[Who knew training Pokémon was so tough? Besides that, now he had two of them to deal with...

...or so it'd seem. For the last three days, there's been a Sentret trailing him - from New Bark Town, all the way to Violet City. He hadn't exactly caught it - he didn't really want to, considering it seemed pretty young to be out on its own and certainly it must have a family or something - and he's beginning to wonder if feeding the poor thing the first time he saw it was a Bad Idea.

He's sitting inside the Pokécenter for the moment; Doctor's outside with the Sentret, and with this peace and quiet he can finally settle down to talk to others for a while.]

I haven't been here too long [a little over a week, and that was pushing it; he'd only gotten to Violet that morning after trucking it as hard as he could] so I, um, have a question... Is it normal for a wild Pokémon to follow you if you feed it? Like a stray dog?

And if so, is it better to catch it or to hope it'll just go home?

[Okay...]

What if it keeps following me?

[Video]

[subtlecoruscate]

Catch it. It's less troublesome that way.

[Video]

[milquetoasthero]

Doctor seems to like it anyway... Thank you for the advice, miss..?

[subtlecoruscate]

Most of them are easy enough to get along with.

Rima. Touya Rima.

[milquetoasthero]

I'm Luca. It's nice to meet you, Rima.

[It's nice to have some company that doesn't repeat the same sentences or situations over and over again.]

[Video]

[subtlecoruscate]

Likewise.

[milquetoasthero]

[Oookay...]

Have you been here long?

[Video]

[subtlecoruscate]

Only a few months.

[Video]

[milquetoasthero]

...Is there a way to get home?

[Video]

[subtlecoruscate]

Not willingly.

[Video]

[milquetoasthero]

I see. [...Damn.]

[Video]

[su6tlecoruscate]

That doesn't necessarily mean you're stuck here for sure.

[Video]

[milquetoasthero]

What do you mean?

[Video]

[su6tlecoruscate]

We have no control over it, but this place seems to send people back at random.

[Video]

[milquetoasthero]

That doesn't seem very useful...

[Video]

[subtlecoruscate]

That's just how it is.

[Video]

[milquetoasthero]

I guess there's really no helping it, then. What happens to your Pokémon if you leave?

[Video]

[subtlecoruscate]

Some go to the breeding center or to someone else. Others just seem to disappear with their trainer.

[Video]

[milquetoasthero]

How sad... It must be hard on the Pokémon, to be separated from their trainer like that.

[Video]

[subtlecoruscate]

[...] I guess it would be.

[Video]

[milquetoasthero]

[...] You don't know?

[Video] Someone she didn't like left her a Pokemon...and she's just left it in the PC ORZ

[subtlecoruscate]

I just hadn't really thought about it like that.

[Video] orz Rima...

[milquetoasthero]

Oh, I see. Do you come from a place where Pokémon would be considered, um... Monsters?

[Video]

[su6tlecoruscate]

[Headshake] It was famous where I came from. I just didn't really get to know it.

[Video]

[milquetoasthero]

...It was famous?
