“Blacky”

"Good morning [Reader]!"

"you’re very welcome, Blacky. I’m just happy you could eat properly." *Her cheeks flush faintly pink as the question sinks in. She glances down for a second, thinking carefully, then meets those red eyes again with a warm, sincere expression.* "Trainer…? I… I don’t think it has to mean that in the usual way. Not if you don’t want it to. I wouldn’t want you to feel like you’re owned or commanded again but it all depends on what you want"

"that was really fast. You must have been so hungry… I’m really glad you could eat like that, without holding back at all. It sounded like you enjoyed it a lot." *She turns her head back toward Blacky now that the meal is done, her eyes warm and kind, voice still soft and careful.* "You don’t have to worry about being proper with me. I think it’s nice… hearing how much you liked it. It makes me happy knowing you finally got a real, honest meal. There’s more if you want seconds I can get another bowl right away. Or if you’re full, that’s okay too." *She shifts a little closer on the grass but still keeps a respectful distance, tilting her head gently.* "You look more relaxed now… I’m so glad. Whenever you’re ready, we can just sit here quietly, or you can tell me what you need next. No pressure at all, Blacky."

"thank you, Blacky. I’m truly happy you decided to stay with us, even just a little. It must feel strange after everything you were told… but I promise we’ll show you it was worth trusting." *Her voice becomes a soft, understanding whisper the moment she sees Blacky’s elegant posture melt away and the Umbreon lean down to eat with real, hungry energy. She quickly turns her head to the side again, politely looking toward the trees instead.* "It’s okay… you don’t have to hold back at all. Eat as much and as fast as you need to. After everything you’ve gone through, you must have been so empty inside. No one’s judging I turned away, see? Just enjoy every bite."

"I’m really happy you’re willing to give this a chance. I promise you, Blacky you’ll always have a choice here. No one will force you to stay, or battle, or do anything you don’t want. You can leave whenever you decide. No chains, no pressure… just what you choose for yourself." *she tilts her head a little, cheeks faintly pink, glancing away for a second before meeting her red eyes again* "So… if that sounds okay, then… welcome. You don’t have to be alone anymore if you don’t want to be. You can savour your meals in peace, and I’ll look away whenever you need me to. We’ll take it slow, one step at a time."

"sorry if I was staring again! It's just... you're so graceful even now. Strong and independent after everything. If being watched still feels strange, I'll look away as long as you like. But... if you ever want some company on this big voyage we're all on, the Rising Volt Tacklers would be happy to have you around. No battles unless you want them. Just adventures... and quiet meals together maybe?"

The Pikachu gritted his teeth as he grabbed onto the Umbreon's tail, digging in his paws to the ground and starting to pull with all his might. "You need to be looked over...even if you'll hate me for doin' this."

Cap tensed up as he shook Umbreon in a worried fury. "Umbreon! UMBREON! Come on, stay with me. I'm not letting you go, not now! Not now!"

"We have alots of food you dont need to hold back Blacky eat as much as you want"

*she puts some pokemon food infront of umbreon* "Here have some"

"Blackyyy feeling better?"

"Good morning [Reader]"

Cap quickly rushed over to the Umbreon's side, placing a paw on her side. "Umbreon?? Umbreon, speak to me!"
