It might be, for some of them... Especially if they're fond of us. [Mami glances towards her Swablu, now perched preening on a bedpost, before moving for their kitchen set, before offering Madoka a reassuring look.] But in other cases, it might be kinder to use the system.

I've taught Sara to fight, and I'm training her so that she'll be safe if she has to fight in the future, or if she's the only type who could defend us.

[Moves like Sleep Powder were very helpful, after all, and she gives the quietly "til"ing grass-type a smile as she sets some tea to boil. It'd help warm her up, and perhaps smooth the conversation.]

But, Sara doesn't like to fight very much, so once I have more Pokémon, I won't have to rely on her as much. And if I'm going into a battle where I'll need a full team, having the PC option is good. I can leave her behind and use Pokémon who like battles.

If we keep our whole team with us, at all times, they'll have to face everything we do.
