Several minutes passed. Michael still sat with his back to the barrels, and Charmander was growing ever more curious. What was he doing over there? Soon enough curiosity won over the young child’s mind, and he snuck a second peak. He was still there and still doing nothing… Was he waiting to ambush him? Would he leap at him the moment he tried to leave? The little charmander didn’t quite know why, but he doubted it… By the look on his face the man didn’t seem like much of a pokénapper. Maybe he should ask…
“…Mister? What’re you doing there?”
Michael jumped at the sudden voice, having just nearly fallen asleep. “Oh, hey there little guy.” Michael said in a friendly tone, pleasantly surprised to see his plan actually worked. He was almost certain it wouldn’t, or would at least take a long time before the little pokémon showed himself. “I wanted to talk to you actually… Could you tell me what’s wrong?”
Charmander nervously pulled back more into the cover of the barrels, only his eyes peeking out from the side. He didn’t want to talk about what was wrong… Everything was wrong. He was in a new and unfamiliar place, surrounded by strangers and without his parents to protect him… “I, um…” He started nervously, looking away. “I… I don’t know where my mommy and daddy are… and… and I’m scared…” He sniffled, tears welling up in his eyes.
“Hey now, don’t cry….” Michael said, moving to comfort the crying pokémon, but Charmander only pulled farther back behind the barrels, sniffling and whimpering.
“I don’t want to hurt you.” Michael attempted to reassure the pokémon, although he didn’t seem convinced. “I only want to help.” He then continued. The crying died down to a small whimper, and Charmander again peaked over from the side of the barrels.
“Y- you mean it?” He said between sobs. Michael nodded.
“Just come with me and I’ll help you find your parents. I promise you that.” Charmander tentatively walked out from the protection of his barrels, and after a moment held out his arms to be held. Michael obliged, picking up the small pokémon and finally standing back up. “Now, let’s get going shall we?” Michael said, and Charmander cracked a small smile.
And so the two of them set out, their journey to find little Charmander’s parents just beginning.
