Remember the past

First one!

It was only once I was done with showering that I took Zorua carefully out and started to dry him while he was sleeping. Seeing it sleep this peacfully kinda did warm my heart. He seemed like a nice and good pokemon and it was only now that I also remembered that Lucario did kinda growl at him. No one he did that since this wasn't a rockruff at all. That partner from my father just wanted to warn us.

Dad: Hikari!

Me: Yes?

Dad: Come down and let me see your wounds.

Me: Coming.

I didn't wanted to leave this little guy alone in my room so once he was completly done and back to a more presentable way, I took a small fluffy blanket and took him with me down while having him in there. It might not be the best idea if he was ice type but he seemed to enjoy the fluffiness of it.

The moment I came down however my father kinda froze when he saw the white and pink fur of the pokemon.

Dad: Where did you find that pokemon.

Me: That was the rockruff we saved.

Dad: Illusion huh...

Me: Seems so.

Dad: I never seen anything like this.

Me: Zorua. That's his name.

Dad: Zorua huh... well it is a nice name you gave him.

I didn't.

It told me his name on his own but better not say that.

Dad: You gonna keep him?

Me: I don't know. I don't want to force him to stay at my side.

Dad: Of course you won't. That's just you. Now come here and let me see your back.

I did as he told me and came over to a chair while he had the first aid kid there and immediately went to work and tended to my wounds once I sat down. Lucario was with us in the room and he seems kinda sad but there was really nothing he could have done with how I reacted and I wasn't mad at him too.

Me: It's fine Lucario. You couldn't have done anything. It's my own fault.

Lucario: Rio.

Me: Don't beat yourself up over this.

Lucario: Cario.

Dad: That's the spirit buddy! Let's go train after this.

Me: I thought you already went to the gym.

Dad: Today it's closed.

Me: Huh but why?

Dad: The last battle destroyed a bit of the arena and today they are reparing it. 

Me: Oh I see.

Dad: You know... you would be a great trainer.

Me: Dad, you know I don't like seeing them fight.

Dad: I know but they do this for us. They want to be stronger and protect us as well. I hope you understand that.

Me: I do....

Dad: Anyways I am done. Thank god it wasn't a deep wound.

Me: Mh.

It was at this moment that Zorua woke up and looked up from my arms. I couldn't believe what he did next cause he just jumped up and began nuzzeling himelf against me before somehow jumping on my shoulder and then placing himself there. 

Zorua: Rua!

Dad: HAHAHAHAHA It seems like he likes you.

Zorua: Zorua!

Wait!

Didn't he speak earlier?

I can't be that I was just imagining it.

The moment I thought that I looked at him and he just whinked at me. This was definitelly not my imagination. He was doing this on purpose but why? That didn't make much sense to me at all but so be it. If he didn't wanted to talk then I wasn't one to butt in and force him to talk at all. So in the end I just smiled warmling at him and ruffled his head.

He in respod came closer and nuzzeled himself against my cheek again.

Dad: You know. You should keep him as your partner. Let him be your very first pokemon.

Me: Dad!

Zorua: Rua!

Dad: See. He wants it too. Here.

Just like that he went to the counter where his own bag is just to give me an Ultra ball. I knew what he meant but I really didn't wanted to take away this Zorua's freedom away but apparently he didn't think alike and just jumped down right when I got the ball and touched it himself. It was as if he wanted this and so I cought him without any issues at all and the funny thing was that he broke out of the ball right after I got him. It was clear that he loved being around me more than in his ball.

Dad: Congratulation on catching your very first pokemon Hikari.

Me: Thanks.

I can't believe he just did that!

I mean why would he do that!

I definitelly have to talk with this little fella a bit more!

This is just weird!

Why would he chose me!

All I did was just save him... then again he didn't seem wild to begin with.

Something is definitelly up here.

I better talk to him.
