Sixteenth Sacrament: Progression

[11121_assumption]

[ On the network this evening, it's Walter. He's sat on his sofa with some of his Pokemon around him; Reed the Decidueye is perched on the back of the chair and leaning forward because he is far too tall to be seen otherwise. Claudia, his alolan Ninetales, is sat by his legs and Assumption is sat right beside him on the chair. He waves when the gear flips on and Walter sighs softly. ]

My Pokemon have had eggs again. I have a list of the parents involved and what their offspring will be, for those who wish to purchase any. I only ask for 1000P for each egg.

I'm not sure why they've done this.

[ At that muttered aside, Reed coos and presses his forehead to Walter's crown. Assumption jumped up and pulled out a badge case, chattering excitedly. He opened it and showed the contents off to the gear; eight gleaming badges, all from the Johto region. Walter ducked his head bashfully, reaching out and touching Assumption's skull. ]

Urm...thank you. But nobody needed to know about that. [ Assumption just smiled and Claudia leaned on his side. ]

[Reed's antics get a quiet laugh out of Cissnei. What a charming owl.]

Then I suppose I should congratulate all of you--human and Pokemon alike.

[Tseng shifts on Cissnei's shoulders, moving around so he's perched on just one side, carefully balancing himself there so he can get a better view.]

I'm glad you were able to. Evolve I mean. I guess that means Walter trusts you completely, doesn't it?

[11121_assumption]

Thank you.

[ He was still incredibly bashful about the praise, but gave her a small smile. From above him, Reed gave an approving cry, spreading his wings - and nearly smacking both Assumption and Claudia. Woops. Claudia leaned from him, giving him a mild look - she was used to Reed's...flamboyant gestures, even if they were a little ridiculous - and turned back to Tseng. ]

Yes. It's an honour to have been chosen and to know that he trusts me so... and this new form has benefits I had not considered. Walter must have known but I am now immune to Dragon type attacks.

[Oh Reed. You are just a darling.]

Seems like someone is extremely proud of you, Walter.

[Tseng frowns some when Claudia is almost smacked, giving Reed a slight glare before it softens as he looks at the object of his affection.]

It sounds like you're going to rather unstoppable at this rate, Claudia.

[11121_assumption]

[ Walter sighed but while the look he gave Reed was dry...there was affection there too. ]

Reed is...not subtle, in expressing himself. [ Reed also didn't care. His head was bobbing to some kind of rhythm, even as he tucked his wings in and leaned over Walter's back. He did not care for Tseng's look, giving him a sharp eyed glance. Thankfully he wasn't about to kick up a fight, as Claudia was talking with him. ]

No, not unstoppable...I still have my weaknesses, as we all do, and there will always be a Pokemon capable of defeating me. But I hope to be strong enough to protect Walter.

[notmyrealname]

It's rather adorable. There's nothing wrong with having a boisterous Pokemon.

[It makes things more interesting, Walter! Look at how adorable he is!]

Maybe, but I think you'll be able to give anyone a run for their money, Claudia. You have something worth protecting and that always makes you stronger.
