Description Gull Inventory

A little heads up:
I dont feel writing a huge story, so im trying to mix the context between a story - resume of whats going on, since this pic is for plot and i've been planned this for a while, i wanted to do a comic but i didnt had the time or motivation for it, so im gonna try my best to explain whats going on.
And also a huge sorry because my english is not the best either, but i can explain anything if someone has doubts;;
and also im not counting exp for the story! just for the art.

A warning:

He was feeling homesick, slighty even, of course he didn't miss Sinnoh at all, not his parents... but the curiosity was eating his guts, maybe this time...maybe all this time they were indeed missing him? maybe too busy to make a call... to contact.
During his night walks he decided to crave in and make that such anxious call, but he decided to use a public phone instead of his own phone, for reasons.

And so, he called.
..
.. 
.. 
Oh good, no answer, maybe this was just a stupid idea, no way theyre gonna answer to such a random call at such a random time--
"Yes hello?" He could heard. Fuck
"Yes hello, im talking to Mortuary Levant?" He joked
"What?" The voice spoke back. "What the hell you're talking about? Who are you" Serious tone, they did not like the joke at all.
"Chill, is this how you reply back to your favorite son?" He laughed, sarcastically.
The silence was dense, very dense, Gulliver anxiety was starting hitting his guts, this wasnt a good idea at all-- why did he thought it was a good idea? maybe it was still time to hang up-
"Gulliver?" It was a male voice, his father.
"Oh hey hello there! Hows my favorite old man doing?" 
"...Oh! i was doing great, thanks for asking!" He joked back, Gull could understand the sarcasm completely, it hurted abit.
"Love your energy old man, im so glad you expected a call from your favorite son!" Why did he keep joking? he was not in mood for jokes.
"Yeah, i was absolutely not expecting a call from you to be honest, i thought you were dead-" "What?" "or forgot about us, you never called after you left, im surprised you're not dead since you werent the sharpest tool in the shed." He laughed, Gull did not.
Gull wanted to run away and hide, this was a mess.

There was some rambling on the other side of the phone, he could hear another voice whispering, whispering something to his dad, he couldnt listen at the voice correctly, his ears were beating in his ear, he just...he should just hang up and run away-
"Lemme talk to him" He heard, a female voice.
"Im talking to him right now, father and son bonding time!" Oh please, your jokes are not funny anymore.
"Let me talk to him" The voice sounded serious, cold and he felt a shiver in all his body, he was not ready, he didnt wanted to talk to her-

"Gulliver" A female voice, she wasnt happy
"Mother" He speaked back. "Heeey hows my favorite ol' gal doing? im doing great-" 
"Dont try to sympathize with me Gulliver, you know what you did, and you expected us- you expected ME to JUST ACCEPT THIS CALL, TO ACCEPT TALK WITH YOU? After how you left and decide to cut all communication with us?!"
"Well, you weren't nice to me anyways." Fuck

"... What? Not nice to you? Have you ever wondered in that absolutely ridiculous brain of yours how much we did for you? We GAVE YOU LIFE, and this is how you repay us?!" "Honey-" "NOT NOW" She yelled, Gull was shaking on the spot, he felt absolutely worthless.
"What? How much you did for me?!" He was not thinking right, his words leaving his mouth before he could think. "All you did was abandon me and ignore me when you could! Always giving up stupid excuses to not look after your ONLY son!"
"How you dare to talk back at me your worthless boy! Why arent you like your cousins after all this time!? Is this how you greet you mother after nearly 1 or 2 years of not knowing about you!?"
"Of course im not like Adler or Erick! im not THEM!! You decide to create me and karma hates you i guess? you're stuck with me! Too bad!, I can notice you havent move on and still stuck with the wrong image of me??"
"All you did to me was just giving me enough traumas and basically hate myself!" Gull yelled, his body shaking with anxiety, grabbing the phone tightly as he tries his best to not sob onto the phone, he couldnt show any kind of weakness, not now.
"...You ungrateful child!" She yelled back, ringing on Gull ears. "How you dare to call me and just spit on my face! traumas? hating? What the hell you're talking about! You're a adult already, dont come to me yelling as a little kid, stop with this kind of bullshit, Gulliver Levant! for once! stop lying and being worthless to us!"

"You know what! you're right" She spat, bitterly. "Maybe this is what you wanted for us! to hate you! you want that? then if anything that happens to you, you want to come back and cry into your mama lap? well Gulliver, you don't deserve anything!"
"You dont deserve us, or anything that happens in your life! You're just a ungrateful angry kid!, dont waste your time calling us because, you're an adult, look after youself, go around talking about the traumas that you created, don't blame it on us, you should be grateful instead about us being there for you, but of course not, a selfish brat like you wants even more!"
"Honey, stop-" The male voice tried to grab the phone off her. "You're being too harsh" "Well too bad, hes an adult and should already know that not everything is sparkles and flowers! he can go and cry to a pillow later, move on Gulliver, for once, do it for us, everything happened in the past, move on and just drop it" 
Gull was trying his best to not choke on a sob, his tears were already falling, he didnt knew how long he was...crying, he didnt wanted to cry! this is not worth his tears! he felt pathetic.

"Yes, comforting" He lied. "Of course you're right mom, im just a annoyance all the time- actually! Pokemon do not like me! and so none of my friends like me either---!!!" He kept lying, the true Gull, the liars that made him.
"You really gotta act like a adult, Gulliver, you're just sounding pathetic, move on from your "non existencial" traumas you meant, we didnt do anything to you" 
So tired, he was so tired... drained, he wanted this call to end.
"Thanks mom, you're always right" He lied once again, his hands were shaking, he was so tired, like if he just ran a marathon.
"Of course, mom is always right" She didnt caught the sarcasm, of course. "It was nice talking to you, Gulliver" Right back at him.
"...yes...nice to talk to you-" He wanted to hang up, and just die in a hole. He could hear his dad voice on the phone. 
"...Im sorry, Gulliver" He whispered, not sarcasm, he truly meant it, but it was a whisper so he was hiding from the mother, did he care? if he did truly care then he could just... protect him, but he did not.
"Its alright, dad." he whispered back and so...

All he could heard was the dial tone.

And so, all he could feel was a mix between pure sadness and anger.
