There was the smile again, confident and bright as ever. "Plus, I can fight, too. It doesn't seem right to have two Pokemon fighting for me when I can't fight for them too."

The little Bulbasaur let out a soft saur! as if agreeing and lifted its little arms to reach for another leaf. Rhyssa let it have another and pet the top of its head with her forefinger.

"I like to watch the woods from here, though. Just because. You never know what you'll see, right?"
