I OWN NO ONE.
"Bwark!" Popplio barked in surprise.
"You're going to choose Popplio as you Pokémon?" Professor Kukui said, looking as if Moon just hit him in the face.
"Yep!" Moon said, and slowly picked the small blue Pokémon in his arms. Popplio didn't try to escape, but Moon suspected that Popplio had been abused before even Kahuna Hala got it.
"I think that Popplio is a great choice, Moon." Lillie said, as her bag started to move.
"Um, Lillie, what's in your bag?" Moon asked, and Lillie held her bag closer to her side.
"N-nothing!" She stammered, as her bag started shaking violently.
"Nothing is shaking your bag right now?" Moon asked skeptically, as a small cosmic-looking Pokémon popped out of it. "What's that Pokémon?" He added, see the new Pokémon.
"Well, its name is Cosmog, and it came from far away, and I want to help get it home." Lillie explained, though it was obvious that she wouldn't've if Cosmog hadn't popped out of her bag.
Cosmog was a small Pokémon that looked like a space cloud. Like something Rayquaza or Deoxys farted out. It had to small balls on its head, and it was smiling at me.
"Well, then. Hello, Cosmog." Moon said, while Litten and Rowlet were congratulating Popplio on being chosen. Popplio wasn't afraid of other Pokémon, which proved Moon's theory that Popplio was abused.
"Hey, Popplio, wanna head home?" Moon asked gently, and Popplio hid behind Litten. Litten gave a little "Meow" of assurance (not the move), letting Popplio know Moon wouldn't hurt it. Popplio slowly walked towards to Moon, and lifted his head to meet Moon's eyes.
Popplio was nervous when it walked into Moon's house behind him that morning. They had stayed in Iki town for most of the night, and Popplio had been reluctant to leave until Litten and Rowlet had encouraged it to leave with Moon, Popplio's new trainer.
"Hey, Mom! I'm home!" Moon yelled, reaching down to pet Popplio, who had hid behind Moon's leg.
"Hello, dear. And who is this?" Moon's Mom said, seeing Popplio.
"This is Popplio. Say hi, Popplio." Moon said, kneeling down to lift Popplio. "Popplio is shy. I think it's been abused before Kahuna Hala had it."
"Oh, that's terrible." Moon's mom said. "But I have something for you from Professor Kukui."
"Really?" Moon asked, and set Popplio on the floor. "C'mon Popplio, let's see what she's got for us."
"Bwark." Popplio barked, and slowly walked behind Moon. It was obvious that Popplio was getting used to Moon. At least, it didn't shy away from him.
"Moon, Popplio, this is Rotomdex!" Moon's mom said, and a small red device-like Pokémon appeared from behind her.
WELL, MEET ROTOMDEX! WILL THIS BE ANOTHER THING TO MAKE POPPLIO AFRAID, OR WILL IT HELP IT BECOME LESS AFRAID. FIND OUT NEXT WEEK!
