It would be a lot of travel, but not a lot of work from Louise other than figuring out strategies and the best sort of team to use overall. Kia knew that different Pokémon were good against some types and not so good against others. He'd help Louise keep track of that and work out what they needed to as they went, if that ended up being the best option for the two of them.

Relaxing didn't seem like an easy option until they left safely, but a little moment of it here and there would make the tension easier than staying completely uptight and paranoid the entire time. They didn't trust anyone else more than they trusted each other; nobody else got these little moments of care.

"Mamoru seems like the type to be pissed about being lied to," he pointed out. "At least Merlin doesn't come across as nearly that uptight and in need of a good fuck." Hiding money at the Breeding Centre would only work if the animals or other employees didn't get into it somehow. "Maybe the guys in charge at the Centre would be willing to play bank for a few weeks. But where are you going to have the race?"

If they didn't think of everything, something would go wrong.
