“Oh, her. It is her second time in here. Her name is Laurie. Last time she lost on her first fight, if memory serves me right. Her interview was really easy. They are usually harsh on the newcomers and the ones who lose at zero wins; and she was both things. They must have taken pity on her due to her young looks and cute face. They just cracked a few jokes about her age and then had her bend over for the camera. That was it.”
“T-that was it? They had her present her private parts to be recorded by some perv!”
“What does that matter? You get naked anyway. Do you know what I had to do the first time I lost? They took a picture of my full-frontal and told me they would post it on the entrance of the Pokécenter. Then they asked me really intimate questions while I danced for them, mostly concerning my masturbation habits. I felt so… powerless.” The things this woman says are horrible, but her face is that of pure enjoyment, like a girl in love talking about her first date. “It was amazing! I never have thrills like that anymore. And they lied about posting my picture, the pansies! They are all bark and no bite. They should have blackmailed me and force me to work nude for a day. That’s what they should have done!”
Aaaaand, this conversation is over. Oh, next fight is about to start.
a) Make preparation for my next fight. Finding out who my opponent is, and what’s their strongest Pokémon would be a good start.
b) Maybe I judged Joy too quickly? These things she’s saying about interviews could actually prove themselves useful for when that happens to me.
c) Provoke Helga into attacking me. It shouldn’t take that much.
d) Watch the next fight.
e) Write in.
