11th treasure [audio]

[captainash]

Can anyone explain to me what was supposed to be so horrible about challenging Whitney? She was really sweet when we talked, and the info she shared about Normal-types is going to be useful when I move on. I fail to see what's warning-worthy about that.

[Seriously, what could possibly be annoying about that nice, friendly young lady?]

Comments

[captainash]

Of course they can. Even normal sports can get you nasty injuries if you're not careful, no showing off intended.

[tendered]

Yeah, but I don't think that's likely to happen. I don't think someone would injure themselves on my trampoline, especially since I can make barrier magic to prevent serious injuries.

[captainash]

That would definitely stop great displays of childish bravery cold.

[tendered]

And falls too, haha. In fact, the trampoline's spell original intention is to stop falls. If I need to, I can quickly turn it into a net where you can't really bounce on it.

[captainash]

A great jump, foiled by a net? How embarrassing for the kids.

[tendered]

That's what you get when you get a little dangerous! You ruin the fun for everyone!

[captainash]

That could have a terrible impact on their social lives.

[tendered]

Yeah! They'd always be known as the guy who ruined everyone's trampoline day!

[captainash]

Can't get a much worse reputation than that, at that age.

[tendered]

Yeah, but maybe I might offer them redemption sometime soon or something, hehe. Who knows!

[captainash]

How generous of you. Trying to win their hearts?

[tendered]

No! I just don't want to be unpopular with the young ones. You know how they can be sometimes! And I love fostering a play time for the kids!

[captainash]

Play time for the kids, huh... That does sound fun. I'll have to try it, one of these days.

[If he ever gets back to his boy.]

[tendered]

Hehe! We can try it together, if you want! I'm sure we can find a way to make a fun daycare for a day. [ And only a day. She's too tired to do it all day erryday. ]

[captainash]

Do you really think we could last for a whole day?

[He has his doubts.]

[tendered]

I think we can! You're authoritative but I connect with kids really well! We can make a really good team together!

[ She doesn't. ]

[captainash]

Hey, I could easily be the cool grown-up, you know.

[Or the grown-up that encourages kids to fight for their beliefs against the whole universe. That works, too.]

[tendered]

But authority makes you cool! { She can't exactly explain to him that she's walk all over material usually. ]

[captainash]

Too much of it and they stop listening to you, though.

[tendered]

Yes but you can balance authority with tenderness well! You were able to get Whitney to not cry!

[captainash]

Apparently, that's mostly because of our shared favorite type.

[tendered]

Really?! She didn't cry for any other reason? I wonder if I talked up normal types, would she be happy with me....? They really are cute!

[captainash]

I used five of them during the fight. I think she appreciated that, too.

[tendered]

Hehe! So she was enough to give that much trouble, huh? I feel like a lot of people consider the gym leaders weak, but I think they're pretty much stronger than us as a whole. They only test up to a certain attribute we surpassed though.

[captainash]

It depends on when you decide to face them, really. Bugsy didn't give me any trouble, but I had Fire- and Flying-types at much higher levels than his team.
