Well, I guess the comparison isn't too far off then. [Still, stupid Malnosso.]

There are stories about me too, back home. It seemed like the Malnosso did something because it was appropriate for a change. Honestly, I'm surprised I wasn't turned into a turkey or something.

[bravefighter]

Really? Well hey, at least you got stuck as a giant lightning bird instead of a turkey, yeah. I dunno what a turkey even is.

[windandrain]

It's a big, fat bird that can't fly. People eat them on holidays a lot in some places.

[It's good, he should try it sometime.]

Anyway. I wanted to thank you for the help the other day. The other you is...a little quirky, but he's a sweet boy. And it really bothers me to see him hurt.

[There's a beat and she just has to ask.]

That vile man, though. Who is he?

[bravefighter]

Huh! The more you know.

But you don't have to thank me for that! I was happy to help. I couldn't just leave him there, after all.

[Though, that does get a laugh out of him, albeit an awkward one. Yeah, he knows exactly who she was talking about.]

That was Giovanni. He is, or at least in my world, was the leader of Team Rocket. He's not the same one that I know, though.

[windandrain]

[Saori's jaw tightens slightly, tensing. Red had mentioned Team Rocket before...]

He's a villain, isn't he? A...gangster or something?

[bravefighter]

Something along those lines, yeah. He was behind a lot of shady stuff back home. Selling other trainer's pokémon was probably the bare minimum of stuff that he did.

[windandrain]

Why interact with him at all then? Mortals like that are dangerous. Obviously. Is there something I'm missing about their relationship?

[bravefighter]

I'm not sure, actually. I dunno why he was hangin' out with him. You'd have to ask him about that.

If anything, maybe he feels responsible for him? [But he doesn't really know, and he shrugs.] That's the only thing I can guess, anyway.

[windandrain]

[Saori sighs, shrugging as well.] I suppose I will. I just don’t…like…bringing up things like that with him. He’s young, and I just want him to keep on being able to be young. Strong or not.

[bravefighter]

Yeah, that makes a lotta sense.

[They really were too young for a lot of the things that happened, but... that's what being a pokémon trainer is about. ]

Maybe he'll tell you on his own then? Just gotta give him time.

[windandrain]

Maybe. I'm certainly concerned about him getting involved in things like that...

[With dangerous people. Nevermind that she introduced him to Vegeta...]

[bravefighter]

Yeah, I would be too, but he can also handle himself pretty well, I'm sure! So I wouldn't worry too much about it.

[windandrain]

No, I suppose not. It's just something to keep an eye on, I guess.

Anyway...it's good to meet you. But I won't hold you up any longer.

[bravefighter]

'Course! That's all we really can do.

But yeah, it was nice meetin' you too! Lemme know if you ever need anything, I'm always around to help.
