Casey looked up at Silver then back down at Umbra. "Well... I'd never really seen any pokemon up close before this, so... Not really." With one hand the boy continued scratching the Umbreon and with another he nervously fiddled with the rag he'd brought with him. "I don't even know where I'd get a pokemon. I definitely can't battle for one..." He stopped petting Umbra for a moment and looked away. "I haven't even left the palace in years..."

Silver was shocked honestly... He wasn't even expecting this. Heck, this explained some things... The ragged clothes... The shy attitude. Either Casey was mistreated or he was orphaned. The silver haired trainer didn't say anything for a long time before he walked up to the little boy, kneeling down and putting a hand on his hair, ruffling it a little. "What's stopping you?" Silver asked.

Casey felt tears starting to form under his eyes. The little boy sniffled and wiped them away with a sleeve before whispering, "I'm scared." He started picking at the cloth in his hand and didn't meet Silver's eyes. "Mama went outside and never came back. I don't wanna get hurt, I wanna stay inside where it's safe." The boy started tearing up more and dutifully wiped them away.

Umbra 's ears went back on his head, staring at Casey earnestly with his red eyes. "<Aww... That ain't right for a little human...>"
Silver nodded slowly, before he brought the little boy in a hug. "I see." He said quietly, gently. What did this remind him of... He felt like he did this before... Thats right... His best friend when he caught cancer... They were supposed to be rivals. But they never made it to the championship together... His blue eyes trailed over to Theo... The alakazam... Whom Silver received as a kadabra from his friend, about a month before he died...
Theo's sharp eyes did not meet Silver nor Casey Freud... Jet looked away uncomfortably, while Kriss watched with a frown on her impish face.

Casey sniffled some more and stained Silver's shirt with his tears. He was used to hugs by now but never from a complete stranger. The day just kept getting weirder he concluded. He stayed in the hug for a while before pulling back and wiping more tears away. The boy continued to quietly cry before he said something. "Where's your mama? Don't you miss her?" He asked.
OOC: That sounds great, Rain. With a Gible and a Ralts in his party and Silver as a friend Casey will be a pokemon master in no time (faster than Ash at least) x3

"She lives in Goldenrod. She is one of the nurses at a pokemon center." A pause. "I miss her all the time. I think though... That I have a connection with my parents, even if they are overseas in a different land. Love... Memories... I have them with me. Even if people fade from this world, The connections don't fade. They become a part of you. So we can miss those we love... But they are never gone, and you never stop feeling them unless you decide so yourself."
The trainer sighed. "I had a friend Casey, who passed away... The only thing I can do is hold on to his memory, how he affected my life for the better, and hope wherever he is, that he is happy. Theres not much we can do other than that."
Umbra then titled his ehad at the small boy, and licked the tears away from his face, murring softly. Silver slowly stood up, raising Casey with him. "Your mom would want you to live life Casey. Go out and see things. Make a life for yourself. I don't think she would want you to hole up in the castle, mourning her till you pass away. She would want you to be happy." A pause...
"Do you have anyone taking care of you?" Silver then asked. "

Casey nodded solemnly. "My mama's friend is watching me, but she's always busy. She's a nice lady, but she's not my mama..." The boy scratched Umbra on the head as the shadow fox licked away his tears. Casey thought about what Silver said, about being happy, but he could only remember being happy around his mama. His mama was the only friend he ever had and she always took care of everything. When she left he just hadn't known how to live, and he still doesn't.

Silver smiled somewhat, if not sadly, as he watched Casey pet Umbra. "Tell you what Casey..." Silver began. "I'll come visit you... I'll bring Umbra, and Suchi, and whomever you want... And one day, you and me will take a walk near the lake. I heard it was pretty this time of year. I'll bring Suchi with us."
Strange... he originally came to this arena to fight... And it turned to a very different experience indeed. But Silver got new sight... And he hoped it made him wiser, and more thankful for what he did have.

Casey nodded and looked up at Silver. This boy was so nice, and his pokemon were all so tame. He had no idea that either nice strangers or nice pokemon even existed in the world, but here he was, petting an Umbreon and talking to Silver. Casey managed a small smile. "I think Umbra likes the idea of returning too." He said, shifting his hand to scratch Umbra behind the other ear.

"I'm sure he would." Silver said with a small grin. He then got back up , running a hand through his silver hair thoughtfully. "I would ask whomever is in charge of you first to make sure your okay with me bringing them over first though."
