[It's just embarrassing, because Ochako really and truly is so new and inexperienced she just...doesn't want to be laughed at, really. Her first few battles against wild Pokemon alone weren't exactly easy, and it's kind of frowned upon to fight these wild animals yourself, e-even if she probably could (though the emotional toll of punching a cute animal would be Rough™).

Though the mention of a school immediately piques her interest, and there's but a teensy gasp and a look of sheer delight and relief on her face along with a heavy sigh. Thank goodness...somewhere she can actually get some real tutelage...and experience before making a right fool of herself in a professional setting.]

That's wonderful!! I'll be sure to go there for a few lessons when I arrive! I want to get stronger to catch up to my friends who came here before me, so...I think it's a good idea to take on these Gyms, but getting to know how to really fight would be great. I, um...I actually really miss being in school, too, as weird as that may sound, ehehe. So it'll feel kind of nostalgic, maybe.

I really can't thank you enough, Dimitri-san, and your friends as well!! Dean-chan, Gremlin-chan, you all are the best!
