“Please leave a message after the tone.”

        Tomorrow there's going to be a big pokemon tournament, just learned of it while looking at things online. Hopefully I won't get someone's sickness from going to this one like I did the last one. (That's the thing about going to public gatherings haha). I always find it cute when I see a parent a child parting at the age division tables. Good luck young grasshopper... Anyway onto the flashfiction!

The Sidekick's Woes And Fortunes

        “Wash the costumes sidekick.”
        “It doesn't matter if nobody can remember your name, we still got in the paper for beating the villain.”
        “You almost died? Well, I still caught the bad guy, so it's all good.”
        “Once you patch up your burnt costume can you polish my super bike?”
        Sunlight-Man always spoke like this to his sidekick Moonlight-Boy. Every week of every month of every year. They did good but Moonlight-Boy never did feel very good. Most heroes felt nostalgia of their adventures when they looked at their costumes. But when Moonlight-Boy looked at his sparkling silver one next to Sunlight-Man's bright gold he didn't feel like his adventures brought back joyful memories.
Weeks after Moonlight-Boy finished nursing a broken leg back to health by himself, a news report shocked the country.
       “Sunlight-Man is dead! His arch-rival Infinite-Twilight somehow learned all his secret weaknesses and easily killed him. Sunlight-Man's sidekick was nowhere to be found to lend aid to stopping Infinite-Twilight's evil schemes so many other heroes had to step in to stop his evil rampage.”
       Moonlight-Boy knew they would never find him. He destroyed his costume completely and went back to being normal. Along with the fat stack of cash that became his new fortune for selling the weaknesses Sunlight-Man to his arch-rival.
