tell her not to get obsessed [O]

[EDWINA WILSON]

second-guessing everything you said and done

she had been coming to this spot for a few days now. she made it seem like a daily picnic routine, just in case a curious stranger were to spot her. she didn't want them judging her hesitation, thinking she was a coward. well, she kinda was though. under a shady tree a few yards away from the bridge's entrance, eddie let out a audible sigh. would she do it today? probably not, but the temptation was growing stronger lately. after all, she was supposed to go on her pokemon journey. a new adventure full of excitement, but with this darkness there wasn't anywhere to go!

the brunette had been contemplating traveling to the other island, but she just couldn't get herself to do it. her legs were stubborn, they wouldn't budge, and the sense of danger sent goosebumps down her arms. other trainers had done it plenty of times, she shouldn't be this worried. but as she looked out past the ocean, to the stormy dark side that was the isle of hephaestus eddie couldn't help but shudder.

her flabebe had been noticing these wandering glances to the other side. the small fairy type sat on top of a pink pokepuff, holding its flower by it's side. eddie herself had a sandwich and a book opened in front of her, not like she was paying attention to either. Flabebe floated with it's flower over to her book, and circled a passage with the stem;

“bran thought about it. 'can a man still be brave if he's afraid?'  'that is the only time a man can be brave,' his father told him.” 

eddie noticed and blushed a little bit. "b-but!" trainer and pokemon made eyecontact "i don't think…i just don't think i can, ok?"

Zephyr awoke to the sound of Thor squealing right before he was given the gift of a Pikachu butt in his face. "Thor, how many times do I have to tell you that snow is not the end of the world?" he grumbled as he gently pushed the Electric-type down onto his lap, blue eyes glaring past the shock of ruffled blond hair that cascaded around his face. "And even if it was the end of the world, jumping on top of me would not solve anything." When he saw the way that the Pokemon's ears started wilting, however, he ruffled them. "I'm not mad, Thor," he murmured, "just a little grumpy from you interrupting my dream is all." He then nudged the Electric-type with his arm. "Why don't you go make some coffee while I take a shower?" "Pii!" Enthusiastic about his new task, Thor shot off into the kitchen, not noticing the way that Zephyr's face fell as soon as he was gone. The electric mouse didn't deserve this. Thor was energetic, spunky, and he didn't deserve to be cooped up inside. At least when the blond had been on the force the Pikachu could get rid of all that energy, but now that they were on their own, there wasn't a whole lot for either of them to do. He sighed as he wiped a streak of the mirror clean with the side of one hand, meeting his own blue eyes for a long moment before he shook himself out of it and went to get his day started. When he strode out of the bedroom, it was to the sight of Thor sitting on the table, a mug clutched in his paws that he was sipping from while a styrofoam cup sat on the table next to the coffee maker. "You know you're not supposed to have coffee, Thor," he scolded, taking the ceramic from his Pokemon despite the whine of protest and dumping the contents down the drain before setting it in the sink. "It makes you shock more often, and while I'm immune to that, not everyone else is." He then picked up the Electric-type with one arm, his coffee with the other hand, and then left the apartment, relying on Thor to lock the door the way that the electric mouse used to back when they were part of the police force. The walk out to Steelgate Bridge was cool and crisp, but he was more than used to it, kept warm enough by his parka and his jeans. Seeing someone else near the bridge, however, kick-started his instincts as a police officer, and he jogged over to the girl and the Flabebe, an easy grin on his face. "Is everything all right here?" he asked. "You seem a little upset." Of course, the blond couldn't see what Thor was doing on his shoulder, and the Pikachu was milking things for all they were worth. He had puffed himself up and was doing a rather unflattering impression of Zephyr on his shoulder, pretending to be some gruff old cop. The Electric-type meant well, of course, but that didn't mean he wasn't going to get revenge for losing his coffee. Zephyr wasn't the only one who liked a cup in the morning before the day got started!

Notes:

I will never be sorry for Thor. Ever. Coffee-loving Pikachu for the rest of forever.

second-guessing everything you said and done

her pokemon was disappointed in her, she could see it in her little face. "flaa…" The fairy type floated away from the book up to sit on her trainer's knee, giving eddie a pat of encouragement. the brunette scooped up arrietty in her hands, "i know, i'm sorry, i don't think we're ready."

her pokemon couldn't disagree more, however, as it flexed it's little arms trying to show some muscle. eddie couldn't help but sigh, again, she had so many doubts. both of her pokemon were still not very strong, and who knows what could be on that other island! pokemon hoards, third evolutions, infected by the darkness...

"is everything all right here?"  she jumped, not noticing the blonde jogging towards her. "e-eh?! o-oh.." she blushed, pushing up her glasses, startled. it was an older guy, he had the air of an authority figure however. eddie tried to avoid eye contact, fidgiting and glancing around, why did he have to notice her?! gosh what was she even supposed to say? "no, you're mistaken, i-i'm fine…"

but as she looked up at him, she noticed his pokemon. the pikachu was making fun of it's trainer, and the small girl couldn't help but give a small smile. "how charming…"

Zephyr could tell that he had startled her, even if it wasn't his intention. Figuring that it was probably part of the remainder of his 'authority set' from his policing days, he consciously moved to relax his posture, make himself less threatening to her. After all, he wasn't looking to scare anyone, least of all the girl and Fairy-type before him. He just wanted to make sure that they weren't in trouble - and no, it wasn't out of some hero complex either, he used to be a cop, and old habits just died hard. "Oh, sorry," he apologized with a chuckle. "You just seemed upset, and I am..." he trailed off, a flash of heat surging through his chest and face as he corrected himself "... was a cop, and well... let's just say that old habits die hard and leave it at that, okay?" When he saw the girl's eyes trailing up over to his shoulder, somehow he just knew that Thor was up to something. He whipped his head around and caught a flash of yellow fur, but he only saw the Pikachu perched up on his shoulder with an innocent look on his face. "Yeah, I'm not buying it," the blond muttered, rolling his blue eyes. "Behave, would you? I'd rather not have you make a fool of me today." The Pikachu stuck his tongue out, but the Trainer didn't stoop to that level, turning back to the other two. "Your Flabebe is really pretty," he complemented with a chuckle. "Her flower seems quite bright and she seems happy." Shaking himself, he offered his hand to her. "And where are my manners? I'm Zephyr, and this little troublemaker is Thor." He was almost glad that his mother wasn't around to see him right about now, she would have chased him around for forgetting to introduce himself until now. It wasn’t as if he had meant to do so either, he’d just forgotten in the light of first being concerned that something was happening and then trying to figure out what his Electric-type was up to, well aware that Thor was moody after the blond had taken away the coffee mug in the mornings. But by this point, he was pretty sure that the Pikachu, believe it or not, was beginning to get addicted to the caffeine, and he’d rather not have to deal with another scolding from the Pokemon Center that he shouldn’t let his Pokemon have caffeine. He knew it was bad, he just usually wasn’t able to get the mug out of the electric mouse’s paws before he’d gotten a few sips out of it. Maybe the girl would know some tips to convince Thor to lay off the coffee? It was worth a shot at any rate, after he got her name, that is.

Notes:

What is consistency, can you eat it?
