Pallet Town
One year later...
Zane was on the roof of Oak's lab in a labcoat. The sun was going down as he looked over the town known for its peaceful nature and clean air.
Just recently, a boy named Red had left with the professor's Bulbasaur. Zane didnt know why, but the professor had acted differently with Red than he had with Zane, and the confusion of his feelings on the matter had pushed him to seek solitude on the roof.
[Zane?] Arina sent, announcing her presence behind him. The female pokemon had Evolved into a Kirlia recently, and was still finding it hard to balance. [Are you... alright?] her tone was a tad strange, almost hesitant.
Zane went to nod, but then shrugged.
"I dont know Ari. I've only really known the professor as far as humans go, and he's always so... cold to me."
[Oh.... ] she was quiet and sat down beside him. [We could go back to Johto... I mean, if you wanted. Why do we have to stay with him?]
"I just... I dont remember anything about my parents, and I often wonder if they treated me the same as Oak does. Or if he'd have treated me different under other circumstances...." Zane stared at the sun dropping below the trees and rubbed his gloved hand on his shoulder. "I guess... Im just lonely."
The Kirlia set her head on his shoulder. [You'll always have me...] she said softly and turned a little red. She seemed to have realized that she'd broadcasted that, and stammered out. [ A-and the rest of us, I mean Zee and Yami too.]
Somehow, that made him turn a little red too, but it made him feel better.
He gave her a little hug. "Thanks Ari."
