I didn't hear the dialogue between Palila and Roark. We had already started to leave, and I didn't notice Palila had stayed back. My attention was piqued however, by Matthias, making snide comments about me. I turned around and made my way over to Matthias, as Roark spoke up. Off to the side, Kinnie seemed to be comforting a distressed Palila.

"I'm a Gym Leader, not a government administrator." Roark explained, "It's like asking a civil engineer to fix your car. There is nothing I can do to get your friend a trainer card. That is down to the Pokemon Center on behalf of regional government."

So that was it. Palila didn't have a trainer card, and with that, didn't have the benefits of being a registered trainer such as the free accommodation at Pokemon Centers.

"Okay, let me make something incredibly clear to you. I won't turn down someone who needs help. You should know that, seeing as the only reason you weren't beaten to a pulp for taking what doesn't belong to you, is because I intervened. S**t, I even gave you my own coat afterwards. So don't start acting all high and mighty, thief. I don't recall you giving enough of a s**t to call the professor, which you are just as capable of doing." I explained, making sure to get into his personal space, "Regardless of what has happened between her and myself, or myself and any of you, yourself included, I won't turn my back on my team. Palila left as soon as her card was rejected, and I didn't see her again that night."

I looked over Palila who was with Kinnie before speaking up.

"I meant every word I said. Regardless of what has happened, and what might happen, if you want my help, I'm here." I said, softening my tone slightly, but still making sure to sound serious, "You're more than welcome to bunk with me until we can sort this out, if that's what you want."

"As for you." I explained to Matthias, "Next time you have beef with me, bring it up with me. None of this backhanded bulls***. Are we clear?"
