❀ 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.]

That's okay, though! If you don't have enough strength, you can trust in the strength of your friends to support you. Right?

You don't think that would be burdening them?

Not if you're also helping them! If everybody's helping each other then everyone can share the burden. It might seem bad to have other people share your burden, but you're also sharing theirs, and helping them. Everybody works together to form a well-rounded team, whether they're people or Pokémon.

We're all riding the same track to ride down, after all. A train with the cars all connected will work better than the cars trying to work by themselves.

A well rounded team... that's made up with different strengths?

Yes. Most trainers build a team as they go on their journey. That's where I met most of the Pokémon I've raised, aside from the Pokémon I started with.

Mm... Too bad I can't go on a journey

[The last part is mostly whispered to herself. She's heard so many journey stories of friendship and gaining strength that she is a bit jealous.]

It is. It puts you at a disadvantage... but you can do it! Just keep on riding down the track as far as it will go, and don't give up!

The track?

Yes! Move forward, with the determination and drive of a train through a tunnel! No matter how dark, it will emerge at the end dutifully and on schedule!
