Mine was a politician. I think it has less to do with risk and more to do with the fact that my father had very powerful enemies, and my existence became known when one of those enemies managed to get inside enough to report some of his holdings as belonging to a criminal, and I just happened to be in one of those safe houses. And the government, the giant fools that they were, didn't think to give me any form of guards when they put me into the foster system, so I got abducted by those powerful enemies I mentioned earlier. Who had, by the way, infiltrated the government a lot easier than they did my father's holdings. It was very stupid.
Yeah. Sucked a lot. And while I can't say I gave them hell the whole time, because I was pretty preoccupied with not being given a traitor's death, I was key to the destruction of the cult. In the end what they did to me was their own downfall, so I'm pretty smug about my ability to get revenge when I really want to.

Your minders had pokemon, too? I wish my minders had come with animals. That sounds like a lot of information to pack away all at once if they didn't start you on it early. How many types did you say there were?
[ She certainly wasn't going to admit she has no idea if that's impressive to know at nine. She had memorised a lot of seriously complicated things by that age, too, but she didn't really have a life outside of academics and training until she was kidnapped. From the way Niko's spoken, he had a lot of other things to keep up with on top of academics and non-pokemon training. ]
