>>7115"Well, just because we have Pokemon friends doesn't mean we are really strong. It would be really easy for a really strong trainer to come bully their way into town. Just imagine if a really strong trainer came in with a Nidoking or something and defeated everyone and kicked us out. I mean, we have to protect the fairies. It's better to just scare them off without fighting."

Right, with that sorted out, it's time for a bit of training. I'm falling behind everyone else, so I've really got to step it up.
…Kinda don't want to go hunting around in the Fairy forest, though. Doesn't seem right. Don't think I'm strong enough to take the shrinekeeper… so I guess I'll head to Fandango.
