˗ˏˋㅤʚㅤ★ㅤɞㅤ‿︵ㅤ˗ˏˋㅤ𝑶𝒉, 𝒔𝒉𝒆 𝒕𝒐𝒕𝒂𝒍𝒍𝒚 𝒎𝒆𝒔𝒔𝒆𝒅 𝒕𝒉𝒂𝒕 𝒖𝒑, didn't she ? She meant to say something more eloquent than THAT ! Or at least, put an adjective between ' a ' and ' person ' ! Maybe she should have taken Professor Salvatore's classes instead of Professor Jacq's. Maybe then this whole ' communication and socialization ' wouldn't have been so DIFFICULT sometimes.

ʚㅤ★ㅤɞㅤ˗ˏˋㅤ❛ㅤI meant a NEAT person ! Likeㅤ—ㅤㅤaren't you a member of the ELITE FOUR ? That's pretty neat !ㅤ❜

ʚㅤ★ㅤɞㅤ˗ˏˋㅤWorking with a new professor was definitely intimidating too. Professor Turo was the one she was used toㅤ—ㅤand even he was rather ECCENTRIC at times. Nevertheless, she puts on her best ' professional ' face and speaks.

ʚㅤ★ㅤɞㅤ˗ˏˋㅤ❛ㅤI think it would BENEFIT our research if we researched these ' Paradox Pokémon ' further. We should figure out why they've all taken on theseㅤ—ㅤmetallic forms and what sorts of consequences that holds for us as a civilization if they are indeed Pokémon of the future like Professor Turo says. ㅤ❜

ʚㅤ★ㅤɞㅤ˗ˏˋㅤDid that sound ' smart ' enough ? She HOPED so. The social aspects and pleasing people were the worst parts. But she still continues.

ʚㅤ★ㅤɞㅤ˗ˏˋㅤ❛ㅤAll of these Paradox Pokémon are rather HOSTILE though. I feel that our safest bet would either be Iron Bundle as it's the smallestㅤ—ㅤor Iron Thorns as it seems to prefer to avoid confrontation. ㅤ❜

˗ˏˋㅤʚㅤ★ㅤɞㅤ‿︵ㅤ˗ˏˋㅤ❛ㅤYeah, the streets ARE kind of crowded today, aren't they ? ㅤ❜

ʚㅤ★ㅤɞㅤ˗ˏˋㅤ𝑬𝒗𝒆𝒏 𝒇𝒐𝒓 𝒂 𝒘𝒆𝒆𝒌𝒆𝒏𝒅, the streets of Yokohama were unusually congested. She had wanted to show the man her FAVORITE book storeㅤ—ㅤbut something like that seemed to be getting more and more DIFFICULT by the minute. Especially with this newfound development of claustrophobia.

ʚㅤ★ㅤɞㅤ˗ˏˋㅤThere was a shortcut she knew ofㅤ—ㅤbut she wasn't entirely enthusiastic about it. Still, it would have been a convenient way to ESCAPE the crowds.

ʚㅤ★ㅤɞㅤ˗ˏˋㅤ❛ㅤHow good are you with DARK and CREEPY alleyways ? There's one that'll take us right to the street. And Mirai SHOULD protect us as long as you don't freak out and put him to sleep again.ㅤ❜

ʚㅤ★ㅤɞㅤ˗ˏˋㅤ𝑰𝒕 𝒘𝒂𝒔 𝒂 𝒗𝒂𝒍𝒊𝒅 𝒒𝒖𝒆𝒔𝒕𝒊𝒐𝒏 and one of the first things she had wondered when she had came across this girl to warn her of the dangers of Fury Falls. She definitely seemed like kind of a newbie at the Academy. Either that or there were so many students that she somehow HADN'T come across the girl in any of her loops or her time afterwards.

ʚㅤ★ㅤɞㅤ˗ˏˋㅤ❛ㅤWHERE are you from ?ㅤ❜

ʚㅤ★ㅤɞㅤ˗ˏˋㅤ𝑩𝒚 𝑻𝑯𝑨𝑻, 𝒕𝒉𝒆 𝒈𝒊𝒓𝒍 𝒎𝒆𝒂𝒏𝒕 𝒕𝒉𝒆 unsettling mechanical beast that BARELY resembled a Gardevior. Or was it supposed to have been a descendant of Gallade ? Who knows; the Area Zero Expedition Team could never figure out the answer to that question out. The researchers all assumed that IRON VALIANT was supposed to be a descendant of both final evolutions. But that was besides the point.

