New Years Reset Pokemon TF/AR By Wolf-Prince-Leon & Regulus58 ~~~ It was a cold new year's eve in St Tobias, with snow and ice all around. It was a particularly harsh year as no one wanted to adopt any child at all, as more came in, while the older kids were getting worried they would never find a new place to call home. But eight kids out of what was now forty, stood out. ~~~ A young boy about seven in age was frowning as a caretaker spoke with him. “N...No adopters today?” he asked, tearing up a bit. “No, unfortunately. I wish I could help you find a family that’s looking for such a sweet and caring boy to love as their own son, but no one’s looking.” The caretaker said back. “I’m sorry Tommy.” Young Tommy was literally the newest orphan at the orphanage, having just lost his family in a fire. A sweet, lovable little bro who deserves a good family, yet no one wanted him. “I do have this for you.” the caretaker then helped Tommy into an adorable set of Rockruff mitted, hooded, footies, compete with paws for the hands and feet, ears on the hood, and even a little tail. “Thank you, Vincent.” Tommy hugged the caretaker. “Alright, little pup. Time for bed.” Vincent said, tucking Tommy into bed with his Rockruff plushie. “Here’s hoping for 2017.” Tommy nodded, before falling asleep. ~~~ Over at another corner of the orphanage, another kid was slipping in and out of sleep in front of a tv when a caretaker came in. “There you are.” The caretaker walked over to the kid dressed up in Squirtle pajamas and picked him up. “It’s almost time for bed.” The kid looked up at the person and looked sad. “Do you think I’ll ever find a loving family, miss?” “Of course you will, Sirius. Just don’t lose hope.” She said, picking the boy up. Sirius was a boy around eight years old and was left at the orphanage. Abandoned when he was five. A shy and lonely kid who prefered to watch tv than interact with the other kids but had a few friends who he looked at as brothers. “Orion wanted to share a room with you tonight, is that okay?” the Caretaker asked, carrying Sirius upstairs to the housing floor. “Yeah, that’s fine with me, miss. He’s always welcome to share the room with me.” “That’s good to hear.” She smiled. ~~~ Downstairs, in the kitchen, another little boy, also seven, was trying to get himself a bedtime snack. But the mitts of his Charmander pajamas were thickly padded, making his hands useless. But his tummy was growling. A caretaker walked into the room and helped the little kid out. “Here, I can get that for you.” He soon had a glass of milk and a few cookies set out on a plate for the kid. “Did Renault pad up your jammies again, Ryan.” The boy timidly nodded. “Could you...” “I’ll feed you, little Charmander.” He said, scooping the boy onto his lap. “Thank you, Mark.” Ryan smiled. Ryan was orphaned at birth, left on the doorstep of the orphanage. Very timid, yet sweet. He is one of the youngest of the little circle of brothers formed at the orphanage. But Mark was like a real papa to him. “You’re welcome, Ryan. I’m always happy to help you out.” Mark happily fed Ryan the cookies and milk, sharing a cute moment with the boy. ~~~ An older kid was over in the playroom helping out some of the kids. He was dressed up like a Totodile, watching four kids, a boy dressed like a Rattata, a girl dressed like a Buneary, a girl dressed up as a Chikorita, and a final boy dressed up as a Chimchar, playing. The Rattata boy was heavy-eyed and yawning. “You’re ready for bed already, Cody?” The totodile boy asked. “But... I...” Cody yawned. “I... wanna keep... playing...” “No buts, Cody. You’re already too tired to keep on going.” Cero said as he carried the young boy over to a bean bag chair. Cero soon notices that the Chikorita girl was starting to yawn and fall asleep. “You too, Una? Let’s get you to a comfy chair as well.” “Cero... can I call you big bro?” The Buneary girl asked, obediently following as she was heavy eyed too. “Of course you can call me big bro, little sis Lily.” Cero said as he carried Una over to another chair while sitting Lily in another. The Chimchar boy was already sleeping when Cero turned around again. Cero let out a chuckle