A BETTER strategy meeting

“Hmm… Could it be that you’re trying to lose?” Nurse Joy asks honestly. “Is this all just an act to convince yourself that you were trying to come up with a plan, when all you really intend to do is spend the rest of your days as Sabrina’s best friend?”

“Wha- No! How did you come up with that idea!?” you sputter.

“Well, you’re ignoring your Pokemon Professor’s help, you’re refusing to use any other type matchups that would help you, like Bug-types or Ghost-types, and you’re asking me for help! You do know I prefer it when you lose, right? I may be a nurse, dear, but there’s simply no cure for what you’re suffering from.”

Did she just insult you? She just insulted you! When you’re asking her for help! Rude!

“H-Hey! I’m just asking for help! After what Master Kim said, I’m really scared that I’ll lose and I won’t be able to get my badges back! …Besides, bugs are kinda weak and lame, and there was this one ghost who possessed me and took me to some hot springs… It was lewd…”

Nurse Joy looks at you as though she’s humoring a certified moron. “So you won’t catch a Ghost or Bug pokemon because you don’t like them, and you won’t catch a Dark pokemon because you’re so upset by the idea of evil pokemon that you won’t even believe in their existence. Emilia, are you sure you’re not a Psychic-type?”

That. That’s it! You’ve got it! You’ll fight fire with fire!

“Gonna go catch a Psychic pokemon! Thanks Nurse Joy!”

“You? Train a Psychic-type? But you can’t form a psychic bond with a pokemon if you’re an idiot!” Nurse Joy calls out, but you’re already out the door.
