Meowth's eyes slowly fluttered open a soft groan escaping the Pokémon's mouth, while his whole body hurt he soon realized it didn't hurt nearly as bad.
He also realized he was in a Helicopter.
His bosses Helicopter.
Blinking a couple times trying to get his bearings he saw he was in his Bosses arms. Not only that but Giovanni was sound asleep.
"Your lucky we found you in time".
Matori sat on the other side of the Helicopter her eyes gazing intensely at Meowth, who shifted nervously not used to being watched.
"We heard from your partners that you went missing. Giovanni put two and two together. Especially with your encounter with Rose previously. Your partners have been notified…but..".
Meowth's heart dropped.
"But what?".
"Apparently the Alohan Meowth that was sent to us had taken a liking to them, they said…we could have you that they didn't need you on the Team anymore.
Meowth swallowed thickly tears coming to his eyes they clenched tightly shut, his tired weak frame shaking from the suspended emotions.
"Afta evethin we've been through. And they throw me away just like dat". Meowth sighed ears dropping. "What's da point of being able to talk. If nobody wants you around?".
Meowth jolted feeling a hand on top of his head gently managing it, his weary eyes looked up at his Boss who gazed at the Pokemon with half lidded eyes.
"You are welcome to stay with me. I have found myself without a companion ever since Persian left me weeks ago".
"No way". Meowth's tone with disbelief. "But ya were always so close". His heart broke when Giovanni let out a short humorless laugh.
"It seems loyalty only goes so far until somebody else comes alone. They could give Persian a more luxurious life".
"Oh Boss". Meowth eyes furrowed a sad knowing look crossing the Pokémon's face, biting his lip the Cat Pokémon stood on unsteady legs before wrapping his arms around Giovanni's neck. "I'm sorry".
Matori met Giovanni's gaze who swallowed trying his best to keep his composure, Giovanni was ruthless and cruel. He was dangerous and hateful. But being abandoned by the one Pokémon he seeked out companionship with.
Well it even broke Giovanni's heart.
The male wrapped his arm around the Pokémon his face resting against the soft fur.
After a few moments Giovanni pulled back his face once again nurtueal emotions guarded.
"It will be a few hours until we reach headquarters". Giovanni coughed. "We should get some rest. Once we get back we will get you some medical help".
Meowth nodded lips turning into a gratitude smile, he felt himself be pulled against his Boss, this time they laid down. A blanket covering them both.
Turning towards Giovanni's chest Meowth buried his face into the fabric yawning, curling against the male he was soon asleep his Boss not long after.
