>>55434647>All's well that ends well.Unfortunately some civilians are out of touch and blame the hero if so much as one thing goes wrong sometimes. A handful of hostages died in an attack as opposed to her letting HUNDREDS die? Still gonna end up getting blamed for "not doing enough" in a situation with no possible perfect outcome to it. So she's kinda on-guard about it. More people being capable of protection means less likelihood of coming up short with victims dead and/or homes/livelihoods destroyed in the crossfire. Or at least that's how it is in Emily's mind anyway.
>but Koa just thinks that as long as he's doing what's right (which he doesn't see in terms of what *he* believes, he's a lot more boxed in and acts in ways he's seen from his family or the Kahunas as "what's right")This is maybe the one thing he'd probably be at odds with Emily about. She's a very self made and self defined girl. A very rare individual who can truly say they took the route they did and fight the battles that she does solely for her own reasons rather than because of a belief some kind of populace has or because someone ordered her to. She admittedly has an outright disdain for people who try to take on roles like the one Koa does for the kind of reasons that a more "boxed in" person does.
She idolizes Red as a Trainer but it's simply that, idolization for his abilities as a Trainer. Beyond how he seemed to just take the crown, toss it aside and vanish, sending the Pokemon League at the time into a likely hissyfit. That somewhat shapes how she plans to shake the Pokemon League to it's core a second time (but will never get the chance due to major plot events majorly changing things), she doesn't really get her actions influenced by Red beyond that. She wouldn't bother attacking Koa for it or let a threat go unchecked just cause he's there, but she probably wouldn't outright like him because of that "boxed in mindset" either.
