[The sudden hissing Pokemon gets a flinch, an automatic response, but she doesn't step back or away. Her hand goes to her belt, where she unclips a Pokeball of her own, but her hand moves slowly. She holds it up for a moment, but hesitates.]

Yeah I've got a Pokemon.

[She's a mankey, not a great match for fighting this seviper, but that's not what's bothering her. It's a nagging feeling, one that's been itching just under her skin since she first started exploring this world. Now, face to face with her first Pokemon battle, the feeling crystallizes and she understands it. She puts the Pokeball back on her belt.]

But I'm not about to let my Pokemon, or yours, get beat up just because I hurt your feelings.

[Oh, you're funny.]

You don't get to pull the 'mature adult' card now.

You knocked down a little kid, blamed them for it, and then you made fun of them for having no parents...

But it's the kid's fault for being upset at you.

[You have Pokemon. Chara can see the ball on your belt.]

You think you are above consequences.

[The Seviper has already slithered around Sophie's feet, forming a double ring of venomous tail and fangs. She's a little confused, to be honest. Where is the other Pokemon? Chara sent her out... but there's no fight?

This is the other trainer....

Where's the Pokemon?]

People like you make me sick.

[Well when you put it that way....yeah Sophie feels kind of bad. She's got this problem where she doesn't ever fucking think about anything she does before she does it. It's not that she thinks she's ABOVE consequences, she just assumes things can't get worse. She's wrong like 90% of the time. ~~Remember how I mentioned she got shot in the head once?~~ Anyway now she's in something of a bind.

She does feel bad. The kid's right, partially. But that still doesn't mean she wants to get innocent pokemon hurt because she's an idiot and this child is apparently a rage volcano. (Pot, meet kettle.) Sticking to her guns about not sending out her primeape makes it seem like she's defending all her other actions too. And okay, to be honest she still thinks that yelling at the kid that bumped into her, and then the sniping banter was...not the right thing but also relatively harmless. The parents thing was definitely over the line though. And she should apologize for it.

Uuuuuuugh.

The kid wouldn't believe her though, it's not gonna sound genuine. She's not great at expressing most emotions, and 'remorse' is so far out of her wheelhouse it's embarrassing. So she can't send out her pokemon because of Principles, but she can't NOT send out her pokemon because the kid's kinda right. This isn't really a problem she can scream or punch her way out of so she has basically no idea what to do.

So she just stands there glaring at her own Pokeball in silence. Congratulations Chara, you've done something very impressive. She's speechless.]

TEST DRIVE MEME

I was going to say 'she's the worst' but we both know that's Technically not true.

Shhhhhh, this is a children's game

>_> casually retcons that mankey into a primeape
