I mean yeah, as best I could. Self preservation, live to fight another day. All that good stuff.
[She almost laughs it's so sad to hear him describe the situation like that. She's also a little irritated. He's lucky he's charming in a stupid way.]
There's always going to be people who want to survive and thrive by being smarter then others. It's just a matter of if they take advantage of the less skilled people in an obvious way, or in a subtle way.
And it's up to the rest of us to keep them in check.
[ Something about her choice of words still seems off. ]
There's being 'smarter' than others, and there's kidnapping sentient creatures to abuse. I've got four Pokemon that were used by Team Rocket. And that shit isn't smart. It's just cruel.
I'll happily repay any Rocket the shit they've done to my Pokemon.
[ Fionn and Broichan, captured and stuffed into too small cages. Ceannfort, used as a living battery endlessly. And of course, Scuabtuinne...literally carved up. ]
[She was aware that not all members of Team Rocket cherished their pokemon as much as she did, but the lines between keeping pokemon enslaved and capturing them in pokeballs was blurry.]
Can't blame you for that. It's one thing to hurt people but animals are another story.
[Even if some of these pokemon were smarter and more powerful then the people trying to control them]
Yeah. Like you said, we gotta be ready for the next time they pull shit like that again. It's why I've been training my mons so much. Anyone trying to grab Danny will have a real hard time of it now.
You know I never thought of myself as a pet owner. I loved the horses and animals at the circus when I was little but I never got a cat or anything back home because I figured it wouldn't be fair to the cat since I was so busy.
Yet here I am not more attached to these pokemon then just about any human I know.
Yeah...I just didn't have the space or money for a pet back home. I liked animals plenty, it just wasn't possible.
And these guys are like...way more than the animals I knew or could have as a pet. They got so much personality and they really understand when you talk to them. It's great.
