A Riolu sat in the waiting room worried and upset. Once again, he'd failed and his trainer got hurt because of it.

A young boy, about fourteen, walked by. He'd come in for a check up. He looked at the Riolu, and walked over. "Hey, buddy. What's wrong?"

He blinked. "That's horrible." He clearly wasn't trying to downsize the Riolu, but was expressing his concern for a fellow trainer.

"Even if he's all right, what good am I to him? This is like the 50th time I've failed him. And this time, it was serious. He always told me I'd be a hero, but I'm even afraid of water. How can someone who's such a failure be a hero?"

"I heard once of an Arcanine who rushed into a burning building when the flames were too much for the firefighters, not caring for her own safety. She found the 3 trapped people and, with no other ay to escape, jumped with them from 10 floors up. They were fine, but 2 of her legs were broken in the process." The Ninetales smiled. "What I'm saying is just keep your eye out for an opportunity."

"Trust me. There's a hero in you, and when the time comes, you'll act."
"Thanks. That makes me feel better."
