39th treasure [audio]

Everyone, my team has a question and demands an answer. Think about it carefully.

[The team in question can be heard, yipping and meowing and squawking animatedly. But that all stops the moment Ash takes a deep breath and speaks again.]

...Which are better: dogs, cats, or birds?

But does that strength come from the cuteness, the cat-ness, or the immeasurable psychic powers?

... probably from how overprotective she is of me.

...Overprotectiveness, the ultimate motivator. Does she use it against prospective team members, too?

Not really. I haven't caught Pokémon in months. Almost all of them were eggs I got or ones that were left behind to me by others...

I guess attacking an egg or a recently-bereaved Pokémon would be crossing a line, overprotective or not.

Yeah. But she does like a lot of them!

That's good to hear. Does her protectiveness extend to them, too?

Yup! She's like the daddy and Himiko is like the mommy to them all.

Wouldn't that make you the doting grandmother, always willing to offer affection or a treat?

Hmm... I guess so. But I'm way too young to be a grandma.

Consider this a practice run for when you'll need it in forty years or so, then. Or a side effect of early adoption.

Practice makes perfect. Even if I don't remember any of this when I go back home.

There's always muscle memory. The moves you need to catch a cat jumping off a bookshelf, to pick up a rat crying over a stubbed toe...

That's true. It'll probably be weird, but it'll probably feel right, too.

Like riding a bike after ten years, or dancing along to a song that was popular twenty years ago.

Mmm... that does make sense. I won't know till I go back home!

It might take a while for you to find out, then. That's more time for practice.

Right! I'll be the most versatile idol ever.

And since there's nothing better than versatility to find work and live independently, you'll be set for life. It's perfect!

I'm already all set here~ If I stay here for a long while, I'll be champion and a super idol in no time!

How ambitious. Are you sure you'll have enough time to both sing and take of your champion duties? ...If they even have duties.

Idols don't just sing! They dance, act, and anything else asked of them! And of course. I'm good at multi-tasking.

In that case, I'd bet the local idols are asked to battle for special events all the time. Guess you could promote an activity and defend your title all at once, if needed.

Oh! That's sounds like a great idea~!

With both the idol fans and the Pokémon fans as a potential audience, surely you'd get a lot of people to come, right?
