“Ehhh! What happened?”


    “Bulbasaur?”


    Sabrina and the Pokémon met Vannesa and Bulbasaur halfway through the Forrest.


    The Dragon Breath should have served as a very good Landmark.


    Even though astonished, Vanessa seems to read the mood after her initial burst and stays quiet, going a few steps ahead.


    Bulbasaur senses Sabrina’s complex Emotion and intervenes bis Vines im her Hand.


    It’s a bit more complicated, with her hands each holding and elbow to cradle Exeggcute and Oddish, but very well possible.


    She grips the Vine a bit tighter, after feeling how Bulbasaur tries to reassure her.


    Her Emotions are a mess.


    At first, there was worry about so many things.


    She couldn’t grasp what happened, what she should have done or… anything at all!


    She would scream at her past self, maybe. Even now she doesn’t know really what was.


    Poachers? Normal Pokémon Trainer who planned for that? She doesn’t know!


    Then everything was going so fast.


    A Dragon Breath was fired of, and it was beautiful, terrifying, and maybe so many other things but she couldn’t keep up!


    Just so that she now walks away with the Pokémon he raised?


    She doesn’t get, she doesn’t understand! Its just so infuriating!


    Oddish and Exeggcute notice the change in Sabrina’s gait.


    Before, it was slow, a bit unsteady. And she didn’t breath until she felt that she needed too.


    Now, her steps are very deliberate. A steady Rhythm in her breathing, achieved by being conscious of it.


    Exeggcute moves a bit to look up.


    There, he sees Sabrina gaze pointed forward, a complex swirl of Emotion deep underneath.


    Even though a Psychic Pokémon, he isn’t adapt in reading other mental state, as he could neither develop his psychic abilities with peers, nor is his species generally adapt at reading others.


    But it at least allowed him get distracted by his current worries.


    So he tries to mentally contact Abra.


    To quick for anyone liking, they reach Route 7.


    Only Vanessa is a bit happy inside that the stifling Atmosphere won’t last for much longer.


    Even though she is surprised as Sabrina’s voice rings out.


    ”We need to make it clear.


    I believe he wanted that you all come with me, but you are your own entities.


    While his Judgement might seem objectively the best from his point of view, you are also individuals with feeling.


    That is not supposed to mock him, that he didn’t think of you, but he was also desperate.


    You should be able to make your own choice and own reasoning.”


    As she finished speaking, the mood turned gloomy again.


    Gloomy might not be the best o word for it.


    Rather, it’s like a Funeral, with a complex relationship between two parties, that involves not knowing each other but having to interact.


    Which is one way to describe what happened.


    And now the tempting option of ignoring each other and living their live is one the table, but no one knows what they should do after and it would disrespect him.


    Abra was the first act.


    ”Ab.”


    He levitated his Pokéball to Sabrina’s Belt, were Bulbasaur already hang.


    His gaze was then directed at Vulpix.


    Sabrina then notices how the three Pokémon besides Vulpix and Abra look very young.


    And even someone like her can say that since everyone is at least mildly underdeveloped.


    Oddish still has some Purple spots and leaves tinier enough to notice.


    Exeggcute, she believes, is a bit paler, but that can be imagination. Or rather, she just feels that he is very young, instead of seeing something.


    And Comfey is especially noticeable, since her main body is in a power yellow, and the line she holds to make her wreath is rather sized for a wristband, instead of on around the neck or as headwear. Not that it would have been much of a difference on an Drampa.


    If you spot this narrative on Amazon, know that it has been stolen. Report the violation.She didn’t notice it until know, as Comfey floated a bit behind and anytime else she was concentrated on other things.


    ”Vuuu.”


    ”Ab.”


    ”Vuuu, Vulpix!”


    ”Abra.”


    ”Bulba.”


    Whatever they talked about, Vulpix began to cry again.


    She cried until her face was distorted from it.


    But she managed to bring up the Power to push the Pokéball, which Abra placed for her, to Sabrina.


    Which seemed to be the point were everything broke for her, the final self-admission she won’t see him again.


    Sabrina turned around after picking up the Pokéball, letting her have the room to cry she needs.


