[Surprise, you've met the fucker, Erina. But whatever, it's probably fine. She's just a stubborn brat at the end of the day.
It's... a lot to take in and sounds more familiar than she's honestly wanting to believe. Deep breaths, it's fine, Demon's already hopped up on the bed to lay his head in her lap. Right, pet the sylveon...]
Does... it? I guess it might or whatever? Don't really pay that much attention. [Another bold faced lie, but she's pretty sure she'd done a pretty good job of hiding all of that nonsense from everyone else who isn't Erina. It's not fair, honestly.]
I mean, that's the way to go about it. That way it's... exactly what you want and you don't have to do any additions or alterations or whatever any time soon. [This is a safer topic!!!!]
Empathy surely does. I love you very much, Jolyne, of course I'm upset for you, and because you are also hurt. It doesn't mean that I pity you for your fate. It certainly doesn't mean that I am incapable of recognizing that hurt.
[Case in point: this entire conversation. And knowing that if she ever goes home, she will have to see what happens to Jonathan firsthand.]
Oh, do stop with the fibs, Jolyne. We can be honest with one another without you puffing your chest up like a popinjay might to dissuade me. There is certainly nothing wrong with admitting there are times when you are unsteady.
[HMPH.]
It is in the future, though. We've quite a bit of money to raise before then, after all.
Oh my gooooood. [This is the actual Worst Conversation right about now and she's flopping back onto that bed with a loud huff. At least Demon's holding the 'gear for her now with those feelers of his.]
'm not unsteady, it's fine. Everything's totally and completely fine and I'll just... get over it or something. Can't keep being bothered by the ocean or whatever forever, right? That ain't how it works. [Says the woman who pretends everything is fine forever.] I don't really wanna talk about it anymore, it's a circle.
[Rude!!!!]
Just do some gyms or something, you gotta have strong enough Pokemon between the two of you to do a few at this point?
[Erina gives her a flat look. Certainly it has become circular in shape, but she will let it drop for now. One does not simply get over such a thing.] Very well, just do not pretend that it is fine when it is not.
[As for the other matter.]
That is presently the plan between egg sales. Peda is getting quite strong, but one cannot defeat a gym with one pachirisu alone.
[Hey, she's done worse and dumber things than this. She'll figure something out. Probably. Maybe.]
You mean you haven't been training anything else at all, or...? Because that sounds a little insane to rely on one Pokemon and one Pokemon alone even for travelling. [Says the woman with a billion fire types, but It's Fine, Probably.]
[Why the hell a pachirisu is her strongest... Right. She's just shaking her head slowly and taking the 'gear from Demon to set up somewhere so he can rest his head on her chest and she can scratch behind his ears.
She seems calmer with the curtains, at least. So there's that.]
They got a lot of weaknesses, so I'd try to get at least a core check for each type of Pokemon out there. But you know, I did that shit competitively.
Not that it means much since it looks like a good chunk of people already did that shit... [She shrugs slowly, not seeming to be too bothered about it, but whatever.]
But hey, good luck to you. Or if you got questions about a gym or battling or whatever, I'm not really doing that much these days.
'Cause if it's something anyone can do, what's the big deal? [Oh good lord, Erina, you're going to have a lot of work to do here. At least for now she seems content to not argue too much about it.]
Dunno. The prize money and such was nice, but other than that, don't see the big deal. And with little else to challenge me at this point... [She thought she'd be fine to settle down and more or less retire from that kind of thing, but this girl's always insanely antsy and ready to do something else.]
Especially when the majority of my Pokemon are maxed out at this point so there's not that much more I can really teach 'em.
Though on the comment about breeding she huffs softly and turns her attention to the ceiling. That's not a terrible idea, but does she really have room for eggs or something like that...? Hm.]
Maybe. I've dealt with eggs before, but those weren't really... predicted... Might not be a bad thing to do what with them all being maxed out and some having the whole league champion thing under their belts...

Perhaps you should look into pokemon breeding for a while? It will give you something to do in the meantime.
