[Hey, Rin ain't hip with the times. Pokemon are just exotic pets, right? So Ditty is just being sociable there. For not having arms or legs, it's surprisingly dexterous.]

I expected to find them locked in an office somewhere... In some ways, the vending machine is both more and less convenient.

[If the others are in there, they're in a more easily reachable place, but getting them out will be tricky, with no way to rig the machine.

And once they get them out, then what? Before, Rin had told Alex they might as well return Blue's pokemon to her parents, but now... She frowns, regarding the Ditto somewhat sadly.]
