Woooohoooo! Check this out guys!

[Minato shoves a shiny and ultra-new Zephyr Badge into the camera, triumphantly belting out the Gym Badge GET! jingle.]

Dun dun duuunnn dun-dun dun dun duuunnn DUN DAAAAAAH! I got my first badge! [Minato withdraws the badge case and pockets it with a grin. An Absol and a Duskull are minding their own businesses in the background.]

And it's all thanks to the super powerful Mina-kun! Right, Mina-kun? High-five!

[Minato holds out her hand for that high-five, but the Absol decides to use SCRATCH on it. An awkward silence ensues as she maintains her smile, though the corner of her lips twitches as if trying to suppress a wince of pain. She'll just... withdraw her hand... Ow...]

Ahahahaha! Looks like he really is only staying for the battles! Anyway, this Badge allows me to use Fly out of battle, right? I don't have a Pokemon with that move yet, but I wonder why you need a badge or HM? I mean... don't they fly already? Or maybe I'll get arrested by the Air Police if I try to cut corners? [She puts a hand on her chin thoughtfully.] It's such a mystery...

[ well that sure looked like it hurt. ]

Are you okay?

[Minato laughs.]

Haha, I'm fine! [Even if there is a fine gash on her palm.] I've had worse than this, and Mina-kun does it a lot. I wish he could like me a bit more, though.

[ well if you're sure ]

Congratulations on your badge! To both yourself and your pokebeast!

Thanks! I'll admit that I feel kinda bad for the Gym Leader, though. I used a very OP Pokemon I got from a friend, after all.

[She tilts her head to the side and her gaze travels upward, as if deep in thought.]

I mean... is that even legal?

...OP? [ she's not familiar with the term, and there's obvious confusion, although Aradia still seems pretty happy about it. ]

Ah, I don't think you'd have gotten a badge if it weren't?

Well, I guess you're right then! Wouldn't make much sense if they let me have a badge and it was illegal.

[Nod nod. She comprehends.]

Anyway, you don't know what OP means? It stands for "overpowered", in this context.

Oh, I see!! Well, you were still the one to direct your pokemon in battle, no?

Hmm... Well, Mina-kun surprisingly listens to me in these kind of situations, so I guess I did direct them!

Then it was definitely your victory and his! ...Hers?
