You managed to beat Lance and you managed to beat Sirius. After that, I think you can win." > "Thanks. That doesn't stop me from being a nervous wreck though." She looked at her Pokedex again. "I've neglected too many of my Pokemon. I didn't even start training my Shellder or Oddish. I know they get some training against the kids with my Grandmother, but that's almost like leaving them in a breeding center. All they ever get to fight is the level 2 and 3 stuff Grandma uses to teach the 6 year olds how to be a pokemon trainer. And how good a trainer am I for neglecting them this way? If I was one of those people who used box storage, then those Pokemon wouldn't have seen the light of day in months." "I know the feeling," said Damian. "But if a trainer had only 6 pokemon, they'd be severely limited." "I already know that. I was relying on Nipper as my primary water pokemon, so I neglected Pearl completely. It's a good thing Asterik and Snowflake were at higher levels when I caught them, or I'd be depending on a totally untrained Shellder." She yawns briefly. "I've been working on the pokemon that were higher levels to get them as high as I can before the matches. That's why I've been out around midnight to do my training. Some wild pokemon are more numerous at night.... and there's no press lurking about." Damian laughed quietly. "You really don't like the press that much, do you?" "They make me nervous.... especially when they swarm around like that." <TBC?> -- (o)_(o) || Time Lady, sailrgal@swbell.net _(^*^)_ || sailrgal@hotmail.com, sailrgal@my-deja.com (__ __) || Visit the Mystic Manor Homepage /_/\_\ || http://members.tripod.com/~MysticManor
