CorruptedMoon Posted April 4, 2011 Share Posted April 4, 2011 "Damn it, Cynder, I don't think I can take this much longer!" Ethan whispered, trembling as tears began to well up. "I know...I know I'm hurting him, badly. But I'm so confused! It's not fair!" He wrapped his arms around himself as he began shaking with soft sobs. Cynder whined softly, nuzzling his trainer.

CorruptedMoon Posted April 4, 2011 Share Posted April 4, 2011 -Fast forward to the end of Victory Road, why? Because- Ethan was exhausted, Victory Road was nearly impossible, but he and his team had made it! Now all he wanted to do was get some rest, but somehow he had a feeling that he was going to have to wait a little longer. He glanced at Cynder who was just as exhausted as he was. Out of his team, his starter was the only one who was handling everything so well. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shadow Fire Posted April 4, 2011 Author Share Posted April 4, 2011 Just as Ethan had made it to the end, Silver entered, walking up to the raven-haired trainer. "Ethan..." he said softly. "I see your travels are going well." Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Shadow Fire Posted April 5, 2011 Author Share Posted April 5, 2011 Silver gave a slight smile, glancing down for a moment. "I'd have asked for a little battle..." he continued. "But with how strong you are, I wouldn't last long. I just wanna wish you luck with the Pokemon League. You'll need to face all of the Elite Four and then Lance. If you should lose, you would need to start again. I... Believe in you, Ethan." Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Shadow Fire Posted April 6, 2011 Author Share Posted April 6, 2011 Snappy stalked off in frustration, Silver blinking. "I need to see what's wrong with him..." he mumbled. "Good luck... Ethan."

CorruptedMoon Posted April 6, 2011 Share Posted April 6, 2011 "...yeah..." Ethan mumbled, lowering his head. He turned towards the exit of Victory Road and headed out, Cynder following him. The fire starter was frustrated that Ethan couldn't finish what he wanted to say, but seeing the heartbroken look on his face as they left, he couldn't hold it against him.

Shadow Fire Posted April 6, 2011 Author Share Posted April 6, 2011 Silver finally caught up to Snappy, panting as he tried to catch his breath. "Snappy..." he said to the Feraligatr. "What's gotten into you?" Suddenly, Silver noticed the enraged tears that were falling. "Why do you let him hurt you like that? He was the one who kissed you first, yet he can't admit his feelings? I can't stand to see you hurt like this!" Silver remained silent. Though he couldn't understand, he still got the gist of what his Pokemon was saying.

CorruptedMoon Posted April 10, 2011 Share Posted April 10, 2011 Ethan was too emotionally and physically drained to even TRY taking on the Elite Four right away. Instead he got his team healed up and got a room for the night. The moment he shut the door, he collapsed to his knees and began to cry. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shadow Fire Posted April 10, 2011 Author Share Posted April 10, 2011 The red-haired trainer dropped backwards onto the grass and stared up at the sky, which was already showing the first stars of the night. "I don't know..." he said softly, in response to Snappy's earlier growling. "I just... he's made me see the world as a nicer place. I... I love him, Snappy." Said Pokemon sat down next to his trainer, staring at him. "Maybe... but he's hurting you. I can't take much more of this." Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CorruptedMoon Posted April 10, 2011 Share Posted April 10, 2011 "W-what's wrong with me?!" Ethan whimpered. "W-why couldn't I-I say it?" Cynder whined softly, nuzzling his trainer, "You'll be okay. These things take time..." Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shadow Fire Posted April 10, 2011 Author Share Posted April 10, 2011 "I told him..." Silver whispered softly. "...I'll wait for him. All good things are worth waiting for." Snappy glanced away, still looking upset and angry. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CorruptedMoon Posted April 10, 2011 Share Posted April 10, 2011 "I want to tell him...I just can't get the words out." Ethan whispered, squeezing his eyes shut. "I really am weak." Cynder growled faintly, nudging his trainer, "Don't say such things!" Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shadow Fire Posted April 10, 2011 Author Share Posted April 10, 2011 Silver gave a dark smile, looking over at his Feraligatr. "I used to always call him weak..." he mumbled. "But the reality is... he's far stronger than I can ever hope to be. I am truly the weak one, and--..." WHAM! Silver blinked as he saw one of Snappy's fists had slammed into the ground beside him, the Pokemon glaring back at his master. "Don't EVER say anything like that again, got it?! You are NOT weak!" Silver looked blank for a moment, before giving a small smile. "Thanks, Snappy..." he murmured. "I'm lucky to have you with me..." Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CorruptedMoon Posted April 10, 2011 Share Posted April 10, 2011 Slowly, Ethan rubbed the remainder of his tears away as he got up and stumbled over to the bed. "I'll tell him...soon. I can't wait any longer." He whispered, curling up tightly. Cynder watched his trainer before laying down and sighing softly. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shadow Fire Posted April 10, 2011 Author Share Posted April 10, 2011 Snappy glanced away, not making any movements when he heard Silver get to his feet. Hearing footsteps, he suddenly widened his eyes as his trainer, in a very out-of-character fashion, gave him a hug. "I never thought this for a long time..." the red-haired boy said softly. "...but you're probably my best friend. Thank you for being there for me, Snappy." The Pokemon remained silent from shock, before slowly hugging back. "The road was tough, but I always believed in you. I'm happy to have you as my master... my friend..." Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CorruptedMoon Posted April 11, 2011 Share Posted April 11, 2011 With that determined thought in mind, the raven haired teen fell into an uneasy sleep. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shadow Fire Posted April 11, 2011 Author Share Posted April 11, 2011 Finally releasing each other from their embrace, both Pokemon and Trainer sat down on the grass, before laying backwards and glancing up at the stars. They remained that way before falling asleep. I'll be cheering you on, Ethan... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CorruptedMoon Posted April 12, 2011 Share Posted April 12, 2011 The next morning the raven haired teen got up slowly. He stretched and yawned softly before gently petting his starter awake. "Come on Cynder, let's get ready to take on the Elite." Cynder yawned, showing off his sharp canines before nodding. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
