I silently trudged down the stairs. My parents noticed my depressed face and, concerned as parents always are, asked me what was wrong. I wiped a single rolling tear from my cheek and pointed at the Solosis which had cozily settled into my mother's lap. Mom's face changed from a concerned expression to a disappointed one. "Look dear," she said. "we really wanted to get you a Litwick, but we couldn't find one. So we got you this darling little Solosis to make up for it. Do you understand?" I nodded dejectedly and looked down, pinching back the tears that were threatening to overflow my eyes. She saw how disappointed I was and she gave in. "Okay, fine," she said tiredly. "I'll take you down first thing in the morning to a store that I know has Litwicks. But you would have to release Solosis. Would you like that?" I glanced in the direction of the Solosis hoping for some sort if nod. All I saw was sadness in its eyes. I took a deep breath and said yes.
A discouraged look crossed the salesman's face as he reluctantly handed over the pokeball. Solosis looked at me again, not with sorrow, but with joy. Mom put a hand on my shoulder. I looked at her face and saw an expression of pride towards me. She turned me around, and with the pokeball in my hand and Solosis by my side, we returned home.
"I want to name it." I told my mother after settling myself on the couch with Solosis nestled in my lap.
"What name?"
"I was thinking Zeri," I answered. "It means jelly in Japanese."
"Zeri is a wonderful name! " Mom exclaimed.
Solosis seemed to appreciate the name as well. "Okay then," I said with finality. "Zeri it is!"

Dear Solosis,
I realize that I have been ungrateful for you, my darling gift. I find it in my heart now that I truly care for you. I know you can not read this letter, but I will still continue to compose it. I hope you, Zeri, my gift, can find it in your heart to forgive me. In recent times, I have been a monster to you. I regret every minute of my torturous behavior towards you. I apologize, even if it may be to late to. If you find my actions to be unforgivable, I understand. But, my sweet Zeri, I would like to say one last time, I'm sorry.
