"This is Newt. Leave a message and I'll call back?"

[ It wasn't that long ago that Credence had been in Cherrygrove. At least it was somewhere he recognized. He couldn't afford to be nervous. He needed to keep an air of at least semi-confidence which should be easier once he found Newt.

He hoped.

Tina was sitting proudly next to him while Rocky, his weakly named Rockruff was sniffing around the Pokemon Center lobby. It only took a few moments before he started trying to drag away someone's bag because it was filled with Poffins and Credence was having to scold him and apologize to the trainer that was nearly robbed accidentally. ]


Ms. Newt will hardly trust me if you're making trouble, Rocky. You're supposed to be keeping an eye out. Where is Modesty..?

[ Tina looked a little sheepish at that, ears lowering. She hadn't noticed Modesty wander off.

The Lillipup had left the Pokemon center to actually go searching for Newt. She was certain she would be able to find her in short order and bring her back to Credence. ]

[ Ah! The Lillipup runs over, barking. She sits down next to Ripley, looking up Newt then back to the Growlithe. Remember her?! Of course! She barks lightly again, then prances in a circle before turning and running off to lead Credence over.

Credence follows Modesty over but doesn't try to invade Newt's space uninvited. ]


Ms. Newt..! I'm glad you made it. Hello..

[ He offers his hand out to her, trying to keep that confidence going. ]

May I sit with you?

Ah, I did. I wouldn't break a promise.

[ He sits down across from her, smiling. Tina jumps up next to him and puts her paws on the table so she can see Newt too.

Rocky takes to sniffing Ripley, nosing all into her fur while Modesty tries to push him off. ]


You're being rude, Rocky!

Are you studying the creatures here? There's so many, I can barely wrap my head around it myself.

[ Rocky borfs and shoves his nose into Ripley's tail now before Modesty gives him a firmer shove. It turns into a puppy tussle, the two rolling around on the floor in a sudden play match.

Credence leans to look over the paper, nodding with proud approval. ]


All of them? There's Johto, which is.. here. It's here, right?

[ Tina nods her head. ]

And then there's Kanto, which is harder. That's across the ferry... So you would go back towards New Bark I think.. There's a lot of forests and caves on the journey too.

[ He was giving her information but also seeing how she reacts to it. Would it frighten her, the idea of traveling alone in these strange places? ]

[ Credence meets her eyes. This little girl held more strength than he could hope to achieve in his entire life. It was clear things happened to her in the past and it would take her a long time to come to accept this place as safe. ]

Your team will become very strong. While I want to tell you that you don't need proof of it I understand the desire. To.. see that you've achieved the strength you set out for.

[ He hesitates before offering a tidbit he'd learned so far. ]

The.. the Normal type ones. They can learn a lot of moves, different types. They're good for filling in holes on the team... You know, I came out here to offer to take you back to the cottage with me, to keep you safe but.. I think what you're doing is very important for you.

[ Credence nods, knowing that he should be learning things like that too. It would help around the cottage. He was just a slow learner. He always had been. Gullible and stupid was Credence. ]

I haven't heard of anything really that says it isn't safe but just because people tell you those things doesn't mean anything really...

[ He could understand that. He agreed with her. He found himself panicked and afraid of a lot of things here but nothing had hurt him. Maybe when she was an adult she would be facing things here head on. Credence was certain of it. ]

I do... My ma and two sisters.

[ Credence wouldn't back out. She needed someone to talk to. He laces his fingers together, resting them on the table as he listens to her, eyes for once meeting someone else's. If she could be brave and tell the story he could be brave and listen. ]

The eggs you mentioned before. The ones.. that had the monsters in them?

[ Tina's ears went down because she only knew eggs to have Pokemon. This was a sad story, Credence... ]

[ Credence swallows. He watches her as she tells the store then.. slides a hand across the table to offer to her, if she needed something to hold. Or simply to just see that he was still there. He wasn't going to leave so easily.

He'd never heard of such a thing but he knew that magical creatures could exist in the world. Hadn't Mr. Graves told him enough times about the strange creature he was looking for? ]


It killed your family.

[ Tina presses her face against Credence's side. It was strange that she was seeking comfort from Credence. But how often had the young man met orphans with terrible stories? Not quite chest bursting aliens but... ]

[ Credence gives her hand a small squeeze. He couldn't imagine what she was describing. His head just couldn't wrap entirely around it. Mouths in mouths and long tails. It sounded truly like a monster beyond his scope or frame of reference.

And they seemed intelligent as well. To know to drag people away to create more of themselves... ]


He wanted to protect you and your mother. And your mother didn't want either of you to worry. I .. .. I won't tell you I understand though. I can't. It's not something... that I can understand, that hurt.

[ He holds her hand in both of his, gently rubbing the back of it as he looks at her earnestly. ]

You survived. And it will be hard. I can't promise you anything except that I will try my best to help you where I can.

[ This poor child had been through so much already in her life. This world would be a relief to her once she adjusted. She would undoubtably take a simple place like this by storm.]

You were blessed to have Ripley. I can only imagine how disappointing I must be in comparison but I will do my best to take care of you however I can in her stead.

However.. much you need or want.

[ It was nice to hear that Newt wanted to be friends. And the fact that she seemed to be unaware of what Credence saw as very obvious defects of character. Children always were good at seeing the more positive aspects of Credence despite everything. Though he hardly believed in them himself. ]

Then I will do my best to never make a promise I can't keep so I don't disappoint you.

[ He smiles, giving her hand another squeeze. ]

Then, I will trust in you to handle what you're able and be willing to ask for help from your friend from when things become difficult. Can we promise that of each other?

[ He smiles again and shakes the hand he was already holding.]

It's a deal. And I'll put the coordinates into your gear so you can find the cottage any time.

[ Credence cautiously takes her gear for a moment to program in the coordinates, setting it back once he was finished on the screen she was working on. ]

It doesn't seem too bad of a place. You'll figure it out faster than I did, I'm still confused on a lot of things. But I live with someone who understands everything very well, his name is Newt too actually... I can ask him for you when you have questions..?
