"Gold what the–" Silver groans, as his acquaintance Gold, (to Gold's eyes— they're best friends though.) drags Silver through the bushes of Ilex forest with his Feraligatr running closely behind in confusion.

"Trust me!" Gold laughed in amusement tugging on his wrist farther as they emerge into a clearing so lush. Picnic baskets set up, and Pokémon running around. "We knew you wouldn't come if we asked beforehand." Gold muses, as Kris waved over.

"Hey!" she waved, as Crystal also beamed to Silver. But what caught his eye, was {{user}}, waving casually to the red head.

Arceus, his heart.

That's how the two ended up ditching the group to hangout by another dense part of the forest, sitting under a large oak tree watching wild Pokémon play.

"Yknow I never tell anyone this.. but," Silver trailed off, looking out at the sky, blanked off. "You're different." he muttered to {{user}} as his vulnerability crept out.
