>>11821616Figures. You take the country maiden back to your secret mountain retreat so that she can finally try to convince you to get off this frosty rock, and guess what?
She doesn't say a damn thing.
Geez, you're really pessimistic in your thoughts, aren't you? You can't help but wonder if the same dull sarcastic tone in your head is also evident in your natural speaking voice.
A natural voice you don't use very often.
You look over from your rice at the girl, she seems to be shivering, from the cold you assume. What? Did the Steelix send his big tail up her rump or something?
Cute things irritate you, that's been established. You're so edgy that a mere smile from your mother is just asking for somebody to get punched in the abdomen.
You sigh.
"What do you want?"She jumps. A voice other than her own speaking, MY WORD how unfathomable! Leaf turns to you, having almost dropped her coffee on her lap.
"D-Did you...did you just..?"
You nod. She isn't getting anymore than that.
Her shoulders drop, at least she's getting comfortable, "You know why I'm here. This is a nice cave and all, I didn't think you were living in one, but still, this is crazy! You need to come home right now, everyone in Kanto's worried about you, you've trained long enough now!"
You shake your head and then point her to a poke ball. You can't go back. You're too much of a changed person, too edgy, too strong.
"Balderdash!" she retorts.
Did she really just say that?
