◓ 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.]

[Written: Filtered from Masaomi]

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.

[You'll know someday.] I find it hard to believe you could ever overreact. But what's on your mind?

[cooltrainer]

I worked with Masaomi recently. He came to me after experiencing some trouble in his training, and I started questioning him. I pressed him to find out his motivations... why he was training so hard, and why he was training Linda. I wanted to know what was driving him to push so hard before he understood his Pokémon. And the answer I got boiled down to "I train her because she is strong", and "I can't accept being weaker than my friends". He said he didn't need to understand Linda, and that he had an understanding about letting her do as she pleased. And was asking me why his Pokémon held no regard for him!

[So there's what Green was faced with. And his reaction...]

So I trained him as I was trained. I pit him against Charizard and showed him what it was like to battle. I threatened to take everything away from him, before he caused any damage.

[He lost his temper, basically, in the most controlled manner he could.]

[kickingcatcher]

... what? [Are you serious, is this for real? This is possibly the second best way to piss off Crys.] That's insulting to Pokemon trainers! Does he honestly think so little of the bonds we tried so hard to make?! You can never let your Pokemon just do as they please unless they're well-trained enough and you trust that they will! Linda holds no regard for him because he basically sounds like he holds no regard for her!

[Wow, sorry, Senior, she just had a little outburst.] Honestly, I think it would've been for the best if you did take Linda away. He doesn't seem to have a sense of responsibility or any bond with her.

[cooltrainer]

[Well, he feels as though his reaction is more validated, then! Green tends to not get so passionate about things, but he knows he can have quite a temper. It's good to know he didn't react incorrectly.]

He's had his strike. I've warned him that if he doesn't improve under my training, I am taking Linda regardless of how little he wishes me to. I'm not leaving a Pokémon like that with someone that won't keep control of her - she's too dangerous. She'll end up hurting someone that can't defend themselves.

[kickingcatcher]

Well, he'd better shape up. [Otherwise, Crys is not going to be a happy camper, and possibly ask to get involved.] Was anyone watching over his training before this?

[cooltrainer]

Silver was training him before. So I'm going to get to the bottom of what went awry and correct it.

[kickingcatcher]

Good. [There's a sigh of relief.] The last thing we need is a bad trainer.

[cooltrainer]

It's a good thing Giovanni isn't here.

[He's not saying that he seriously is concerned about whether or not Masaomi would join Team Rocket.




But he sure is thinking it really hard.]

[kickingcatcher]

Wh-- [Ohhhh, Green, please no.] No no no no. I don't think even Masaomi would join him. No way. I'm sure Gold and Silver would've told him something about Team Rocket.
