It's good that you didn't lose your Pokémon. I don't know how rare Trapinch is, exactly, but I'll be careful either way.

[Paul's own vengeful streak sympathizes. He'd feel the same way in that situation if his pride was hurt - glad that he didn't lose his partner, but injured and angry nonetheless.]

Your advice has been very useful. When I get to Goldenrod I'll have to find your employer. Maybe I can find a job with her. That line of work is one I think I could be helpful with.

Really? Have you got any experience with this sort of stuff?

[desertpowered]

In the world where I came from, I had to be quick on my feet to stay alive - so I'm good at noticing things. Small details in the environment, identifying poisons, reading people's body language. If there was something even slightly wrong and I missed it, it could cost me my life. I was taught how to fight people older and stronger than I am.

So yes, I think I could help.

[That sounds like a very familiar set of skills. That's essentially all the things Aguefort also teaches its students, with a healthy dose of magic on top.]

Huh. Are you some sort of adventurer too?

[desertpowered]

No - I was royalty, back in my home universe. It's not as pleasant as it sounds. When you're a member of a powerful family, you have powerful enemies.

[Paul smiles bitterly. In some ways, the relative anonymity of the Pokémon world is better for him, and safer, though he knows better than to let his guard down completely.]

But a lot of those skills can be transferred to adventuring, you're right about that. And it sounds like it's a good idea to be careful with Team Rocket about. It wouldn't be the first time I've had to defend myself.
