I’m still Bell, whether Popplio, Brionne, or Primarina. That won’t change, okay? Neither won’t our friendship, and that’s a promise!

[seals-and-giggles]

I want to be famous when I grow up, so I’m working really hard on it! I go see Stardust twice a week for singing lessons now, and I practice every day! Pharos insists I should keep up with my attacks, but I don’t wanna be a battler.

WAHOOOO. WAH HA HA. CAN YOU SWIM? FLY? EVER FLOWN THROUGH THE OCEAN? SWAM IN THE SKY? ONE IN THE SAME ONE TO RULE THEM ALL. WHAT'S YOUR TOP SPEED? EVER BROKE THE BARRIER? GOTTA GO FAST. GOTTA SPEED. BECOME THE TOP GUN. THAT BRINGS US BACK TO THE POINT. TOP SPEED. ALWAYS RUNNING TO SOMETHING. WHAT'RE YOU RUNNING TOWARDS? HOPE IT'S NOT THE DUST, SLOWPOKE.

"Well, there was that one time I used Aqua Jet while sliding down a water slide. Does that count as, uh.... "swimming through the sky?" I don't know how fast I was going... but I know I hit another Pokemon when that happened. I don't know about breaking any barriers, but I hope I didn't break anything of theirs."

"Or, you know, not REAL legs like you have. Whenever I run, it feels like I'm always having to pull something 'cause of my tail and all. So I guess I'm not really running toward anything, am I? Because if I did, it would take like a million... thousand... years to get there." @askdeoxys

Cashmere: Different kids have different needs. That’s why I made sure all my kids were tutored by other Pokémon of their same kind or typing. That’s how they learn what I can’t teach them… that’s how they know more about themselves.

Cashmere: Some new parents want to do everything themselves… like asking for help is admitting defeat, or that you’re not a good enough parent. It happens to the best of them, and yet…

Cashmere: I’ve tried telling this to Pharos a number of times, but I don’t think he quite believed me until this happened to Bell Pepper. I guess this is what happens when you’re a contest Pokémon - you become stubborn to a fault. Regardless…

[seals-and-giggles]

Bell Pepper: Cashmere is a great babysitter, and he often tells me about his family and his daughter… Hatoful is a Talonflame that lived back at the farm, and would tell me about all the eggs she’s incubated and hatched for others… Dad tells me about being raised by a trainer, with no parents. It seems sometimes life is like that for Pokémon like us… I dunno. I guess I never had the need for a mom, when I had everyone else telling me it was okay.

Bell Pepper: Though, it does make me wonder…

[@amphartist] Bell Pepper: LEI! Leilani! It's been so long, I missed you so much! How're you doing? Oh! There's a ball game I've been wanting to play with other Popplios, and I'd love to play with you. It requires knowing Aqua Jet, though. Do you know it? I'd be happy to teach you if not!

"I mean, I would love to play with you, because I don't really get to see a lot of Popplio anymore, and playing would be just like playing with the others in the tribe."

"But... but I've only been able to use Aqua Jet once, and I think it was just luck. I haven't been able to learn how to do it when I want yet, and you probably wouldn't have a lot of fun playing with me, Bell."

"I guess it's kind of my fault, though. I haven't really been practicing attacks since... well, since I was with Kai. He tried to teach me Aqua Jet and Water Gun a few times, but I just could never do it. I looked really stupid, too."

"I... I do hope you have fun with the other Popplio, though!! I bet you'll do great!

"I've never been good at riddles so I don't know how much help I can be, but two of us thinking about it has to be better, right?"

"Let's see, something that's missing that was never there?"

"You say you're happy here, and I'm not surprised. You're safe, there are lots of Pokemon here to be your friend, and you have your Trainer and Pharos to take care of you. Not to mention lots of fun places to swim, it looks like!!"

"Hmm... I'm probably wrong, but the only thing I can think of that would be missing in your life that you never had would be knowing your actual mother. You were hatched from an egg and never really knew her, right?"

"If that's not it, I'll try and think of something else. We can figure this out together, Bell!"
