[10 out of 20] Trigun Stampede/Pokémon : clear waters
Title: clear waters
Fandom: Trigun Stampede / Pokémon
Characters: Vash and his Pokémon
Words: 331
Rating: G
Prompt: Ocean
Summary: Vash puts his feet in the water. (Based on the brief time I played Vash in a DWRP game.)
AO3 Link
Water is for drinking. It’s scarce and often dirty. Vash isn’t supposed to be standing ankle deep in it, feet sinking into the shore’s wet sand. It’s surreal to look forward and see nothing but water, twinkling and blue, meeting the clear sky along the horizon.
Vash breathes in the alien salty air. No part of his arrival and stay in Johto has felt real. Strangers are friendly—as they typically are, in his optimistic opinion—and no one is out to get him here. No law enforcement, no Knives, no…anyone. There’s no one familiar, friend or family or foe.
Breaking his thoughts is his Oddish kicking up water into his Skitty’s face, earning her a swat in the air from his paw. Vash chuckles and crouches down to their level. He rests a hand on each of their heads, petting them both gently through leaves and fur.
“C’mon, now, let’s play nice, here,” he coos.
After receiving affirmative noises from both of his Pokémon, Vash stands back up and sighs as he falls back into his thoughts. What are his friends up to? What is Knives up to? He was told over the PokéGear that time back home would be paused while he’s in Johto, but he has trouble coming to terms with that, comforting as the thought tries to be.
The ocean…Vash couldn’t remember the name for a large body of water—he had to ask a Cherrygrove City local. The ocean is beautiful. Desert sun and desert sand are very different from the sun and sand of a clean beach.
A wave of water hits higher up on Vash’s legs, reaching the bottom of his pants he already pulled up earlier. The soaked fabric is uncomfortable, the sensation of cold and wet new to his skin, but Vash doesn’t move or readjust his pants again. He digs his toes into the sand, takes a deep breath.
Can he really afford to be at peace like this?
