"If you just want 'me and you' time, that's fine by me, you know. I
spend enough time with Sparky, but you were always a student, even
if your father was a teacher for a while. That's the whole reason I
dug up that map, you know?" Typhoon assured him. He knew Winter
wanted to spend time with Emerald, but this was Emerald's vacation
too, so it was up to him, really. He understood if Emerald wanted
to hang out with his friend, or spend more time with him. He didn't
mind either way.
“Typhoon...” Emerald paused for a moment and decided to confide in
him his worries. About Winter becoming a celebrity amd how he could
probably never approach him again
Typhoon was, understandably, a bit taken aback by the sudden
explosion of worry. He himself couldn't quite look at Winter, his
old student, and think of him as some untouchable celebrity...but
he supposed it was quite possible, with him training under the
'Heroes of Shimo', as they were now called. He chose his words
carefully, so he took a moment to respond. "...Winter's your
friend, he always was, and always will be. I'm sure
being...famous," the idea was still hard for him to fathom, so the
word felt strange on his tongue "won't change that. And, if it
does, was he really your friend anyway?" He glanced at the Arctic
fox pokemon, who was chatting with his masters about something
quietly. It was all he could offer. He didn't know how much it
would help, however
“I know...but he’ll eventually...y’know, had many followers.”
Emerald chuckled nervously as he leaned his head on him. He had
also confided worry over Typhoon himself, just worried about being
alone...
"I'll still be here for you...as will Fortem, and Hiro, and your
father...and everyone else in your life. Winter loves you, I know
he does, he won't ditch you, and I...well I vowed to your father I
would always be there for you, I plan to keep my promise." Reaching
out, the Mewtwo gently pulled Emerald closer to him, in what he
hoped was a comforting gesture.
“...I trust you...” Emerald murmured as he cuddled in close to him.
After a few moments, he did his best at a sunny smile, as well as
start forming an aura bubble between his paws
Emerald was definitely making it larger...he eyed Sparky waking up
and stopped expanding it, holding the orb within his paws as he
looked at the young Keldeo
Sparky seemed rather startled to see Emerald there, but simply
stood up, trotting out of the way, bell jingling as he did so. "I'm
gonna go for a walk.." which was his code for 'Sorry to bother
you!' He then left the cave.
“...I hope I didnMt scare him off...maybe we could be closer as
siblings one day...” Emerald looked extremely guilty at the way
Sparky reacted to him being there
"I hope it's just him being jumpy, but I'll have to talk to him
later..." His blue eyes showed slight concern at his son's
departure, but at the same time, it was Sparky, and he knew about
Typhoons vacation to visit Emerald...he didn't want the young one
to feel left out, however
“You definitely should get more time with him...” Emerald murmured
as he continued growing the bubble. “But um...do you want to test
the squishiness of this bubble? Maybe the squeakiness? It makes a
good sit...” Emerald said quietly
Emerald smiled upon hearing it... it was a nice sound to listen to,
and often made the other smile or laugh. That’s why he enjoyed
making them most of the time
Typhoon lifted himself off the ground using his levitation, before
dropping himself on top of the bubble, 'testing the squishiness' as
Emerald had put it
It felt very comfortable, as Typhoon could really sink into the orb
of air. It was soft and comfortable, squeaking loudly when Typhoon
dropped onto it. It almost wrapped around him too, like some sort
of weird blanket
