Log:
Despite the warnings other people in Johto gave them about Team Rocket, neither of them had seen any reason to leave the group. They were used to doing things that weren't approved of, after all, and being part of a group gave benefits that being on their own wouldn't quite cover.

Even helping with things on the Magnet Train didn't bother them. Nobody'd died and they both got to do things they enjoyed, so why would they leave after something like that? Kia was rash enough to not care about showing his uniform off afterwards both because he wasn't afraid of jail and because he was used to home, where Louise had enough authority to take care of any trouble that might come up.

This message, though, from someone Kia'd spoken to the other day, rubbed him in all the wrong ways. Given the things their world had learned in their early years and was still learning about the last war, trying to get the best genetic material possible felt wrong in a way different from the lines he felt comfortable crossing.

But Kia wouldn't make any decision on what to do without talking to Louise. They were partners no matter what they did or where they were.

Louise not wearing gloves was nice and strange all at once. Kia leaned into it and let his eyes fall half-shut for a moment. He wouldn't rather have anyone else with him for this clusterfuck. Nobody else could work with him as well. Quite frankly, he enjoyed it that way.

They'd both saved each other from different things at home. This was continuing that no matter where or when they ended up.

"Me too. A guy I talked to a few days ago said it's not hard to be comfortable here. Now I believe him."

Comfortable in a place that could be so troublesome. Who would have ever imagined something like that? Certainly not Louise who was so used to having everything handed to him on a silver platter. Working was troublesome at best. Mainly because he wasn't used to having to work to get the things he wanted. They were always just handed to him.

He really needed to find a way to make sure he had enough money to always have what he wanted here. It really would help in case Kia got into trouble as well.

"Just someone you talked to?" That was a way of finding out if he needed to be jealous or not.

"Something about being able to fight the people on the roads more than once and get money from them over and over again," he continued so Louise would know exactly what to do for maximum profit and minimum effort.

Once he made sense of that, they could do well money-wise.

Louise's question got him to frown again, but for a completely different reason than before. "Cute, but taken and pretty stubborn about that part." Being jealous would probably happen anyway, but Kia didn't think he'd have luck with Ken.

Fight people more than once to get money. Well that was something he liked. They could really benefit from that. Of course it would mean gather some more Pokemon since he really only had two Fire Types but that wouldn't be difficult.

For now, he was more interested in learning about Mister Cute but Stubborn and Taken. "I wasn't aware that little details like that would derail you so easily. Did he shoot you down properly?"

Gathering some of the Grass types wouldn't be hard with his Fire animals in tow. Kia might try to get more too, since his were similar as well.

"This isn't home. If I push someone too hard, they can tell everyone on the Gear and neither of us will be able to have much fun again."

He would have to find out which ones were pretty enough for his standards. Though he wanted them to be strong, Louise refused to settle for anything that wasn't appealing in a visual manner as well.

"It's good to hear that you're being careful." Since Kia could be one of the least cautious people around, that was always comforting. Especially since it meant that this person wasn't a threat.

Kia would try to find pretty ones, but sometimes the most useful things weren't the most attractive. It would be interesting to see what each of them ended up with.

"I can be once in a while." There'd be another time to be reckless. Ruining a possible friendship with another soccer fan wasn't worth it. "I'll go see what I can get for camping and talk to you later."

On that note, he leaned over to give Louise a short kiss.

"We can set out tomorrow or the next day. That will ensure we are far enough away to avoid this."

Leaning towards the kiss, he met Kia halfway to return the gesture before taking up his cup of tea again. He had his own preparations to make but those wouldn't be difficult to manage. He could take care of them rather quickly.

"We can eat when you get back."
