[attr="class","spiral"]“ Oh, it’s not the people with powers that’s an issue.” A chuckle forms but dies within the pit of his throat. It’s a slow sign of resignation but one that seeps from the frustration that comes from having to deal with less than competent people. “ It’s the ones that can’t read that make things difficult. There’s a surprising amount of them, ha ha… But I digress—” He withdraws at Razz’s reasons. Maintains eye contact until the ranger is well and done. Fernando even pauses, as if in contemplative thought, before coming up with one of his own. When he does, there’s a pleased smile on his face, reinforced by the way his hands sit in his lap. “ And that’s why I want you, Kingsman. A talented trainer with no need for glory or riches. Someone who pursues the right cause for the right reasons, everything else that comes with it will come in due time.” He leans back into his chair, relaxed. “ We’re a lot alike. When things went south in Kanto I had two choices. I could flee to a region without conflict and live out my life without worry. Or, I could give up that freedom, give up a life of comfort, to do the right thing, to aid Hoenn in the troubles that were to come. Naturally, we both know what I picked, but I did so because I felt I owed it myself. Regret from not being able to do more in Kanto, if you will.” It’s a bit of history that Fernando doesn’t often divulge but he places it on the table as a show of good faith. With an exposed piece of him out in the open, he has no choice but to straighten his back, proper posture for a proper closing. “ Despite our success here, I don’t believe in following profit. Do good work, be successful at what you do, and the money will come naturally. It’s a bit simplistic but it’s never failed me yet. People like you are few and far between, and they deserved to be taken care of.” Time for the finishing touches. “ We’ve streamlined the process here quite well. The resources we have at Silph Co. will allow you to have a bigger impact even though your responsibilities will remain the same. Jobs are sorted by region, efficiency, and impact. It’s the difference between leaving you to delivery an assortment of random packages and having a team plan your delivery path beforehand to make sure you cover the most amount of ground in the least amount of time.” And now for the cincher. “ And, as expansive as our resources are, that goes into protections that other places lack. Besides the obvious, such as health insurance and 401Ks we also offer assistance with financial advice, help with public relationships, an education fund, and making sure our employees can operate at their own behest. From what I surmise about you, for whatever reason, you like to humble yourself and keep a low profile.” He clicks his tongue. “ People with your skill level are rare within the League. With time, your efforts will be appreciated, no matter how oblivious upper management is. When that happens you’ll be waved around as an idol, someone to aspire to be. Sénon Game was recently promoted in recognition for his efforts and I have no doubt you’ll be in the pipeline eventually.” “ You can always refuse, I know, but that doesn’t mean your name won’t spread. kyle lopez wanted a stay hidden despite his efforts but when it was time to oust Team Rocket, he did the right thing. He was instrumental to defeating SILAS BLACKWELL, jeopardizing his way of life to help save the region. Now, he’s our Champion.” So where does that put Silph Co.? “ We can also put you on such a pedestal, if you desire. However, we can also do the opposite. If you wish for your achievements to be downplayed that can be managed too. It’s one thing if a random Ranger shows promise, there’s no excuse behind it aside from their natural talent. But here? Everyone will simply overlook you. ‘Of course he managed to to that, he’s working for Silph Co.’ You’ll remain nothing more than a peon in the eyes of the public, something you seem quite adamant on being.” [newclass=.spiral]text-align: justify;font-family:calibri;font-size:14px; margin: 0 auto; width: 300px;[/newclass] [newclass=.spiral b]color: #90c1f9[/newclass]
