Pokémon Scarlet & Violet: Roaring Titan (Slow updates, but still Ongoing)

4| Sara's Phobia

Song: "Emotion" (Pokémon: Scarlet & Violet) - Gamefreak

"It turns out...Mom....truly did love and cared about me in the end. That large book...is a photo album. Containing all the pictures of me when I was a baby, in my childhood and pre-teen years, to now...She had been saving all of those pictures the whole entire time, by keeping them all in that large photo album.

I would only guess she planned to give it to me in the future, when I'm an adult, as a wedding gift or something...

But, there was also now a reason why she stopped communicating with me..."

"What's the reason?"

"An accident happened to her, right here in this research station, at the same time, day, and year it happened with Professor Sada...She's already been gone for a long time, and I had no idea about it until now."

"Gone? You don't mean - " Penny began.

In response, Sara silently nodded.

"My mom's been gone since the day the incident happened here, between Koraidon and the Alpha Koraidon.

The one who had been taking care of me this whole entire time in her stead, aside from my uncle...was an AI of herself, that she had apparently built together with Professor Sada at some point, when she was still alive. And I never even noticed nor realized it too until now." She choked out tearfully.

Understanding what was emotionally going on, Scarlet got down and pulled her into a tight hug, which was returned immediately, before Sara buried her face into her shoulder and started crying again.

"There you go...Just let it all out..." Scarlet responds gently, as she begins rubbing Sara's back soothingly.

Unable to utter anything, all Sara could only do was cry and hug tightly a little.

As for Arven, he didn't know what to think after he, Nemona and Penny finally heard about who Sara's mother is, and what her past is with her mother.

Like Scarlet just mentioned earlier, Sara's past is apparently similar to Arven's but it still carries a lot of differences in comparison.

It was like something shot through his body that made him go into shock.

Only he doesn't know what it is, since it can be anything, emotionally.

After Sara had stopped crying and felt better, she put her glasses back on and stood up to her feet while she sniffed and wiped her tears away with her school's summer uniform shirt.

"So, uhm, yeah...That's my backstory. Thanks guys, really, for listening...Even if you didn't want to.

Oh...And take these too, as my way to express my gratitude. You'll never know when you need them at any time." She says before giving all of them some max revives.

"I had extra that was enough for all of you, so, I figured you can put them to use if something happens to either of your pokémon during all of this that we're about to face. And the same goes to you too, Arven."
