#wakes up each day and thinks how can he be cryptic and intimidating and condescending all at the same time to That One Trainer

And somehow she came away from all that going "That's my friend" about N, which says a lot about Lettie, I think.

Offers her an assortment of berries. Freshly plucked from off of the trees and everything.

"Here... If you're going to recover, you need to eat."

you would think her ravenous, you would believe her undignified, from how thin she is, from the blow she withstood. yet, she is nothing short of NOBLE AND PROUD, even in pain.

the saya's movements are slow, and although shaky, METHODIC. each piece of food thorn in half with her hands. IT'S A GESTURE SHE'S KNOWN WELL; and although she lacks the large sharing table she had sat on with the monks, although the air lacks the perfumes she's known and this food is STRANGER to her, for now, it shall do.

she passes a half, silent, to her benefactor. is he ? the way she looks at him wouldn't show any kind of GRATITUDE whatsoever; still full of MISTRUST, still KEEPING THE BLADE CLOSE. even now, she follows tradition. EAT WITH ME.

❝ I want to hear your pokemon. ❞

Hear his Pokémon?

The nerve of this kid.

Alder can't be bothered to open to say something in return, he'd be unkind. He was already feeling the flames of his old-buried temper licking at his heart and at this age he should know better than to let it get the best of him.

Sure, I've got nothing to hide! Hear them, then!

It's written all over his face that the 'King of Team Plasma' is getting to him. His strong brow was furrowed and his mouth in a tight, unhappy line-- he couldn't look the other man in the face when he fumbled with the belt at his hip and released three of his Pokémon from their capsules.

While they're materialising, the old Champion turns on a heel and walks away. When he's far enough, he stops and sits cross-legged right where he is, back turned to his team and N.

Left before N is Vanilluxe, Accelgor and Escavalier. They begin playing around with each other the first moment they can, until they lay their eyes on N and the two Bug-types regard him warily.

Vanilluxe, however, is flitting about and having a great time. Spinning where it floats, dancing in loose circles around the Accelgor and Escavalier, who question why N is bothering their partner and friend.

❝ Father... When Unova's pokemon have all been liberated, won't you miss your friends? ❞

In private, he lets N call him 'father'. Give that boy some semblance of normalcy, make him believe the bond between them is deeper than it is.

It's a small way of achieving that goal, but Ghetsis finds it relatively more tolerable than making an active effort on his own part.

He laughs lightly, as though N's question amused him,

"We are good people, Natural."

N had only met Ghetsis' 'friends' so sparingly.

"We won't have to give up our Pokémon. It is only cruel people we liberate from..."

His finger raises to a point, signifying a lesson to be learned. Come now, N, you've heard the plan many times before. Surely it can't be so hard to remember it?

He looks N right in the eye, "-- Which is an unfortunately large amount. Worry not, all of the Pokémon in the world will soon be free from the shackles that bind them, and you will bring this change. Our 'friends' are allies toward that goal."

❝ Your Zorua... Their voice is so loud. ❞

“Yeah?”

Ree doesn’t seem surprised by the strangers comment. Pickip is curled up in their lap, happily accompanying them for their duties today. It’s been a lot of work, they’ve been incredibly busy even after the season ended, but Ree’s scrappy enough and determined enough to keep trying.

Pickip barks, seemingly in agreement with the man. Her tail wags excitedly as she raises her head to look at him. Ree scratches absentmindedly between her ears.

“I ain’t surprised. She’s always had a lot to say.”

"Yo! You enjoyin' the beach?" Marlon asked, walking up to the other. Somehow, this person looked a little familiar...

" Hm? Oh... Your Serperior. His voice is so loud. You must be very close with him. " / for kazuya

@castleclysm

❝ Oh, um...aha, yeah... ❞ Whoa, okay, stranger danger. Or perhaps more accurately, former head of criminal organization danger. Kazuya remembered the news coverage well enough to know that head of green hair, and the association immediately put him on edge. The coverage sort of stopped after N disappeared, so as far as Kazuya knew, little could have changed in those two years...

...But Slithers seemed relaxed speaking with N, and Slithers had a pretty good radar for danger to his trainer. Seeing him so calm definitely helped ease Kazuya's nerves a little...

❝ He -- he's helped me out of some really tight spots, ever since he was a Snivy, ❞ he explained, swallowing thickly. ❝ I might've gotten really hurt one time if not for him protecting me... ❞

❝ The boy has a good heart, ❞ N would hear from the serpent. ❝ One in need of a friend when we first met. Neither of us would be who we are today without the other's guidance. ❞
