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?

Something special... but let them pick. We'll get one for them. My mom made me wait, but you grew up with your weavile. I want them to have something like that.

[tsuntrader]

I do too, but...

I didn't pick Weavile. I think I was two when I got him. Maybe younger.

Is that too early? [...] I think most of my friends got their first Pokémon when they were five, and they'd have the chance to pick then. [Is that better? Help him out here.]

[50shadesofprotag]

[Yaaaaawn!]

Yeah... that sounds right! If they make a move to pick a Pokémon before then, then let them have it, if the chemistry's right.

[tsuntrader]

[...]

...I want the house to be filled with a handful of loving and nurturing Pokémon all the time. Pokémon that they can grow up with, even if they're not theirs. Pokémon that can go with them if they want to explore nearby or go for a walk or into Nacrene for something.

Maybe a Wigglytuff. It could help Sing them to sleep, too. And a Sunflora or Bellossom.

[He's finished massaging her back, so he moves to put a hand on her stomach. They'll... They'll have the childhood he never had. The one he wanted. He wants to make sure of that.

But he wants Hilda to have what she wants, too. They're just as much her kids as they are his.]

[She smiles, putting her hands on top of his. There's a lot of squirming around in there! It's even pretty visible, though Hilda's ignoring the weirdness of it mostly.]

We have our Pokémon. That's a ton of Pokémon... and they're all really great. Especially Bacon. And Coldcut. And your Pokémon!

I want them to play outside with Pokémon, without worrying if they're going to get in trouble or something. That'll be our job, keeping them safe.

[tsuntrader]

[Oh man. I know you're excited to get out baby, but just hang in there a little longer, alright?]

...Yeah. You're right. [He trusts his Pokémon to be as gentle with their kid as they are with his little sister.] And keeping them safe is a given.

[50shadesofprotag]

As long as my kids don't die, I consider myself the best mom I could ever be. If they live to a good, long, happy life, then I've succeeded.

[Because loving them was a given, fighting for them was a given, protecting them was a given... keeping them safe was the one thing she felt she really had to focus on.]

[tsuntrader]

If anyone can keep them safe, it's us.

[Safe, comfortable, able to be whoever they want to be, able to pursue their dreams...

He wants them to be as happy as he is right now.

Maybe that's a high bar to set. He's not sure how much happier he could be... but that's the point.]
