' pokemon please ! ' @detcrmwit
send “pokemon please!” for green to give you a new pokebuddy
“here,” green stops pacing around the lab to shove a clipboard in rusty’s arms, before turning and digging through another cabinet full of files and papers, scrunching up his face as he skims through all of them.
the clipboard in question has a list of all the pokemon under his care, and is a good 20 pages or so thick - with hundreds of names under each page. finally, his eyes light up when he sees what he wants to see, and he power-walks across the first floor to pry a pokeball out of a slot in the wall where it was warming up.
when he turns back to rusty, he offers a small smile, even if it’s a bit strained.
“the pokemon i’m giving you requires a bit of work, but most pokemon do - so if you care for him, he’ll change you as a person in return.” which was his hope.
letting the pokemon out of his pokeball, a machop appears, stretching before looking up at his new trainer, waving happily with a grin spread across his face.
“machop are friendly, loyal, and steadfast.” he knelt down to pat the machop’s cheek with a more genuine smile, earning an affectionate rumble from the pokemon. “they’re very self-sufficient and love helping out their trainers with hard work, but they require proper nutrition, proper exercise, and lots of food.”
standing back up, green takes machop’s hand gently, peering back up at rusty.
“i’ll be giving you instructions on how to care and train for him, and i’ll provide you with some parks that offer the kind of exercise machop will need. you’ll probably find yourself buying food more often, but, if you take care of him properly, you’ll be met with one of the strongest pokemon that will care for you in return.”
suddenly, however, he turns serious, pointing a finger accusingly at the younger trainer.
“i’m trusting you here, okay? i know he can take care of himself and will defend himself if you mistreat him, but this is a chance for you to properly grow as a trainer.” his tone going cold, he juts his finger into rusty’s chest.
