#zelle trainer

[ask-byul]

hm... something about that kid...

...i'm sure it's nothing.

[ask-byul]

[byul looks away, feeling both frustrated and a little embarrassed from being seen in such a vulnerable state. there is something about this human that calms him, and he doesn’t feel like snapping at them. he looks over to zelle, wondering if he would give him similar advice.]

[it’s not hard to see he cares for his pokemon, and considering how patient he’s been with byul... maybe he shouldn’t be so quick to assume how jinyoung feels about him, after all. though he isn’t completely confident, he turns back to the human with determination in his eyes.]

even if i was born on poni island, jinyoung is my family now. whatever i find there... i won’t let it keep me from returning to him. i’ll... i’ll get stronger so i can protect him from anything, even from myself!

are you sure you don’t want me to help find them? it might be better to take you to a local police station or something if they’re out looking for you.

grr...

no, huh? okay, then i trust you know where to find them. go on, then, better get going.

[byul hesitates for a moment, then nudges at zelle’s hand until he gets the hint.]

no need to thank me, big guy. just hurry on back to your trainer. i can tell you’re worried about them too, from how well-behaved you’ve been trying to get back to them.

[byul furrows his brow, looking a little guilty. he takes one last look at zelle, who waves his hand in a shooing motion, before taking off into poni wilds.]

[byul is once more available for asks.]

[ask-byul]

grr...

oh, uh, don’t worry, i won’t take it away from you. we’re done here, so we can go catch a boat to poni island now...

*snicker*

toast, shush.

this is just some runaway who wants to go to poni island even though his trainer isn’t there.

shut up, i’m not running away! i just need to do something on poni island before i can go back to him, that’s all! he wouldn’t understand!

it’s...! it’s hard to explain, okay! this is something i have to do by myself!

well, okay... you can come inside, then. if you ever change your mind about your trainer, zelle takes real good care of runaways like us. i’m sure he wouldn’t mind.

[ask-byul]

why, is that where your trainer is or something? i mean, i guess we can hop on a boat, but i’ve gotta go check on some things first after the rain lets up, if you can wait.

[byul’s ears flatten in disappointment, and he lets the flyer drop from his mouth before something catches his eye from the window.]

MROW?!

[without thinking, byul takes off for the exit, zelle calling out after him in surprise.]

h-hey?? ah, well. maybe he changed his mind.

[ask-byul]

👀 for Zelle!!!

eventually you just stop caring about titles

[ask-byul]

mrowr!!

ah, yeah, i guess i did say i was gonna wait until it stopped raining. but i got a call, and one of the kids i look after got into a little accident, so i’ve gotta see if i should take him to a hospital sooner rather than later.
