Razor began to stir as he reached up and rubbed his eye to wake up.
He finds that Rai is not next to him, in fact he's not in the room.
"Rai?" Razor gets up and goes outside to see him overlooking the town they lived in
"Hey, you ok?"Razor ask.
Rai looks back to see Razor behind him. "Oh yeah I'm fine."
"What'cha doing?" Razor sounds concerned.
"Just looking at the town we live in." He says looking.
Razor hugged him from behind.
"Thanks Razor. That means a lot."Rai thank him.
"No prob." Razor said smiling.
The Raichu looks at the town in thought. "Do you ever think about your parents at home?" He ask.
"A little." He answers.
"I mean, this place is nice, but my parents, my little sister. They mean a lot to me. I can't just leave them." Rai said matter-of-fact
"Neither do I." Razor agreed.
Rai holds Razor's paws. "I don't like what those people did, but they just don't know. We got to do something."
"I know, but what?" asked Razor.
"Hmm." Rai thought about it. "Well, for starters, we can't do it by ourselves! Can we get them to help us?"
"Maybe." shrugged Razor.
"Well, let's go talk to them about it. We got to convince them Razor." Rai said.
"Ok." he nodded as they walked back in where all the pokemon were sleeping with their partner.
The raichu tries to get their attention. "Um, can I talk to everyone please?" Rai ask them.
"What is it?" asked the Machamp.
Rai takes a breath. "I wonder, why is everyone here at the sparkling gem?"
"We told you yesterday." spoke the Machamp.
The Raichu nods, "I see, so we're all here because we been force our by other pokemons, because they don't understand us." All of them nodded.
"Have anyone thought about trying to get a idea about how we could fix this?" Rai ask.
"Maybe a petition?" suggested Hector.
"That could work. Bottom line, we can't let them force pokemon like us out of there homes just because we have different preferences."
"Yeah!" chorused all of them.
"So we might like those of the same gender, even different species. We're still pokemon! Just like them!" Rai cried out.
"Yay!" The group cheered.
"We deserve happiness just like them. We'll show them that love comes in all shapes and sizes! Who's with us?" All of them raised their hands.
"All right, let do this!"
The group worked on preparing for the petition. They made signs, created a speech, there were quite much planning on it.
After the work is done. "Okay, I think we're ready. We'll start tomorrow so we can prepare ourselves for it' They all nodded, satisfied with their work.
Rai sighs, "I appreciate all the effort you put in. I know it'll work out."
"I hope." spoke Terry.
"We can do this. Just stay positive." attempting to assure them.
Rai and Razor returns to their rooms for the night.
The Raichu was out looking out the window, too nervous to sleep.
"Don't worry about it Rai." Razor said, attempting to comfort him.
He shakes his head "I..I can't. I can't guarantee that it'll succeed. I'm so nervous." Rai was shivering.
Razor hugged him from behind and nuzzled his cheek.
Rai flinched, but relaxed in his embraced.
"Don't worry. I'll be here for ya."
"Thanks, it really helps." Rai turns and hug him back.
"Come on, let's go back to bed." Razor said.
Rai smiles and they headed towards them.
