[ Ash nodded as Bertolt explained his plan. His was far more simple. His Pokemon were either going to have the ability to help navigate the caverns, or are simply going to be strong. He wasn't search and rescue after all, his job was search and locate; at the very worse, search and contain if the legendaries began a fight. Bert had a full out plan which was great, but it solidifed Ash's thinking. If there were fires, he was going to need something that could combat the flames. ]
I'm gonna send you T-Pain. I know he's a little...well he's a fucking Slowpoke. But he likes you and he'll get the bigger picture. He can help tame any fires that spring up.
[He pauses, and Galliard nudges him just enough that he'd have fallen over if he didn't have a good grip on the ridges lining the Tyrantrum's snout. Galliard, no.]
I-I mean, are you sure you're not going to need him for anything?
I got a Gyarados to ride on and we're going into a water cave. I'm bringing Danny and Diarmuid, who can break through the rock and ice types that might be there, and An Tintreach is coming. One of the surfing Pikachus is coming with too. And besides, you need a water type if there's going to be fire.
[ Danny approaches and nods to Bert, smiling with a coyote-like cry. ] And here's Danny. He's been with me from the start...I think he's nearly level 100 too, so I'll be alright with him!
[Are his ears turning pink? They're totally turning pink, and Bertolt hunches his shoulders and ducks his head down a little to try and hide it. Why can't he take things like a normal person? Why does he always have to get flustered over the simplest gestures?
Why, gods?]
T-Thank you, I... I-I'll take care of him like he's one of my own.
[ Ash just smiled. He wasn't gonna tease Bert over getting flustered like this. Not right now anyway ]
No problem. You'd do the same for me if our situations were the other way round. Just promise you'll keep in touch, yeah? If something happens out there, let me know. And I'll keep you up on if we find anything on the islands.
