I hurt Armin's Pokémon. And I...
Dad I killed Krieg
I think he came back, but I still...
It was just like with Mom.

I... am not too far from Blackthorn. Maybe... maybe it's best that I stay with you for awhile.

no, angel, whatever happened over the weekend was different. think of it like...messing up in a simulation.
you can't die here. like literally, you don't die and come back, you just don't die. i've been through it. hell, you even wake up in a hospital.
your psycho babysitter's fine. and pokemon get hurt all the time, when they fight. which is something they do naturally.

but yeah, when you've got your powers, they can be a problem. you don't know how to control them. i'm really sorry you had to go through this, but...it looks different, huh, when you're a grown up and something happens.

i got the room. you can go skiing, we got our own...whatever the hell a ski thingy is. and diana comes by a lot, she's coming for christmas.
you'd have somebody around your own age to hang out with.

Real or not, dead or not, I still hurt him. If it was Pandora, he would be dead.
And he's not my babysitter.
He's my best friend.

I... will make my way that way, then.
Maybe we can work together? And make sure that this doesn't happen again.
Do you think you could make a...
Make something like what I wore back home?

but this isn't pandora. we're not on pandora. and 95% of the time, you're fine. and you know how i feel about the psycho.

uh...no? not even close, princess. don't have the resources, the money,
the technology, the manpower....and you don't need anything like that here anyway. you're being really dramatic about this, it's what, two weekends out of the year where there COULD be a problem? no, we just gotta find a pokemon type that can help. maybe...i dunno something psychic or electric.

you know what, i'm actually on my way to the safari zone for a day or two, why don't i meet you, you can come with me to the safari zone, then we'll go home for the holidays.

[ She was exhausted, road-weary and weighed down by an unfathomable amount of guilt. Much as she wanted to argue, there seemed to be no point. Moreover, it would involve thinking about Krieg at length.

The last time she'd done that, she'd nearly lost it. ]

There has to be something.
Those Rocket people drained the energy of an Electrode for their cage, right?
Maybe we can work out something similar.

[ She paused to think, tapping her fingers against the gear as she did. ]

I think I would like to make this journey on my own. I will see you in Blackthorn.
