◓ 8th Catch [Written/Action]

[Action]

[Green has skipped out on training, over the past few days, keeping himself busy with taking notes and giving his Pokémon a break.

He will, however, be bugging his fellow Pokémon trainers, both the ones new to Pokémon and the ones from Pokémon worlds, with exception to Masaomi. He's got quite a few people he needs to talk to. He'll find them wherever they may usually be spending their day, unless they're not seeing anyone.]

I don't like to be vague and ask pointless questions, but for what reason do people gather strength in your world?

I've had a poor conversation and need to have a better grasp of overall context.

With something like strength, you've gotta break it down into all of the things that make a person a person. Physical strength, mental strength, and emotional strength. Physical strength is pretty obvious, it's just how strong you are. How well you can fight and defend yourself. Mental's how smart you are. How much you can absorb and apply to what's going on around you. And emotional's how well you handle everything around you. How you react to other people and things...I guess that's how I'd define it, and I think the reason anyone bothers to gather strength in any shape or form is for other people.

That's a fair split. What would you consider most important in getting by in life?

[Written]

[perplexme]

...out of those three? Emotional strength, definitely.

[cooltrainer]

Interesting. Why is that?

[perplexme]

It says a lot about a person if they can feel things, doesn't it?

[Written]

[cooltrainer]

Most people do. I would even say that all people do.

You'd be surprised. I know a lot of people that don't. [Or shouldn't, but do anyway.]

I know many aren't emotionally resilient, and often can't handle tragedy. That is the closest I can compare.

[perplexme]

What do you mean by "emotionally resilient"?

[Written]

[cooltrainer]

Able to face danger and the impossible without crumbling. Never giving up in the face of impossible odds.

[Written]

[perplexme]

Right...so where does that put you though?

[Written]

[cooltrainer]

I have faced such odds many times. I persevere.

[perplexme]

Good to know.

So why are you asking us anyway?

[Written]

[cooltrainer]

I'm trying to get a better understanding of how the pursuit of strength is perceived in other worlds.

Are you getting a lot of different answers though, or is everyone basically saying the same thing?
