S: on a quiet day at his home, Bulby the Bulbasaur was laying in bed, starting to deeply think about his long lost best friend Axew...he hasn't seen him in many years and the loss was hitting him hard deep inside him, he was in tears...but a good friend of his agreed to go scan aloha to hopefully find him, and it's been 3 days since then... Bulby is starting to wonder if they failed to find him and is getting more upset by the minute
L: There's a knock at the door of Bulby's home, and he can faintly hear a familiar voice - Cirrus, the one he'd sent looking. "Bulby, are you home? I've got good news for you!"
S: "H-Huh? It's cirrus!" bulby wipes a few of his tears away, and quickly heads for the front door, using his vine whip move to open it, seeing Cirrus there
L: Cirrus is in his 10% size, smiling at Bulby, though his smile fades a little once he realizes they've been crying. "Oh, you must not be having a good day... But, this ought to cheer you up. I asked around Alola, and talked to every Axew I could find... One of them said they know who you are!"
S: "Wait....what?? Your joking right? Please tell me your not joking..." bulby wasn't entirely sure if Cirrus was telling the truth, still tearing up
L: "No, I'm serious! I wouldn't lie about this, especially with how sad you already are!"
S: "W-well, don't just stand there! I wanna see him!!" bulby wipes a few more tears away
L: "Alright, get onto me, we'll head straight there!" Cirrus floats up a bit to get room, and mist briefly surrounds him as he switches to full size. He then lays down on the ground so Bulby can get on him.
S: bulby then slowly gets onto Cirrus, hoping he'll finally be able to meet up with his long lost bestie
L: Cirrus flies up into the air, and starts heading straight for Alola, looking forward to seeing the two friends meet up.
S: eventually, they reach Alola...bulby silently hoping Cirrus is telling the truth and that he actaully found the Axew he deeply misses
L: Cirrus descends down to not far above ground level. "Alright, they should be around here, I found them a few hours ago..."
Below the two, an axew has noticed Cirrus, and gives him a wave, though they haven't noticed Bulby yet.
S: bulby looks around and then sees the Axew, my eyes widening
"T-there! I see them!!" bulby immediately jumps down off of cirrus and lands in front of the Axew
L: The axew's eyes go wide too. "B-Bulby!" He runs to them and hugs them tight, tearing up a little from happiness. "It's been so long!"
S: "Axew?! It's really you!!! I don't believe it!!" bulby hugs Axew back tightly, his tears of sadness slowly turning into tears of joy
L: Cirrus returns to his 10% size, smiling as he watches the reunion.
Axew: "When that dragon mentioned your name, I almost thought it was too good to be true... But you're really here!"
S: "I thought it was too good to be true as well! But yeah I'm here and your here! Oh my gosh! Let's never lose each other again!" still tearing up emotionally bulby tightly hugs axew again
L: Axew: "Yeah, now that you can come here, you can visit whenever you want! That's great!" He hugs Bulby again as well, still crying a little too.
S: bulby gets so emotional from seeing axew after so long a constant flow of happy tears streams down his face as he continues to hug his bestie tight
"Thank you...c-cirrus...for reuniting me with my bestie, none of this would have been possible without your help! We have a ton of catching up to do Axew!"
L: Axew: "We have so much to talk about, yeah! Thanks, Cirrus!"
Cirrus: "No problem, guys! I can help you hang out whenever you want!"
S: "Awesome! Well, tell me Axew...w-what have you been up to buddy?"
L: Axew: "So much! I've made new friends, gotten a lot better at holding my breath, I even found some treasure on a dive one time!"
S: "Huh?! That's awesome!! I'm jealous... I've gotten better at holding my breath too, I wonder if we're still close like it's always been..."
L: "Well, only one way to check, right? Let's have ourselves our breath holding contest somewhere!"
S: "Oh its on!! I know I'm gonna still win! Hehe!"
L: Cirrus: "I can bring you guys to the ocean for that if you want, that won't be far."
Axew: "Yep, that'll work!"
S: "Totally! That'll be great! But we better get ourselfs some goggles first, I left mine at home since I didn't expect this so soon"
L: Axew: "And I've gotta get mine too..."
Cirrus: "Bulby, want me to fly back real quick and get yours for you?"
