Unfortunate Circumstances
POSTED ON May 5, 2023 4:39:51 GMT
Learning how to cook would be pretty beneficial all around. Soyeon thought about the offer, handing the rest of her sandwich to the Bulbasaur as he would happily show his pleasure for the snack. "I may have to take you up on that offer if this is just your skills at sandwiches. Know any other dishes?" She teased while he would go on about his record for mucking around with Rocket. Soyeon did have to admit, it was a pretty risky move for his age, but as long as he wasn't destroying her hard work or anything, she would be fine. The conversation wasn't going anywhere, and for as much as Aaron could brag, it wasn't changing the fact that what he was doing was dangerous. She mentally groaned, crossing her arms while the woman pinched the bridge of her nose, perhaps a little trick she picked up would help.
"I see." she said as Aaron talked about something else. He seemed a little disappointed in the fact his file was so barren, but she had a good idea that it would grow if he kept trying to play with fire. "So you want to become a gym leader, but got denied because you were too young? Is that right?" Soyeon asked. "I'm sorry that you were rejected. Maybe there's something that you can show the League or whoever that you're more than capable of the position? I could even lend some assistance should you need any." In reality, Soyeon knew full well why they wouldn't just hand over a gym to any teenager without a damn good reason. It was not only a huge commitment that few adults could even handle, but teenagers should be out enjoying life rather than going on vendetta filled trips against something. He definitely seemed the type to really be somebody worth testing others prowess on the field, but maturity wise? So far, he was a bit bratty but not too overbearing. Soyeon couldn't help but grow a bit envious of not having siblings like that to really be annoyed by.
Of course, she wasn't going to tell him that. He'd eventually calm down and figure out things on his own.
Things went back into how she came to work at Rocket as Soyeon sighed, looking out to the sea. The same story once more, from the top. "When I was a child, I dreamed of becoming a Pokemon Professor. Somebody that was a walking encyclopedia of knowledge. I studied, read books well out of my age range, placed in honors level classes, I wanted it more than anything. But when I got a telescope as a gift from a friend, I wanted to touch space one day. Be where no other humans have ever gone." Soyeon smiled a little as her Metagross had been busy fighting with Krabbys over taking up too much space in the sand, while Proto remained busy resting on top of the umbrella. The Porygon2 darted around the beach as it had found a stray beach ball to play with.
"But my parents had worked long hours just to keep a roof over our heads. So when it came time for life after high school, it seemed like the end of the line for me. I would be stuck at a dead end job while my classmates went to university and lived the dream. Then, one day, a man claiming to be from the school approached me with an offer I could refuse. I could attend school and pay it off. They even would help me with projects and things. So I went and studied in the Sciences. I wanted to become a Professor, but the man had forced me to go into astronomy. I graduated four years later and then woke up to find a group of Rockets crashing down my front door. The man I had signed a deal with was a member of Rocket, and he had recruited me solely to staff the Uriel Program. When I refused, he threatened my family. He said they would suffer if I didn't follow through. And so, I went with him. I didn't really have any choice. My parents don't know, and I'm too afraid to face them. I would rather die than let them know their daughter is a Rocket member, even if under duress."
