I guess that's how it is with everything. Even the plants grow better when there are other dead plants to use as fertilizer...

It feels a lot of people still think that Pokémon are there just to harm us... But I think they just want to live the way they know how. That was the lesson we were supposed to learn, back in those old days, wasn't it...?

[And because they were probably getting a little trite now, Lucas smiles, a bit embarrassed.]

I kind of hope there aren't any Pokémon near any iron mine we find. It feels a little like stealing.

((I could throw in a random encounter if you guys want!))
