A Day with Valerie

One morning, Scottie found [EN:Gen Ref="255" M="himself" F="herself" ] heading toward the sound of a commotion.

There appeared to be a dispute between Trainers.

What's the problem? I'm asking you for a battle!

When Trainers' eyes meet, they've got to have a Pokémon battle! That's just common sense!

An unsavory-looking sync pair seemed to be challenging someone who wasn't interested in a battle.

That Trainer's been going around challenging anyone and everyone to battles, without any care about how they feel.

Huh? What's your deal? You wanna have a battle?

Oh... I was hoping you'd have a Pokémon battle with me...

What an incredibly cute Trainer you are.

Wh-what?! Where'd that come from all of a sudden?

Those clothes look fabulous on you, too... I'm sure you'd look great in some of the clothes I've made.

Wh-what's with you? If you keep complimenting me so much... there's no way I won't start to feel happy.

Oh, your partner Pokémon appears embarrassed as well. Hee hee, what a cute sync pair.

Wha, ?! How?! Why?! My adorable, little Pokémon has totally lost the will to battle!

For badness' sake! I don't even feel like battling anymore. Ugh! I'm heading back to my place for today.

Oh my, she really left...

Scottie? Were you worried about me? Thank you... I'm all right, though.

Scottie? Were you worried about me? Thank you... I'm all right, though.

My Pokémon may appear frail as the breeze and delicate as a bloom, but looks can be deceiving.

Sylveon was emitting an aura from his feelers without that Trainer noticing.

Sylveon's aura can calm aggressive feelings. Pretty smart, right?

I'm more than just an ordinary Trainer, you know... I'm actually...

... ... ...

A Gym Leader? I am, but not here on Pasio...

I'm not working as a designer on Pasio...

... ... ...

Oh, sorry. I got lost in thought and forgot what we were talking about for a moment. Oh, that's right.

I'm pretty carefree, so Sylveon and I are quite similar. We're a good match, I think.

I'm very happy to hear you say that, Scottie.

I'm very happy to hear you say that, Scottie.

I've always wanted to be a Pokémon, and that's reflected in the clothes I design.

I wonder... Does that mean I'd be able to drain an opponent of their will to fight, like Sylveon does?

If I do this...

What do you think? Does it have any effect?

Thank goodness. Next, I think I'll try it out in a Pokémon battle.

That's a shame. But I won't give up trying to become a Pokémon.
