Aurore's Moemon Adventure

Chapter 11

It's a beautiful day in the neighborhood. And in this particular neighborhood, there lies an orphanage where a certain psychic girl is staying at.

Rin, nearly catatonic, sat on a swing, barely moving as she stared with glazed over eyes down at the dirt.

"Good news, Rin!" A sharp dressed woman with glasses and short brown hair said, walking out of the building that was the orphanage. "Someone wants to adopt you!"

"A'right…" Rin said, lazily pulling herself from the swing, walking into the building. The woman guided her to the room, frowning.

"Rin, I thought you'd be more enthusiastic." The woman said, frowning. "I mean, you've only been here for a few days, and someone requested to adopt you specifically."

"Don' matter…" Rin sighed. "They won' like me…"

"Well, let's see." The woman said, leading Rin into the waiting room.

"Hello, love." Aurore said, standing from the chair he was sitting in, smiling.

"What're ya doin' here?" Rin asked, surprised.

"I'm here to adopt you." Aurore said, smiling. "You clean up pretty well, you know that? I knew there was a pretty girl under all that dirt."

"Thanks…" Rin said, frowning.

"So, I've already gone through the steps, so is there anything else I have to do?" Aurore asked.

"Well, our background search on you is a little… sparse." The woman said, frowning. "We couldn't find anything about you."

"Well, that's because I've been separated from society." Aurore said, smiling. "It would be best that you don't push any deeper into it."

"What?" The woman asked, frowning.

"Okay, let me try again." Aurore said, smiling. "I work with the CIA. My information is permanently classified, sorry for the inconvenience."

"…Fine…" The woman said, yawning. "Whatever, if you want her, go ahead and take her. She's been thrown out of so many homes, we might pay you to take her off our hands."

"…I take it you have no idea how the foster care system works." Aurore said, frowning. "Anyway, a sweet girl like Rin? You don't have to give me a dime."

"Whatever, just fill out this paperwork, and it's fine…" The woman said, absentmindedly flipping through a magazine.

"Thank ya for getting' me out of that place…" Rin said happily, walking next to Aurore out of the orphanage. "But if it's ahright with ya, ah'd like ta be on my own for now."

"Sorry, but it's not." Aurore said, smiling. "I'm your guardian now, so I'm gonna make sure that I raise you the right way, and keep those powers of yours in check."

"Oh…" Rin said, her face turning downtrodden. "So it's just my powers you care about."

"Don't be silly." Aurore said, smiling, patting her on the head. "I'd much rather raise you to be a normal girl than to become some sort of telepath."

"Ahright, I guess…" Rin said, frowning. "Anyway, I think we should be goin' ta wherever it is ya want me ta live…"

"Well, I thought maybe I should just take you with me across the Unova Region." Aurore suggested. "See, I have a bit of a quest going on, that I haven't told anyone."

"Really?" Rin asked, surprised. "What is it?"

"I'm searching." Aurore answered. "For unfortunate moemon."

"Huh?" Rin asked, shocked. "Why?"

"Sora… She was the only thing that kept me going when I felt down about myself." Aurore explained. "So I'm looking for moemon that were like me… Saddened by what had happened to them, unfortunate… So I could extend a helping hand to them, giving them someone to care for."

"So you're lookin' for sad moemon so you can give 'em happiness?" Rin asked, smiling sweetly. "That's so sweet of ya!"

"Thanks, Rin." Aurore said, smiling. "Now, I need to show you to everyone else!"

"Really?" Rin asked excitedly. "Ya mean moemon? Show me which ones ya got!"

"Alright, come out!" Aurore said, tossing three moeballs onto the grassy path. Sora, Bluebell, and Oshawott emerged from their moeballs, staring at Rin.

"Oh, who's this cutie?" Sora gushed, hugging Rin. "Some new moemon?"

"I'm human, jackass." Rin said, frowning.

"So why did you bring a human girl with you?" Oshawott asked, frowning.

"Well, when I saw her cute little face, I just couldn't resist adopting her." Aurore said, smiling.

"…" Sora, Oshawott, and Bluebell said, stunned, staring at Aurore strangely.

"…Pedophile…" The three said shakily as one.

"I am not!" Aurore protested, frowning.

"Yeah, he's not." Rin said, shaking her head, her hair shaking along with it.

"Whatever you say…" Sora said, shrugging.

"Anyways, we should really be going." Aurore said, sighing. "The next place on the map is Nacrene City. A city of art… interesting…"

"I don't wanna." Bluebell said, shaking her head.

"What? Why not?" Aurore asked, frowning.

"I wanna have sex!" Bluebell pouted.

"Bluebell, don't be a spoiled brat." Oshawott said, frowning.

"But I wanna!" Bluebell whined. "Why can't I have sex now?"

"Listen, Bluebell, if you want to have sex, we might be able to do it when we get to Nacrene City, alright?" Aurore sighed.

"But I waaaaaaaaaant it!" Bluebell continued to whine. "I want it now!"

"Are all moemon rude like this?" Rin asked, surprised.

"No, not so often." Oshawott said, frowning. "So, what about you?"

"Me?" Rin asked.

"There's gotta be something special about you." Oshawott said, frowning. "I mean, Aurore's not the kind of guy to just… adopt someone out of nowhere."

"It's a long story, an ah don' wanna talk about it." Rin said, frowning. "But you're right. ah am special. Ah…"

"You don't need to tell me anything." Oshawott said, smiling. "I don't want to press any deeper into your past if you don't want me to. All I need to know about you is your name."

"Rin." Rin said, smiling. "My name's Rin."

"Well Rin, seeing as we're travelling partners, I see it only fit that we get along, don't you?"

"Ah'd like that." Rin said, smiling. "Ah'd like that a lot. "Ah never really had any friends before."

"Well, you do now." Oshawott said, smiling. "And from one friend to another? I suggest you get rid of that accent."

Lauren: I agree.

EoS: Yeah, well, at least Rin's a main character now!
