"Gods, don't I know it," And she does. How many times had she seen the adults of Pallet rouse to fight off something. Wild monster, rouge trainer... or worse yet a trainer who'd lost control of their pokemon. Too many and it's the with her joining the efforts.. the search parties...

She swallows and it's shoved down and down until there's not but understanding and sympathy. "Trust me on this: make one if you want, but I've been here ten months -since the beginning- and we tend to come down hard on those who spoil the train party at least."
