Steven Universe + Sanders Sides = Pokemon Oneshot Inspiration. A simple formula. Logan would approve. STORYTIME

You sighed, hunching your back over. You wanted to let tears out, but none would flow through your eyes. They just stayed behind wherever tears come from. You didn't care. You just hunched yourself over sadly on the wooden docks of Himilau City. Water type Pokémon swam beneath your feet, but you didn't care.

That's when a Jellicent peeked out of the water and looked at you. You just stared at the Pokémon, finally feeling a tear fal, from your eye. There it goes. Where was that before when you absolutely needed it? Well, that's just climatical timing that just goes with the plot. Sometimes a character has to hate that, ya know?

Jellicent hovered out of the water and up to the wooden structure with you. Jellicent sat next to you, just there. The half ghost half water type Pokémon looked in your eyes. Neither of you said anything. You just stared at eachother. 

That's when Jellicent just lunged itself into your arms, squeezing itself in. It caused your posture to fix itself. You gasped in surprise and stared at Jellicent. It looked out towards the ocean, then just turned its head to look up at you again. If a male Jellicent could smile, you were sure the Pokémon would be smiling.

Jellicent looked back at the ocean. You followed the pokemon's Gaze to see a man in the distance surfing in the back of a Mantine. He seemed to be calling something out, but you couldn't quite hear it just yet. But Jellicent rose one of its.... arms? Whatever that little limb was, and cheered out. Must be Jellicent's trainer.

The trainer came closer and you wanted to just jump in the water and drown right then. Wow, there's no way. The trainer surfing on the back of Mantine was none other than the city's very own gym leader: Marlon. That meant this Jellicent was Marlon's and you were screwed over in multiple ways. And no heathers fans, not with a chainsaw.

"Jellicent! There ya are bud! What we're you thinkin?! Running off like that! Oh, looks like you have a friend! Hi, I'm Marlon! What's your name?"

You felt heat rising to your cheeks as Jellicent floated out from your grasp and next to his trainer loyally. You suddenly found a loss for Words. Come on, he was shirtless and in swimming pants so tight if he had a binder you could see it! Besides, his hair was wet! Men with wet hair are always hot!

"Oh, uh, yeah. Wow, I didn't expect to meet a big shot like you today. Wow im just taking up time, huh? I'm (Your name). If I had friends, they'd call me (Nickname). You can if you want..."

Oh my god that was the worst thing ever. Being so casual to someone like a gym leader!? Where the heck were your Manners!? Probably on vacation or drunk off of Marlon's twelve pack abs! Rip one off and you have an ice cold can of Coca-Cola. Because, you know. Twelve packs of soda cans? I'm done with the cool real world references if nobody's gonna appreciate them.

Marlon laughed a heart laugh. It felt great for someone to treat him as just a normal human being. Ever since he became the gym leader everyone looks up to him and is nervous and fangirling around him. It was nice to have that kind of difference. He jumped off of Mantine and had him return, Jellicent just floating around because you already seemed to like him. Maybe he can have a close friend again! One who just doesn't love him because his status.

"(Nickname), yeah? I love it! So (Nickname), whatcha doin all alone?"

Oh yeah, you kinda forgot you were out here to cry your eyes out again. You came out here to be comforted by the sea while you justness wallowed in your own thoughts. You didn't want to tell that to Marlon. Oh no! Don't want to rant about all the problems and why you're an a twrrible human being to Marlon.

"Oh, uh... Can we not? I'd rather not think about the word 'Alone' right now. I mean, if that's cool with you."

Oh great, there you go again. Just being weird again. You hunched yourself over again, holding your stomach. How cringe you were made you so sick you wanted to hurl. All of this in front of a gym leader! You didn't want to burnden someone like him! Meanwhile on the flip side Marlon just frowned. Not talk about Alone? Were you lonely? That made him sad! He wants to help you! Oh, it looks like Jellicent was already on it.

Jellicent Squeezed under your arms again, forcing your posture upright. The dual type Pokémon looked up at you with bright, compassionate eyes. It's as if seeing you hunched over told him to comfort you. You had a sad smile as you gazed at the Pokémon. Then you looked over to Marlon, on had a big smile on his face.

"You And Jellicent seem like awesome friends! Well, know that you have me and Jellicent. I don't know what's goin on, but you aren't alone."

Marlon put a hand on your shoulder, a very comforting hand. He flashed you a great smile. You couldn't help but smile back. You looked back down at Jellicent, who cheered up at you and gave you the Jellicent version of a hug in your little hug on him. Three tears escaped the unknown dam behind your eyes.

"Thank you... thank you so much..."

Your voice barely came out as a whisper. Now when the dramatic moment came, more and more tears flooded your eyes. Plotline timing, amirite? Marlon reached his arm over your shoulders and pulled you into him. You were leaning on Marlon with Jellicent in your arms. You were crying, but smiling at the same Time. Marlon had this comforting smile on too as he side-hugged you.

Yeah, he was right. You aren't alone. You're never alone. There's always someone out there who loves you the way you are.

I'm sorry for not updating literally at all today. I'm just the worst author. I'm also sorry about my normal terrible writing again. But this is about 1000 words so it's decent.

I hope you enjoyed this terrible oneshot.
