"Don't see what the big deal is, anyway," Leaf huffed. "I'm fourteen, but my friends and I have done tons of traveling and training and knocking a bunch of thugs on their asses. The way I figure it, if someone was confident enough that they could help, and the Voice even bothered asking in the first place, then they've got every reason to be here. Not like anyone's a literal baby, right?" Her tail swished jauntily, managing to mostly disguise an irritated twitch.
Leaf smiled at Espurr when she stepped up; she would've been game for a little arm wrestling, but even with the weird bendy-grippy stuff it probably made more sense to let someone with, y'know, actual arms give it a shot. And anyway arm wrestling was cute and all, but she could do that back home whenever. If she was gonna be a pokémon now then she wanted to know how to battle, and it sounded like that meant figuring out how to get in to that dojo.
"Why wouldn't a mayor be a good enough sponsor? Amelia said everyone here trusts her. Who would we even ask, if not Mayor Enubel?"
Espurr turned to the robot thing, who had just offered to... arm wrestle? Eh, why not.
"I can go next," she said. "If you were offering, that is..."

"Pardon me, you also asked about helping out at the Ranger Union? That is most altruistic of you! I should caution you that the rangers only recruit strong pokémon with good reputations, however! ...Please forgive my presumptuousness, but if Miss Anubel has offered to sponsor you, that may not be sufficient! I am more than happy to stop at the HQ on our way, but – my apologies – please do not anticipate that you will walk out with ranger badges, sirs and misses."
