❄ Morty is a difficult one to track down—perhaps because their city is so isolated. Relying on the postal service rather than his Pokémon still gets Steven's gift to Morty's door, at least: a small box finished off with a bow. Inside is a ring for an index finger, made up of a plain steel band, much like Steven's own... but the purple tourmaline it's studded with sets it apart. The attached note is simple: 'Perhaps your Gengar was suggesting you should have one.'
Morty is surprised to see any new gifts at all, considering that the usual ones have all arrived by this point, and she’s even more surprised to see who sent it. Of all the people…
Before anything else, she reads the note, and suddenly she’s grinning ear to ear. Oh, that was an experience, all right.
Morty opens the box gently, promptly holding the ring up to see it in the light. The light reflected on the gem…It’s beautiful. Without a moment more of hesitation, Morty slips the ring on her finger, running her fingers against it, thoroughly enjoying the smoothness of it…such a satisfying feeling.
[ 死 ]“Haha…Let’s hope Gengar doesn’t take this one, too.”
[ 死 ]Thank you so much, Steven. I’m definitely looking forward to any future encounters...
[ 死 ]...Maybe even a battle next time we meet. No, definitely a battle!
