Handing Volo his Togepi and telling him she was “looking for mama” and he just takes his egg daughter like “haha yeah… wait…”

Seeing Hoopa messing around with Lear and asking the creature “aw, are you playing with mama?” And he just… looks at you…

Please I’m cackling

"Are you looking for your mama?" to a Joltik. It hops up and down and lets out a chirp. You then carry it to Emmet and alert them that you have found mama. Emmet embraces it for but a moment and coos that mama is right here. You give the strange look this time.

"Do you want mama?" you ask a confused Litwick staring at Ingo on the phone. He has to pause to glance at you. There is nothing more said as he continues his call.

"Did mama lock you out?" You ask the poor, mrowing Meowth. The door to the police station opens as Nanu stares unamused. He takes the Meowth in and shuts the door. You gasp in offence.

Holding a Beldum that Steven is caring for while seeing it acting strange. "Missing mama?" you asked. It lets out a cry. Steven, who is dusting a stone nearby, has to physically pause to process that. Especially when you hand the Beldum to him.

"Mama is hungover again, isn't he?" you ask the Liepard watching Grimsley nurse a headache with coffee. He shoots a tired glance at you. Leipard lets out a meow in concurrence.

Steven gifts you a shiny Beldum and sincerely hopes you will use them. If he comes to see you with a powerful, silver Metagross, he will fall even more in love somehow.

Lance asks you to train the Dratini well, trusting this experience might be well for you both. When he finally makes it over himself, he gasps at the well-trained Dragonite that stands at your side. Truly, you must be his mate with no doubt.

Emmet stares you down intensely and holds out a Joltik. He assures you that they are well bred and perfect for competitive battling. When he finally makes it over to see you with a level 100 Joltik, he is very confused. Apparently, the spider is well feared in the Royale, however.

Ingo hands off Litiwick to you with the silent request to please use them. When he comes, he is shocked to see a Chandelure that is Mega Evolved at your side. The happy trill and spin it gives makes him genuinely tear up and yell a bravo while applauding.

N holds out the Zorua the two of you had been caring for and says that they wish to go with you. He feels bad that he must finish things up in Unova, but he is shocked to see you waiting for him at the train station in Lumiose with a Zoroark that nearly tackles him.

Grimsley gifts you a Purrloin with a chuckle. He partially just wanted to mess with you a bit, but also wondered if you would come to use the pokemon's power well. Seeing you standing with a Liepard and a high rank makes him smug when he finally makes it to Kalos.

Avery hated the very idea of you going off on your own, but he unfortunately could not take time off from his gym to attend with you. So, he gifts you a Galarian Slowpoke. He simply wishes to make sure you have a reminder of him whilst you leave him behind in Galar. Though, he is both envious and impressed to see you standing with a Galarian Slowking when he finally found some time.

Child Cyrus sadly hiding his Rotom and braving the electrical shocks.

Child Corbeau having to down so many pecha berries due to getting poisoned by his beloved friend, Venipede.

Child Lance sleeping in a straight log position alongside his Dratini.

Child Grimsley waking up because his Purrloin decided to lay herself across his face. She is loudly purring

Lance sees you already asleep in bed fairly often when he finally pulls away from his work, but the sight of you with your face buried into his pillow and clutching it so tightly... He immediately wishes to be in your arms instead.

Steven felt awful that a party he was invited to took so long, and he knew you would likely already be asleep by the time he made it home. Yet, the sight of you clinging to his pillow and resting your head atop it... He whines that it is his spot.

Corbeau was so huffy his job ran over long, but there was little he could do. He had hoped you would wait up on him. However, he dropped all that desire to instead see you holding his pillow like you typically held him. He finds himself slithering in to your hold without even waking you up.

Grisham felt awful that the Royale battles were just one after another— especially when you had been unable to join him. When he finally made it to his apartment, he spied you from across the room snuggled up into his pillow. He had pause and internally gush over the sight.

Litleo bravely lighting the burner that Grisham uses to boil his water.

Beldum watching Steven (carefully) assault a wall with a pick to dig out a shiny stone.

Joltik menacingly puffing up at someone littering on a train while Emmet approaches.

Litwick looking at the paperwork Ingo is reviewing on his laptop curiously.

Hoopa vibing with Lear in the treasure vault.

Meowth hissing at a Team Skull member trying to vandalise something while Nanu tiredly asks them not to.

Liepard slapping a button on a slot machine before Grimsley can.

Venipede wearing a mock pair of Corbeau's glasses and staring down someone who took a loan with the Syndicate while Corbeau casually threatens them.

Togepi holding the Fairy Plate and attempting a maniacal laugh. Volo stops doing that himself.

Dratini trying to stand tall wearing a cape and slithering after a Rocket member. Lance sighs at the sight. (Then has his Dragonite Hyper Beam them.)

Steven is a natural magnet for any steel or rock types. He is a lucky charm when searching for either – Though, beware, they will like him more than you. And his praise for them will not stop. He will gush endlessly over whatever pokemon has come up. (He has held an Excadrill with tears in his eyes. Such rugged build and digging capability.)

Corbeau is a magnet for Venipede. His presence draws them out, and they congregate on him like a deity. They also want pets and snacks. It seems he may frequent this area in his free time. He always has to kneel down and chat with them and pet them.

Grisham is a single mother of multiple Litleo, and he cannot even tell you how this occurred. Some from Wild Zone 17 found him and chose him. Teasing him it is because he looks like a female Pyroar will get a huff. He takes his job as their caretaker very seriously and sends out his own Pyroar to have her help raise them.
