Interview 20. Daz the Dragonite.
After greeting the Dragonite I inquire about Dassy the Goodra, and that she seems to be growing increasingly concerned for his welfare. Then, noticing Daz's history books, I mention that Adis seemed to enjoy history as well and ask about their relationship.

You find Daz the Dragonite, tending to some of the berries that he has been growing in his old greenhouse. He turns to you, smiles for but a brief moment, and you introduce yourself to him.

"Hello there, Gemma," he nods. "Something I could help you with?"

You inquire about Dassy the Goodra, as well as Daz's passion for history and the relationship he and Dassy used to have. He closes his eyes for a moment, nods, and understands you've taken it upon yourself to be the mediator between the two of them.

"Dassy... is a kind and compassionate Pokémon," Daz tells you. "Maybe too kind. Maybe to the point of being naive and inane in this twisted world of ours. And sometimes it's a take what you can when you can kind of world. I'm sure you know the age old expression 'nice Pokémon finish last?' Well... she's the living embodiment of that. Her business fails because she wants to be nice friends with Joff the Infernape, who has absolutely no qualms or guilt about outperforming her and stealing her customers. And it only got worse when Joff's family was killed. I was actually surprised Dassy hadn't simply packed up shop, gave it all to Joff as a consolation gift, and decided to work for Joff as an employee for free. However, knowing Joff, I doubt he would have any of that. The last thing he would want is to see Dassy's idea of 'one free hammer and nails toolkit just for stopping by' promotion done with his merchandise."

"One of these days, Dassy is going to get hurt," Daz tells you in a cold voice, crossing his arms. "Someone is going to take advantage of her, break her heart, and leave her in pieces. And I'd rather not be there when it happens. I'd rather not be the one she comes running after in tears as if I'm her father trying to console his baby girl. I'm not that kind of Pokémon, because I know the things I'd tell her are things she'd never do. I told her to be cutthroat and competitive and she didn't listen. I told her to stand her ground and not be such a pushover and she thought she could 'kill them with kindness.' Not in this lifetime. And that's how she got to where she is now. Compassion and kindness is fine, but not at the expense of self-worth."

"Listen, I broke ties with Dassy for a good reason," Daz tells you in conclusion. "I'm old, she's young, and she's got a lot to learn that I don't feel like teaching to her."

"As for Adis, there are plenty of Pokémon that thought he was a kook, self included," Daz mentions to you. "He was a Pokémon of many secrets. Far too many secrets. Made it impossible to trust the shifty bastard. He never came across as a vile Pokémon, but I'd be damned if I didn't watch him closely while he was around. The wicked and vile have their black magic and witchcraft, but the same is true for the other side of the spectrum and I knew he was there with his divine rituals and other hocus pocus. I don't want dealings with any of it."

"It was nice to meet you, Gemma," Daz tells you, looking like he needs to get back to work. "There are some harsh truths out there, but this is just the way things are."
