The Postman's dead. The Milkman appeared with a bunch of bears and froze everyone fighting, then the Postman showed up and... [he stops short, straining to get the words out midst a variety of emotions that he, up until now, hasn't felt - a mixture of frustration, white hot anger, and a queer sense of loss for someone who he hadn't even

I heard people were getting powers back, so I went and got some of my own.

Do you think they'll need an extra healer up there?

[hispalette]

Definitely. When I went the first time...it was bad. Real bad.

I hadn't realized that Grady had so many on his side.

[white_pretear]

If I could have done anything then, I would have gone. Now I can actually make a difference, so I'm coming too.

[hispalette]

I can't stop you, can I?

[white_pretear]

Of course not. I can't just let everyone get hurt.

Even if people who die can come back...I doubt it's a pleasant experience.

[hispalette]

But what if you get hurt? Am I really selfish for worrying more about that right now?

[white_pretear]

No. It's normal to worry about friends.

That's why I can't just sit by and let things happen. I was given these powers to take care of the living and that's what I'm going to do. I know what the risks are.

[hispalette]

[he understands. it's difficult when someone you care about is put at risk, but then again, it's the same way with being a trainer. when you have Pokemon, you have an obligation to protect them as well as anyone you come across who needs help. and when you're the League Champion, that duty extends to everyone and not just those in your immediate vicinity. even though it's not his title or position anymore, that still doesn't give him the right to remain idle.]

Then let's do it together.

[white_pretear]

Together? You're sure?

[hispalette]

Yeah. You won't have to worry about anyone getting the drop on you and I won't have to worry about any of my Pokemon fainting. No matter what happens, I'll stay with you.

[white_pretear]

...Okay. Sounds like a good plan.

Should I meet you there?

[hispalette]

Yeah. It shouldn't be hard to spot me. Look for Charizard.

[white_pretear]

...Charizard? That's a big dragon, right?

[hispalette]

Mhm. You'll get to meet the rest of my team, too. Ever see a Snorlax before?

[white_pretear]

I've only met your Pikachu.

[hispalette]

I already had him and Blastoise with me. Now I have Charizard, Venusaur, Snorlax and Espeon. A full set.
