The Sun & The Star - Memories (Prequel Chapter)

Wakey Wakey

•~☀️~•

"Ten long years had passed since I had started living in Growhil...I had grown a lot, and I was starting to become an adult.Almost everyone in the world had found out about pokemon, and some of the more common objects you see today, such as pokeballs and pokedexes, had been invented,  Humans had also started training their pokemon at special parks and gymnasiums where they could battle other trainers to compare their strengths. Tournaments had also started being organized in the bigger cities of our Region...And they were quite popular. Very popular actually. Even our human considered signing Rufus and I up one time. Though he mostly just took us to watch them. I am very glad that Human changed his mind though! Rufus was starting to reach his golden years, and he would not have had a very pleasant time..."•~☀️~•

It was early in the morning, and Celosia had just gotten up. She's gotten much bigger since we last saw her. Before, she was just a child, but now she's all grown up!

Celosia walked over to Rufus, who was sleeping on the sofa in the living room. He's been starting to shed less fur, making him appear more poofy. All of these things happen to pokemon when they age, so it was nothing to worry about.

"Good morning, Rufus. Did you sleep well?" Celosia asked her canine friend, looking up at him.
Their roles had pretty much reversed, and Celosia was starting to take care of Rufus whenever their owner was busy.

Rufus lifted his head and looked down at Cece "Ah, good mornen' Lass. Slept prette well. No interruptions, no nightmares...not even that bloody Skitteh that keeps starin' at me! Bloodeh...hate that cat" He answered, growling at just the thought of his arch nemesis...BETSY, THE SKITTY FROM NEXT DOOR. "Is Master up yet? I feel like doin' something active today. Ykno...get to know some people! Run around!" he said, hopping off the sofa and sitting on the floor in front of Celosia

"Not yet. It looks like we will have to wait for him to wake up...again..." Celosia replied, letting out a small sigh as she shook her head.

"Don't worry, Lass. I've got a way to wake him up real quick!" Rufus said, walking over to the stairs. He clears his throat and lets out a fake whimper, which echoed all through the house. He sits down and waits for the magic to happen.

Celosia was confused "What exactly was that supposed to accomplish?" She asked, tilting her head.

"Patience, Lass...patience" Rufus said, looking down at the bug with a smirk.

Suddenly, their owner came running down the stairs. His hair was very messy, and he was still in his pajamas.

"Rufus?! Did something happen?! Are you okay?!" He asked, inspecting Rufus for any injuries. The scientist started worrying a lot about Rufus lately since he's been getting up there in years. This really shows how much Rufus means to him.

Rufus licked his master's face, letting him know he was alright. He didn't want to worry his master, he just wanted him to wake up!

The human let out a sigh of relief and pat Rufus on the head "Oh thank god...Sorry about that, Rufie...it's just you never know what could happen..." he explained to him, frowning. He sat on the bottom step of the staircase and started thinking about how his life would change if Rufus wasn't there every day.
