A Day with Jupiter

On [EN:Gen Ref="255" M="his" F="her" ] way back from exploring, Scottie ran into Jupiter.

Well, well. If it isn't Scottie.

You look kind of happy. Did something good happen?

You won against a tough opponent in a team battle?

Hmm...

You do seem stronger than the last time I saw you.

By that, I don't mean that you've only gotten stronger at battling.

Your bond as a sync pair seems stronger, too.

Being good at battling with strong Pokémon isn't all there is to being a Pokémon Trainer.

A Trainer can only be considered strong once they've developed skills worthy of their Pokémon.

So if Pokémon are trying to get stronger for their Trainers...

then we Trainers need to live up to those expectations.

What about you?

Are you measuring up to your Pokémon as they try to get stronger?

Hmm. You seem confident.

What a modest response. I guess you have a sweet side after all.

Maybe we're the ones who need to put in some extra effort.

Let's both keep striving to improve.

Oh, and I should mention...

It's not just your Pokémon's expectations you have to meet.

After all, on Pasio you battle as a team.

When you're part of a team, or any kind of group, you have to keep meeting expectations to fulfill your role.

I guess that's one thing you have in common with those of us in Team Galactic.

It applies to me, too, as someone who works for Master Cyrus.

It's a lot of pressure having to meet the expectations of a team...

but it gives me energy to push myself to become stronger.

So I'll keep my expectations high for you going forward.

Let's see whether you make it or break down under the pressure.

Hehe. Well, give it everything you've got.
