["My older sister's a champ at bluffing. I had to learn to be just as good as her and my mom, though my little sister isn't interested at all. Poppa never approved, but it's too fun to give up. But I guess that's what you get for being an officer's daughter. Having Raab helps a lot too. We're in this together."
["That's what I aim for. She's perfection itself!" longing sigh
ah yes raab
"I won him in a hustle when I was visiting Celadon City before it, you know, all went to hell. His other trainer was using him to cheat other players out of their money, just regular innocent people, and I put down something of equal importance to save him. Raab's never gotten rid of his gambling habit, so he must've raised to do this... It's helped a lot though. We're doing it for good now by hustling people who hustle in the first place."
it sounds like the same thing but it's different okay]
["You bet. I can't stand the sight of a con man. I'm sure he was doing it for fun or whatever, but those people he hustled have families to feed too. And goading them into losing all that money wasn't nice at all."
kind of a jerk move really
maybe he's better now she'd have to see for herself about mr hot shot]
["I wouldn't say it's just Kanto lacking in those kinds of people... Most people - like your boyfriend - would say they deserve it for gambling in the first place. There's not much of the sport since the Game Corner was renovated here. So it only stands to reason that hustlers get what's coming to them in the end too, right? Myself included!"
she laughs a little, then shakes her head. "What about you and that Sneasel you had with you last time we met? How did you two meet?"]
[not much, since it's late night and the only patrons who are up are either drinking socially or too busy playing the totally unrigged slots and whatnot, but they get a few glances since you know kanto and stuff
must've run away from the rockets shrug
"That really is by the border. It's the one that has that big forest, right? And below it is where Professor Oak used to live at. You've come a long way." don't worry she's got her voice lowered]
no subject
she shrugs]
no subject
Where... Wait, it's your turn now. Right?
no subject
it's a silly small question but she's seen more dye jobs than she could shake a fist full of money at]
no subject
no subject
okay cool it is natural wow
"I wish I had red hair. Heroes like redheads, you know? And your freckles are nice too." oh well
your turn]
no subject
Where'd you meet Raab?
no subject
ah yes raab

it sounds like the same thing but it's different okay]
no subject
...Did Raab ever belong to Team Rocket, or was it some random guy?
Regardless, hustling hustlers... She isn't afraid to play a little dirty to get at the bad guys.
Okay.]
Which is why you put Gold in his place.

[There's no sarcasm in his tone at all. It's still weird to think that people can just be so... So generous in looking out for other people.]
no subject

no subject
Sneasel.]
We've been together since we were babies. Dad said I found him while playing outside and just wouldn't let go. He's sleeping with Gold right now.
no subject
the abra sleeps peacefully in her lap he don't care he likes his story well enough
"You must've lived closer to the border than I thought, if you found a Sneasel baby. I don't hear about many of them being found in Kanto."]

I went through Mt. Silver to get to Johto. That's why I was sick when we first met.
no subject
"Is that why your hair was pink, too?"]
no subject
just like everything he does-]
No, but I don't think you'd believe me if I told you why it was.

shh]

no subject
now who's turn was it to ask a question... "Oh, your turn!"]
no subject
Do you have any other partners?
no subject
"Usually not. It's easier to make a quick escape if things get bad with just one Pokémon, you know? But just recently, I caught a rare Pokémon." she looks around, then takes out a ball from her jacket
inside's a ditto
"Lucky, right? I haven't figured out what to do with him yet, like how Raab can teleport me out of danger and all. But his name's Todit."]
