I will travel across the land [Dying Wish quest]

[Jenesis]

Through a garden, up in a tree, at the side of a river... Trixie's head was swimming as she tried to keep track of all the places that Professor Elm had told her to go find Pokemon. After a few days of muddling about she had decided to sling April under one arm, and point her Pokedex at anything the turtle let out a startle at. A random rustle of the bushes could just be the wind... but it could also be a Pokemon!

Someone coughed. "Bless you!" Trixie said on reflex.

When she turned to look, Pokedex still waving in front of her, she would see... two Pokemon, sitting next to a boy. It wouldn't do to try to catch those; they seemed pretty clearly owned by him, after all. He lifted his face to her with a smile, and she walked over to him, setting down April, who immediately scrambled away from the larger-looking bug. "I'm Trixie, a new trainer. You've got some cool Pokemon there! What's your name?"

So his name was Kent, and... she winced when he coughed again. "Where are your parents? Why don't they take you to see a doctor?" There was harshness in her voice. Her parents had always been on top of things whenever anyone in the household was feeling under the weather, having a doctor on-call. Their nanny was also trained as a nurse and... oh. She frowned, feeling slightly embarrassed. Medications cost money, just like Potions did. This poor kid. Maybe they just couldn't afford it.

The kid kept on talking, asking Trixie if she could bring him one of every type of Vivillon. She checked her Pokedex. "Shouldn't be too hard, there's just..." One, two, three, five, so many different patterns! Twenty in all. And a couple of them were really frilly and frou-frou, but there were others that looked cool, like that Ocean one!

Still... the time it would take to go raising all those Pokemon...

Kent could tell that she wasn't convinced. Then he showed her a stash of items that he had in trade, and even offered her his own Scatterbug to bring along on her journey, at least until the search was complete. Normally she wouldn't be much for charity - Mother said that as much as she felt bad about it, too many people were just taking advantage of it to be lazy - but if the boy was offering a fair trade, that didn't count, right? "Yeah. I can do it. You just sit tight and count on me!"

It was a windy day but otherwise it was the day with the best weather in weeks! Kent was thrilled he had finally been allowed outside, it felt like ages since he had felt fresh air in the face, and even longer since he had last managed to convince his overprotective parents to leave him alone for just a few minutes.
It was limited what Kent could do, sitting in his chair and in a big warm jacket and with blankets wrapped around him, but he could watch and he enjoyed seeing the wild pokemon go around. And dream of traveling like a real trainer, even though he knew it probably never would happen.

A girl came wandering and doing just what Kent dreamed of, he tried to be silent so she wouldn't notice him. He was tired of getting nothing but pity by anyone around him, but of course one of his many coughs decided to come out just then, and she turned and saw him.
He smiled weakly to her when she greeted him and it widened when her first comment was about his pokemon.
He presented himself, which took some time due to him coughing, which of course got Trixie's attention.

Kent pulled a face when Trixie asked to his parents and the doctor.
"I finally got my parents to give me a bit of me-time," he said with a grin, parents often talked about that he knew, "And don't talk about doctors, I saw one yesterday and was in the hospital last week, they just can't remove my coughing," he said and shrugged. He didn't really know what was wrong, but he knew it worried his parents and that he probably wouldn't be as old as many others, so better get the best of what he had!
"I certainly don't get enough apples, if you get what I mean," He joked and coughed again.

He quickly turned his attention back to his pokemon instead, much more fun to talk about than his health, which was the main topic in his house. Especially all the forms his scatterbug could get he found really amazaing.
"I really wish I could see them all, would you mind come by and showing me if you see some?" He asked hopefully, knowing the changes probably was slim, but they were bigger than if he didn't ask.
He grinned wide when she counted the amount.
"Yeah! *Cough* It's really awesome!" He exclaimed eagerly, "I can let you start*cough* with mine! Then you just need to *cough* evolve her!" He said eagerly, he might get a chance to see some vivillons in real life!
I rummaged below his blankets and pulled some items out.
"I can also *cougcough* give you something as *cough* thanks," he added, "They are *coughcough* the best *cough* of the best, which *cough* a boy staying at *cough* can get his *cough* hands on!" He added with another grin but then a coughing fit overtook him. He began to look tired from it and certainly couldn't talk much more. He gulped down some water to ease it and waved goodbye to Trixie and his former scatterbug.

How long had it been? Trixie wasn't even sure at this point, but in all the time spent on her journey, she hadn't forgotten about Kent. So it was that she made the trek back to New Bark Town, Pokeball in hand, and hoped that the boy would still be well enough to welcome her inside at that point. Kent wasn't outside when she arrived at the house. Fortunately, his mother greeted her at the door, and after a few moments, she could hear light snatches of conversation drifting through the house. The boy eventually staggered out into the living room, older, with a pale smile, but most importantly still alive and kicking. Kent's mother brought Trixie a glass of iced tea, and she recounted brief shares of her adventures to Kent while she enjoyed the refreshment from the hot day.

"Sorry for the wait. I've been working hard on raising Scatterbugs, and I've got something for you." Trixie held out the Pokeball and let him open it. A blue-and-brown-winged butterfly Pokemon emerged into the room, looking around at her unfamiliar surroundings.

"Her name is Rivvi," Trixie said. "She hatched from one of Meavi's eggs. She's playful, but also good-natured; she won't stray far from you. Rivvi, this boy loves Bug Pokemon, and he's going to be your new trainer now." The Vivillon would flit closer to Kent, cautiously extending one feeler to reach for the boy's hand, and to be pet in turn.

"Hi! I knew I could count on you," Kent said and while he tried to sound confident, the relief was clear in his voice, "see?! I told you she would be back!" He reassured his mom who tiredly agreed with him. Kent looked better than last time Trixie saw him, although he clearly was still not healthy, for once he barely coughed at all.
His mother looked like she could need to sleep for at least a week if not more. She clearly wasn't really listening to what Trixie told, but the trainer had a very eager listener in the kid, who lapped all her stories up like milk and asked her a ton of questions about them.

He practically looked like a normal kid when Trixie presented him the pokeball, bouncing up and down in his chair, barely being able to contain himself. His mom became a bit more alert and smiled at the sight of him, sadness lingered in the corner of her eye though.
"Look mom! Look! It's happening! I'm going to see one, I can't wait!" He blabbered excitedly as he cradled the pokeball. "Then what are you waiting for?" His mother chuckled lightly and while holding his breath, Kent gently pushed the button with one finger. The pokeball sprung open and Kent watched in awe as the red light formed like a butterfly and then revealed Rivvi.
"Woah, she's amazing," Kent whispered in wonder, staring transfixed at the vivillon in front of him.
"She's a river pattern, right?" He asked for confirmation and then blinked, "wait, did you say Maevi have had babies?! This is one of her babies?! Did you hear that mom?! Maevi has become a mom!" He exclaimed excited and jumped from his chair.
His mom was on her feet instantly and rushed to his side and tried to coax him to sit down again, but he didn't notice, captivated by the pretty pokemon in front of him. He began pouring out with all kinds of information he had read about the vivillons, a lot of it Trixie probably already knew. Then he remembered he had promised to reward her for her work, and the staggered out of his room, with his mom following, trying to convince him to sit down and let her fetch what he was after, he stubbornly staggered on.
It was first after having found some stuff and had handed them over to Trixie, that his mom finally got him to sit down again.
The mother sent Trixie a grateful smile, it was rare she got to see her son so full of life and happy.

Bug Catcher Kent has now see 1 new vivillon pattern, and he rewards Trixie with the following:
