((Speaking of fighting, if either of you want to throw a random encounter in feel free. Same as if you feel like we should skip ahead to the canyon. I'll probably be starting a bonding thread for whatever Apollo meets there below at some point too, but that'll probably just float somewhere in continuity while we continue tagging, if that's okay.))

The soybeans in the tofu had to die without growing a new soy plant to become food. Humans can't live without taking lives, even if those lives are plants instead of Pokémon. You just have to remember that whatever you eat, be it grass, berries, or Pokémon, you have to live its part. Don't waste a thing.

I'm not sure how good I am at fighting, but I can hold my own. You're right, though. Enlightened can do more than just fight. We can help humans and Pokémon understand each other and live in harmony.
