Extremely nervous/shaky voice-testing. Also very early Indigo League/Kanto Misty?

[watertypes]

Do you even have a clue what you're doing?

[No.]

Well, at least you're willing to admit it when you're clueless, unlike some people I could name...

I've been hearing from others here though that you go through these "phases" and I might just be your latest "phase". We need to talk about that, mun. You can't just assume I'm okay with that, because I'm not! I deserve better than to be paid attention to one week and then ignored the next! If you're starting this, you're in it for good! No backing out, do you hear me?!

Ah, I'm Misty. From the Kanto region... Cerulean City. It's nice to meet you. Both of you! [She gives a smile to his Pokemon before looking back at him.]

And you're right, I've never heard of those Pokemon before... Or even of the Unova region... [She trails off a little, and looks a little shocked at his next question.] Uh, no, I don't think so... I hope to be one day, though! I'd love to be a famous actress! [Well, she's at that age where she'd like to be a lot of different things. And she hasn't been on television yet, but she will have been in her near future. She doesn't know that, though.]

A Subway Boss? Is that anything like a Gym Leader?

How very nice to meet you, Miss Misty. Are you a trainer yourself?

There are only two Subway Bosses and they are myself and Emmet. Trainers come from all over the region to challenge us to double battles. It is a bit difficult to compare us to Gym Leaders as we are a very different breed... but you may consider us as the stop between a Gym Leader and a member of the Elite 4.

[In other words, Master-status without the League obligations!]

[She nods in response to his question.] My specialty is water Pokémon. I grew up with them, too.

...Wow. [Well, Misty's impressed. She turns her head a little again to look at Chandelure, smiling.] I guess that means you're pretty strong, huh?

[brothertragedy]

Ah, Water Types... very beautiful, very serene, much like the sea, but so capricious, with the capacity for devastating power. [Like Misty's temper! </earlyKantoAsh>] It is said Pokemon grow to resemble their trainers, but I believe the reverse is just as possible. Perhaps you've grown to possess certain qualities associated with your favoured Type...

You are welcome to challenge us and see for yourself.

If I were to grow complacent and say, "yes, I am strong" and leave it at that, would that be true strength? No, it would be a meaningless display. When challenged by a worthy opponent, a promising trainer such as yourself, only then can I show something worthy of being called strength...

Do you agree? Disagree?

[Chandelure smiles back, flames flickering; it floats around Misty's head playfully.] Cha~n!
