[He wasn’t looking to get Darin in trouble after all. He’s just decided Aegis wasn’t for him.]
Not right now. I think I need to re-evaluate, and focus on my Pokémon more. Especially Charizard since he’s not been the same ever since what happened with Guzma.
But I would rather not put him in that situation to start with.
[He can control Charizard with his dragon mind control, but Lance’s ability with that power if hardly perfect. It takes a lot of concentration and any slip could potentially cause a loss of that control. Plus his own feelings play a part in it. If he got angry with Guzma, it could cause his dragons to attack even if not specifically told to.]
It's... hard to tell with a lot of people here. I wouldn't say it's just Aegis, though, a lot of people don't get it. When I first showed up and even sometimes now people like to act as though they know more about the Pokémon.
[he grunts irritably.]
You dunno how many times I was told I was abusin' my family for battlin' with them. Still sore about it.
That's true, but I feel Aegis only views our Pokemon as weapons.
I can't blame you for that. They view Pokemon on the same level as their animals here, and they can't be compared. There are people in this world who consider pets, like Nikolai's dog, to be enslaved from what I've heard. So a view like that on Pokemon doesn't surprise me.
No. He seems to have realised that staying on the down-low after shooting me is the best option, but I'm doing what I can to monitor him without drawing attention.
[it goes without saying he doesn't trust any members of team rocket, let alone an executive.]
Yeah. I was there. [he exhales.] Uh-- jokin' aside, I'm sorry I didn't tell ya. I probably should've given it was a Rocket thing, but I got a bit wrapped up in... well. Not dying.
Lost my shit and kicked the hell out of him again. He really has a way with words that sends ya spirallin' quickly.

Do you think you'll join another team? There are a couple imPort ones...

Re: Voice
Of course. How are they doing?
Voice
Charizard has become extremely over protective of me and I think he might try to kill Guzma if he gets the chance.
Re: Voice
[he looks down at the burns on his arm as he says that.]
Let me know if you want to let 'em hang out with mine.

Personal feelings aside, I also don’t believe anyone in Aegis really understands the value of our Pokémon.

Re: Voice
[it hurts him to open it up - still feeling grief over blue and red - but he sends lance the file.]
Voice
[Lance doesn't reply back for several minutes as he reviews the file. Eventually he does though.]
Aside from Nikolai's part at the end, that's actually very impressive. I'll be using it from this point on.

[He can’t not agree there.]
Speaking of which, has there been anything from Archer lately?
Re: Voice
[it goes without saying he doesn't trust any members of team rocket, let alone an executive.]
Voice
[His tone is very surprised and his grumpiness melts away for concern.]
Why is this the first I’m hearing about it? Are you all right? Is Nikolai all right? Why isn’t that man in jail?
Re: Voice
Uhh... yeah, a month or so ago. I didn't really tell anyone, honestly... didn't want to make a big thing of it.
[because it sucked and he almost died.]
Nikolai is fine. Archer claimed self-defense and wasn't even really wrong about it, so...
Voice
[He's not going to nag though. That would be Guzma’s job. If Guzma even cares enough which he doubts.]
What did you do?
Re: Voice
Lost my shit and kicked the hell out of him again. He really has a way with words that sends ya spirallin' quickly.
Voice
[He could have helped, but it was moot at this point.]
I can’t really blame you, but not the best way to handle it obviously. Especially now we know he’s armed.
Re: Voice
Fuck! I shoulda even warned ya he's found firearms! [YOU REALLY SCREWED THE POOCHEYNA ON THIS ONE, ARCHIE]
Voice
That would have been good, yeah. I haven’t crossed paths with him though. Yet, anyway. But now I know.
Re: Voice
[a pause, then:] Did you know he's a lawyer?
Voice
And yeah I did. It’s why he’s so good with words.