S: "Yes I would appreciate that, thank you! Yes axew I still carry those red goggles around, never got rid of them! Hehe"
L: Cirrus: "Right, I'll be back in maybe... Half an hour or so." He floats up into the air and flies off.
Axew: "I've still got my old ones too! I bet you still look just as good in yours!"
S: "Really? That's awesome! Yeah I bet you still look good in yours too!"
L: "Well, we'll just have to see... Wait here, I won't be long." Axew runs off, and a few minutes later returns carrying a pair of green goggles. "Alright, I'm back!"
S: "Alright! Nice you still got those green ones! Cant wait to see them on you again!"
L: "Yep, here we go..." Axew puts his goggles on, looking a fair bit cuter. "So, do they still look good on me?"
S: bulby's mouth drops open a bit
"Oh my goodness... I thought I would never see you in a pair of goggles again, you still look so good and cute with them on! Eeee I love it!!!"
L: "Haha, I bet I'll think the same once you've got yours on too!"
S: "Hehe, I sure hope so! Just gotta wait for Cirrus to come back with my goggles"
L: After having been away for a little less than half an hour, Cirrus returns, floating down to give Bulby his goggles. "Okay, looks like we're just about ready now."
S: "Nice! Thanks Cirrus!" bulby takes his red goggles and smiles at Axew
"Alright here we go" he then uses his vine whip to put the goggles over his eyes, looking very much cuter as well
"Well? Still good? Hehe"
L: Axew: "Yep, you still look great with yours! Man, I've missed seeing you with those on..."
S: bulby giggles cutely
"You and me both my friend, we're both too adorable in these goggles! Anyways, now we're ready for that breath holding contest, that I'm gonna win at!"
L: Cirrus floats to the ground so the two can get on him. "Let's get going, then!"
Axew hops onto Cirrus' back. "Man, flying is gonna be so cool!"
S: bulby hops onto cirrus' back too
"It sure is cool! Hehe!"
L: Cirrus: "Alright, hang on!" He flies up into the air and starts heading for the ocean.
Axew excitedly looks around. "Woah, this is AWESOME!"
S: bulby looks around as well
"Yeah! Flying is pretty awesome! I like this!! Hehe!"
L: Axew stays just as happy for the whole flight, then Cirrus lands on a beach.
Cirrus: "And, we're here."
Axew: "Aw, alright... Heh, kinda want to fly more!" He hops off Cirrus.
S: "Me too, heh...but we've got a contest to do!" bulby hops off cirrus as well
"I'm telling you Axew, I'm gonna win this! No doubt about it! ;)"
L: Axew: "Well, we'll just see about that!" He winks back as he starts wading into the water.
Cirrus returns to 10% size as he follows them. "I'll be coming with you guys. Once you need to surface, wave at me and I'll get you right back up. Or just swim up on your own, but don't push yourselves too far."
S: bulby giggles
"Alrighty!" bulby starts to wade into the water with Axew, smiling the whole time as he finally gets to swim with his bestie after so many years
L: Axew starts to swim on the surface, taking deep breaths as he does. "Still remember this trick, even after all this time."
S: "Ha! I do too!" bulby starts to take some deep breathes as well, determined to win against his bestie
L: Cirrus, after a little while: "Alright, I'll count you guys down. 3...2...1... Go!"
Axew takes one more breath and dives under.
S: at the same time, bulby takes a last breath and dives under with Axew, using his previous strategies when they do this and letting his body sink underwater instead of swimming down
L: Just like Bulby, Axew lets himself sink, saving his energy. Cirrus sinks alongside the two, watching them.
S: bulby uses his vine whip move to pinch his nose shut, something axew has never seen before, closing his eyes and just relaxing, getting a little closer to Axew
L: Axew quickly gets the idea to pinch his own nose as well, and he closes his eyes as he focuses on relaxing too.
S: bulby's cheeks lightly puff with air as they sink down deeper and deeper, barely any bubbles being released from his mouth
L: Axew's cheeks are puffed a bit too. This part of the ocean is fairly deep, but the trio eventually settle onto the bottom about 30 feet down.
S: opening his eyes a bit, bulby notices they reached the bottom, smiling at how cute Axew looks while being underwater before sitting down next to him and closing his eyes again to relax, not even a red blush on his face
L: Glancing over, Axew notices Bulby next to him. He smiles, shifting just a little closer before closing his eyes again.
