Mewtwo continued on. They were very slow but made up for it by being very careful. Treating the berries almost like they’d explode if they were shaken too much. Without thinking about it they reached out with their wrapped up hand but the Pokemon did their best to hide it again.  

Rebecca simply glanced at the little Pokemon’s injury, a little sympathy in her eyes.

“I’ll get you some ice for that later, okay?”

She did her best to harvest the Cheri berries, moving to next tree when she was finished with the last.

Hesitantly they reached out with their right arm again. Slowly picking a single berry they were very, very careful to be gentle.

‘Like this?’

Rebecca gave them an encouraging smile and nodded.

“Yes, that’s perfect, sweetie.”

The former champion hid her now trembling hand in her pocket, using her other hand to pick each Cheri berry.

smallestclone:

The small Pokemon didn’t notice the sound. But they did stare with a blank expression as the juice dripped. 

‘Irritants? So I shouldn’t pick them then?’

That was confusing. All Mewtwo wanted to do was help. Does that mean she shouldn’t be picking them either?

“It’s only a problem if you squeeze them.”

Rebecca flicked her hand off to the side to get rid of the juice, mentally noting the sizzle it made when it came in contact with the grass.

“Now you know for next time, sweetie.”

smallestclone:

Mewtwo simply nodded. Reaching out with their uninjured hand they tried to pick a few berries, following the trainer’s movements. They didn’t really know they should be careful about squeezing them.

“Ah, be careful, sweetie!”

Rebecca gently took the berries from the little Pokemon just in time for them to pop, the skin-irritating juices dripping from her fingers. If one listened closely, they could almost hear a sizzle.

“Just made it… The juice in Cheri berries are terrible skin irritants. I didn’t want to see what it could do to your fur, sweetie.”

smallestclone:

Shuffling on their spot on the trainer’s shoulder. Mewtwo turned so they were facing somewhat away, making sure Rebecca couldn’t see their left side. Though their head did turn back to watch as she picked the tree.

Rebecca’s hands worked gently as she picked the Cheri berries, making sure she didn’t squeeze them too hard.

She looked at the little Pokemon on her shoulder, a small smile on her face.

“You doing okay, sweetie?”

smallestclone:

They weren’t sure what this juice was but still wanted to help regardless. Clutching onto her shoulder, Mewtwo gave a big nod.

“Mew!”

“Awesome, sweetie.”

“Off we go.”

The former champion walked into the orchard, putting the other baskets down at the entrance and going to the first tree in the Cheri row.

smallestclone:

That got Mewtwo to stick their little head out of the pile somewhat. Looking up to the trainer they actually looked a little excited.  

‘Bath time again?’

“This bath is for clothes only. Not for little Pokemon as you would get hurt by what I use to wash them.”

Rebecca plopped the pile onto her bed.

“If you’d like, I can give you a bath afterwards. I got watermelon-scented bubble bath this time.”

smallestclone:

The little Pokemon just dug deeper into the clothes. Thinking that if the Human couldn’t see them maybe they’d forget they were there.

“Mew.”

“I already know you’re in there, little one. Come out please.”

Rebecca let out a sigh, picking up the pile of clothes with the little Pokemon in it.

“I guess I’ll just have to wash these with you in them.”

smallestclone:

Looks like the little Pokemon has dug themselves into a clothing basket. All the clothes were messed up but they didn’t know they were supposed to be folded and neat. Mewtwo was nice and snugly, that was enough for them. 

Rebecca slapped her forehead upon finding the little Pokemon in the pile of clothes. She gently poked him with a huff.

“Hun, that’s not a bed.”
