[i]'I think i'll just take a seat while everyone praises Leon to the skies. I'm hungry anyway, should have started eating before all this happened.'[/i] Rasca tended to be a bit more cranky when she didn't have anything in her stomach. She scowled unhappily at Yellow, wondering if the woman could have spelled it out any more nicely. The hermit obviously thought Leon could do things by herself, so why did she have to tag along anyways? Rasca didn't stop grumbling until the lady chose to mention that both of them could match the four of them together. 

[i]'Old lady wisdom, just to make us more confident. It doesn't have to be true.'[/i] She took it all very harshly, and only for the fact that she had been ignored. It didn't matter what Yellow thought of her, Rasca would still be number two in her mind. Some leader. Looks like Leon was the one way she would get anywhere in this world. 

But Rasca wasn't the alone in being ignored. How would Bulbasaur feel about being number two? Never quite matching up to the admiration she gave Superior, wouldn't it feel inadequate as well? It didn't sit right with her, that one pokemon could get more attention than the other, just because of seniority. Perhaps it was even the other way around. The newcomer would have to get used to both Leon and her, so wouldn't that mean...?

Shaking her head stiffly, she sat down to eat with everyone else. Wondering how to treat the two pokemon, while not giving one more than the other deserved. It was all so difficult to understand. If only she could talk to pokemon, or understand them. But then; Rasca paused in eating her meal, looking at Leon with more respect than she usually garnered. That's why they had become a team in the first place. Even though Leon was more than qualified to go by himself, he had specifically asked her to come along. To protect him, and to have fun. What kind of person did that, if they didn't expect the other person was more than useful to helping out? She chuckled as understanding dawned on her, going back to scarfing down food.
