—matters with his assistant... and not the person who is actually in charge (Jacq).
——————————————
ദ്ദി(˶‾᷅ᗜ‾᷅˵ ᵕ) Was this fun to read? I kind of just typed whatever came to mind, obviously I'll change it up (maybe) to make it a bit more coherent, but overall this gets across what I imagine well enough❕

—whatever Cat's researching is also in the League's best interests...

(ᵕ—ᴗ—) Their relationship doesn't start off that strong, but eventually... Cat has to scurry away from one of Professor Jacq's discussions before a certain green-haired individual pops up, insisting on discussing important—

—research assistant for Uva Academy really is...

And, oh, of course Cat would freak out... Who wouldn't? One of the region's Elite Four members, on top of that... an *attractive woman*, is constantly trying to get to know her whenever they decide to stop by the Academy, since apparently—

—on her scent... so to speak. ( 〃．．) Since Rika's so battle savvy (and since she's just a fiend for challenging others; have you seen her expression when she battles?), she probably noticed how Cat carried herself, and that's what created the spark in Rika's interest on figuring out who this new—

at all. She would have been an older challenger as well; "she had more time to beat the Champion Iris (?), I suppose..."

Though, funnily enough... after keeping her guard down for a while once she's sure she'll no longer be recognized in Paldea (or anywhere else for that matter)—Rika would pick up—

—Apparently she already left for a different region called Paldea—she said something about research..."

By the time Cat is in Paldea, her feat in the Unovan League probably wouldn't be that well known, since she never did much else after winning against the Champion. No exciting presence, nothing—

—beating the Champion, it was just the next task on my list," and then once a few years go by after claiming such an important victory... she would suddenly vanish from the region.

"Oh, you're talking about one of the strongest trainers in Unova? Uh, what was her name...? Cat?—

—in the future, Cat definitely doesn't stick around for that long. "I" really wouldn't be the type of person to enjoy having a title plastered on "me," no matter how amazing it is, so I think it's funny imagining how she'd graciously accept the win, only to then say "I don't mind much for—

—would have also been a Champion, so to speak. I'd like to imagine that (an older?) Iris would remain the Champion by the time Cat's doing her own journey (that's why she has a Serperior; that's her starter from her younger days), and she'd successfully challenge Iris. Knowing what happens—

nothing*...❕:‹ why must my fingers slip while typing, and why do I never catch my mistyping, ever...❕ Graaaaaaaah❕❕❕

Obviously, if they ever decide to release a Mexico inspired region, I'd probably swap over to that for "my" home region, but for now I've decided Unova is the best fit. I know this was a lot, but I wanted to share the beginnings of "me." For now, enjoy this semi-finalized version of "my" team!
