❀ 9th Weed in the Garden - Voice/Action ❀

[The victory against Masaomi, the hard training from Green, and Green's question about power... It's got her thinking. Is she powerful? Is she catching up? Is the day she can fight side-by-side with her impressive friends close? She doesn't want to be a burden. She wants to be strong. She wants to help.]

Luceti? I want to know what you think makes you strong. How does a person get strong? Or what do you do to make yourself strong?

[If one-on-one is more your sort, anybody can find Shiemi outside of the clothing shop trying to wrap a scarf around her 7ft+ metal bird. It can't be easy facing winter weather when you're metal. Especially when facing it after a nice heat wave.]

I-in fact we beat my rival not too long ago!

Mm, more than one...

O-oh! Sp-speaking of poké- We beat Masaomi and Linda!

U-um, thank you?

Well, my Pokémon is a skarmory, and she's a big metal bird.

Th-the what? I think Skarmy needs tr-training not th-theorems!

Eh? I guess? How would you use it in a different way?

Yeaaah, I guess training is the real way to go, huh? [But still. Lasers.] That's how things worked back home! You traveled aaall over the place, fought these monster guys and got stronger just like that. It was like you didn't have to do anything at all.

No, of course not. It's bad if you think that there are types of strength that don't matter. As long as you're working to improve yourself, then you are headed in the right direction, I think.

If you're talking physical strength, you train. I'm sure plenty of people would help with that, too. If you mean strength like being brave, well... that tends to come out when someone you care about is in danger.

I don't really have any cool moves. After all, I'm not a professional wrestler.. and Ikki-kun told me that I'm not allowed to wrestle anymore from now on.

If you want more friends, then all you have to do is to get out there and make some! But I don't think the number is important. Quality, not quantity and all that.

Wow. I would love to see her sometime. Would that be alright?

That's easy. Strength is being able to support your friends and family, no matter how much they're suffering. It's being able to stay and support them through the worst of times.

Raising Pokémon and getting strong with them is one thing. I see a lot of strong trainers. But being there for Ingo is a more important strength, to me.

[The Pokémon's step forward makes the Saiyan fall back a few steps, palm going up to blast it- but Shiemi's hand raising to stop the bird gives him enough reason to lower his hand.

So an eyebrow raises from hardened eyes and he gives her a intrigued look, sparked from that small action.]

So let me get this straight. [An index finger is directed at Skarmy.] That...thing...is your friend. [Bizarre.] And what is it that you do exactly that would put the two of you in danger? [No offense Shiemi- but you don't look like a fighter to him.]

Mm, a lot of people agree! I think that's really good.

But you're close to Mr. Ingo?

I see... I used to be the kind of person who was weak and didn't have any friends.

...

Sure, let's go with that.

Of course! He's my twin brother. I am Emmet. I am a Subway Boss. I work together with Ingo in the Battle Subway!

[It's okay. She doesn't look like a fighter to anyone. That won't stop her, though.]

We've helped protect this village when it was invaded with Shift Hunters and Droids. There are other people in Luceti who have Pokémon too. We aren't a threat to people. We want to protect them.
