[Game] Lord Windos' PokeRole Adventure: Celadon City Vandel

[Dragonstrike]

Reiner goes over to Mew...and carefully picks the critter up when it faints.  And he does something he hasn't done for anyone except Kingdra in a long time...

He hugs Mew.

An Unwavering Heart

That moment of clarity...he understood now.  Both the extent Mew's terrible and awesome power, and why she didn't want to remember it...it was all so clear after what he'd just seen...

'Mew...I'm sorry...I'm sorry I put you through that...'  Tears could be seen if one looked closely enough...

The pokemon all just look at him in puzzlement.  This...wasn't Reiner...he wasn't an emotional guy.  At all.  Except when it came to his aspirations and revenge...

Reiner just sits there for a little while.  He couldn't bring himself to put Mew in the Great Ball just yet.  He was going to do it...he'd felt the terrible...loneliness that Mew had for so, so long, after all...but he didn't want to confine the feline to it just yet...

He'd have some explaining to do to Nurse Joy when he returned to the Center...and maybe to Giovanni as well...Mew's exact words had been that he belonged to Reiner now, after all...but again, he didn't want to do any of that just yet...

He wasn't sure if he could right this moment...
