Sooo, kind of a short chapter, but I've somehow been super busy even though I'm on break... but enjoy!
The Box Pokemon were used to being left for long periods of time, so they continued with their everyday lives. Swinub had secluded himself once again, this time, training himself in the moves he knew so that he would be ready to fight as soon as his time came to train for evolution so that Trainer Wes' Pokedex would be completed. He thought that if he became good enough, he could become a battle trained Pokemon. So, he worked diligently everyday, dreaming for his chance at the real world.
The Pokemon were constantly watching the outward 3DS cam screen to see what was happening. Trainer Wes had been easing off of playing his newer game, he rarely played it now unless he had other trainers around. They recognized some of the trainers as from previous 3DS connections.
Most easily recognized was Trainer Ian, he had battled Trainer Wes numerous times and they had a sort of rivalry. It was entertaining to hear about the battles between Ian and Wes from Aggron and the Pokemon longed for the Trainers to pick up their 3DS' and battle for a match or two. However the two continued to play their savage fighting game and payed little attention to the Pokemon.
In the main party box, the tight area was beginning to get to them; Manectric and Wailord were affected by this long period of time in captivity. Wailord, given his usual large size, was unaccustomed to being indoors, and when he had first been caught he had been prone to panic attacks.
Manectric on the other hand, had some difficulty with his emotional stability ever since he had been left in the daycare with Trainer Wes' Ditto when an Ace Trainer had stated that his stats were quite extraordinary and that someone would pay a hefty sum for his offspring if he were to breed. Trainer Wes liked this idea and promptly placed Manectric in the daycare for a long period of time, in which time Trainer Wes worked to hatch dozens of Electrike eggs until there was a box full of imperfect but still well bred Electrikes and a handful of perfect ones put into a separate box. Ever since then, Manectric had an intense difficulty with putting aside his jittery, fearful emotions and was forever nervous in enclosed spaces whereas the daycare had been in the fresh air despite the fence surrounding them.
In other words, Manectric had been a basket case that needed consolation 24-7 and Wailord, the calm, collected member of the team, was becoming wired as well. Often, Lady Swellow would calm Wailord, and though she was the most motherly figure in the group, she was only able to console Manectric from a distance because she was particularly susceptible to the static shocks that radiated off of Manectric. Aggron would try to help Manectric closely because his primary steel and secondary rock typing made the static less affective on him. Everyone was hoping for a miracle: that Trainer Wes would come back.
Everyone seems to be coping in their own ways huh? I decided to give a few other Pokemon the spotlight for now, you know, give them some love. Just because they aren't the main characters doesn't mean they aren't important, right? Alright, the next chapter should hopefully come soon, laterade!
