After that sleep the Lombax was up and kind of about. He was still a little woozy but was sick of laying down.
“"Y-yeah I was fine. How’s m-my ship?”
“I’m glad you were alright, hun.”
“The good news is that the ice is gone and evaporated and it’s all cooled off. I had Goop lift it off the beach and get it onto the cliff but far away from the edge.
Bad news is that a few of the things inside got a little wet from the ice melting so I have them out to dry in the sun.”
“Alright.”
Settling down he gave Triton a look over. Strange as the creature was Sprocket couldn’t help but find them cute. Letting out a yawn he was well on his way to getting some sleep.
It was several hours before Rebecca came back in, her hair in all directions like she stuck a finger in an electric socket. She didn’t seem to notice or care, though.
“From the fact that Triton didn’t need to get me at all, I assume you’ve been just fine.”
That was a lot to take in all at once and it certainly sounded complicated. Not the kind of thing to be thinking about while trying to rest and recover from a cash.
“Mayb-be you can g-give me the full story l-later? I’m j-just a mechanic and j-junk man. Not a… I d-don’t even know w-who studies that k-kind of stuff.”
“I’ll give you the full story when you’re healed. In the meantime, I’ll go see if the sun melted the ice off your ship. It’s pretty hot today so that’s why I iced it down. Triton’ll keep an eye on you to make sure you’ll be okay, alright?”
She gave him a bright smile before plopping Triton by the futon and standing up, brushing off her legs.
Seems yawning was contagious. Watching the Vaporeon do it made Sprocket let out a big one before he could speak.
“W-what’s a Pokemon?”
Rebecca chuckled a bit, a smile on her face.
“Pokemon is the name of the species in a whole. Subspecies have individual names. For example, Triton is a Vaporeon.
Evolution here isn’t like evolution on other worlds. We use that word as a way to say that Pokemon is getting older and changes into a different form instantly. As another example, Triton evolved from an Eevee, another Pokemon in the evolution family. It’s also completely permanent.
The deep specifics are really complicated to explain in one day, though.”
Another weight was lifted from her heart as she gave him a tearful smile.
“Thank you… I’m so relieved that he’s alright…”
-Shadow glanced away, unsure about why he was being offered ice. Especially considering he’d only end up going back to his hell pit at one point or another. It wasn’t wise for him to get used to being cool. Staring down at him for about a full moment, before slowly accepting the ice with a sigh.
Placing the ice piece on his lap, Unsure of where to actually put it. As he continued to silently sip his water, trying to make it last like the little pack rat he was. Honestly Shadow wasn’t Sure about talking to a Human.
He just didn’t find it necessary. He didn’t think it was something he needed, or wanted to do. And it would probably take a few hours for him to even Say something, Shadow hardly ever even said Hello. Actually he still flat out didn’t even say that. If he wanted to talk he would either get straight to the point, or he would stare to provoke the other party to speak to him.
However, this other four legged creature seemed to be nice. Idly sighing as he stared off into his own little world there. As if thanking him without saying thank you.
It was rare when he even said the simplest things, and he often avoided it.-
Rebecca opened her eyes and blinked, looking like she had forgotten something. She went into the fridge, taking out Oran and Pecha berries and going to the counter, chopping them up almost mechanically before putting all the pieces into a bowl with Triton’s name on it. She then went to a small mat in the opposite corner of the kitchen and put the bowl down, going back to the table.
Triton heard the clack of his bowl, looking over at the mat near instantly and hopping over to it after giving the hedgehog’s knee a gentle pat with a paw and chirping at him. He started eating the berry slices happily, his tail fin wagging in delight.
“Vaporrrr~”
Nnnnnn.
-Okay so his favorite thing was offered, he’s not gonna deny an offer like Water of all things, hoping it wouldn’t upset his tummy as he idly picked it up, and slowly sipped it. Using both hands to hold the cup, with his knees tucked in to his chest still. Vaguely wondering why this creature was being so nice. Glancing around the environment, and realizing that this place seemed to be not his world.
Not his world by a Looong shot. Idly twitching his nose, the water seemed to be good for his throat. Hopefully no one would notice the blood stains everywhere on him, Not like he could clean himself up in his zone. It was probably the most obvious on his white chest fur, and the palms of his torn gloves.-
Triton chirped happily that the other was drinking the water, his tail fin plopping on the floor as he wagged it. He then iced over his paw and broke off a piece of ice, offering it to the hedgehog with his tail.
“Vaporr.”
Rebecca went back to the table, a fresh cup of tea in her hands as she sat down. She stayed quiet as she would allow the hedgehog to talk to her first, to take things at his own pace.
She sipped at her tea, brushing a lock of hair behind her headphones.
-Shadow took a while before actually peaking out. Wondering what the noise was, only to stare down at a blue creature relative to a pet.
Slowly letting his gaze go to the berries, Honestly he probably couldn’t take that much food. But he’d definitely wouldn’t mind taking it home, After all he didn’t know when his next meal, or Rouges, Or Sonic’s next meals would be. It was best to hoard these types of things when he could/ Slowly reaching a hand out, and pulling the plate over to himself.
The peace offering was accepted. Although, rather than eating any of it given his stomach’s current condition, Thank’s to Ray who stuffed an entire cheese cake one to two slices at a time into his mouth.
Casually picking the berries up one at a time, and putting them one by one into his quills. Before snapping back into a childish state, with his arms and legs tucked inwards. Staring in question towards the creatures in the room. Be it a Pokemon, or a Human.-
Triton blinked and sniffed at the hedgehog curiously before sneezing to the side. Ashes didn’t agree with the Vaporeon’s nose. There was a quiet whistle and Triton padded back over to Rebecca. He was back a moment later with a cup of cold water, placing it in front of the other, plopping right back on his rear.
“Vaporrr.”
Triton happily chirped, gently nudging at the cup to tell the other to drink it.
-In which we see the rare sight, Of shadow in the far corner wheezing, curled up like a little kid. Not really wanting to peak out at a Human.
Although humans normally made him Mad, how he was now he was generally kind of Scared. He didn’t really want to talk to a human. Or, interact with one. Humans were scary. Although he used to know some that weren’t for him, for all he knew humans were scary creatures, although this opinion was based mostly on his life style in the future of his zone. It came mostly due to the people living in paranoia, fear, and violence. To be honest Shadow didn’t really like any of that, Especially now of all times, when he actually had a full stomach for once.-
The Vaporeon padded into the kitchen and Rebecca gave him the plate of Sitrus berries, motioning to the corner.
Triton softly chirped, expertly balancing the plate on his head as he went to the corner. The plate clinked as it was placed on the floor in front of the hedgehog and Triton plopped his finned butt down and chirped for the other’s attention.
“Vaporrr~”
-Shadow randomly Chaos controled, for what seemed to be no aparent reason, Plopping face first to meet Table in the face, looking up only to shriek out.
NOT DELICATE
-Before twitching, and taking a moment to blankly blink at the other, before scrambling his mouse self all the way to the opposite corner with a loud, girlish scream. Humans were not friend.-
Rebecca sat there in a bit of shock for a few moments, mentally thanking Arceus she had gotten the stronger table when furniture shopping before standing up and getting a paper towel. First she cleaned the spilled tea, then she put the tea cup pieces in the garbage, calling Triton in.
She put a few freshly washed Sitrus berries on a plate, waiting for Triton to come in.
