikethedude]

Sounds cold.

[But he laughs.]

[tsuntrader]

The King of Calm. [They can do this! They can have this conversation!]

[morelikethedude]

Heh. I like that.

Can I have it?

[tsuntrader]

[He nods and pulls the crown off of Barett's head- for now, anyway.]

Go find your sister while I pay for it, alright?

[morelikethedude]

[Okay! Off the kids go.










But they don't come back...]

[tsuntrader]

[The crown has been bought! And Silver waits for his kids to come back.

...And he waits some more.

And then he goes looking for them, not too concerned, but he... Doesn't find them...?

Guys, this isn't funny-]

[morelikethedude]

[Nope, gone... no trace of them anywhere. No footprints sprinting off into the sand, no scuffmarks on the floor, nothing...]

[tsuntrader]

[...This is where he starts to get worried. He asks a few people if they've seen his two kids, but he gets nothing. Nothing at all.

Then panic sets in. He lets out Honchkrow and flies up, hoping to spot them from a higher view. Where--?]

[morelikethedude]

[He'll spot a stranger in an alleyway, on a phone. And... hey, is that your phone ringing?]

[tsuntrader]

[A call from his Pokégear, from a number he doesn't recognize. Okay, sure. It's something to keep him from panicking while looking for his kids, right?

He picks up.]

What is it?

[morelikethedude]

Neither of your kids has a peanut allergy, right?

[It seems to be the person in the alley! They are staring straight up at you, Silver.]

You and I need to arrange a meeting.
