Likewise, she is curious to hear about the professor's research. "I hadn't given much thought to that," she admits, "But it must have an impact on them. I can see why you'd need help, that's an enormous undertaking."
That subject will have to wait, though. Josh, it turns out, does not see things quite the way she does, and Professor Madrone seems to hone in on this difference with surprising accuracy. She shifts in place nervously when asked her opinion, not wanting to spark further disagreement. Her whole purpose of meeting up with Josh was to smooth over hurt feelings, not get dragged into pokémon discourse.
"If it were my pokémon," she begins diplomatically, "I'd return it to the wild, or if that isn't possible, find someone responsible to care for it. I don't live in the Nexus, so I wouldn't be able to give it the attention it deserved. I mean... caring for my friend's pokémon wasn't easy, and they were already tame and I had help. It's a big responsibility."
She bites her lip and glances Josh's way again, hoping he's not annoyed by her honesty.
