"So, how's things been with the apparently-talkative Shade?" Robin asked, while also holding two bagels -just in case Shade was in the mood for 'bagel time'-. ~wayfaringtrainers

“Well...I’m more used to it, I guess. He’s gotten a little less chaotic, so at least there’s that.”

“ɪ ᴍᴇᴀɴ, ʏᴏᴜ'ʀᴇ ɴᴏᴛ ᴜᴘsᴇᴛ ʙʏ ɪᴛ. sᴏ ɪ ᴛᴇᴄʜɴɪᴄᴀʟʟʏ ᴅɪᴅɴ'ᴛ ʙʀᴇᴀᴋ ᴍʏ ᴘʀᴏᴍɪsᴇ.“ Shade eyes the bagels in Robin’s hand. 

“Though I still sometimes have no idea what he’s talking about.” she glances at the Cofagrigus before sighing. “Sorry I haven’t been around. Had a bunch of things I had to take care of back home...again. Ugh...plane tickets aren’t getting any cheaper. I meant to tell you but...” she laughed nervously. “It’s not like we really have a means of communicating other than in person, huh?”

[wayfaringtrainers]

“Yeah, Plane tickets are so expensive and such a hassle, it’s why I try to stick to pokemon travel where I can, or ferries if I have no option.”

Seeing the shiny ghost boy staring at the bagels, Robin decided to sacrifice one such bread product to the ghost type as tribute.

“ᴀʜʜʜʜʜ ᴛʜᴀɴᴋ ʏᴏᴜ!!” He actually...puts the bagel in his mouth this time. So what was the deal last time?

“Yeah, I could try one of those options, I suppose. Never really thought of it. Mom runs a shop in Driftveil City, over in Unova. She, ah...isn’t doing so well.” She sighs. It was tough to talk about. “As her daughter, I...gotta be there sometimes. So I visit pretty often. As often as I can, anyways.”

[pkmnphotographer]

Have you ever posed for nude pictures before?

“What kind of question is this? I’m a photographer, not a model, so no, I have not.”

“That’s not to say I haven’t taken any, though. But those are only available to the eyes of the clients themselves.” She snickered. “Before you ask, yes, I mainly photograph Pokemon. But that’s not to say I won’t take pictures of people as well.”

“Eh, could be worse.” Robin shrugged while Zoe’s nerves were filed down. “I mean, it’s not like you’ve just discovered Shade’s really the spawn of Giratina or is secretly married to your arch-nemesis.”

[pkmnphotographer]

"Sᴛʀᴀɴɢᴇʟʏ sᴘᴇᴄɪꜰɪᴄ ᴇxᴀᴍᴘʟᴇs, ᴛʜᴇʀᴇ, Rᴏʙɪɴ."

Zoe sighs. “I...I can’t even look at him. See, I’m even turning away not looking at him.”

[wayfaringtrainers]

"Robin! ROBIN! Shade can TALK. I swear, I'm not crazy, he actually TALKED. ENGLISH. He spoke ENGLISH." Yes, Zoe is freaking out. Yes, Shade is behind her, acting oblivious to all of this.

“Nnnnnnnneat.” Robin replied, nowhere near as surprised or alarmed.

“Wanna bagel, Shade?”

[pkmnphotographer]

“Yᴇs.”

“…” Zoe is speechless. “I…h-he…WHEN?!”

[wayfaringtrainers]

Robin just grinned and shuffled a bagel on a plate towards Shade, completely flippant about talking Pokemon.

[pkmnphotographer]

The bagel is not consumed. Shade just shoves it into his sarcophagus body.

"BAGEL TIME. Tʜᴀɴᴋ ʏᴏᴜ."

“Shade...I trusted you...”

She’s done. 

"I ᴅɪᴅɴ'ᴛ ᴛʜɪɴᴋ ɪᴛ ᴡᴀs THAT ɪᴍᴘᴏʀᴛᴀɴᴛ." Shade responds.

((If you’re not naming your shiny Snom “Snomageddon” then what ARE you naming it))

Shade stopped his cleaning and made prolonged eye contact with the person that just walked into the shop.

“Miss Zoe had to uh...handle something. So she’s not in right now. Which means...no photos at the moment! Sorry. Until she gets back from the Pokemon Center, all I can do for you is schedule you for a shoot within the coming week, or you can look through some prints if you like.”

Zoe glances to Shade, who was chuckling and giving a thumbs up right back to Robin. She sighed.

“Yeah…you’re right, there. I suppose I just…gotta look at it with a different light.”

“But enough about me. What about you? Do you have any plans for Valentine’s Day?”

Yeah, probably best to change the discussion before the two start wallowing in self pity and bad times. Robin returned to a smile on his lips.

“Me and the not-yet-but-basically-wife are spending the entire day in Lumiose city. We’ll have no plans, no reservations, no goals. Just a generous amount of money and one foot in front of the other.

How ‘bout you though? Any friends or family you got the day to spend with?”

[pkmnphotographer]

“Ooh, nice! Lumiose City is big. Don’t get lost, haha!”

“As for me...I was thinking about visiting my mom. Maybe not exactly on Valentine’s, since she’s all the way in Unova, but...I haven’t seen her in a few months. Might fly over there and suprise her. She’s...kinda like me, really only has her Pokemon to spend time with. I try to visit when I can, so I can change that.”

[wayfaringtrainers]

She nods, staring at her cup. 

“It was nice having my Pokemon there for me…once my ex dropped the whole “I was dating you for a bet” bit and left me in tears, Shade actually went out and tried to mummify him. An odd way of support, but the guy and his friends avoided me after that. And no, I don’t ever condone what that Pokemon does.”

“Strange how Pokemon can be nicer than most people…though you’re pretty nice, Robin, so I suppose you’re an exception.”

“Not to sound horrible, but I 100% condone Shade’s actions.” The trainer proceeded to give the Cofagrigus a thumbs up, before turning back to Zoey.

“No, no I’m not an exception. I’m the norm. If we start believing that kindness and empathy aren’t the status quo, they won’t be. It’s just that cruelty and maliciousness have louder voices…

I’ve been down that road, Zoey. It… It was a bad road to be on.”

“Valentine’s Day…is kind of a weird day for me.”

She thinks about it for a minute, sipping on her hot cocoa. 

“I’ve had trouble trusting people ever since my first relationship. I won’t get too into it, it was several years ago, but…it once got to the point where I wouldn’t talk to anyone, aside from my mother, and my Pokemon. The reason I’m talkative and friendly nowadays…it’s because I didn’t want to give up on people. Just because one guy played me like a fool doesn’t mean the whole world will.”

“Opening up so deeply to someone, trusting them with everything and giving your all to making an ‘us’ with them… Only for disaster to strike and ruin everything… It takes some incredible strength and will to climb out of that abyss.”

[pkmnphotographer]

She nods, staring at her cup.
