My apologies for the shortness of this message, but I intend to leave soon.

Now, does anyone know how to obtain an advantage against Steel-type Pokémon? I came victorious against Azalea's Gymnasium leader, but it was really rather close when he sent out his... Scizor, I believe it was called? Yes, Scizor.

Anyway, yes, that will be all.

...I guess that depends on what you have to say.

[Jeez, Phoenix, you sound like a jerk when you text.]

Why did you agree to kidnap Maya?

[shellderkillder]

I should have explained this to you already. At the time, I was doing whatever was in my power in order to protect my client.

Yes, you said something along those lines in court.

My client and I had a contingency plan from the beginning. From what I had read in the newspapers, you seemed to be a competent lawyer. Fortunately, I was not wrong in that aspect.

... As for Ms. Fey... Regrettably, I must say that it was necessary, in order to make you cooperate. What better way to make you defend a stranger than to make you fear for the safety of a precious "item"?

[Shortly after that, he sends this additional message, apparently as an afterthought:]

Cruel, I know. But as I said... I was only doing the best for my client.
