Phone posting because late at night for me and can't sleep so I don't have art to post, sorry. But I did have a wonderful dream a few years back that encapsulated the feelings of adventure and being at home as long as you're with your bros that makes pokemon feel so much like reminiscing about warm summer days of youth spent playing with friends in the woods while sitting on the porch of your retirement cottage with a cup of tea, watching for fireflies in the garden as the sun begins to set on a lovely mid-june evening, knowing that time may be long past but there's still so much beauty and splendor to life ahead if you know where to look for it.
Anyways, that dream.
>running in a huge open field with my typhlosion
>not running from or to anything, just enjoying ourselves
>the grass is long and full of wildflowers, stretching for miles before us
>the breeze ruffles my hair and typhlosion occasionally brushes against my legs as he dashes around
>weather is perfect, just cool enough to stay comfortable and not sweat despite the exertion, warm enough a chill doesn't grip my lungs and sting my face
>cries of bird pokemon passing by overhead in the clear blue skies
>laughing and smiling from pure joy
>no responsibilities, no worries, just freedom
>occasionally spot other pokemon in the grass and wave to them as typhlosion gives a friendly roar when we pass by
>chase each other in circles until we trip over each other and brush it off with a giggle
>lay back in the grass beside each other and watch the clouds roll by for a while
>no thoughts of what tomorrow or the next day will bring just living in the moment
It was a simple dream, but one I will always cherish.
