it’s not a fair fight with your type disadvantage. no amount of training can make someone completely resistant to that.

grrr!! but you fought me last time!

only because you didn’t spend the prior months confined to a daycare because you don’t know when to stop fighting. remember why you were put there in the first place? i wonder if jinyoung is making the right decision letting you fight again.

grrrahhh!! some veteran you are. i’ll ask someone else!!

[bonus]

toki, it’s a baby!! let’s be parents!

and to be honest, i’m more of a pokemon collector than i am a competitive battler.

i have a lot of pokemon, so i like to give the ones who like battling a chance to challenge themselves and get stronger. and for the ones who aren’t in my active party, i give them a couple options if they want to keep up with their training. if they’re alright with it, i lend them to the pokemon league here in alola where they can train with the trial captains, or lend them out to challengers at the battle tree on poni island. otherwise i ask my veteran pokemon to help train the less experienced ones more personally.

it’s... a lot of work, yeah. but being a champion does give me connections with people who don’t mind looking after my pokemon while i’m away. my mom can only handle so many of them, haha!

is this worse than the daycare? it might be worse than the daycare.

peep!

what.

even if i wouldn’t get in trouble for it, drumstick up here would barely even make a good snack. it’s not like i WANT to be a babysitter, hmph! maybe i should just make you take care of him instead.

i can’t believe he really did it! this is amazing!

[meanwhile, the meowstic hops off his trainer’s shoulder, looking for the luxray in question.]

HANBEI!!!

YOU CAN’T SAY NO. I’VE BEEN COOPED UP HERE LONG ENOUGH AND I NEED SOMEONE TO FIGHT.

then ask someone else. you’d just get mad because i only use psychic moves.

byul, leave him alone. i’ll go talk to the daycare workers and then we can go, okay?

relax, byul. there’s no fighting here. i think there’s some sort of event going on, there’s so many pokemon around! why don’t you go and make some friends, okay?

GRRAAAWWRR!!!

well, unless you’d rather stay by the fire and look after breadcrumb while i take a look around.

M-MYA... *grumble grumble*

refs for the attendees! additional notes:

they’re only passing by, so none of them have masks (yet, at least)

byul’s trainer is wearing the expedition outfit from the sw/sh dlc and a trapper hat instead of a helmet
