[...Yeah, it would be, wouldn't it?...

...He shuffles through his pockets for his Pokédex. Gold can take that too-]

[a wild pokemon professor appeared!

seriously prof oak just came through the door to relax and there's a pokedex and that's gold so... that one must be the silver elm told him about

"Are you here to return that to me, young man?" mmhmm direct and to the point]

[...

oh

...oh

...okay nevermind Gold he's offering it to the professor instead-]

[thank you he'll take it

and study it--]

Oh, oh! That's right! Professor, can you look at mine too? It, uh, it's kinda... I mean, some things happened...

[son what the hell is wrong with this dex

silver's is at least outdated but yours

yours gold

what the hell

"What did you do to it?!" honestly madder at gold than silver]

Team Rocket. [That's what happened to it.

does

does this mean he's in the clear-]

[he's just

sigh

team rocket... the team that stole all but one of his original pokedexes...

"You're in it too, are you not? Why are you returning this to me?" though he's got a feeling on the answer, considering gold's involved and he is returning it

...

though he has to admit, pink hair would be for a weird disguise and gold's purple hair sticks out like a sore thumb

but it's not his business the pokedex is]

That's the second thing! Listen Professor, Silver's on our side now. Hung up his cape. That's why.

["Is this true, young man?"]

[How did you know that he...]

Yes, sir. [And he looks appropriately upset and nervous, no matter how much he tries to hide it or push it away.]

["... I'd like to believe you, but I've had many things taken from me because of Team Rocket." despite gold's angry look, oak is not budging on this. he is gonna hold up his hand to stop him from saying anything though. "Tell me. Why would you leave something that's become so expansive and invasive, threatening to pervade everyday life even here in Johto?"

just because it was stopped once doesn't mean it could be done again, even with the growth that crystal and gold have shown through their years]

That's the exact reason why. It's... It's so much nicer here. People don't keep their heads ducked down and their Pokéballs hidden. I spent all my time in an office and didn't even notice the difference until Gold yanked me out and showed me.

[...] I wish Kanto could be like this. Maybe one day...

[oak would like it to be like this as well, someday

"And what are you going to do from now on? Are you going to run from them, now that you've escaped? Or are you going to fight for that future?"]

...Running would be just as bad as staying. I have to fight. [But when the time comes to fight, will he be ready for it?...]

["Then you're going to need better technology." tsk tsk though gold seriously. "And I'm going to have to get Gold a new one altogether, I'm afraid. That's going to take some time. May I trust you to keep an eye on him until then?"]

Hey! [... though silver did you hear that you need better technology do you know what that means]

...Huh?

[Better what

he'll nod though yes he can keep an eye on Gold but

is he going to...?]

["Good. Even though he's someone I trust, I'm sure you know first hand how Gold is." chuckle

... it is kind of a sad chuckle just kind of because he can think of another boy who was much the same way at first

"I'm very happy you'll be joining us, Silver. I'll give Professor Elm a call when I'm done updating your Pokedex and fixing Gold's-- Are you staying with Gold? Or is that too close to Kanto for your comfort?"]

[He's happy to have him. Gold was right...]

I'm staying with Gold.

[It feels so weird to say it, but... It's nice.]

It's a good strategic position to stay in anyway. If any members of Team Rocket try to come in and stir something up, we'll be able to take care of them immediately. I remember most of their faces, so I'll be able to recognize them if they try to sneak into Johto without their uniforms.

[oak nods, then checks his watch

so much for a break

ah well, it was regardless

"Then you two better prepare yourselves, should anything happen. Even the slightest error in judgement could cost us something precious." like a life.]

Don't worry, Professor, I'm not gonna let anyone mess with my home. We'll be ready for anythin'. Right Silver?

You better believe it.

[Hahaha a life

you mean his

he's kind of already prepared for that Professor]

[he thought silver might be. you don't leave team rocket without some acceptance about the possibility and inevitably regarding it--]

Oh. Professor Elm wanted us to give you a letter too. [oak nods, yes yes he remembers that from the email

"It's a number of haikus I asked him to write. I originally wanted him to be a guest on my radioshow, but plans fell through... I'm going to have to read them myself."

gold looks ready to volunteer himself

are you really so desperate, gold, really

...

... yeah he is but he's gotta stick with silver hurgh um glance glance]

That's... too bad. Wish he could've come. [he is trying his hardest okay]

[...] Could Gold do it instead?

[He sounds awful and really just wants to rest but he won't let that stop Gold from getting his moment on the radio, okay

Even though his feverish daze he can still notice this]

["I don't see why not - as long as he promises not to bother Mary until after the broadcast is over."

gold looks just so happy yooou are the best boyfriend ever silver he could just

he can't kiss silver oh my god um um um he'll hug him instead yes]

Take a break, buddy! There's a flower shop over that way [point also here you can take exbro for warmth] that you can go to and hang out in. You should listen in, too, I'm sure they've got a radio in there. For as long as you can. I'll come pick you up and we'll go home after that.

[he's not gonna propose to him on air or anything like that because that'd be stupid ten ways to sunday but!! he wants silver to listen in so he'll hear dj mary ahhhh]

[H...ug?

-Oh. Oh. Okay. ...If you're giving him Exbro, he's tossing Feraligatr's ball at you.

C'mon, Exbro. Let's go. He bows his head down- thanks Professor- before making his leave.]

[aw yeah he gets to meet dj mary and get an autograph and do some dumb haikus and then he'll do something embarrassing at the end aw yeah

but for now exbro is quite happy letting silver ride him let's hang out with some flowers they smell pretty don't they]

[Wheee

thanks for letting him ride on you a lot, buddy

...Maybe he should be totally cheesy and get some flowers for Gold seriously these smell so good

what do you think, Exbro]

[it's no problem he doesn't mind giving rides at all!!

and yes

his trainer is so cheesy gold would probably like that a lot

they can be like a 'congratulations on being on the radio' or something gift]

[Something like that

or "thanks for letting me stay with you" or something he owes him a lot lately

here, you should pick one too]