    Exeggcute didn’t take long. He steeled himself before announcing his decision with determination to Abra, who then gave Sabrina his Pokéball.


    Before even properly on the belt, Exeggcute called himself back, having kept up a brave face until know.


    Oddish seems to be a bit in denial. Unsure of what she should do.


    Comfey seems to try to buy her Time, so she doesn’t feel pressured.


    Her Choice seems to be too follow Sabrina before making her Choice.


    She repeats that openly and then asks if that’s the gist.


    After nodding, Comfey talks to Oddish in an comforting Voice, probably telling her to not feel pressured.


    ”Odd! Oddish!”


    That seems that it triggered something in Oddish, as she jumps down from Sabrina’s Arms, while shaking Comfey off.


    She then bows to Sabrina, before saying her Name in a Manner similar to ‘Please take care of me’ and calling herself back.


    It didn’t go unnoticed how silently, there seem to be a fire lit in her Eyes.


    Comfey only shakes her head in a disapproving Manner.


    Sabrina then approaches Vannesa, hearing Vulpix still sniffing.


    ”I am Sorry that it ended like that.”


    ”No biggie. Or rather, you seem to have it hard.”


    ”it was very unexpectedly, but I am sorry, I can’t currently talk about it, everything is a mess…”


    ”Calm down, calm down. Whatever happened, it also hit you deeply.


    There isn’t any harm done to me, so concentrate on yourself first, Okay?”


    ”Hmm. I’ll try to make it up somehow, but I probably won’t go Pokémon capturing anymore.


    Ensuring that they are fine for now takes priority for me.”


    Vanessa pats Sabrina’s left shoulder, while the right is occupied by a tired Comfey.


    Still, she, Abra and Bulbasaur listened to them while not interrupting.


    As for Vanessa, she tries to lift the Mood a bit.


    ”Look at you talking like a seasoned Trainer, eh?


    Really, no worries. To take care of your Pokémon’s is important.”


    ”Hmm. I am…”


    ”And I caught even a Pidgey!”


    “? When? No, sorry, I guess I…”


    A stronger clap on her shoulder.


    Vanessa looks at her a bit aggrieved.


    ”Haaa, don’t apologise so much. I know what you’re thinking.


    You were selfish for thinking that you run of like that but still expect me to lay everything down to search for you, instead of thinking I use the time for my own good? Or that you ruined something?


    Let me tell you, alone finding on of the less heard Pokémon of so easily would be a rare spectacle.


    But you had a whole adventure it seems and maybe a full Team!


    Additional, your a bit more feisty then that remember?


    You called me stupid or something for not knowing about Flash Fire.


    By the Way, which Pokémon native to Kanto and have Fire Type don’t have Flash Fire?”


    ”Haa, Growlithe and Ponyta evolutions have a good chance to have it or not.


    Flareon and Vulpix will most likely have it.


    The Magmar Evolution won’t have it.


    Moltres, the legendary Pokémon also likely won’t have it.


    And Charmander plus Evolutions can’t get it.


    But be careful there, as it will probably have Blaze instead.


    Blaze is nasty, since when it gets wounded enough, the Power of Fire Attacks will increase the same as if with Flash Fire.”


    ”Got it! Just asking you about the abilities of Pokémon when the need rises up.


    By the Way, what Legendary Pokémon do we have in Kanto?”


    ”What?


    ”You know, our Teacher regarding that was pretty chill, so I just slept through it.”


    ”What?! Don’t skip out eduction!”


    Sabrina wasn’t too loud, but still shouted.


    At least no one present was startled, besides Comfey who nearly began to nap.


    ”I know we have three legendary birds in Kanto!”


    As if the argument made any difference, Vanessa proudly displayed her Knowledge.


    ”Do you even know there name or Type?”


    ”Ehh, Zapdos was Electric. Then…”


    ”…”


    ”I just listed Moltres as a Fire Pokemon. And every one of the Birds does have flying type too.


    Last would be Articuno, the Ice Flying Type Pokemon.”


    ”Cool. Do the have some kind of special Job to do or something?”


    ”Vanessa. You are asking very weird questions there.”


    ”Ahahahahaha.”
