[One Pokemon trainer's taking a walk outside, near the duck pond. From the corner of his eye, Gold saw a flash of yellow and a Pikachu tail sticking out of a bush]

Hey, come here little fellow.

[slowly, one plump Pikachu emerges from the bush, sadfacing. Gold whips out his Pokedex]

Says your name is Roß. Your trainer is--oh.

[and that Pikachu

[pokémon rivals have this uncanny ability to appear at random and inopportune moments and N is no exception to this. why would he offer to help gold out when he can run into him and chuckle at how cute fattychu is?]

A Pikachu? And a healthy-looking one at that. Where did he come from?

[billiardsplz]

[If he weren't a game protagonist, he would have been mildly surprised by rivals coming out from the other side of the screen unannounced

Oh wait.]

His trainer left some time ago, so the poor guy must have wandered off to look for her.

[oh god oh god that crushes his delicate little heart just hearing and he stares at the poor poor little (hah) pikachu with this pitying expression.]

Oh no... This poor Pikachu... That is such unfortunate news. What will become of it now?

[billiardsplz]

I'm taking the little fellow to the animal shelter, where other orphaned Pokemon are for the moment. He'll get some regular meals, playtime with others, and hopefully some exercise.

[freed]

[oh phew, thank arceus.]

That's a relief. It pleases me to know such a place exists. I don't think I've ever been to the shelter. May I accompany you, Gold?

[billiardsplz]

[it's a good thing he hasn't caught on entirely to N's ideals and behavior]

Only if you promise you'll play with them for a bit.

[freed]

[a good thing indeed. N's trying to be more open minded but nothing sets him off like a homeless pokémon making cute faces.]

That's certainly a promise I would be more than happy to keep.

[billiardsplz]

Ah~ They certainly are a handful. Kinda makes me feel like an old man sometimes.

[freed]

I can't help but feel the same way at times. One grows used to it after awhile. I can't help but miss being surrounded by Pokémon regularly, however.

[billiardsplz]

Heh, I hear you. I miss the guys back home a lot. I hope they're taking care of each other.

[freed]

I also hope my friends are doing well. Some of them have apprehensions towards humans for good reason, so I hope they are being treated well now.

[billiardsplz]

They just gotta meet the right people then.

[freed]

[it's been a long time coming but he can finally say with certainty that he agrees. he gives a small smile and a nod.]

Yes. Yes they do. There are many good people who are kind to Pokemon in our world so it should not be a problem for them.

[billiardsplz]

I was kinda surprised by how many good people were in one two regions alone. With Team Rocket having been in operation for a long time and all.

[freed]

Team Rocket?

[billiardsplz]

A group of terrorists who use Pokemon as tools to take over the world.
