Oh…

[ᅠ ᅠᅠ ᅠᅠ ᅠ ᅠᅠᅠ𝑨𝒛𝒆́𝒍𝒊𝒆ᅠ ᅠᅠ ☣︎ @RUSTYCADET]

What’s croissant curry…

[ᅠ ᅠᅠ ᅠᅠ ᅠ ᅠᅠᅠ𝑨𝒛𝒆́𝒍𝒊𝒆ᅠ ᅠᅠ ☣︎ @RUSTYCADET]

I have another Dad…

[ᅠ ᅠᅠ ᅠᅠ ᅠ ᅠᅠᅠ𝑨𝒛𝒆́𝒍𝒊𝒆ᅠ ᅠᅠ ☣︎ @RUSTYCADET]

…

( She sighs. )

Thanks… I guess… I’ll manage…

[ᴛʜᴇ ᴍᴏᴏɴ. @LUN4RH3X]

[if only she knew- they huff. They put their hands over hers. Staying by her side like this... Maybe that's not a bad idea.]

[ᅠ ᅠᅠ ᅠᅠ ᅠ ᅠᅠᅠ𝑨𝒛𝒆́𝒍𝒊𝒆ᅠ ᅠᅠ ☣︎ @RUSTYCADET]

…It’s complicated for a pokémon like you to understand.

[ᴛʜᴇ ᴍᴏᴏɴ. @LUN4RH3X]

[they shake their head, squeaking out a protest.]

[ᅠ ᅠᅠ ᅠᅠ ᅠ ᅠᅠᅠ𝑨𝒛𝒆́𝒍𝒊𝒆ᅠ ᅠᅠ ☣︎ @RUSTYCADET]

I’m… fine. I’m fine.

( Hugs her knees to her chest. )

I’m better off alone…

[ᴛʜᴇ ᴍᴏᴏɴ. @LUN4RH3X]

[sad squeak. They pat her leg again. They inch closer.]

[ᅠ ᅠᅠ ᅠᅠ ᅠ ᅠᅠᅠ𝑨𝒛𝒆́𝒍𝒊𝒆ᅠ ᅠᅠ ☣︎ @RUSTYCADET]

…No, I’m not lost. I… just don’t have a home.

[ᴛʜᴇ ᴍᴏᴏɴ. @LUN4RH3X]

[they shake their head. They point to her, tilting their head, as if to return the question.]

[ᅠ ᅠᅠ ᅠᅠ ᅠ ᅠᅠᅠ𝑨𝒛𝒆́𝒍𝒊𝒆ᅠ ᅠᅠ ☣︎ @RUSTYCADET]

Uh… um… are you… lost…?

[ᴛʜᴇ ᴍᴏᴏɴ. @LUN4RH3X]

Mao.

[They scoot closer. They pat her lap.]

[ᅠ ᅠᅠ ᅠᅠ ᅠ ᅠᅠᅠ𝑨𝒛𝒆́𝒍𝒊𝒆ᅠ ᅠᅠ ☣︎ @RUSTYCADET]

…??

( Sits up, mimicking their head tilt. )

[ᴛʜᴇ ᴍᴏᴏɴ. @LUN4RH3X]

Miau... [They sit down, head tilting to the side.]

[ᅠ ᅠᅠ ᅠᅠ ᅠ ᅠᅠᅠ𝑨𝒛𝒆́𝒍𝒊𝒆ᅠ ᅠᅠ ☣︎ @RUSTYCADET]

Mm… Mmh?

( Peeks an eye open. )

[ᴛʜᴇ ᴍᴏᴏɴ. @LUN4RH3X]

[oh... Poor girl... At least she's not hurt, though. They waddle over, and gently paw at her face.]

[ᅠ ᅠᅠ ᅠᅠ ᅠ ᅠᅠᅠ𝑨𝒛𝒆́𝒍𝒊𝒆ᅠ ᅠᅠ ☣︎ @RUSTYCADET]

( Curled up. On the grass. Asleep. )

[ᴛʜᴇ ᴍᴏᴏɴ. @LUN4RH3X]

Trying to find @RUSTYCADET ... Shit...

