Summary

It jumps up and down, confirming, and she laughs, something that has always reminded Ash a bit of windchimes. Like the windchimes she used to always have in the garden, which he would close his eyes and listen to for hours sometimes, when he was very small, until she’d find him under the tomato bushes and take him inside and clean off his scrapes that always healed faster than they should.

She doesn’t even need a battle. She just throws a pokeball at it and it jumps up to meet it, and the ball rocks only once before confirming the catch.

Or: Delia and Ash, catching pokemon as spring arrives.

Summary

“Snow!” he yells, his voice so loud it makes some nearby pidgey flutter out of a tree. He lowers his voice and says “Sorry!” to them. Their ruffled feathers give a distinct sense of disapproval. “Ash,” he whisper-yells. “Snow, it’s snow!”

Ash has that big smile that always warms him up whenever he sees it. He doesn’t have a lot of memories from when he was really little, but he’s got this feeling - and maybe it’s more of a dream than a memory, but when he thinks back to the first thing he can remember, a fuzzy image of Ash’s smile comes up. He thinks, based on the stories he’s been told, it’s from the very first time they met. The colors feel a bit like watercolor, like paint that’s been smeared. But when he sees Ash smile like he is right now, that’s what he thinks of.

Or: A ten-year-old Lei sees snow for the first time.

Summary

She runs out of the wings onto the stage, Pancham in tow, curtsying to the audience and judges before starting her performance. The flash of golden-auburn hair catches her eye again, however, and she stares after the previous performer as she walks away from the stage.
It’s not until after the showcase ends that Serena thinks again about her distraction. She’s been more and more distracted lately, and it’s been affecting her performances in the Sinnoh Showcase circuit. Sylveon’s ribbons are curled around her wrists the way they always are.
The girl’s name was Olive, who went before her. Olive, with that hair that seemed to be a different shade every time she moved, shimmering between gold and auburn and orange, with that slight wave and -
Well, that part doesn’t really matter.

Summary

Ash thinks of the little white pill he takes every night. He thinks about how Brock sat him down two years into their journey and showed him a handful of pills. “I take these every night,” he’d said, looking at Ash. “What are they?” he’d responded.
“They’re for a few things. But back when I was your age I used to start getting these episodes. Anxious all the time, you know, taking care of all my siblings. But sad, too. And then I started taking these, and they helped. They still do.”
Ash had nodded carefully. “Wow, Brocko. I had no idea. Thanks for telling me. Don’t get me wrong, but why?”
Brock had smiled at Ash, a little sadly, and he’d felt like his friend could see straight through to his soul. “We’ve been traveling together for a while. And I think I noticed it the very first day we started, you know? There was something about you. And I just think it might help.”

Summary

"You see it, right? Tell me you see it."

"See what."

Dennis nods his head at Javadi. "Victoria. Come on, don't pretend I didn't just interrupt you staring at her. You guys are matching!"

Trinity sighs, deeply. "She's just wearing purple, I don't know what you mean."

He stares at her unimpressed. When did he get so good at that are-you-kidding-me expression? "And the hair, and the lizard are just a coincidence, right?

"Chameleon."

"What?"

"Pascal. He's a chameleon, not a lizard."
who hasn't turned up to a halloween party in an unintentional couple's costume?

Summary

Trinity takes a deep breath, steeling herself. “I was wondering whether I could switch to working night shifts. All the time.”

Abbot raises his eyebrows, not actually looking that surprised. “May I ask what brought this on?”

“Just…” avoiding my ex-not-even-girlfriend? Probably not the best thing to say. “Just looking for a new experience. I feel like I could learn a lot from working nights.”

He stares at her for a moment. It’s a little unnerving, and Trinity feels her back straighten instinctively. Then he smiles, clapping his hands together.

“About time.”

Summary

“Everyone ready?” Trinity turned over her shoulder to look at the backseat where Samira, Mel, and Victoria were sitting shoulder to shoulder. They all looked back at her with varying degrees of nervousness.

Going to Donnie’s halloween party as a group had been Trinity’s idea. When he’d told her about the party, she’d immediately known that she had to get her friends to do a group costume. And maybe friends was pushing it, but they’d all been working together for two months now and Trinity had made it her mission to get them to socialize more. It still surprised her that they all went along with her, though. Making friends hadn’t always been her strong suit, she’d always been more likely to annoy someone than to convince them to hang out with her.

When no one objected or suddenly realized they’d forgotten something upstairs, Trinity turned to Dennis, who was in the driver’s seat, “Alright, down the yellow brick road.”
The gang goes to a halloween party!
