[ She's certainly not going to admit it, but there's a pang of jealousy when she sees that his dad taught him how to walk. She wasn't sure that her dad was around her often enough to teach her anything personally, except the sting of disappointment. ]

Yeah. Well. Sort of. Yakuza is the best word for it, but it operated more on stuff like blackmail of powerful people with a lot less of the footwork. Espionage was a big thing, too. Corporate and political espionage was something they were having good luck on, but I don't know all the details. He got caught, and I got kidnapped before I got to learn just how far that went. Oh right. There was a lot of smuggling too.

Cool, so you should be able to safely say he taught you. Uh. Pokemon battling? Maybe? Or is that something traditionally self-taught? I've only caught a few things about that, and it's really outside of my social knowledge since, you know, different worlds.

i dnt think n1 tried w/me but dad was a businessman and GL 2 the public, so.. idk. prob 2 high risk

But it was mostly dad w/he had time, grunts, and skool, tho more skool cuz they teech that kinda thing evn tho parents r pected 2 do tht stuff or lik teh basics. lik by 11 ur excpected 2 no the general stuff like match ups n types and basic items.

i had match ups mem'd by 9.

[At least that's how it was for him and it isn't like he knows any other way than what he did or what his school did.]

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.

[ Meanwhile Ruby: Protected by nothing but her ability to manipulate the people around her and other areas she'd been trained in. ]

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. ]

late, so feel free to ignore

[namesaquestion]

(Sorry I'm late, health happened. Feel free to ignore)

Oh yeah. I totally can. It can be a long game though, and it takes being willing to put on a mask and keep it on, depending on the situation.

You have my knowledge at your disposal. I was being trained to manipulate from an early age, since I was to take over the family business, so I had a good head start.

I'm going to start wishing I was born in your world at this rate. I want to be in a world where animals are so strongly connected with humanity.

That sounds like a good idea.

People say that until they're kidnapped by fairies and made to be their slaves for eternity...