Cirrus smiles at the sight of the two sitting together.
S: Bulby and Axew sit so close together they can practically feel their bodies touching each other, which causes a faint little blush to form on bulby's face, from that and his slight need to breathe, but he makes no move to surface, instead he just rests his little head against axew's, still knowing it's a contest but is feeling peace and contentment with his bestie as he let's a couple of bubbles loose from his mouth
L: Axew is perfectly calm, blushing just a tiny bit like Bulby is as he lets his head rest against Bulby's. While this is definitely still a contest, Axew is content to just stay here for a while.
S: bulby smiles even more, continuing to relax with his bestie... he wraps an arm around axew, still giving a determined look as he wants to win this
L: Axew gives a determined smile back, putting an arm around Bulby as well. He's feeling an urge to breathe, for sure, but it'll be a while before it's an issue.
S: bulby is also feeling the same urge to breathe, but doesn't care for the moment, not only determined to win, but to just spend quality time with him bestie, he nuzzles him a little before going back to relaxing, small bubbles loose from his mouth
L: Axew closes his eyes again, focusing on staying calm. His urge to breathe is very slowly getting more intense over the minutes...
Cirrus is still perfectly fine, continuing to watch the two.
S: bulby is doing a bit better then Axew is, but isn't far ahead as his own need starts to grow as well, continuing to pinch his nose shut with his vine whip move
L: Still holding his own nose as well, Axew finally grunts a little for the first time from his need to breathe.
S: hearing the grunt made bulby smirk, he hasn't grunted once from his own need as he's still going pretty strong
L: Axew starts to feel a little less confident because of that, but he's certainly not about to give up, still determined to win.
S: bulby gives axew a little side hug to encourage him to keep going, his face slowly growing more red overtime, a total of 7 minutes they have been underwater, and now a very quiet grunt of strain can finally be heard from bulby
L: Axew's blush is a bit bigger than Bulby's, but he hugs them back, helping to calm himself down some.
S: bulby tries to stay relaxed as his own blush continues to form, letting more bubbles loose over time as we approach the double digits, 11 in total
L: Now with an entirely red face, Axew's chest is heaving, and he looks up at the surface for a moment... Before closing his eyes again, still unwilling to give up.
S: noticing Axew's red face, bulby starts to grow worried for his buddy, but he knows this is a contest so he doesn't think too much of it, bulby's chest hasn't heaved yet as it was less red then Axew's
L: Over time, Axew occasionally squirms in place a bit, gradually getting more and more restless.
Cirrus gets a bit closer to the two, staying ready to help if someone asks.
S: eventually bulby felt his own chest heave finally, his whole face red too as he grunts a bit louder in strain, getting a bit restless as well
L: Axew begins to lose bubbles from his mouth every now and then, soon covering it to prevent that. His face is starting to get a very slight blue tint.
S: bulby covers his own mouth too to keep from losing bubbles, his face still fully red for now
L: There's beginning to be little whines from Axew now, and he looks over at Bulby every now and then, trying to judge how soon they'll be giving up.
S: hearing the whines, bulby gets a bit more concerned, but shakes it off as his own face is slightly blue now, he's still not gonna give up and he hopes axew will give up soon enough
L: Axew's cheeks get a bit bigger in his struggles, and his lungs are beginning to burn at this point. He tightly shuts his eyes, trying to keep holding on...
S: bulby's own cheeks get a bit bigger too, he's not struggling as much as Axew but he is slowly getting there, but he's more concerned for Axew more then anything as he finally whimpers from his need to breathe
L: After another minute more, as Axew's face starts turning purple... He can't handle it any more, and jumps off the bottom to bolt for the surface!
Cirrus floats up a bit to watch and make sure they'll be fine.
S: bulby notices that Axew is surfacing, and he gives a happy bubbly noise, his own face is not even fully blue yet, so he chooses to wait until axew surfaces
L: Axew doesn't care that he's going to lose like this, continuing to frantically swim for the surface. He thankfully gets there in time, letting out a huge gasp and coughing a few times as he pants.
