This choice: Mawile seems… rather smug? • Go Back...Chapter #6A Smug Partner by: Ponymon   Very quickly, Mawile’s unreadable expression of confusion turned into a look of smug amusement. Coyly, she put a hand under her chin and muttered her name under her breath. Apparently, Mawile was entertained by your little predicament rather than concerned. Part of you totally expected this, Mawile and you did have a sort of vitriolic relationship, even as partner and trainer. But, even though it was hard to spot, you could still see a gleam of concern in Mawile’s eyes that made it clear you were safe with her.
“Hey Boss, you look different. Did you change something while you were gone?” Mawile asked sarcastically.
“You are totally enjoying this, aren’t you?” You ask Mawile with a laugh.
Mawile shook her free hand slightly.
“Just a little huh?” You say skeptically. “Then why are you trying not to laugh?”
“Mawile?” The giantess asked, a corner of her mouth clearly twitching upward.
“I can’t always understand what you’re saying, but I can read your expressions. Just admit that you like this.”
“Well… it’s not exactly something I’ll complain about.” Mawile let her poorly hidden smile make itself known.
“I knew it. I just hope you don’t enjoy this too much.”
“I’ll try not to look as pleased as I really am all the time.”
Realizing it would probably be better for you, Mawile let go of her grip around you and left you standing on her open palm. She chuckled at the sight, but it quickly became a resigned sigh.
“Maw… Mawile, wile?” Your partner seemed curious.
“You want to know what happened to me? Well, I’m glad to see some outward concern for once.” You smile slyly.
Mawile gave you a serious look and used her free hand to flick you in the arm. You knew that she was trying to be gentle, but the hit still stung. But, all she was trying to do was tell you to be serious, so you couldn’t be mad.
“Okay, I’ll be serious. This might sound a little weird, but it's the truth and you’ll have to believe me. Got it?”
Mawile nodded her head and uttered her name quietly.
“Good. Now, it didn’t happen that long ago. I was minding my own business when…”

“And the last thing I did was come back here to get your attention.” You concluded your explanation. You went over everything that happened before you met with Mawile. There wasn’t that much to tell, but you did your best to remember everything because any of it could be important.
Mawile, for her part, remained quiet and serious the whole time. Though she sort of smiled when you told her you had taken selfies with the legendary Pokémon. Other than that, she was completely attentive and you noticed her fingers occasionally curling closer to you. You wanted to assume that it was her naturally reacting protectively, but considering her you also could chalk it up to just a bit of nerves.
Noticing you were finished, Mawile sighed wearily. “So that pink puff ball did this to you? Why couldn’t she have gotten someone other than Boss?”
You noticed Mawile thinking to herself and speak up. “Hey, Mawile!”
The giant Pokemon quickly turned to look at you again. “Mawile?”
“Sorry to interrupt your thoughts, but I just wanted your attention on me.”
Mawile just gave you a confused look, her scarred ear drooping slightly. “Wile?”
“Uh… I don’t really have a reason I guess. I just feel like anything could happen to me. I’m just paranoid that a Taillow or something will gobble me out of your hand.”
Mawile’s fingers curled closer again but went back to normal almost instantly. Your partner looked at you warmly, a confident smile on her face. Muttering her name, she raised her other hand and clenched it into a fist. You recognized the message instantly. Mawile would beat the crap out of anyone who even tried to touch you.
Embarrassed, you scratch your cheek with a finger and laugh. “That’s… really good to hear Mawile, thanks.”
Mawile let her fist loosen and confidently leaned back. “Did you expect anything else from me?”
“Just one thing…” You begin seriously, making Mawile look concerned.
“Let’s make sure you don’t beat up the people trying to help me.” You smiled slyly at your giant partner.
“Maw!” Mawile groaned and rolled her eyes.
Things were almost like normal between you two.   indicates the next chapter needs to be written. |
