My cat evolved a bit later than the Pokédex said she would, and because of that she can now create genuine money out of thin air. Why has the local economy not collapsed yet?

[Seriously, guys, this question's been tormenting him the whole day.]

Comments

[captainash]

Most people think of them as psychic powers. Predicting attacks, feeling each other, that sort of thing.

[heartdive]

Do you have any?

[captainash]

None at all. I was tested for them and ended up with a D. Lowest score I ever got on an exam.

[...Unlike his dad. And his son. And his best friend.]

[heartdive]

Does that bother you at all?

[captainash]

I got over it a long time ago. Turns out you don't need them to be good at what you enjoy to do.

[heartdive]

Which is what?

[captainash]

Piloting and captaining. My crew manages just fine without them.

[heartdive]

You're a pilot?

[captainash]

I pilot mobile suits every so often if it's needed. It's a nice little hobby.

[And a job and a goal in life.]

[heartdive]

You know I don't know what that is, right?

[captainash]

Sorry. Mobile suit are giant robots mostly used for combat. Most modern models can fly in both the atmosphere and space, and also work on the ground.

[heartdive]

You drive a giant robot!?

[captainash]

When I have the opportunity. I even built one with the rest of my club, back in high school.

[heartdive]

I wanna go to your old school.

[captainash]

Any school in my world would do if you want to do that. They have yearly robot battling competitions in each colony, with only the best participating.

[heartdive]

Sounds like it'd be a lot of fun.

[captainash]

It was. We used to spend our evenings at school, trying to get everything ready for the championships. It was tiring, but those are still good memories.
