-Heat gave a small huff, and rubbed his own waist, feeling slightly awkward bent over like this.-

Pissy?

Ah. If you wish we can brush him before we go.

-He said, idly running his fingers as if to comb Marshmallows puffy fleece.-

Marshmallow looks like he’s part of this ‘sheep’ I’ve read about.

“Well when we met, I did say animal experimentation is illegal, didn’t I?”

“And laws exist in civilized places so people don’t go murdering or harming others at the drop of a hat.”

Rebecca shook her head, getting out from under the Dragon/Flying type, giving the giant bird a hearty smack on the rear.

“Nah, we’ve got a date today. We can brush his pissy ass later. Sorry about that, Heat. Marshmallow’s just a jealous pain in the booty.”

Weird.image I don’t know what a store is or what crimes are or what indecent means but, I meant like taking them inside and giving them at least a bath and some fresh clothes to leave in.

-Heat idly followed, slipping out the door like a little child attached to his mother, and suddenly he was tugged downwards, having to lean down so he didn’t accidentally choke. Blinking at the white fluffy wool like object, with some blue that seemed pretty to him. Holding his collar as if it’d assist him.-

You okay Rebecca?

“Stores are were you get new things at. Crimes are illegal things like animal abuse, child abuse, murder and so on.”

“Indecent means you’re naked and it’s illegal to be naked in front of children.”

As she was used to Marshmallow pouncing on her by now, she was able to speak without much difficulty.

“Yeah, I’m good. This is Marshmallow the Altaria. No worries, he’s just being pissy that I haven’t brushed his fluff today.”

“Thank you.”

The day didn’t seem so bad anymore. So many wonderful people had stepped in to pick him up while he was down, and Silver was more receptive to their kind words than he used to be. “The same goes for you. I’ll always be here, even if I vanish. As long as you don’t forget me, I’ll still be with you.”

“I’ll never forget you, Silv.”

“Never ever.”

With that, she gently squeezed her best friend in her arms. Somehow she had been able to hear what he said, perhaps because of the close proximity.

Such kind words. Everyone always gave him so many kind words. Why was he always so emotionally fragile? Maybe it was time to toughen up. The hug was more than accepted. Silver allowed his body to relax, and he just stood there, savoring every second he got of that physical affection. It was meaningful.

Special.

Rebecca softly whispered as she hugged her best friend, not trusting her voice not to yell.

“You’re my best friend, Silv. No amount of scared humans’ll change that either.”

“I’ll always be here for you, so y’can have a shoulder to lean on when you’re tired. I promise.”

“…Sorry.”

Defeated, he hung his head, a heavy frown on his face. Silver took in a breath, and released, raising a shaky hand, and accepting the other’s gesture of kindness.

“It just… doesn’t feel like it. Maybe I’m being selfish, I don’t know. I’m just really confused right now.”

"It’s okay, Silv.”

Rebecca got up on her knees and gently pulled Silver into a warm hug.

“You have the right to be selfish. You have the right to be confused. You have the right to feel whatever your heart feels. I’ll be here for you all the way.”

She took off her headphones, revealing faint, faded scarring inside them. Rebecca was quiet now, unable to hear the other unless he yelled.

“But you’re still human. No matter what may be wrong, you’re still human. I’m a hedgehog.” Silver was conditioned to believe being human automatically made someone above him. That was how the world worked where he was from, it was hard for him to adjust to something new.

“…You’re way too kind to me. I don’t deserve it.”

“And you can think, speak and act of your own free will. I honestly see nothing wrong with that. To me, you’re as much as my friend as Triton is and I wouldn’t do a thing to change that. You’re your own person and I wish to treat you as such.”

Rebecca offered her hands to her friend, still knelt on the ground.

“Silv. I believe you do deserve it. You deserve kindness beyond measure. A hug and a home is what I can offer you.”

“Why would you wanna talk to me? You’re a human. You’re above me.”

”…Hun, if you’re speaking literally, I’ve got some things to tell you…“

The former champion was attempting to cheer things up with a small joke, her eyebrow twitching giving it away. She knelt down on front of her friend, making it clear that she wasn’t ‘above’ anyone.

"I want to talk to you because you’re my friend. Do I really need any other reason? And I doubt that you’re ‘above’ me, Silv. I’m just a little girl who needs equipment to be able to hear.

You have powers, you’re from the future, as crappy as it is, you’re brave, strong and you’re one of my very best friends.”

Why not give them a bath then if they’re unpleasant?image -Heat asked, blinking in confusion, as he followed her like a puppy towards the door.- Yes they are very comfortable.

Ah, this makes sense however it makes me wonder why one does not call these pokemon animals.

To put it simply every organic seems to be an animal of some sort.

“Because in this world, it’s indecent for adults to walk into stores naked where there may be children. It’s a crime called ‘indecent exposure’ and can get you prison time.”

“I’m glad, I didn’t think that pair would be good enough.”

The trainer walked out the door, holding Heat’s hand as the chain leash clinked.

“Different histories, different names-”

As soon as Rebecca had walked out of the shade of the house, she had been plowed to the ground by Marshmallow, her Altaria.

-He flushed slightly, taking a moment to process what was said before slipping them on his paws, and giving a small squeak.-image I do not see why some people would not provide service for people without shoes, I know I certainly provide it.

Without pants as well.

One doesn’t even need clothes for my service.

-He commented, combing his fingers into his own fur as he listened and waited.-

… Ah.

I still do not know what a Pokemon is exactly, but alright.

“It’s because there are some people who go into stores all filthy and smelly. Some stores don’t want that so they make policies against it. Not to mention that children go into the front of the store to pick out a collar for their Pokemon.”

“Those comfy? Alright, off we go.”

Rebecca gently tugged his hand and opened the door to outside, a hand over her eyes as they adjusted to the light.

“Pokemon are this world’s equivalent to animals so there are hundreds of different species. Luca, for example, is a Lucario.”
