Well, are you, Andre Duval?She followed that up with a shrug. "It sounds like you're trying. I think as long as you're not all around scum of the fucking earth, I'll think you're pretty okay."
"I don't think we have that where I am," Andre said, "or maybe we do, but we just don't call it that. Sometimes mutations result in coat colors that are rare and unusual, but it sounds like this is something more special."She fixed her gaze back on Andre, eyeing his frames yet again. "The simple answer is I'm just nosy. I like to think I just have a very pronounced moral compass, but, at the end of the day, I'm also just nosy," she explained. "I only got involved in this one particular case because the drug was largely affecting shiny Pokemon. You know what those are right? The weird colorings on Pokemon's coats?"
Andre was glad to hear Odette refer to her training partner as her friend. That made him trust more that this was one of the good trainers.She waited for him to answer before she went on. "Anyway. My friend, Enora. She's shiny. She'd been my friend and training partner since before she evolved, and the thought of her falling victim to what that drug was doing to other 'mon just made me fucking nuts. And then seeing it in action was like--" Anger flickered across her face, and she was left shaking her head disdainfully. "Some fuckheads shouldn't have partners, Pokemon or human. I'd run them all over with a truck if I could. Alas, I only have a license for motorcycles," she added in jest.
His ears perked at the mention of running people over. How serious was she with that? Would she actually kill them if she could get away with it? Could she possibly be like him? Could she be trusted with his secret?
No, not at all. What was he thinking? Of course it was just exaggeration. There was no one like him here, just like there was no one like him back home. He had to keep his secret a secret if he wanted to fit in.
Andre beamed. "I know it's not my world, but I feel the need to thank you for your service. You really sound like a hero to me."With a sigh, she was able to calm herself down. "That said, Enora has stuck her neck out for me more than once, so it just felt like another time to return the favor and get a bunch of other unwilling 'mon out of a shit situation. So I shoved my hand in the door, and..." she gestured out in front of her, pressing her lips into a tight line. "Ta-da."