S: bulby is relieved that Axew made it up ok, having not wanting to watch him drown, he then makes his way up to the surface himself after Axew surfaced, and eventually he does surface himself, gasping a bit heavily and panting a bit
"Hah....hah...hah, haha! I beat you Axew! I've still got it! Good effort tho!"
L: Axew, still panting: "S-so close... Hah, hah... G-guess you've gotten better too!"
Cirrus surfaces alongside the two. "That got pretty close! Thanks for not going too far with it."
S: "I definitely would have been sad seeing Axew drown so I'm glad he didn't push it that far, I told you I've gotten better! I tried to warn you! Hehe!"
L: Axew: "Yeah... Well, I'll just have to do even more practice now! I'll beat you at one of these, I know it!"
S: "Heh, sure buddy...sure, but that was relaxing for a while, I quite enjoyed our time down there!"
L: Axew: "Early on, yeah, that was really nice! We should relax underwater like that more often!"
Cirrus: "Looked pretty nice to me too!"
S: "Oh totally! That'll be great! Got me all blushy when I saw our close we were, that shows how close we are as buddies!"
L: Axew: "Yep, sure does! Think I want a break for now though, gotta rest my lungs for a while."
Cirrus: "How about I fly you guys back for now?"
Axew: "Oh, that'd be great!"
S: "Yeah sure! Gotta rest mine too...but first..." bulby smirks a bit before he playfully dunks Axew back underwater, even holding him under there for a good few seconds before releasing him, it was always something playful he would do to his buddy, he giggles too
L: Axew surfaces with a little gasp, before laughing as well, dunking Bulby for a few seconds too.
S: "Blbl!!!" bulby wasn't expecting that, and surfaces once he's able to with a little gasp of his own, laughing
"Ah! You got me too!"
L: Axew: "Haha, guess we're equal in that at least!" He gives Bulby a happy hug.
S: bulby hugs axew back happily, wagging his little tail before smirking again
"Oh really? Hehehe...." bulby dunks Axew back under again! Laughing out loud as he does
L: Axew surfaces again and goes to dunk Bulby again in response, but before he can, Cirrus dunks both of them!
Cirrus: "What do you think of THAT?" He has a mischievous grin.
S: "Blbl!!!" bulby DEFINITELY wasn't expecting that! He comes back once he can with a gasp
"Hey!!!! Not cool!" bulby couldn't help but giggle a bit, he turns to Axew when he surfaced with a smirk and whispers
"Let's get him!"
L: Axew nods after he surfaces, smirking as well.
Cirrus: "What are you two planning?"
Axew: "Oh, nothing..." He rushes forward to grab at Cirrus!
S: bulby does as well, and they both managed to drag cirrus underwater playfully, giggling mischievously
"Gotcha!! Hahaha!"
L: Cirrus struggles beneath the two for a few seconds before Axew decides that's enough and lets go.
Cirrus surfaces after that, spitting out some water. "...Well, I suppose that's fair, heh."
S: bulby let's go as well when it was time
"Hehehe!!!! Hey, you dunked us...so you get dunked back! That's just how it works around here!" bulby sticks his tongue out at cirrus and giggles
L: Axew: "Yep, can't just let you get away with it!"
Cirrus: "Suppose we're pretty much even now!"
S: "Yep...for now" bulby winks and smirks
L: Cirrus: "Anyway..." He goes to full size again. "Hop on, and I'll bring you guys back with me."
Axew climbs onto Cirrus' back. "Can't wait to fly again!"
S: "Me too!" bulby climbs onto Cirrus' back as well, giggling happily
L: Cirrus floats up into the air again and starts heading back to where the group had met up.
Axew: "This is still so cool!"
S: "Wheeee!!! It sure is!" bulby hugs axew again and smiles adoringly at him
L: Axew happily hugs Bulby back.
Cirrus: "I'm not all that familiar with Alola, so... Axew, you know any good spots to hang out at?"
Axew: "We could always just go to my house, if you guys want?"
S: "I be fine with that! I bet your parents are gonna be shocked when they see me!"
L: Cirrus: "Same here! Just point me in the right direction."
Axew: "Yep, um... That house there!" Axew points at his house, and Cirrus changes course to go there.
S: eventually they get there and once cirrus settles down, bulby hops off of him, he had put his goggles away by now too
L: Axew gets off as well, having put his goggles away, and Cirrus goes to 10% size.
