A Day with Misty

One day, Scottie was walking along the beach.

[EN:Gen Ref="255" M="He" F="She" ] heard someone shout excitedly and turned [EN:Gen Ref="255" M="his" F="her" ] head to find...

We lost?! Aw man... Well, we almost had you!

*chuckle* True. It was close up until the very end.

Too close! How about we battle again and see who wins this time!

Oh, hi, Scottie!

Oh, hi, Scottie! Yep! I hope so anyway!

Nessa and I just finished up a quick battle.

But I wanna keep going! Next round, I'm positive I'll win!

Hang on, haven't you and Psyduck been training since this morning, Misty?

Don't you think it's time for a break?

No way! We're totally fine. Let's keep the battles rolling!

I know, but...

Well...when you look at me like that, I don't know...

*sigh* All right, all right... Let's take a break.

I think that's for the best. What's got you in such a hurry today anyway?

You may have noticed during our battle, but my Psyduck reeeally loves to loaf around.

When we traveled around Kanto together, he was always waddling at the back of the group.

And you're hoping a bit of extra training might help him grow out of it?

That's the theory! Plus, he always tries his very best...

What kind of Trainer would I be if let him down when he's trying so hard? I couldn't do that!

I want us to keep getting stronger together, and maybe one day I'll get to see him waddle right past the rest of the group!

That's so like you, Misty. Always wanting to take care of others.

Oh? Do you think Psyduck knows we're talking about him?

Probably. I'm pretty sure he understands us for the most part.

So he likes to do things at his own pace, but he's actually a really hard worker... Maybe that noggin of his is burning with energy we just can't see!

Maybe! What's on the inside doesn't have to match the outside. You know, that kinda reminds me of you in a way.

Um, what?

You usually look so cool and composed, but once you're focused on a battle, it's like nothing else exists, right?

You're...not wrong about that.

See? You and Psyduck are more alike than you think.

I think you might be right... And now all I can think about is helping Psyduck live his best life!

I want to be there when he finally waddles past the rest of the group!

Do you want to train with us, too, Scottie?

A second ago, you said we should take a break, and now you want to help Psyduck train?

All right! Why don't the three of us have a battle, then?

Don't underestimate us, though.

Psyduck may still be in training, but he's got a whole lot of power hiding under that cute face!

Ready for a taste of his true strength?
