The PokeQuest

Chapter 9- Soup and Backstories

"Hey guys, I'll be right back. I won't be very far away." Bendy stated as he stood up and walked towards the edge of the forest. Marshy and Marcy followed him, knowing that he may be upset…

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

After about 10 minutes of walking Bendy, Marcy, and Marshy found a small clearing with a tiny pond. The water looked so clean and beautiful! There was no doubt that a Pokemon had purified the water.

"Marshy, Marcy, you two can play for a bit here. I know it's pretty stressful having to travel all the time." Bendy said as he walked over to a tree and sat down under it.

"I'll be here to watch you guys. Please don't destroy this place. I'm mostly looking at you, Marcy." Bendy snickered. Marcy playfully glared at Bendy.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

"So, what should we do first?" Marcy asked as she turned to Marshy, who shrugged in response.

"I…don't know. Maybe we can play Hide and Seek?" Marshy suggested, receiving a nod from Marcy.

"Sure! That sounds fun!" Marcy giggled. Marshy nodded his head back.

"I'll be the seeker first then. And no using your invisibility!" Marshy stated.

"Fiiiiiine." Marcy groaned. Marshy covered his eyes and started counting.

"1. 2. 3. 4.."

Marcy noticed a large bush nearby, so she decided to hide there. When she hopped into the bush she had to stifle multiple giggles.

"28. 29. 30! I'm coming for you Marcy!" Marshy yelled out as he began to look around the clearing. Marcy just rolled her eyes as she peeked out from a small hole in the bush.

After about 5 minutes of searching Marshy could hear very faint giggles coming from a nearby bush. He chuckled to himself. He quickly jumped into the bush and grabbed Marcy's shoulder.

"Found you!" Marshy cheered as he dragged a pouting Marcy out of the bush.

"Aw man! I really thought I'd win that time!" Marcy groaned.

Marcy and Marshy played Tag for around 20 minutes before tiring themselves out, so Bendy decided that they should head back to the camp.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

When Bendy had returned Marcy turned invisible again and Marshy was hiding in the shadows as usual.

"Hey Bendy! There you are!" Boris yelled happily while waving at his brother. Felix's ears perked up when Bendy was mentioned. He let out a sigh of relief when he saw the short demon had returned.

"Bendy! You were gone for over half an hour! Where were you?" Felix cried in his signature fatherly tone.

"I was just walking around. There's nothing to worry about." Bendy said as he waved his hand in a nonchalant manner.

"Bendy, you had me really worried! I yelled for you and you never responded! I was about to come find you myself!" Felix said as he placed his hands onto Bendy's shoulders.

"I don't like when you hide the truth about yourself from us. I know you don't trust me completely, but.." Felix trailed off.

"N-No! It's not like that at all!" Bendy suddenly yelled.

"I do trust you, quite a bit actually. I just wanted to make a good first impression on you." Bendy muttered while he fiddled with his tail.

"I've looked up to you ever since I was young and it was always my dream to meet you, and now that I've gotten to know you better I've realised that you're even better than I imagine!" Bendy sighed as a blush grew on his face. Felix's eyes softened at how shy Bendy seemed about the subject.