Cirrus: "I'll come by again later to get you back home, alright Bulby?"
S: "Ok Cirrus, thanks" he smiles before turning to Axew
"Alright, let's go inside and see your parents reactions and all, hehe"
L: Axew: "Yep! They're gonna be so surprised to see you again!"
Cirrus gives the two a wave and flies off, while Axew leads Bulby into his home.
S: bulby knocks on the door, excited to see Axew's parents after so long
"This ought to be good! Hehe!"
L: Before too long, a haxorus opens the door - Axew's dad. "Wait... Bulby! I certainly didn't expect to see you!"
Axew: "Yeah, a friend helped him find me again!"
S: "Yeah! And now me and axew are reunited with each other!" bulby smiles cutely at Axew and giggles
L: Haxorus: "Come in, guys! Axew's mom will want to see this too!"
Axew: "Yeah, of course!" He heads in, gesturing for Bulby to follow.
S: "Alright!" bulby follows him inside
Axew's mom, a goodra... turns around and sees Axew and Bulby, her eyes widening at bulby
Goodra - "Whoa...is that Bulby??? No way!"
L: Axew: "Yep! We've finally met up again!"
Haxorus: "Honestly, I felt awful about you losing him, Axew... I'm really glad he happened to come by."
S: "I was tearing up for Axew when he cried for the first few days without his bestie... but we had to make the move... we didn't have a choice...
Bulby - "Awww... you were crying too Axew? I'm sure you were"
L: Axew: "I was, yeah... Honestly, I was thinking about you earlier today, and almost ended up crying again... But now, you can come visit pretty much whenever you want!"
S: "Oh wow... I was thinking about you too and was crying up a storm...but now I'm happy that I'll be able to come see you whenever you want, and with Cirrus' fast traveling I could get here in seconds to see you!" bulby tightly hugs axew again
Goodra - "Is this...Cirrus character the one who brought bulby here?"
L: Axew hugs Bulby again. "He is! He's a dragon, and he flew Bulby here! He can go SUPER fast too!"
Haxorus: "Think I'd like to meet him next time he's around."
S: "Same here, he sounds interesting!"
Bulby - "Cool! Oh and, me and Axew had a breath holding contest earlier in the ocean before we came here...and I won! I'm the champion! Haha!"
L: Axew: "It came fairly close, but yeah, he won that."
Haxorus: "You've been doing a lot of practice, too... Well, at least it wasn't by that much."
S: Goodra - "Wow...hehe, honey...you wouldn't be able to beat your own son or bulby in that breath holding stuff, you probably would lose miserably!"
Bulby - "Wait what?"
L: Haxorus: "Oh, yes I could beat them, I just don't want them to feel bad..."
Axew: "Then how about you join in next time, if you're so confident?"
S: "Yeah! If your saying you could beat us I like to see some proof!"
Goodra - "Oooh, I smell a challenge...maybe I'll have to get in on the action so I can sweep all 3 of you!"
L: Haxorus: "I suppose it's settled then, we'll all head out sometime to see who wins that overall!"
Axew: "Looking forward to beating all of you!"
S: Bulby - "Sorry Axew but that's not gonna happen! I'm gonna be the true champion this time"
Goodra - "We'll just see about that..." Axew's mom smirks
L: Axew: "For now though, think I want to just hang out with Bulby."
Haxorus: "I'm sure you're a bit tired after the first contest, yeah."
S: Bulby - "Yeah I agree, I'm pretty tired myself..."
Goodra - "Well go on ahead and rest then, I'm sure you both will be talking to each other for hours like you always do, heh"
L: Axew: "Haha, yep! We've got so much to talk about! And Cirrus will be coming back later, so you two can talk to him then."
Haxorus: "Alright, let us know when he comes by."
S: Goodra - "Mmhm"
Bulby - "Will do! Alright Axew let's go talk!"
L: Axew: "Yep, we've still got a lot of catching up to do!"
S: "We sure do! Go on show me your room! I bet it still looks cool!"
L: "Right, yeah! It's this way!" Axew leads Bulby to his room. Sure enough, it looks fairly similar to how it'd been before Axew had moved away, with pretty much all the same stuff.
