O-Ouch…

–The timid boy grimaced in sympathy then blinked as he looked out at the tall tree and swallowed nervously. He then thought as he looked around… Wally hoped that… ‘They’ll like me— but what if I mess up and make them unhappy…?’ All Wally wanted was a pokemon- No. A friend. A friend that he could have as a partner… Just a friend— Wally spotted a tiny pokemon peeking out from the tall grasses with a tiny smile as if he knew what the sickly boy was thinking. This moment, he felt instantly connected to this pokemon.–

…

–The small ralts disappeared, beckoning Wally to follow as he took a step forward and hestitated but… Wally wanted him as his friend and his first friend. Then he looked at Rebecca timidly and swallowed nervously.-

I-I’m going in the tall grass now…

–The timid boy went into the tall grass but then peeked out with flushed cheeks nervously.–

You-You have to watch, o-ok? 

Rebecca saw the look on Wally’s face, recognizing it as the same one she herself had made when she had met Marshmallow. When he poked his head out of the grass again, she gave him a smile and pat his head encouragingly.

“I’m watchin’, Cuz’. Not gonna look away. You can do this, alright?”

“Good luck and don’t get frustrated.”

She ruffled his hair and took a step back to give him room.
