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. ]

The battle was straight-forward. Claire used a Gyarados, a Seadra and a Dragonite. Chaos dealt with the Gyarados. The rest Claudia faced alone. It is her strength that defeated them.

Seems like she did an awesome job then. You do anything to celebrate?

[11121_assumption]

I came home and my Pokemon had eggs.

[ Reed looks very pleased with himself, despite Walter's not-so-pleased expression. ]

[keep_surviving]

[Chuckles.]

I guess that means they celebrated then.

[ Walter just did not look impressed. But Reed clearly didn't give a damn, leaning down and wrapping his wings around Walter - before trying to perch on his shoulders. ]

Reed, you are too big-

[Diana starts giggling at the sight.]

Aw, he just wants to be close to you, Walt.

[11121_assumption]

He is-

[ Walter tenses as his large bird stood on his shoulders, clearly pleased with this arrangement. Claudia clearly said something to him, which he responded to in a haughty way. ]

He weighs over eighty pounds.

And here I thought you had total control. [She shakes her head, still amused.] Why don't you get him to sit beside you?

[She gives him an impressed look.] Also, damn, how strong are you?

[11121_assumption]

[ You were just encouraging him-! ]

Reed. Off. [ Thankfully Reed can hear his tone and steps off him...though his pout is visible in his body language. He still drapes himself over his back. ]

[keep_surviving]

[Mm, that tone. Diana just smiles.]

Perfect control. No wonder you got that badge.

[11121_assumption]

Most of my Pokemon obey. There are some that do not always listen.

[ But he knows who they are and does not try to rely on them too greatly. ]

[keep_surviving]

Well, so long as it's most I'd say you're winning.
