Hibiki had his hand on Typhlosion's back as they walk. Red remembers he had told him that he doesn't really like walking with his cane, depending on the situation. Once, Typhlosion became Quilava he relied on the creature the most for guiding him. Typhlosion was quite a good Pokemon for the boy surprisingly, due to how timid Cyndaquils are. Just like Red's Pokemon adapted to his deafness, Hibiki's did the same for his blindness. Speaking of, Pikachu was trotting slightly ahead, ears twitching in each direction.

They are on their way to the shoreline which wasn't too far from where Red's house was. Despite it being springtime, there weren't too many people outside of locals. The peak season was still a bit away. Which was ideal for Hibiki, to get around easier. Red looked the side where the cherry blossom trees were lined up, in full bloom, they've reached their peak yet soon they'll fall to vibrant green leaves. There were some picnicking under the trees, flower viewing. He thought soon they, his friends and family, should do the same before pink petals disappear. Red thought he'll need to take a brunch for Hibiki when they do, it's the only way for him to "view" the blossoms. He looks back to Hibiki who's walking carefully. Although, he looks to be his own world, due to the how vacant his eyes are.

Eventually, they made it down to their destination. Typhlosion and Pikachu were sitting where the dry sand and wet sand met, their trainer's shoes sat with him. Both creatures watch as their trainers are about ankle deep in the ocean. Red reaches over to lightly touch Hibiki's hand, indicating that he wants to say something. Hibiki understanding finds Red's hand to sets his on top. "Is there something specific shells you'll like?" He signs as Hibiki feels each movement of his hand. Hibiki pause, translating what had been said. He then waves back, "I like anything, but the less broken it is, the better." Red nods then remembering he brings the boy hand to his face and repeats nodding for him. They went on their ways to find some shells.

Red, of course, had an advantage, having sight. However, Hibiki was content being there, warm salt air (but cold water), the wet sand, and the crashing waves that rush back home after reaching to his feet. He stayed where he wouldn't get too wet, searching slowly with his hands.
Red's pants legs are rolled just above his knees, as he's able to travel a bit further into the mass of water. The waves are small, at the moment anyway, Red notice. He does see a bright object within the greenish-blue water.

Hibiki hears splashing coming from his right. He stands up from his squatting and reaches his hand out. Red grabs his outstretched hand. He sees few tiny Shells he's left hand, probably comparing them to each other. He signs to Hibiki, "I found one you might like." Hibiki smiles as he exchanges his shells for the on Red was handing him.
It was as big but smaller than his palm, horizontal. It was a cone shape, with a full opening and half of the shell that he twisted to its point. He found some similar to this, yet not as big. He was quite happy with Red's find. He pulls something from his light jacket pocket, it was was a very small (not fully develop) shellder's shell, it too was big and fit in his palm. He held it out to for Red.
Red takes the shell to examine it, it almost looked in perfect condition. Red smiles coyly, he signs in Hibiki hand, "I don't know if this really a fair trade?" He makes a small laugh in his throat, which allowed Hibiki to understand how's he's playing.

He grins in return and signs back, "Maybe that means we just have to keep finding more."

-Author's note-

So I was looking back at my work in progress and noticed I had this finished or finished enough for an extra chapter. Hopefully, this can hold over until I get more idea's for this. I'm also thinking about doing another "series" of Red and Hibiki, that's a little closer to the gameverse. . . Anyway, Thank you for reading and tell me what you think.
