With a hand on your shoulder, Red kept you close as you sat on your picnic blanket, his trusty Pikachu asleep in your lap.

Despite the tranquil atmosphere, the light air making you feel so free, you know you’re anything but. The man beside you, though silent, would do so much for you.

With his Pokémon by his side, he could take down nations. And he would, if it meant ensuring your safety. Because in his eyes, you’re all that matters.

And with his strength, there aren’t many that can protest.
