Butterflies travel in-sects [Dying Wish]

[AshenPhoenix]

Crow stood over the little boy as he was explaining his situation. He couldn't help but wonder where his parents were and why they left him on the road like this. He studied the youngster and his things - Crow couldn't determine what he had, all of it was crammed into a little bag. Figuring he had exactly nothing worthwhile, he then locked eyes with the little moth pokemon - he's never seen it before, but seeing as it was a bug, it was probably not worth that much as well. What a waste of time.

Kent then reached out to Crow, holding a pokeball in his trembling hand. At that moment, he lost it and started cackling no worse than a Mightyena.
- Oh boo-hoo, look at you. Your whatever-illness is not my problem. But I'll take that off you! - he swiped the pokeball away and tossed it upwards once, then catching it, still laughing. - Too bad you won't need it. Adios! - he gestured the child goodbye and went ahead towards Cherrygrove, not even bothering looking back at the kid's expression.

Kent had been dreaming of the day that someone would come along to help him accomplish his dream. He knew it was a foolish one, but he knew that someday someone with a kind heart would come along, just like in all those stories on TV or in his comic books. Ma and Pa always told him to not be so trusting and to be careful, but he needed to believe that something good would come along.

So Kent had approached Crow hoping that this might be the day that he would finally find a knight in shining armor. But his face fell as he realized that Crow was not, in fact, a hero; but rather the opposite. He had played into the hands of some kind of villain. Kent was too frail and too drained of his energy from another sleepless night of coughing and retching, falling to his knees as Crow took the ball containing Scatterbug from him and sauntered off.

"Wait, no...Please, if you help me, I can give you something good! Rare items, and a Pokemon even rarer than Scatter!" Kent called out, futilely. Scatter, or Famine as she would become known as now, was one of his few friends he had in this world, and he had all but handed her off to some random Trainer. Would she be taken care of, he wondered, or would he even see her again? Kent's tears stung with tears as he was left, sobbing quietly on the side of the road with the knowledge that his dream was in danger. All of Kent's hopes and dreams rested on the idea of Crow having a change of heart and returning to honor the deal that Kent had first offered.

((OOC: Congratulations, you monster, you made the kid cry. But you got a free Pokemon, that's pretty cool.))
