Trak remained quiet, watching the conversation.  Runaway had since finished his bagel and was looking through Trak's bag.  Finally speaking up, Trak nodded to Runaway. "Okay, I'm gonna take Runaway out for a walk and then do his exercises..." She hoisted her bag over her shoulder and began to gather her trash.

Nintendo understands how important our Pokemon are to us, and the Bank was developed after market research into what people wanted for Pokemon storage.  Fees would go into general maintenance of the server and protection of your Pokemon.  You're paying a really paltry amount for secure storage for up to 3,000 Pokemon.  Honestly, I think five bucks a year is just fine a price.

It's cheaper than what I pay per year for my Barnes & Noble membership.  Guess how much per year that is?  $25.  I pay that without bitching.  If you have a bookstore membership that you pay for, then don't [sonic slicer] about the Bank fee.

Christ, it's cheap as hell for secure Pokemon storage.

Well, no use in putting it off any longer.  I need sleep so I can deal with the arrival of my mother.

*Pets and rubs Zygarde*  Aww, who's a good Eldritch Abomination!  Yes you are!  How about a little rubby on the ol' tum-tum?

Trak again glanced at Runaway. "This is getting ugly really fast.  Could you do me a favor?  Could you confirm whether or not that guy's ID is real?"

Runaway gave a nod. "Oui." He stared hard at Sapph for a moment, then blinked, took another bite of his bagel, and finally responded to Trak after he had swallowed his mouthful. "C'est faux."

"Thanks," Trak gave him a shoulder squeeze, then cleared her throat. "Um... not to intrude or anything, but my Alakazam suspects that your ID may be counterfeit..."

You can catch Wailmer.  So, catch one, evolve it, and go to town.

Playing with Zardoz in Amie.  I love how the big bad Legendaries get all cuddly in Amie... except for Mewtwo, who maintains his stoic demeanor even when munching on glorious chocolate cupcakes and getting belly rubs.  My Zygarde, though...  Rub him in the right spot and he just exudes love and cuddles.

I know its a very cheap price per year, but still doesn't help for those who are unemployed, or for the little 5-6 year old kids who play this game, that need parent controls. The money is going to go somewhere, and I doubt kids have the money to spend on keeping their pokemon online, rather asking for their parents. Ya know cause their parents are already having to spend on their education, etc. I'm sure there are some parents that could help pay for the yearly fee, and there are some that just won't want to pay a little extra. There are parents that are like that.

Again, just sayin.....

Most young kids have an allowance.  I know my niece and nephews could very easily afford it.  Five bucks isn't much for anyone.

The blue winter coat, though?  Not so much.  I like it, though, it's classy.

"J'aime le bleu," Runaway commented between bites of his cream cheese-laden bagel. I like blue.

Runaway had since returned with his bagel and was eating it.  Trak glanced at him, then Sakura, then Sapph, then back again.  For a moment, she considered asking Runaway to reveal Sapph's identity.

Here, allow me to help put it into perspective for you.

This is what I pay MONTHLY:  Rent, utilities, cellphone, Internet.  They equal to roughly $300 a month.

$300 a month.

THREE HUNDRED DOLLARS

PER MONTH

We'll overlook that I am in a housing program and thus get cheap rent.  But, that's my monthly expense, not counting miscellaneous bills.  I pay that and more per month, every month.

Compare to $5 a year.

Really, a Lincoln per year is nothing.  I repeat: NOTHING

Trak followed Xuangzang's gaze to Sapph's Pokemon. "Oh goodness, I would never give Runaway coffee.  He'd go crazy.  Soda gets him hyper enough."

Gotta love these creative names.

Indeed.

And the approval process is broken on my end.  Hence why I haven't been doing it lately.  It broke when I updated iOS.

"Hm," Trak nodded again, but didn't press the issue.  She noticed Sakura's hesitation around Runaway, as the Alakazam must be triggering some bad experience, perhaps with another Alakazam.

Runaway put his toy in Trak's bag, then wandered off to get a bagel and cream cheese.

Trak took the opportunity to reorganize her bag. "After he's done eating, I'll take him for a walk, then we'll do his exercises."

"I see," Trak nodded slowly, then gave the Foongus a few squeaks.  Runaway immediately came over, took the toy, and hugged it.  Trak put her arm around his shoulders and gave him a hug. "In Kalos, we've seen some questionable things during our travels, but this sounds a bit more... personal."

"Quel est le problème?" Runaway wasn't about to let the matter be.

"He asks what's wrong," Trak translated. "Though, if it's too personal, you don't have to talk about it." She took the Foongus toy out of her bag, ready to give it a few squeaks to get the Alakazam's attention.  "He can get a bit nosy sometimes.  Particularly in stores.  Where he has a habit of following me into either the bathroom or fitting room.  Gets awkward."

Runaway pulled out his Foongus toy and hugged it.  He glanced up, noting Sakura's expression, then put his toy back in the bag, climbed off his seat, made his way to Sakura, and opened his arms for a hug. "C'est bien. Comment êtes-vous?" It's okay.  How are you?

Trak nodded to him. "He wants to know how you are, and that everything will be okay."

Trak nodded. "Yeah.  He ran away from me the first time, until I used a Quick Ball on him.  Hence his name." She rubbed Runaway's head again. "But, he's a real sweetie."

"Sycamore helped us figure out an exercise plan," Trak nodded.  "We started small and easy, then gradually worked our way up.  Starting immediately after he evolved helped, as he wasn't able to fall into bad habits.  The problem is more noticeable with wild-caught Alakazams, and some trades where trainers weren't aware of how their muscles atrophy."

Runaway finished his cereal and set the bowl down.  He then started digging through Trak's bag for toys.
