The only truly good part about being stuck in Johto was that he had Louise here with him. If they agreed on something and worked together towards the same end, Kia didn't doubt that it would be able to happen. They'd been partners through enough that he trusted Louise's plans nearly completely.

Not trusting him when violence was involved was simply because Louise hadn't dealt with as much of it as Kia had.

"Your team's getting strong enough that you can probably start fighting the locals and the gyms. There's money in that if you can't see yourself working like me." Goldenrod was a large enough city that Kia felt sure he'd be able to find work of some sort and if not here, than they just had to take the train to find even more places with the chance of employment.

He listened to the plan and nodded once he realized the reason for that date. A decent number of people were interested in racing and as much as that meant losing their bet, it also meant money from entry fees. "And we can try trusting the people who told us to leave in the first place if we need a place to store things once we go to the police. They were right about this being a bad idea." Strangers weren't the best people to trust; what other choice did they have right now? All they had to do was make it a week without attracting attention. They could do that, right?

Kia's hand slid up into Louise's hair and he massaged his scalp lightly.
