```Similarities!```

Ilima laughed a little as the little cat-like Pokemon seemed so happy and proud of what he's just done to the poor timid boy. Of course the meowings alerted the two other Pokemons, which immediately looked up at the paw-print that was on his cheek.
Eevee let out a little cry of happiness, whereas Smeargle clapped his two dog like paws together in a joyful way. 

"Oh, such a heartwarming moment! I can tell Espurr is very proud and content to be your partner." He said with the kindest of voice, the Eevee that laid on Ilima's laps soon started to yawn a little, cuddling a bit more against its trainer before closing its eyes to have a rest, purring lowly in joy. You could tell Ilima was taking great care of his Pokémons, their fur was shining and seemed so soft and nice to touch. 

"Oh?! Really? I do own a Kangaskhan as well! It can mega evolve too. It is such a sweet Pokemon, seeing such sweetness between a mother Pokemon and its child just warm my heart up. It is enough to bright my day up!" 

"It is indeed a shame that not many people like them, but I am here to show people how great they are. I came a long way with them, they deserve their chance. For example: they have only one weakness, which is admirable! And, they can learn so much different types of moves! They're incredible." 
He rambled on as he got started about normal types. He loved them so much you wouldn't blame him for being so talkative.

"Ah, I am so talkative today, I apologize!! It is just nice to know someone else likes normal types."
Anissa
"Y... You really think so?..Hhhh.."

Calem couldn't help but blush more as the other Pokémon seemed happy with the Espurr's 'artwork', he knew his Espurr loved him but like- they didn't have to show him off like this, even if it was a kind gesture it just made him so flustered. Getting himself together a little, he looked up at Ilima and nodded, stroking the mischievous little psychic type which purred contently.

"I... It's quite alright, normal types are amazing... Heheh.. Y... You must be very lucky.."

They gave a little sigh, the kitten-like Pokémon in his arms being nothing nire than just a ball of greyish-pinkish-purpleish fluff. Not that he minded of course, the Espurr was having a loaf moment, let it loaf.

"Y... You get to be praised for your talent, people don't c... Care if you have the same Pokémon as someone else b.. Because you're *Strong* A... And *Loved*..But if you're not strong and y... You have Pokémon that someone who *Is* Strong has, th... Then you're just a copycat weakling.."

Calem shook a little, rubbing his eyes with one hand as the Espurr nuzzled against their chest, mewing softly to help their trainer calm their shaking and nerves down, which worked.

"A... Ah, eheh... S..Sorry, this time I rambled on a bit.."
Nicole
``` Calem, you're skilled too!```

The other's demeanor and speech only brought the pink haired one to frown slightly, shaking his head as he was denying his words, taking one of Calem's hand in his two tanned ones in a friendly way, probably to cheer him up a little. That's just the way he was, he was a man that could cheer anyone's mood up if so wished.

He'd cheer anyone's up, even the worst kind of person if he had to. He hated to see people being down and sad, so if he could bring happiness into anyone, he'd be the most content man on Earth, that's how big of a heart he had.

"Ah, there there Calem! You are not a copycat for owning the same pokemon, you're not a weakling for losing or anything in battles as well. You know, I always see things in a positive way. For example: don't tell yourself you lost because you are weak. Tell yourself you lost because your strategy was not on point, it happens! Everyone makes mistakes right? Instead of crying over your defeats, learn from them! Write down on a piece of paper what you think you did wrong. And once you figured this out, you can fix it and grow stronger!" 
He spoke with a cheerful smile, holding onto the trainer's hand a bit tightly. But after a while, he slowly let go of it and rested his two own hands down on his laps.

"You can ramble to me as much as you are willing to, I'll always be happy to listen to you! I really don't mind it."
Anissa
The noirette listened to the caramel man's words, part of him wanting to beleive them but the other part beleiving that this was all out of pity. That former bit of his mind did know that Ilima was speaking truthfully, that they truely and honestly *Did* Think that he wasn't as useless as he had beleived himself to be. Maybe he hadn't been told these words before, so his mind just didn't know how to react to the kindness. Or perhaps his spirit had been suppressed and clouded with so many negative thoughts for so long that it was hard to break out of them.

"I... I do try and write things down, b... But then I just don't know how to put them into words o... On paper.."

Calem then shook his head lightly, rubbing his eyes with his free hand. He knew Ilima only wanted to help, but he felt bad if he said his problems to them, someone as kind and gentle as them didn't deserve it. He tried to push a small smile onto his face, sniffling a little as his shaking calmed down. The little Espurr shuffled over and licked it's trainer's hand, nuzzling against them in an attempt to also help.

"N... Non non Monsieur, i... It is quite alright, I... I don't really want to talk about it f... Freely... Merci thought.."
Nicole
```I'm here to help!```

Of course Ilima's words weren't there because he pitied the poor younger boy: that was the complete opposite. In fact he found some kind of admiration for this boy, he understood he was anxious and insecure about himself for people probably expected him to be the person he wasn't, or perhaps he did not have the support Ilima always had the chance to hear from his family and friends. If no one wanted to tell him how great he was doing then Ilima most certainly will gladly tell him how great of a job he is actually doing and how nice it is to have a talk with him.

"Ah, I understand your issue! Perhaps I can help you with that one day. We can have friendly Pokemon Battle one day if you wish, and so I can show you how to transcript your actions into words." 
He kindly offered to the other, smiling and chuckling a little at this sweet idea. 

He adored to see how cheerful his Espurr was, it was just so adorable he couldn't help but to smile softly as he, once again, felt his heart melt in his chest.
That was when the two other Pokémon decided to crawl over the sad one, nuzzling both of their head against his hand. Smeargle even decided to paint a little green star on it!

"Hehe, that is quite alright Calem, you can always talk to me anytime you wish, I am here to help, I always enjoy helping people."
Anissa
He looked up at Ilima, his blueish-grey eyes sparkling slightly like a light night sky. He nodded a little, taking a few deep breaths to calm himself down. He hoped he didn't seem like he was over-reacting, he genuinely was trying his hardest to keep calm and feel better, although forcing happiness onto himself probably wasn't the best.

"A... A battle?..Th... That could be nice.."

The ravenette murmured, looking down at the Pokémon which were all concerned for him. His cheeks went a little red as he felt his heart melt (metaphorically of course, otherwise he would be dead), gently petting the other male's Pokémon as his Espurr got a little jelious, nudging his arm slightly with a mew.

"M... Merci petit amis... Th... Thank you to Monsi- I mean I... Ilima.."

Giggling a little at his jelious feline, he picked it up and softly kissed it's forehead, the psychic type sticking it's toungue out and pushing it's trainer's face away from it... Before smiling and hugging their head tightly.
