Chapter 10
Her origins do nothing to dampen their relationship Elly is surprised to learn, but White is more determined than ever to prove that she's got the stuff of a champion pokemon inside her. She starts by brushing her fur every day as opposed to once every few like before; she takes her to bathe with her (much to the feline's chagrin) and uses a shampoo that makes her fur soft and glossy. Treats she can't afford and instead learns to make come next to help keep her healthy. Regular check-ups at pokemon centers whenever they come into a town help confirm that she's the healthiest and prettiest Meowth the nurses have seens in a long while and White beams proudly.
The training is the same as before, despite the effort she puts into making her show worthy. She neither adds or takes away from the regimen because she knows that it was the harsh treatment before that eventually broke her and that treating her like a special case would make her other pokemon jealous and give her an ego. Despite the pampering, Elly is glad she understands this and accepts the doting without complaint.
It's annoying, but she feels loved.
End
I can already sense a few of you screaming over how I jypped you guys on what is potentially a very heartwrenching story, but in all fairness the story needs to keep moving and lingering on a single moment kinda hinders that. But worry not! I've been toying with the idea of expanding on some of the chapters, both current and future, and I would like to get into more detail with a few of them. Unless of course someone beats me to it. Dx If any of you lovely readers feels so inclined, I would love to see what you do.
Just saying.
Reviews save lives. And bully the author into updating more often.
