On reserve to wishingscales

[dawnofthefuture]

So you desire to play me again, after all these times.

[/sighs.]

Very well, I have no qualms with it as long as I get to see them again.

[Have a Seviper wearing a cape. He bows down to the Grovyle. He speaks in standard Pokespeak.]

I greet you. May I ask who you're talking about?

[dawnofthefuture]

My dearest friend and their partner.

[Well, at least this one's not trying to damage him or something like that.]

[flametailed]

[Hey, you. Yeah, you, with the leaves on your arms. You're getting a hug from behind right about now. No warning. Just...hugged. You probably don't know this one, but she's missed you something awful. Please don't throw her off.]

[dawnofthefuture]

...?

[...Oh, this Charmander felt familiar to him. Familiar enough that he's going to just chuckle.]

You are alright, then.

[flametailed]

[Oh, how she's missed that chuckle. Hence why she's not letting go. Nope. Not at all.]

Guess so. I finally remembered what happened when we got separated.

[And she's kicking herself over it a bit. Not that there's much she could have done at the time, but still.]

[dawnofthefuture]

[...Man, that memory still stung him, but at least everything ended on a happy note right?]

...Ah, you did?

[flametailed]

[Right! ...Well. Mostly happy. She'd change a few things if she could.]

Uh-huh. Darkrai tried to trick me, but I remembered what really happened and we beat him. He's not going to hurt anybody else now.

[And, considering what he tried to trick her with...well. It shouldn't be that much of a surprise that she's not all that shook up about what happened to that lump of smoke.]

[dawnofthefuture]

...That's good.

[...Ah, all's well that ends well!]

So, what're you going to do next, partner?

[Wow it's been so long since he called her that.]

[flametailed]

[All's well that ends well and---oh. There's that word again. That word that always made her smile and now makes her long for the old days. Her new friends are wonderful and she'd never want them to leave, but him...she misses him something harsh. At least they have a little while in this place, though. She'll cherish this.]

Dunno. Been figuring that out as I go. [sheepish laugh, and she finally pulls away to give him some space again.] I...might have started a forest fire by accident doing it like that, though.

[dawnofthefuture]

...

You did?

[...and then he remembered how spaced out she can be when thinking about something.]

[flametailed]

[Nod nod. Spaced out is...one way to put it.]

Uh-huh. I wasn't expecting the Bulbasaur to move so fast, so I kinda missed hitting it and hit the tree instead. Things just got out of control after that.

[And since it was just her and her Electric-type partner? Well. They kind of had a very close call that day.]

[pokemonsenseistingling]

[ ... She missed you, Grovyle.

You get one hug. One very BIG hug. ]

[dawnofthefuture]

[...All these hugs are totally fine with him since boy he's glad to see that his partner's alright after all.]

We're fine, so don't worry, alright?

[pokemonsenseistingling]

[ She's so worried, it's not alright!! ]

I... I'm glad, I just--

[ SHE WAS WORRIED you're stupid this is stupid why'd you do thaaaat!! ]

[dawnofthefuture]

[Because he's totally the "hero destined to die" or something like that.]

You did it, everyone lived to see the new future both of you created.
