[you'll get your time to shine, trust me, okay?

but okay she will rest thank you um... some of her bandages need to be replaced but it isn't anything big

thank you big bro sneasel]

[illegalmarriage]

[That's definitely a shining moment, pat pat

I'm sure the Pokémon center will get all three of you all fixed up]

[illegalteendad]

[did you know that when a parade of pokemon comes into a center it causes a good deal of attention to them

don't worry the nurses and chansey and blissey will get all three of them in stable conditions pap pap silver's pokemon shoosh shoosh gold it will be okay

please have food and take a break they are in good hands

gold will be worriedly switching between keeping an eye on boobro and dusty and sitting with silver]

[illegalmarriage]

[Silver's Pokémon are just as torn as Gold; Sneasel and Rhydon stick to Silver, Kingdra stays to watch Boobro and Dusty, and Murkrow and Feraligatr go back and forth.

You're gonna be here for a while, Gold.]

[illegalteendad]

[long enough to fall asleep on exbro

aibro's got himself a little nurse hat as he helps tend to boobro and dusty, the rest of the ghost stick them them too; pretty much all of gold's pokemon are gonna be with him until the monkey shoos them out because it's getting crowded and they can wait in the lobby

... poor steelbro's outside making sure no one unsavory comes into the center

makes for a real conversation starter in olivine]

[illegalmarriage]

[Basically

Sneasel's the first to perk up when Silver finally starts stirring; he wastes no time in shaking Gold awake when he does.]

[illegalteendad]

[huh wha he's awake

SILVER'S AWAKE TOO oh good good]

Silver! Hey, Silver, you feelin' okay? What happened?

[illegalmarriage]

Morning.

[He's feeling...

what... happened?]

Oh, oh, it was just Team Rocket. [Handwave haaawow that still hurts nevermind] They took big bro. He made a bunch of Yamask.

It's okay. I gotta plan, Gold...

[illegalteendad]

[... you are so doped up on pain medication

it's kind of cute]

Plan?

[illegalmarriage]

We'll just destroy em all. That's it. No more Team Rocket...

[Then everything will be okay. Yeah...]

[illegalteendad]

[okay not so cute]

Silver, we ain't gonna destroy an entire organization just like that. They've got pretty much total control over Kanto. And what about your family?

[illegalmarriage]

...When they're gone, my family will love me again. [Isn't it obvious?]

1/3

[illegalteendad]

[no, it's not] So you're gonna take down an empire and expect your family - dad and all - are just gonna roll over and love you?

[illegalteendad]

[...

IT SOUNDS LIKE A GOOD IDEA

BUT HE CAN'T TELL SILVER THAT]

[illegalteendad]

You're thinkin' too simple. I hate to dash your hopes, but you're just talkin' pain medication.

[illegalmarriage]

[...He shakes his head.] It's okay if they don't love me. They just won't be bad guys anymore.

And... And I got you. And Crys. And mom, and the Pokémon, and... everyone in Johto's real nice...

[illegalteendad]

[...]

You remember what happened with Team Rocket? You got burned. Seriously bad ones too. [he'll very gently take silver's hand and rub it] Team Rocket isn't just gonna let you do that, you know? And even if you do, it's not gonna be able to replace Blue or... or Yellow even, I guess. Your dad too. The last two are still gonna be bad guys even if you take the Rocket uniform off 'cause they willingly did the shit they did. Blue too, but I figure that if she's still in it's to keep them off your trail for longer. Your big sis, while mean, is pretty cool.

[illegalmarriage]

I gotta do something, Gold. I was the heir. You know, great things and stuff. It's my... [The word he is looking for starts with an r

he can't recall it but whatever]

...What good am I if I can't do anything? I couldn't help my Pokémon. I just got burned. Maybe it'd be better if they just killed me, 'cause then I could be a ghost and help you and stuff. It's gonna happen anyway...

[illegalteendad]

[fuck no]

Alright, so lemme ask you this. Who took out like a gazillion bucks from the Rocket fund? Who messed with all their info before they got up and left? Who traveled the long way to Johto just so he'd have a chance a livin' instead of dyin' like it's eventually gonna happen anyway?

[illegalmarriage]

[Oh

oh he did that stuff, didn't he...

...]

I miss big sis. And Yellow. And dad. And my chair and grunts.

You... You still wanna see my face again, right? That's why you're here. But you won't wanna see me when I mess up.

[illegalteendad]

[he wishes he could hug him but that'd probably hurt

so instead he'll squeeze his hand]

Didn't I tell you once that you ain't gettin' rid of me? If I didn't, I'm tellin' you now. Even if you went back to Team Rocket - which you'd never do - I'd still wanna see you. If just to bring you back where you belong.

[with mom, with the pokemon, with crys, with johto, with him...]

[illegalmarriage]

I'm never going back. I'm never hurting Pokémon like that. Never. Never ever. Nuh-uh.

[Yes the hand squeezing is nice

he'd like a hug anyway but he didn't even consider it

oh oh oh and here it comes, that redness in his face, that squinting of his eyes-]

[illegalteendad]

[ah no he's gonna cry

tissues at the ready thanks exbro he'll stroke silver's hair too]

We're not gonna let Team Rocket stomp around Johto actin' like they own the place. You can bet on that. And you saved big bro, you know? If you hadn't then we probably wouldn't have ever seen him again. You're Dusty's hero.

[illegalmarriage]

[yep he's crying, just a little

he's not paying it much mind]

I didn't save him. Dusty did. I just got everyone hurt.

[illegalteendad]

I seriously doubt that's all that happened. She told me you jumped onto a ship that was sailin' away because you saw our big bro on it, trusted her to handle a Houndoom alone, and got them both outta there without further harm. That ain't nothin', Silv, trust me on that.

["told" is kind of a loose word but you know]
