*hello, Johto, have a certain silver-haired king looking thoughtful and perhaps a bit concerned....*

You know, the apparent lack of effort on the part of the local law enforcement is one thing, but does anyone else find it troubling that no one seems to be doing anything about the crimes carried out within just the last week? Particularly in the middle of such large cities; I imagine it's nearly enough to make one rethink walking the streets alone, all things considered.

Maybe the culture is different here.

This seems to encourage him to elaborate.]

Maybe the law enforcement don't think this stuff is as... dire. Who actually walks the streets here alone?

Right, Nanci?

[Another twitch of the antennae.]

I suppose that's technically true. Though I'd still hate to be caught out when training with the weaker members of the team...

Honestly, if I was, I'd always try to have my big gun available to switch out. Even for training. The little ones aren't going to learn anything if they're always fainting.

But even so, if they've been stealing from the gym leaders, even...

[Nanci sort of nuzzles into his neck at that thought, but Dick... actually stops himself from shrugging because she is on his shoulder.]

To be fair, gym leaders are a natural target. Besides the money they give out, badges themselves have value, and their Pokemon have to be well-trained.

You know though, that's one thing I've never understood. While highly trained pokemon are generally stronger, doesn't the simple fact that they have been more trained mean that they're less likely to obey someone they aren't familiar with? Which then would theoretically make them poorer targets for thieves...

If you've ever met a thief, you'd know they're not... ah, the brightest Litwick in the room.

Thievery is the ultimate expression of laziness and the people who gravitate to it do so because anything else would require thinking too hard.
