"Oh, of course," she answers brightly. "They're wonderful, aren't they? They're so intelligent, and some of them are quite powerful, but many of them choose to form lifelong friendships with humans." For someone who loves animals, it's a dream come true. "I only wish that I had the time to make a career out of it, but I learn about them when I can."
She falls silent again during the exchange between the professor and Josh, but her expression likely gives away some of her thoughts. Namely, her surprise over her friend's method of catching the deino. She hadn't been there to witness it, but she assumed he had been more thoughtful in his decision. It makes the fact that he caught the pokémon all the more unexpected.
Sensing the professor's skepticism, she steps a little closer to Josh in support of his words. "We have seen some very bad examples," she replies, thinking of Bucky's injuries. "And you need to understand, from an outsider's perspective, watching pokémon fight one another can seem unnecessary and cruel. Where we're from, when humans have animals fight one another, it's purely for their own amusement, and the animals can be seriously injured or even killed."
She looks to Josh for confirmation, to see if he's thinking something along those lines. "I know that it's different in the world where pokémon come from, but it still unnerves me a little. It's why I'd rather study them than train them to fight."
