To see if you could

"Because... I wanted to see if it would really work." You shrugged. "The hacked pokeballs that is. It seemed honestly way too easy to hack them. Just the idea that I had hacked them like that seemed hard to believe, so I put it to the test."

May studied your face for a moment, then chuckled. "If you'd just told me that, you probably could have talked me into letting you try." She paused. "Well, if you could convince me that it wasn't a trick, because however curious I can get, I'm not that naive."

"Well... I'm not about to go telling people." You scratched the back of your head. "I haven't researched Hoenn's laws, but I'm pretty sure this would be all kinds of illegal."

May blinked. "Oh, yeah. It really is." She frowned at you. "You should undo the hacking on the other pokeballs. ... And release me, you've done your test."
