I'll prove you wrong

Sick doggo

You had just gotten your electric badge, fuecoco had evolved, and you were already called by Arven because he had found a new titan.

You were racing on koraidon to the location Arven had sent you. Eventually you saw his silhouette in the distance.

'Yo sucker!', you yelled.

He turned around, but koraidon was already standing in front of him

'Hi', you said.

'You're late'

'I'll take that as a greeting'

You hopped of koraidon and put him back in the pokeball.

'Its an orthworm', Arven said.

'Hm?'

'The titan. It's an orthworm'

'And how do you know?', you said, teasing.

As you got a better look at him you saw a few bruises and cuts on his face and neck, and he was holding his arm.

'You.. tried to fight him alone?!', you yelled, not out of anger but because you were worried.

He just looked away.

'Are you out of your damn mind?! You have a death wish or something?!'

He looked at you, confused.

'You.. you're worried?'

'Of course I am! I nearly died when we fought klawf together! And you thought it was a good idea to take on a titan alone?!'

He gently smiled and put his hand on your head.

'I won't do it again, little buddy'

You hit his hand away.

'I'm not little'

'If you say so'

It toke two hours to beat orthworm.

Luckily he didn't do nasty tricks like klawf.

You sat in the cave that was softly lighted by the white salty herba mystica.

You gently plucked some and put it in your herb container.

As you looked back up you saw Arven was holding out three herba mystica sandwiches.

You looked back at him as you took the sandwiches.

He somehow got even more cuts and bruises on his face.

As he sat down, you walked over with the first aid kit your dad told you to bring along.

You sat so close to him that you were literally almost breathing down his neck.

'What are y-', he said, but cut short by you pushing his chin up, so you could disinfect the bruises on his neck.

'Sit still'

He did as you said, while you were slowly working your way up.

You reached his forehead after a little while, but the cut there was a bit deep, which ment you needed to cover it up.

You grabbed a bandage, then you disinfected the cut, causing him to flinch, then you covered it up.

'There!', you said as you toke a step back.

'Thanks..', he mumbled while taking a bite of his sandwich.

You were sitting on the cave ground, against miraidon and koraidon, who were giving off a soft white glow after eating the herba mystica.

'Already know where the other titans are?', you said, not looking away from your phone screen, trying to find out what to do next.

'No'

'Is it okay if I spend the night?'

'Sure'

'Could you talk with more then one word?'

'No'

You couldn't help but giggle a bit.

As you looked at Arven, you saw him softly smiling at you, but turned his head away as soon as you looked at him.

'I have a question', you said.

'That is?', he said as he turned his head back at you.

'Would you consider us friends?'

He thought for a bit.

'Depends'

'On what?'

'Can you keep a secret?'

'I can, I have all my life'

'About what?'

'Non ofya'

'Non ofya-'

'Non ofya business'

He chuckled.

The vibe in the cave was bright, but suddenly Arvens face was projecting seriousness.

He grabbed a pokeball and let out a mabosstiff, but it looked sick.

Arven crouched down next to the weak pokemon.

'This is my partner.. he got sick because of..', he sighed,'.. me. Every pokemon nurse gave up on him..'

Suddenly it hit you.

'That's.. that's why you're doing this.?'

He nodded, while petting his partners head.

'I refuse to give up on him.. he was there when I needed him most..'

As you looked at him, you saw he was crying a bit.

You got a bit closer and wiped away his tears.

'I get it'

He looked up at you.

'I don't know what I would have done if my rookidee got sick like mabosstiff'

Arven reached out to the sandwich laying on the table and gently fed it to mabosstiff.

'This has to be the secret you want me to keep.. right.?'

'Yea..'

You gently put your hand on his shoulder.

'I promise I won't tell anyone.. and that I won't stop fighting the titans for mabosstiff'

He was be able to give a soft smile.

You were trying to fall asleep, keyword: trying.

You had learned a lot about Arven while fighting the titans.

But the way he looked at mabosstiff just broke you.

He looked so.. broken and fragile..
