‘…Festival? What is that?’

“Ah, it’s a festival where all the people in Undella can make a wish. It happens yearly and I’ve gone every year I’ve been here. It’s a wonderful festival and at the end, there’s fireworks that are shaped like flowers.

Everyone has the option of wearing clothing called yukata, or as I like to call them a ‘summer robe’. They’re quite comfy, actually.”

“The patron legendary for it is Jirachi, the Wish Pokemon, appropriately enough.”

“Even without my hypersensitive hearing I heard that. By tonight I’ll be back in my own body, so the answer is yes I wanna go to whatever a Jirachi festival is.”

“You do? That’s great! I’d be more than happy to have you along, Silv. You’re fine with crowds and noise, right?”

“It’s technically called the Wishing Festival but everyone calls it the Jirachi Festival because Jirachi is a legendary Pokemon that grants wishes.”

C-can I keep you?

“Unexpected but sure, why not. S’not like I’m going anywhere anytime soon.”

‘Can I keep you?’

“O’course y’can, sweetie.”

Insert a clinging to of Rebecca’s side. And possibly a nuzzle whoops.

“Wha-?”

“Oh, hello there.”

Rebecca gently pet Kin’s quills with a smile and gave him a hug.

Don’t you want to play with his big floppy ears?

“I am 26 years old and the former champion of the Unova. I do not do things that would be considered absolutely creepy in normal society.”

“His cholesterol is fine, and his heart is healthy. He has no risk of a heart attack anytime soon. Blood pressure is fine, too. Blood sugar was a little higher than average, so I told him to try and cut back on sugary foods.

Another weight was lifted from her heart as she gave him a tearful smile.

“Thank you… I’m so relieved that he’s alright…”

no but you did make him feel bad for his habits, instead of calmly reminding him again why his habits weren’t a good idea. some friend you are.

“Yes, I KNOW am an asshole, I know that and I fully admit it. But I’m not going to feel bad for someone who’s cholesterol levels are through the fucking roof through his own doing. Do you know how high his risk of a heart attack is right now? Fucking higher than mine, that’s for sure.”

“I informed him yesterday of food poisoning and the fact that his ‘habits’ expired the day before that. He kept eating them despite informing him. I’m not going to bother anymore. If he wants to drop of a heart attack brought on by high cholesterol, then by all fucking means.

Did anyone else think of food poisoning or to check the fucking expiration date?! HMM?!”

-Heat gave a whimper, his ears fallen as he stared at her, unsure if she was faking, then again Rebecca wouldn’t fake forgetting things to his knowledge. Idly laying a hand on her shoulder, and poking his nose against hers.- Rebby?… Don’t you remember? -He wasn’t really too good at this was he?-

Rebecca allowed the contact, not knowing why it comforted her.

“I apologize… I honestly don’t. I wish I could remember you, though… You seem like a kind person.”

-Out of nowhere a small ship comes blazing out of the sky, barely missing the house it crashed into the trainer’s yard-

Rebecca had been working in her orchard when she heard the crash coming from the beach, startling her as she called Triton out to help her investigate what it was.

What she found instead was a burning ship that she had Triton put out with an Ice Beam and the unconscious pilot, whom of which she carried back to the house and made sure there weren’t any serious injuries.
