"Routes of Hazzard" - Mio Mio practically inflated with rage during Jason's outburst. Well excuse him for caring! Excuse him for wanting to avoid pointless bloodshed! How dare he care about injured opponents! Scrapes and boo-boos? The one Meena attacked was lucky to even still be alive, and the one Apollo and Gomez had ganged up on was burned head to toe; neither of those injuries were at all comparable to a "scrape" or "boo-boo." Mio glared daggers at the guy; he'd thought Jason was cool! Reasonable! And here he was, ragging on everyone for caring. Filled with an uncharacteristically strong anger, Mio opened his mouth to give Jason a piece of his mind. He hadn't even heard Alecks's response; he was too wrapped up in himself to notice even the most obvious things, so the small crystal-esque ball that rolled into the clearing evaded his notice entirely. A sharp boom filled the air, shocking Mio out of his rage. Thick smoke filled the air, along with flashes of light and a cacophony of sounds, some only barely recognizable as Pokemon cries. Mio remembered a quick flash from one of his high-school classes; this was a smoke ball! These Patrat could use items? Mio squinted through the fog as best he could, catching sight of a behatted figure scampering away in a haze of dull light. "Meena!" he called, without stopping to think. Meena shot off after the figure immediately, her keen senses allowing her to navigate the fading smoke with little difficulty. Mio started off after her, but stopped to scoop up Loam and catch sight of the others. Jack and Alecks were the first ones he spotted, so he addressed them, hoping that either they'd pass on the message, on Jason and Brendan would hear. It wasn't such a large clearing, after all. "I'm gonna catch up with Meena before she does anything drastic. I think that thing with the hat was a Watchog, so it'd be better if we all went in together, but... I'm still gonna be running off ahead of you, sorry." Mio pulled his coat back on and zipped it up with Loam inside, her head poking out just over the collar. She looked on ahead, her head fin twitching and waving in an attempt to sense her partner. With an ease that may have been considered graceful, Mio slapped on his rollerblades and took off, his torso almost parallel to the ground in his rush. He really hoped he didn't run into any tall grass...

"Routes of Hazzard" - Mio Mio sighed in relief as the potion worked its magic on the downed Patrat, his guilt over Meena's brutal attack subsiding slightly as he saw that her victim would be okay. It took him a moment to process Brendan's response; by the time he had the sense to protest, the other trainer was already gently pushing his potion back into his hands. Mio sputtered, ears burning, but he couldn't bring himself to force the issue. Quietly, somewhat cowed by Brendan's kind insistence, he dropped the potion back into his BAG. Brendan's focus turned from Mio to Alecks and a second defeated Patrat. The other rodent had fainted; Mio recognized that uncomfortable stillness and another pang of guilt swept through him. Determined to do something, he pulled off his tough leather jacket and walked over to Alecks with a surprising amount of confidence. "I've got my skates, so I can bring this li'l guy back to the lab real quick. Meena and Loam can stay while I'm gone if Lara and Leonidas aren't up to it... although maybe Meena shouldn't stay, haha..." He grimaced, the image of Meena's bloody form crouching over the Patrat flashing through his mind. "I-in any case... I can at least wrap him up in my jacket to keep him warm and stuff. It'd be bad if he got sick or something while he's out like that." BAG- Potion (x2) Pokeball (x5) XTransceiver Rollerblades

At this rate, mio's going to have an embarrassing crush on literally everyone. What a dweeb...

tbh... this is probably never ever gonna happen in any kind of official pokemon game, but I'm a huuuuge sucker for in-depth character interaction. I want to be able to really get to know my rivals/companions! I wanna have conversations with them, I want to find out what makes them tick, I wanna be able to be a jerk to some people and sweet to others, I wanna intentionally piss someone off just to see what they'll say. I-it's not like I wanna dating system or anything!!! S-stupid... But seriously, even just an approval/disapproval type meter for companion or rival characters would be cool. although i do really, really want a dating system Besides that, customization needs to come back, and this time with a little less gender-gatedness. Where's my long-haired boys huh?? Where're my cool suits for girls?? Where are my fancy trench-coat dresses for guys? What about those cute shorts? Or the crop tops? Or really anything that was female-exclusive in x/y because holy hell the male pc got shafted in the clothing and hair department.
