[Have a weary-looking Cybil with a Zubat curled up, sleeping, on her shoulder. She looks...slightly miffed but she's keeping her cool and taking a breather in a Pokemon Center.]

Of course the weather starts getting better as soon as I get here. Don't think I want to be caught in the middle of traveling in a storm like that ever again.

I should have payed attention to the weather more carefully before heading out...I'm usually more forward-thinking than this...

[She rubs the back of her neck and shakes her head.]

So, for curiosity's sake [and she motions to the Zubat snoozing on her shoulder] how common are these bats? I caught this one before I headed out, but took shelter in a local cave and, even though I wasn't able to see much, I did catch glimpses of them every five seconds. I wish I was exaggerating.

[Sloppily privated to Heather]

Well, I've made it to Violet City. How'd you fare through the storm?

Zubat? Yeah, they're pretty common. You'll find them in most caves, especially at night.

Zubat...so that's what they're called?

[she gives her Zubat such a look.]

Guess that means I'll be avoiding caves, then. I don't exactly mind them, but they do get needlessly repetitive.

A lot of people get really tired of them. It's hard to walk more than a few steps in a cave without finding one.

I can believe that.

I mean, we are disrupting their habitat in a way, so it kind of feels wrong getting annoyed with them and having my Pokemon fight them off. But some of them are relentless and won't let me ignore them, so I guess it's necessary procedure...

[blah blah blah slight sensible cop logic.]

Oh, I agree with you. It's really only fair they'd defend their territory.But at the same time, if they're going to attack we might not have a choice but to defend ourselves.

Guess that's why we have these Pokemon in the first place. I'm still not exactly thrilled by the idea of using these guys for sport like the rest of the...enthusiasts and collectors I've bumped into. I caught Blue here [because she's so creative with naming her Pokemon] on accident.

I didn't really want to fight at first, either. I still don't--but it seems more or less necessary here. Besides, most of mine seem to have fun with it.

There's just something that feels dirty about making animals fight. I've been assured that they don't mind it but...still, it's something to get used to. But, I guess, when in Rome...

[her voice trails off. she didn't have any problems when it came to shooting monsters, after all, she is a cop. but these animals have proven to be relatively harmless despite their "powers".]

I'm Cybil Bennett. I don't believe we've talked prior to this.
