Private to Lillie
I was actually thinking about contacting you. In the short time we've been back in Tumbleweed and with internet connection, I've been doing some research on my own. And I've come across a Pokemon anime based in Alola, Sun and Moon.. I was very moved by the way the trainers in the program were so loving to their Pokemon, and how most had respect for them, along with their natural surroundings. I got the idea this was the attitude while in ALola, but I didn't realize how deep it was until watching this anime, and I'm sorry I wasn't more respectful while I was there.
It seems to me that a trainer becomes more connected to their Pokemon the more often they train and battle them, am I correct in this assumption? These battles are not so much violent exchanges, but competitive fun, which Pokemon seem to enjoy.
If you are willing and able, I'll be happy to pay you to teach me how to train my Pokemon.