S: "Coool! It's still the same things! This room is giving me a bit nostalgia because we would spend so many hours laughing and chatting in this room"
L: "Yep, set it all up pretty much the same. And I bet we're gonna be spending a ton more time in here, too!"
S: "I can't wait!" bulby hops up to sit on Axew's bed, patting a space next to him for axew
L: Axew hops up as well, sitting next to Bulby. "So... Man, where do we even start?"
S: "I have no idea! There's so much that my brain is all cramped with questions I wanna know the answers to, hehe!"
L: "Well, what's Cirrus like first of all? I didn't really get much chance to talk to him."
S: "Well...he's an eastern dragon and he's been around for a long time, longer then us for sure... apparently he was a fish at first and got turned into a dragon"
L: "He was a FISH? That is WEIRD... Well, he's definitely the friendliest ex-fish I've met! Unless... Were you a fish at some point?"
S: "Me?! Now why would I be a fish?? No I wasn't a fish!" bulby laughs at that
L: Axew laughs as well. "I know you weren't, I'm just messing with you!"
S: "Oh Axew, you and your jokes! Haha! That never gets old" bulby playfully pats axew's back and giggles
L: "Haha, I've really missed getting to do that with you!" Axew gives Bulby a hug.
S: "Same here!" Bulby hugs Axew back
they both continue to talk and laugh with each other for a long while
L: Just like old times, hours pass as the two talk together. Almost too soon, it's getting late.
Axew happens to notice the time. "Oh, Cirrus is probably gonna be here soon..."
S: "Oh your right! Man we've must have been talking for a long time! Let's go see if he's here yet!"
bulby heads out of axew's place, hoping cirrus will be here
L: Axew follows them out, and coincidentally, Cirrus is just arriving!
Cirrus flies down from the sky in front of the two. "Hey guys! Hope I didn't keep you waiting too long."
S: "Nope you didn't! Actually axew's parents wanna come and meet ya!"
L: Axew: "Right, I almost forgot! Give me a minute!" He runs inside to tell his parents Cirrus has arrived, and he soon returns with them.
Haxorus' eyes go wide as he looks over Cirrus, who is at their full size. "Woah... You must be Cirrus, then?"
Cirrus: "Yep, I am. Nice to meet you two!"
S: Goodra - "Whoa... you look cool! It's nice to meet you too Cirrus!"
Bulby - "Yep! That's Cirrus alright! He's a very cool dragon and very chill as well! I really like him as a friend!"
L: Axew: "Yeah, I haven't known him very long, but I can already tell he's really nice!"
Haxorus: "I'm definitely glad that's the case, with him being so big."
Cirrus: "My size tends to be a bit intimidating, yeah... I could go smaller if you want."
S: Goodra - "Wait...you could be smaller?!"
Bulby - "Oh yeah I forgot he has the power to shrink down to be much smaller!"
L: Cirrus: "Yep, I can!" Mist briefly surrounds him as he changes to 10% size.
Haxorus: "Oh wow! Yep, certainly not as intimidating any more!"
Axew: "Apparently he can go even smaller, he just doesn't do that very often. He told me about it when we first met."
S: Goodra - "That's really cool!"
Bulby - "Here's something I recently learned about Cirrus, apparently if you touch him when he starts to shrink, you can actaully shrink down with him!"
Goodra - "Whaaaaa????? Now THERE'S something I don't believe"
L: Haxorus: "There's no way, yeah..."
Cirrus: "It's true! I actually only recently discovered it myself, too. I can only get someone to 10% of their normal size, and I think they have to be willing, but I can do it." He holds out a hand for Bulby to take so he can show it off.
Axew: "This'll be so cool if it's for real..."
S: Bulby - "Yeah I actaully kind of don't believe it myself since I've never seen it, but let's give it a try!" bulby then takes Cirrus' hand
Goodra - "This should be good"
L: The mist returns, this time covering Bulby as well. Once it clears, Cirrus is even smaller, and Bulby has shrunk to 10% of his normal size!
Cirrus: "Told you!"
Haxorus kneels down to get a better look. "...Well. I really didn't think this would be real..."
Axew: "Aw, you guys are so cute when you're so small!"
S: bulby blushes at that
"Wow! It actually did work! I'm a little smaller now!"
goodra kneels down as well
Goodra - "I agree with you axew, they are cute like this! This is a pretty cool I won't lie!"
