Nosk, I've got a few questions for you
1. Now that your trainer is...gone, where exactly do you live?
2. How have you been able to keep contact with most of the members of your team?
3. You mentioned that you "lend" your pokeball to whatever patient you're offering services too at the time. Does that mean you're basically independent and can only be controlled when you let yourself be? what failsafes are in place if a patient tries to steal you?
Nosk: Well I'll try my best to answer these.
1. I don't really have a set living space. When I'm not with a client or patient I'm free to travel where I wish, and use the amenities accessible to all service pokemon.
2. We have a meeting spot at our trainer's mother's house. She told us we were always welcome to come stay, but only Basil has truly taken her up on that offer. Herrah is the only one to have never come visit.
3. In essence, yes. Not many people seem to know that a pokemon can really exit and enter it's own pokeball at any moment if they know how, even after they've been 'captured'. (Just look at the anime and several moments from the games.) I already knew how to do so thanks to my late trainer and former teammates, but all service pokemon are taught how to break out of their own ball in case of emergency, such as our patient being in danger, or if they're trying to steal one of us.
The Master Ball might be an exception, as it can catch any pokemon without fail, but I have no personal experience with that one.
If a patient tries to steal me away, I can simply exit my pokeball and restrain them.
I hope that was helpful!
