"Curious..."
Banyan's examining the remnants of what used to be that robotics factory.
"The concrete foundation was reshaped without breaking it, as if it changed state temporarily... And the rubble has been melded together from so many different materials that it appears to not be of this world."

She is in her forties... But 'decades' still makes her sound even older than that!
One has to wonder who the other parent would be, though.
...And really, Banyan is probably older than some people here.

Blood related. It was a loooooong time ago before she had everything figured out.

"Well... Damn.... Can you keep the other Tapus for me at least? Lele and Koko are the two I want to see if I can. Well, one of them at least."
It is something she'd love to get at least.
"...Should I ask why did you get it, Professor?"

"Unfortunately my vacation was cut short that time, and I haven't had the chance to go back for the others."
...Banyan's the one who caught Tapu Fini?!
...What the hell is going on with her if that's a Pokemon she hasn't shown in battle yet? Between that and calling Aleister's Regigigas small...

"Those nurses are lucky Miss Celia didn't kill them for doing that in the first place."
She's going to have to find a way to domesticate Celia before anybody can recruit her, whether it's Banyan or somebody else.

She may as well lay in bed still.
"I barely even got a chance to try and look for Black Agurite... Turns out the nurses couldn't find anyone else to sign papers for and put her name in papers on me without permission."

She is in the hospital, reading up of Alolas guardians, laying in the bed still.

Oh. Banyan looks genuinely confused.
"If you were pragmatic, you would be considering more practical and realistic options than trying to brute force this. Weapons, traps, tricks. That would be more pragmatic than continuing to put everything on your Pokemon."
