Sixth Sacrament - Assumption

[11121_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.]

 

 

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. 

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. ]

...cake? [ That's so weird! He actually had to pause and think. ]

I don't think I've had cake before. [ He'd had whoopie pie, snickerdoodles, donuts and sometimes a muffin back when he was alive. And in this world he had tried cinnamon rolls and mochi ice cream. Cake was big and meant to be shared at parties, and Walter was only one man who couldn't justify buying a cake just for himself. ]

_{[Ralph's whole face blanches in horror.]}

Pal, you have got to fix that right away! If it weren't for cake, I wouldn't even be here!

_{[It's...true more or less. If Gene hadn't been such a broken joystick about the cake...wait. Ooooh no, he was NOT going to thank Gene for all the wonderful new friends he made! CHANGING TRAINS OF THOUGHT.]}

Then again...only if you want to. I mean, I'd definitely recommend it, strawberry especially, but the cake's up to you.

You need lot of people for cake. [ He doesn't think Pokemon are allowed cake. But given what's happened, he's intending to give them some poffins as a treat. ]

I did travel recently...I saw so many things. [ He drifts off a bit but there's a vague smile. He had seen some nice things on his travels, had ended up with several new Pokemon. He had seen some not so nice things either, like all the bugs in the forests and some places took him back to being a young boy, trying to find Ashfield Heights. But for the most part...it had been nice. ] I'd never really done that before. Not like this.

Psssffft! Nah you don't!

_{[RALPH, HE's JUST ONE MAN.]}

But hey, that's great! Have you checked out a cave yet? They're pretty neat.

I have. I didn't like it.

[ So. Many. Bats. Granted he had Chaos electrocute every unfortunate one to so much as draw attention to itself in his presence but he hated their mere existence. He hadn't slept well, hearing their squeaking and the dreadful fluttering of their wings. ]

The forest was better. Ilex. There were lots of little wooden structures in it, like houses. [ The shrines he means. ]
