"No!"
"Hey, I already told you, kid. No free rides." The human man looks at Skowl. "Right, Skowl?"
"Skowooo!"
It seems like he really is going to take the cutécaptor! You had better think of something else to offer him!
"I have coins!"
You didn't mean to say that out loud but the human man and Skowl are both looking at you! Even though you can hardly move, you reach into your jacket pocket and take out your <span class="mu-r">sack of coins</span> and drop it on the floor. Skowl hops across the floor toward the sack of coins and says "Skowooo!"
The human man picks it up and looks inside and then looks at you and Lottatax and says "Hey, you must be a pretty good rookie mon trainer if you're carrying this much money." He looks at the cutécaptor and holds his thumb over the circle! You try to jump up and grab it but you can't move! Finally he says "Alright, I guess I'd rather have the money than have to deal with selling this thing. Skowl, let 'em up."
Skowl says "Skowooo!" and makes a happy squinting face at you and suddenly you feel like you can move again!
Lottatax stands up and wobbles back and forth and says "Lottatax!"
When you stand back up, the human man is looking at you! He holds up the cutécaptor out of your reach and says "You know, I oughta keep this gadget too. That might teach you a lesson!"
What? The human man is going to keep the cutécaptor even though you gave him all your money? That's not fair!
You can't help crying!
"Hey, come on, now!" He crouches down next to you and says "Hey, come on, I was just joking about keeping this thing!" When you look up and wipe your eyes, you see him holding the cutécaptor out to you! "Here, see? Take it."
You take the cutécaptor and put it in your pocket and close your pocket as quickly as you can!
When you look back up, the human man is still crouching next to you! He looks at you and smiles and says "You're worse than <span class="mu-r">Starr</span>!"
"Starr?"
You didn't mean to say that out loud but he's nodding at you! "My daughter. She used to get whatever she wanted by crying."
What? Is the human man saying he's Starr's father?
"Hey, you know something, you remind me of her a little bit. The last time I saw her, she was training <span class="mu-r">a water-type mon</span>."
"Waterbear!"
You didn't mean to say that out loud either but he's nodding again! "That's right!" He looks at you closely and you can't help <span class="mu-r">your cheeks</span> turning red! "Hey, do you know Starr?"
You're nodding your head!
The human man stands up and says "My name's Ben Currant."
You hold out your hand and Ben shakes it!
"Mashi!"
"Well, why don't you and your Lottatax come sit up front where it's more comfortable. We can make room, right, Skowl?"
You sit down in the comfortable chair!
...
"Skowooo!"
Suddenly you wake up and look out the side window and see buildings underneath you! It looks like you're already above Copper Citadel!