[ᅠ ᅠᅠ ᅠᅠ ᅠ ᅠᅠᅠ𝑨𝒛𝒆́𝒍𝒊𝒆ᅠ ᅠᅠ ☣︎ @RUSTYCADET]

Grandpa leads Team Rocket. Doubt they’d do anything to me anyway.

[ᴛʜᴇ ᴍᴏᴏɴ. @LUN4RH3X]

Azélie...

[They sigh.]

You gotta come back with me, at least. It's dangerous out here right now.

[ᅠ ᅠᅠ ᅠᅠ ᅠ ᅠᅠᅠ𝑨𝒛𝒆́𝒍𝒊𝒆ᅠ ᅠᅠ ☣︎ @RUSTYCADET]

…

Just leave me alone…

[ᴛʜᴇ ᴍᴏᴏɴ. @LUN4RH3X]

No, no you're not.

I think he's dealing with something with his partner, and he needed someone to watch you while he handles it.

He'll be back, I promise.

[ᅠ ᅠᅠ ᅠᅠ ᅠ ᅠᅠᅠ𝑨𝒛𝒆́𝒍𝒊𝒆ᅠ ᅠᅠ ☣︎ @RUSTYCADET]

So I really am just a problem…

[ᴛʜᴇ ᴍᴏᴏɴ. @LUN4RH3X]

No, no. Trust me, you're not.

I'm sorry he didn't. He might have been in a rush.

[ᅠ ᅠᅠ ᅠᅠ ᅠ ᅠᅠᅠ𝑨𝒛𝒆́𝒍𝒊𝒆ᅠ ᅠᅠ ☣︎ @RUSTYCADET]

He couldn’t of told me himself?! Whatever, maybe I am better off on the streets.

[ᴛʜᴇ ᴍᴏᴏɴ. @LUN4RH3X]

Honey- [they furrow their brows sadly.] Lysandre is gonna come back, I promise!

[ᅠ ᅠᅠ ᅠᅠ ᅠ ᅠᅠᅠ𝑨𝒛𝒆́𝒍𝒊𝒆ᅠ ᅠᅠ ☣︎ @RUSTYCADET]

I told you to leave me alone! 💢

[ᴛʜᴇ ᴍᴏᴏɴ. @LUN4RH3X]

@RUSTYCADET

"Azélie! Where are you love?? Please, it's dangerous on your own out here right now-"

[ᅠ ᅠᅠ ᅠᅠ ᅠ ᅠᅠᅠ𝑨𝒛𝒆́𝒍𝒊𝒆ᅠ ᅠᅠ ☣︎ @RUSTYCADET]

@FLAREDLEADER Then he had me who ruined his life.

( Shrug. Follows him inside… )

[ᅠ ᅠᅠ ᅠᅠ ᅠ ᅠᅠᅠ𝑨𝒛𝒆́𝒍𝒊𝒆ᅠ ᅠᅠ ☣︎ @RUSTYCADET]

You… for now… don’t even know where my other Dad is…

[‎ ‎ ‎ ‎ ‎ ‎ ‎ ‎ ‎ .ೃ࿐𝑫𝑰𝑨𝑴𝑶𝑵𝑫 ‎ ‎𝑬𝒀𝑬𝑺ˎˊ- @FLAREDLEADER]

Well , don't worry . I won't treat you like that .. now , do you wish to stay with me , or your other father .ᐣ I'll help you decorate your room the way you want it either or , it makes no difference to me .

[ᅠ ᅠᅠ ᅠᅠ ᅠ ᅠᅠᅠ𝑨𝒛𝒆́𝒍𝒊𝒆ᅠ ᅠᅠ ☣︎ @RUSTYCADET]

@FLAREDLEADER Well… he’s gotten more… greedy? The more money he has I guess…

[ᅠ ᅠᅠ ᅠᅠ ᅠ ᅠᅠᅠ𝑨𝒛𝒆́𝒍𝒊𝒆ᅠ ᅠᅠ ☣︎ @RUSTYCADET]

@FLAREDLEADER His business happened… that’s all he cares about now… he never leaves his office.

[ᅠ ᅠᅠ ᅠᅠ ᅠ ᅠᅠᅠ𝑨𝒛𝒆́𝒍𝒊𝒆ᅠ ᅠᅠ ☣︎ @RUSTYCADET]

@FLAREDLEADER Right… sure… I doubt that…
