...”but I can tell you about my tribe and the chief.”
The leader of the Nemua Tribe i-is Chief Makai, and he’s really great! Everyone in the t-tribe loves him. He’s probably the smartest Pokemon I’ve ever m-met, he knows everyone’s name and t-tries to spend some time with everyone to learn about them, and he’s really, really strong. And he’s a hero! He even saved M-Mother’s life back when she was my age!”
“B-but along with the chief, he also has some of his family and other Primarina in the tribe to help him make decisions on stuff. Th-that’s kind of a new thing. It used to be that the chief m-made all the decisions, but a lot of really bad stuff happened a long time ago, and after the Fall, my ancestors decided to change that. Even Chief Makai n-never believed in giving one Pokemon that much power.”
“Aside f-from them, everyone else more or less has the same role d-depending on gender. The male Primarina are w-warriors that protect the Tribe, while the female Primarina help r-raise the Popplio and Brionne - you know, play with them, gather food, t-teach them how to catch fish and sing and all that. The males d-don’t really have anything to do with the Popplio and Brionne except during the festivals or wh-when one is in danger.” Leilani chuckles nervously. “That’s happened to Kai and m-me a few times, whenever he wanted to go on an adventure.”
“A-and as for how the chief is chosen, it’s passed down from Akua, the founder of the Nemuan Tribe. The chief cane be either male or female and is a-always the oldest child, because the oldest child is the one that gets most of Akua’s power to protect the tribe. But l-like I said, Chief Makai never believed that one Pokemon should possess that much power, so he only used it wh-when he absolutely needed to.”
“A-ah... no it’s fine. I don’t have a lover at home, rather, my sister.”
“I get along very well with my sister! I understand what you mean about annoying siblings, and of course, my sister and I do not always agree with each other, but everything I do is for her.”
Raja: Oh, this ol’ thing? Hah! I just carved it all up ‘cause I was bored! There’s not much to do down in the caves. Bone carving is just fun for me, yknow? I like your ribbon...
Whether you tell her or not, Ophelia's still not going to be happy about it. Don't you want her to face the truth and be on better terms with you rather than your parents? You're siblings, after all.
Ophy has been a Gengar for five years.
You saw how she acted when I refused to tell her. She said I didn’t trust her.
How do you think she’ll act once I let her know? After keeping it from her so long...
Given her mental stability, I don’t think that’s wise.
No... I’m just going to keep insisting she doesn’t learn.
“Not many outside ‘mon know this, but my dad’s a pretty big deal around here! He’s so strong, he’s taken down Gyarados SINGLE HANDEDLY. He’s got quite the reputation with the other Weavile around here, they respect him tons! He’s even thinking of taking control of a leaderless pack that lives a little farther away from here, but I’ve overheard him and mom talking and that pack is totally okay with him being their leader because he’s so strong!”
