"I'm sure in time he'll see what an awesome guy I am," Andy said, knowing very well people generally still didn't like him after getting to know him better. But then again, he wasn't here to be liked by everyone. Honestly, that would be boring. "Merlin still doesn't like me either," he told her. "I don't know how he puts up with me."

Mindy had an excited grin on her face and nodded, this would be so awesome. And she would do this with friends, and her former professor. 
"Do you still teach ethics?" she asked.
"Of course. I still need professor Maple to approve of my new hands-on teaching method that I want to implement. There's nothing like exploring the train-dilemma by tying up students to a track and let one of them drive a train, am I right?"
"You're joking, right?"
"Of course I am! I'd drive the train myself, why would I let a student have all the fun?"
Mindy groaned, feeling sorry for professor Maple, and Michael laughed. 

"He is joking," Michael said, in case some of the legendary Pokémon or their companions thought otherwise. 
It was nice walking like this. They had left the city behind and had entered the forest. He didn't mind how long the walk would be, it was a nice day and he was in good company. He glanced to Niccia. Very good company.
