And here’s YouTube being an idiot.
Why would you need someone 18+ if you’re just trying to get Pokémon...?
I need to go to the dam bathroom.
(Okay, unnecessary but I have backstory for Kik :]
Kik (born Layla) Hydrangea was born in Kalos to an alcoholic mother and an often traveling father. When Kik was around three, his father was lost at sea, and he presumably died, since he didn’t come back. His mom often neglected him. It was mainly due to her that he started to get very bad depression early on in life, but of course she didn’t care. Kik came out as transgender when he was around eleven, after having been in the closet for about a year and a half. She rejected him, and, after a few days, sent him to Galar with little belongings and a one way plane ticket. He was homeless for about a year before trying to go to school, though quickly dropped out due to disorders like anxiety, depression, and ADHD that he didn’t have medicine for. Finally, a Pokemon Breeder named Melissa found Kik near a trash can, very gaunt and hungry, and took him in. She nursed him back to health, and asked him about his situation. Kik explained, and she was shocked, and let him live with her until he felt confident enough to leave. Melissa taught Kik about Pokemon Breeding, and gave him his first Pokemon; a blue Ditto. Kik names it Blobby. Kik still visits her, and says that Melissa had literally saved his life.
That is a lot more than everyone else’s, time to be self conscious wooP)
“Probably v-very good, s-since it’s d-dark type,” Kik replied.
“Th-They are!” Kik said proudly.
“One of th-the str-strongest G-Gym Leaders has o-one! Th-The Ch-Champion has one t-too. Th-That would b-be Collin.” Kik felt proud to know someone as important as the Champion.
“O-Oh!”
Finally! Something I actually know! Kik thought excitedly.
”An Ob-Obstag-goon is th-the evoluti-tion of G-Galarian Linoone. It o-only ev-evolves fr-from the G-Galarian ones, and at n-night, s-so that may b-be why you don’t kn-know.”
Kik shrugged. “I d-don’t live in K-Kalos anym-more, I dunno a-anythin. B-But sh-shinies are r-rare in Galar. M-My f-f-friend Collin has a sh-shiny Obstag-goon.”
Tag yourself, I’m Rowlet.
“N-Nice..” Kik looked at all of her Pokémon for a moment before reaching into his bag and pulling out a Beast Ball. He expected Axl to flinch.
”I’m n-not catchin’ n-no one...,” Kik assured Axl as he clicked the center of the ball. A shiny Ditto popped out.
”Dits!” It cried helpfully.
”Th-This is Bl-Blobby,” Kik smirked.
“N-No. I’m t-taught Pokemon Br-Breeding b-by breeder in G-Galar... I tr-tried tr-training, I didn’t l-like it..”
Kik chuckled a little at hearing the name “Goose”. Sure, he couldn’t judge funny names — his Ditto was named Blobby, for crying out loud — but it was still funny.
”Must b-be n-nice underst-standing all P-Pokemon,” Kik mumbled.
“What’s it s-saying?,” Kik mumbled, eyes widened and slightly frantic. He was still sitting, but looked like he could stand up at any moment.
“Uhh, Axl? Wh-Why is a fuc-f-f-frickin Hydregion b-behind me?” Kik stammered, his hand inching toward his bag.
Kik felt something behind him, and looked back. Seeing Goose, he jumped.
(IDRK what Goose is, but I’m assuming Kik can’t understand him :])
”H-Hey! Wh-What the hell?!” Kik said slightly loudly.
“Axl is a n-nice n-name! I p-picked Kik b-because.. uhh.. I d-don’t know act-actually, I j-just like it.” He smiled goofily, sticking out his left hand for a shake.
”Y-You don’t gotta sh-shake if you d-don’t want to, b-by the way,” Kik whispered.
“Ok-Okay!” Kik tried not to pay much attention to the rest of the group, though he sympathized with them silently.
I hope they don’t hate me... he thought worriedly.
”I’m K-Kik, what’s your n-name?”
“I ass-assumed that’s who th-they were...” Kik gestured to Caroline, Enrique, and Light.
”I c-can be your f-f-friend if you want. Or I c-can go aw-away. Your ch-choice.”
Kik waved at the Gardevoir as it sat down.
”W-Well, if it’s w-what you want, th-then keep d-doing it! If th-they don’t s-s-support you th-through this.. uh.. t-tough time, then th-they aren’t v-very good f-f-friends..”
“You d-don’t have t-to ch-change f-f-for others, you kn-know,” Kik replied simply.
