...That's why you're running for a spot and not me.

[While were being honest over here.]

What do you mean you're not that much different than them?

[Isn't she a literal world of difference from them?]

[That's fair to say, considering his partners. And Weavile gets a glance too. She figures it might have something to do with that.]

There's nothing all that special about me. Back home, the only notable thing is that my family's part of this thing back home called the League of High Order Spirituals and has been for generations, and even then that's nothing too out of the ordinary compared to some people's situations.

[Though her not having powers where everyone else in her family does is kind of strange.]

I can only sit back and watch things happen, just like the natives. I mean, right now. I won't do that if I'm elected.

...You can do so much more than sit back and watch things happen. Not just with this election.

[Where did White get the idea that she was just ordinary?]

[You know.

There's been a running gag in her life where people here have told her something similar to that. Either she needs to start listening to it and putting a little more value on her life or keep battling against it because seriously??]

Next question, please.

Hey, I'm serious. I'm pretty normal too, remember? You could go out into the woods and befriend a few monsters and you'd be a trainer yourself.

[It's a little more work than he makes it sound like, but it's not supposed to be easy. The point is that it's something within her reach.]

You can do all kinds of amazing things. It's all about what you're willing to do, and how much work you want to put into it.

[Just like now, with the representatives.]

[Don't give her ideas, Silver. Black'll have words with you if she ends up bringing home a lonely gryphon that wants to stay with a flower.]

There's just some things people like me can't do, Silver. Not even here.

[It's just fact, and that's actually how she sounds when she says it, no wavering glances.]

You have your Pokémon that you can depend on to help you out when you're dealing with more dangerous tasks or when there's a bad time with the Arehtei. But this, the representative spot, is pretty much a free for all, something anyone can try their hand at without precedent. Get what I'm saying?

You can do anything you set your mind to. I'd say except maybe have cool magical powers, but we can even have those here. You don't have to be born with them.

[And just to get his point across, he's going to...

...Put a hand on her head, because that feels like the best course of action right now. He believes in you, buddy.]

That includes the representative spot, too. If that's what you'd like to do, then do it.

[White's definitely older than him.

But. She feels kind of like a kid. She shouldn't have to have someone younger than her tell her things like that, especially since she's the one that's always told Black the same thing. When White speaks again, there's a hint of a plea, and the air feels a little... weird. Stuffy, maybe.]

Anything else you want to ask?

[...The air feels strange, and White's expression, well...

What happened to her to make her think that she can't do all kinds of things?]

No. I'll vote for you.

[He'll let the topic slide, at least.]

Edited 2016-01-16 00:14 (UTC)

[It clears up instantly, as does her expression and tone.]

You will?! Oh, Silver, thanks a ton!

[And he's certainly getting a hug, but it's not quick like she'd usually give to anyone. It's a little longer, because she's got something on the edge of her tongue she wants to say--

before she pulls away again and acts like it's fine.]

Make sure you talk to Miss Milla and Ludger too, okay? Get them on board. Tell all your friends about me so any competition's shot down before it even rises up.
