Sixth Sacrament - Assumption
[ The video comes on, showing a beautiful, vast meadow as night falls. The Sun's already set, the sky starting to darken and the stars slowly emerging from behind the daytime veil of blue. And in the field, there's a bright, white fire, seemingly growing bigger in an oddly self contained way. Walter stood off to the side, watching the fire with clear awe written on his face.
The fire grew and began to fade, revealing that in it's centre was a Marowak. The Marowak stood tall, thin with dark scales. It's eyes were pure silver, glowing in the half-dark. And on it's foreheard...the Halo of the Sun was inscribed, more complete than the simple pattern Walter had painted on his Cubone. Assumption looked over himself, before turning his gaze up to Walter.]
And he began to laugh. A rich, deep laugh that he hadn't used since coming to the Pokeworld. The video cuts out with Darkness leaving the Gear on the floor, flying over to land on Walter's shoulder and caw joyously. ]

Assumption...
[ The name held a lot of barely contained emotion, awe, pride and joy painted on Walter's face. Assumption recognised it and grinned, running forward to embrace his trainer. Walter crouched down and picked him up, spinning him around in a circle (revealing the patterns of bones on Assumption's back) and holding him to his chest.

Mm...I didn't think Gracie would be like she was, either. But, she's perfect for me, too. I guess the Pokemon we get are the most special ever.

I never thought I could be so happy. [ He admitted quietly, cuddling Assumption. Darkness gave a caw and earned a pet on the chest. They both made him happy. ]

[Asriel can't help his smiling. This is...this is so wonderful! It's so, so wonderful, he doesn't know how else to think of it.]
I'm glad - I'm glad you're so happy, Mister Walter. Happiness is so important...it's just as important as love is!
[Video]
...I'd never been loved back home. My parents left when I was born, and I was raised by an orphanage. [ There it is. It didn't explain everything, it didn't go into the horrors of what that orphanage was like; but it was an explanation for why he didn't understand his Pokemon's affections. He looked at Assumption again and, without realising it, gave his Pokemon a deeply fond look - many would call it a loving look. ]
I don't know how that if that's what I'm feeling now. But looking at him...it makes me feel warm and happy. Is that love? All of my Pokemon are good. So good. [ He curls around Assumption in a hug, which the Marowak returned with a wagging tail. ]
[Video]
...Love's kinda hard to really describe, but...warm and happy's gotta be a good start, if you're not used to it.
[Video]
[ He spoke very very softly, under his breath. ] I hope I get used to it... I like this feeling.
