CCR5 P1 - Reunion

Entry for Round 5 of the #CrystalChampionships *throws confetti* I'm DONE-! *collapses into a heap* I panicked- thinking it was due a day early- because time zones are whacked! *glares* XD

Okay- this, this was an exciting page for me! I got to design Vron's family- and yes, that is them! Father and Mother on the left, little sister on the right of Vron. <3
Anyway story time-!

*~*~*

“Please- Honey, I don’t want you to go in there-!”

Vron tried not to make a face at her mother’s tone. Averting her gaze, she reached out and petted her mother’s Psyduck, who quacked and wiggled in its owner's tightening grip. He was happy to see Vron again, who had been absent from their home for years. Her mother frowned and shook her head, “Vron, listen, it’s not safe-!”

Before Vron could respond, her father stepped in with his unwavering smile- “Don’t be like that! Our girls grew up in that cave- You know as well as I do, every Blackthorn kid snuck in when the Elder fell asleep when he was supposed to be guarding the entrance!”

Vron almost laughed aloud when her mother’s eyes grew round and watery- Apparently, she hadn’t noticed Vron and Lillith disappearing for hours on end into the dragons den. Her father’s Ursaring growled in response, as if agreeing with his trainer. Who then turned to Vron and sniffed in a way that said, ‘Welcome home,’ and Vron couldn’t help but smile. But that smile turned into a wince as Cy growled from atop of her head, and she laughed quietly as her father’s Ursaring stiffened and growled right back at the cat pokemon.

Vron’s mother had started again- her voice rising up a pitch when her family ignored her- but she was quickly cut off- “Stop it, mum! It’s fine!” Lillith, Vron’s little sister crowed, already bouncing with a pair of pom-poms she’d made to cheer her sister on. Vron grinned at her sister. She and Lillith- didn’t get on most of the time. But they agreed on one thing- that their mother was wrong to shoot down their dreams, and so they always supported each other when it came to their pokemon.

“VRON!” Vron jumped and whirled around to catch sight of Lilac- who was looking redfaced and furious. “Get over here! I bet you didn’t even hear any of the instructions!”

Vron winced- “Sorry!” she gasped, waved frantically at her family one last time before she turned to jog over to the judge, but before she could, she caught sight of Drake and Taz, both waiting patiently beside the gym, both of them watching her carefully. Taz nodded when she caught Vron’s eye, “Hey, we need to talk before you go in...”

Before she knew what she was doing, Vron was nodding; there was something about Taz’s eyes that made agree. Before she could think on it, or say a word, Lilac was next to her, holding out a bandanna and a note. As Vron listened to the grumbling judge, she couldn’t help but smile- even though her mother wasn’t pleased- The rest of her family was cheering her on. For the first time in a long time, she was starting to feel confident.