ʚㅤ★ㅤɞㅤ˗ˏˋㅤ Had this thing managed to ESCAPE the Great Crater like that Iron Treads ? That was possible; after all, even if the time machine had been shut down after enduring so many time loops; there had still been some PARADOX POKEMON remaining. But did this woman really . . .

ʚㅤ★ㅤɞㅤ˗ˏˋㅤㅤ—ㅤActually, the more she thought about it, maybe she should have been asking this to the guy that was literally her ART TEACHER.

˗ˏˋㅤʚㅤ★ㅤɞㅤ‿︵ㅤ˗ˏˋㅤ𝑴𝒂𝒚𝒃𝒆 𝒊𝒕 𝒘𝒂𝒔 𝒉𝒆𝒓 𝒇𝒂𝒖𝒍𝒕 for going into town by herself. It wasn't all that unusual for students like herself to be out and about without a guardian. Still, it definitely made her an EASIER target for trouble like this.

ʚㅤ★ㅤɞㅤ˗ˏˋㅤA small bouquet of flowers ( a peculiar thing for a teenage girl like herself to buy ) lay abandoned on the pavement as the girl finds herself against the wall; surrounded by some ODD men in suits. Who WERE these guys ? Their formal attires certainly didn't match that of the typical criminals on the streets. What did they want with her ? !

ʚㅤ★ㅤɞㅤ˗ˏˋㅤ❛ㅤI'm telling you, I DON'T have any money ! I literally just spent it all !ㅤ❜

ʚㅤ★ㅤɞㅤ˗ˏˋㅤThe large greyhound besides her was GROWLING; obviously ready to attack those that harmed his owner. But somehow, she didn't think Mirai could take them all at once. There was her ability too butㅤ—ㅤ

ʚㅤ★ㅤɞㅤ˗ˏˋㅤ❛ㅤㅤ—ㅤHow am I going to do this assignment NOW ?ㅤ❜

ʚㅤ★ㅤɞㅤ˗ˏˋㅤToo bad there wasn't a convenient Titan Pokemon to just break the rocks down. Then again, the last ( several ) times she dealt with those beasts, they caused MORE problems than anything else.

ʚㅤ★ㅤɞㅤ˗ˏˋㅤIt came to two people both touching that sacred, plastic GAME CASE at the same time.

ʚㅤ★ㅤɞㅤ˗ˏˋㅤPanic overtakes her as she quickly draws her own away; allowing the older woman a chance to take the game for herself. She doesn't fight it however. In fact, she actually APOLOGIZES.

Sure, Pokemon could jump out at you anywhere in Paldeaㅤ—ㅤbut it was definitely one of the more intimidating areas in the region before she got used to it. There was nothing QUITE like a Spidops attacking you in the middle of the night.

ʚㅤ★ㅤɞㅤ˗ˏˋㅤTHIS dark and creepy forest was not one she was familiar with though. The girl was clearly on guard; azure hues darting left and right as she hoped to find SOME sort of clearing. But even if the woods seemed empty, she had the feeling she was being WATCHED.

Something that was definitely capable of causing more DESTRUCTION than most other water Pokémon. Not to mention, there were other large water Pokémon to be worried about.

ʚㅤ★ㅤɞㅤ˗ˏˋㅤNormally, she wouldn't BE nervous about water Pokémon butㅤ—ㅤshe was on a SHIP out in the middle of a vast ocean.

˗ˏˋㅤʚㅤ★ㅤɞㅤ‿︵ㅤ˗ˏˋㅤ❛ㅤI heard there's this URBAN LEGEND about some poor trainers that were on a cruiseㅤ—ㅤbut one of them got upset at their Magikarp and it evolved into a Gyarados to take revenge on its trainer. I THINK they survived but I'm not sure if I want to go through that !ㅤ❜