under his breath quietly as he placed a blanket over the Chimchar kid. “Good night, Roy and sleep tight. We can continue playing tomorrow.” Cero was a big brother figure at the orphanage ever since he arrived when he was seven. A calm and patient kid, he loved helping out in the playroom and keeping track of the kids there while assisting the caretakers when he could. “Cero, bedtime.” A caretaker came in. “Yeah, I hear you. I already got the kids in here ready for bed so I guess it’s my turn next.” Cero said as he yawned. The caretaker simply sat him on the last bean bag chair with his own blanket. ~~~ In a four kid bedroom, an older boy, about ten, dressed like a Popplio, was tucking in four kids; A young boy dress like a Buizel, a boy dressed as a Pikachu, a boy dressed up as a Mudkip, and a kid dressed as a Poochyena. The Popplio boy gave the Buizel boy a cute little Buizel plushie. “There you go, Yukio.” “Thank you big brother.” Yukio snuggled in bed with his plushie. “You’re welcome, little bro.” Soon, another voice comes from across the room. “Can I have a hug, big bro?” “Sure thing, Ken.” The boy came over and gave the Mudkip boy a hug. He then made sure the Pikachu boy was all snug. “You all set for bed Max?” The Pikachu boy nodded. “Yep, I’m ready for bed now, big bro!” “And what about me, big bro?” The kid dressed up as a poochyena asked. “Sy wants a hug before he goes to bed as well!” Sy got what he wanted, a nice hug from the Popplio boy. “Thanks, bro!” Sy said before falling asleep in his bed. “Mike, you need to get to bed too.” Vincent said, coming in. “Alright. I just finished tucking these kids in.” Mike was also a big brother figure. He often was caring for the other kids, making them happy and causing most of them to call him big brother. Vincent got Mike to his own room, tucking him in bed. “Sleep tight.” Mike let out a yawn as he fell asleep in his own bed as Vincent turned out the lights. ~~~ A young boy, about seven, dressed cutely as Cubone, was in Sirius’ room, on the second bed. “Please let me stay the night, Sirius.” “You know you don’t have to ask me, Orion.” Sirius said. “I’m always happy to let you sleep over for the night.” The caretaker arrived with the sleepy boy. “Maia? Can you tuck Orion in too?” Maia tucked Sirius into his bed before turning her attention to Orion. “It seems Sirius wants me to tuck you in, little one. Who am I to argue with such a nice boy.” Maia smiled as she gently patted Orion’s head. “After all, you’re such a good boy as well.” Orion was one of, if not the youngest, kid currently residing at the orphanage. He was a sweet boy, but very innocent and naive. Orion would constantly follow the older kids around and try to emulate what they did, but Sirius and Maia were his family practically. “Thank you.” Orion smiled, as Maia tucked him in. “You’re welcome, Orion.” Maia said as she turned off the lights in the room ~~~ An older boy, dressed like a Riolu, was just leaving another bedroom after tucking four more kids in. He yawned, heavy eyed. “Sounds like someone needs a nap.” A caretaker said as he picked up Leon. “Don’t worry Leon.” “Thank you... Karic...” The fifteen year old. Leon was the oldest kid at the orphanage, he was a nice boy, caring and kind, responsible, but he’s still kid at heart, he needed a family. “You’re welcome, Leon. After all, I’m here to help you get to bed for helping us get all of the other kids to bed.” Karic said with a warm smile. ~~~ Reggie collapsed into his bed as Karic brought Leon back into their room. Setting Leon in bed, Karic helped Reggie into his Houndour pajamas. “Long day?” Karic asked. “Very long, Karic. I had to help out in the kitchen for a while before taking care of the younger kids.” “You boys spend so much time helping others, you deserve a break.” Reggie was one of the kids who helped the caretakers take care of younger kids. As a naive and caring kid, he did his best to make sure the younger kids were having fun. “I know, Karic, and yet I want to make sure the other kids are alright before I can relax and have fun.” Reggie said with a sigh. “Well everyone in bed now, so it’s our turn.” Leon said, tucking himself in.