L: Cirrus: "Like I told Axew, I don't typically go this small. I've gotten trapped in things before at this size, and I can't grow again if there isn't room. So, I only really do it if I know it's safe."
Haxorus: "That's a good idea, for sure. I don't do well with tight spaces, myself..."
Axew: "Neither do I... But it's definitely pretty safe right now!"
S: "I don't do well in tight areas either, I'm pretty claustrophobic"
Bulby - "I dont either...but at least it's safe now! Oh and Cirrus told me he should be able to get me back to normal too using the same method"
L: Cirrus: "Yep, it works going the other way too." He holds onto Bulby again, and after the mist briefly returns again, Bulby is at their normal size again, while Cirrus is back at 10%.
Axew: "Okay, good, Bulby's not gonna be stuck being tiny..." He laughs a little.
S: bulby laughs a bit too
"Hehe nope! Thank arceus..."
Goodra - "That's quite cool, heh...well it's was awesome to meet you cirrus!"
L: Cirrus: "It was nice to meet you all too! For now though, think it's about time I helped Bulby get back home." After getting some room, he returns to full size, laying on the ground and waiting for Bulby.
Axew: "See you, Bulby! We're gonna have even more fun next time!" He gives Bulby one last hug.
Haxorus: "And I'll make sure to get some practice for our upcoming breath holding contest, just to be safe."
S: "Same here!"
bulby looks at cirrus with a tearful look, then looks at Axew
Bulby - "I-i....I don't wanna go back home so soon... I wanna stay with Axew.... I don't wanna be lonely..." he whimpers sadly
L: Axew: "Same here... But I have to go to bed soon..."
Haxorus seems to be thinking about something... He whispers to Goodra. "Maybe we could let Bulby stay the night?"
S: goodra whispers back
Goodra - "I think that's a great idea, they deserve to be with each other, even at bedtime"
bulby continues to whimper, having not heard what Haxorus and Goodra said
L: Haxorus nods, then looks over at Bulby. "Hey, Bulby... How would you like to stay over tonight?"
Axew: "Wait, for real!?"
S: Bulby - "...huh?! A-are you serious?! Yes!! Yes I love to stay the night!! That'll be awesome!"
L: Haxorus: "Alright then! I'll get out a spare mattress, unless you two want to sleep in the same bed?"
Axew: "Not entirely sure... What do you think, Bulby?"
Cirrus: "I think it'd be cute if you did, but yeah, up to you guys."
S: bulby blushed shyly
"I don't think I would mind if i slept in the same bed with you Axew, I'll definitely help scare my nightmares away for sure"
L: Axew: "Yeah, I think that'd be nice! Man, it's so cool we finally get to have a sleepover again!"
Cirrus: "Well, I suppose I'll see you guys tomorrow then! Bulby, I'll come pick you up at, maybe... 4 PM?"
S: "Sure Cirrus, and yeah I'm excited to have a sleepover again! I'll be great!"
Goodra - "Well come on in boys so you guys can start the sleepover"
L: Cirrus: "Alright, see you then!"
Axew: "Bye, Cirrus!" Cirrus flies off after that, and Axew excitedly leads Bulby back inside to his room.
S: Bulby - "Bye!" bulby happily follows axew back to his room
L: Axew: "It's pretty much bedtime for me at this point anyway, so... Hopefully we can get ourselves comfortable!" He hops onto his bed again and gets under the blankets.
S: Bulby follows and gets under the blankets with him, wrapping an arm around him
"Wow, I forgot how soft your bed was, it's so cozy"
L: "Yep, still the same one!" Axew puts an arm around Bulby as well, yawning a bit. "Man, after all the excitement of today, I'm really tired..."
S: bulby yawns a bit too
"Yeah, I'm really tired myself...let's get a goodnight sleep and we can have even more fun tomorrow!"
L: "I'll show you around Alola tomorrow, there's a lot of cool stuff I've found! But, for now, good night!"
S: "Cool! Can't wait to see it! Good night buddy!"
bulby hugs Axew one more time, keeping his arm around Axew before closing his eyes and drifting off to sleep
L: Axew closes his eyes, still holding Bulby, and soon falls asleep as well, looking forward to spending more time with them tomorrow.
