>>5546298"...Oh..." You rub the back of your head. "Yeah... sorry. I... didn't think it'd end up all complicated like that... twice. In the same match no less..." You look around for a way to change the subject... Oh!
"So... is there a shower anywhere in this base? I am sortof..." You wave your arms. "Drenched."
"Hmmm..." Tom shakes her head. "No but when Carrie gets here with her Ducklett we can make somethng work."
You brighten up. "Great! ...oh yeah!" You toss Tom your pokeball. "Here! A apology pokemon!"
Tom looks at the ball confused. "You're... giving me a pokemon? Why? Do you think I need one?"
"Well..." You shrug. "You DO need two pokemon, but mostly... I guess I feel like I need to GIVE you a pokemon more then you need to have one? You've done a lot for me Tom." You lean against one of the cabinents in the room. "And I... well, Carrie is getting a referral into my Dad's company, but I don't even know your name."
"It's Deb-"
"I didn't say I was ASKING for it!" You quickly interrupt Tom, who frowns at the perfectly good "moment" being ruined.
"Why not? It's a perfectly good name."
"But its more mysterious if I don't know!"
"B-but everyone else in the entire building knows it!"
"But no ones called you by it yet." You tap your temple, smirking at Tom. "Isn't that mysterious? Your like one of those Quickball drawers in old Unova!"
"But I'm not from Unova my dad's from Johto."
"...You have no taste for theatrics." You sigh. This is why you are the leader.
