A Day with Zinnia

As [EN:Gen Ref="255" M="he" F="she" ] was strolling through the city one day, Scottie spotted a group of Team Break grunts surrounding Zinnia.

Pshh! Who cares how legendary your Pokémon is! There's more of us than there are of you, girlie! Get ready to eat dirt!

Th-think you can scare us off with a puny cry like that?! Hah! We outnumber you, like, a million to one! C'mon, crew! Surround 'em!

Whoa, look at you! Full points for that sweet, heroic entrance!

Whoa, look at you! Full points for that sweet, heroic entrance!

Hah! Think you can boss me around, twerp? Hope you like the taste o' dirt, 'cause now you're gonna eat it, too! Let's get 'em!

You guys need some imagination.

What's that s'posed to mean?!

Scottie didn't rescue ME with that heroic entrance... [EN:Gen Ref="255" M="He" F="She" ] rescued all of you.

I was ready to beat you crooks to a pulp...

but I'd rather not scar Scottie with a grisly image like that, so it looks like you're off the hook today.

You should thank Scottie. [EN:Gen Ref="255" M="He" F="She" ] came just in the nick of time.

Aaaagh! R-retreeeat!

That was quick...

Wait! You weren't worried about me, were you? I'm totally fine.

Wait! You weren't worried about me, were you? I'm totally fine. No harm done.

Those thugs thought they were gonna steal Rayquaza, if you can believe that. Hah!

I wonder if crooks like them ever felt a sense of duty in the past. It does seem unlikely...

but if a sense of duty were betrayed somehow... Well, I could see how that might lead someone down the wrong path.

But I guess that's really none of my business.

What about you? Have you ever thought about what your duty could be?

Really? I'm curious! You'll have to tell me all about it sometime.

That's totally OK, too. To be honest, I think that's how most people feel.

As for me...I believed that I had a duty once, a mission of great importance.

I jumped through every hoop imaginable to fulfill that duty, trying everything I could think of.

But in the end, the person who accomplished it wasn't even me.

I had a duty that I thought was mine, but it was actually another Trainer who fulfilled it in the end.

Honestly, I'm not really sure.

The point is, we can believe our purpose is one thing with every fiber of our being, but sometimes we're wrong. And that's OK.

Haha! Live and learn, right?

Right now, I'm just trying to figure out what I want to do next, or what I SHOULD do next.

Seems like coming to Pasio might have been a step in the right direction.

Getting to encounter Rayquaza under totally different circumstances than before, and actually getting to partner up with it this time...

It's giving me a lot to think about, y'know? I want to take some time to chew over what my and Rayquaza's next move should be.

It'd probably be good for you to start thinking about what you ought to do in the future, too, Scottie!

Think it through well and good, OK?

The world's unpredictable. You never know what's gonna happen one day or the next.

That's why we've gotta use our imagination! To figure out how to fulfill our role in the world, no matter what happens!
