"...!!!!!" She was stunned. SHOCKED, even. But not by electricity. By surprise! Which was actually really surprising! It was typically pretty hard to surprise her. Normally, she was the one surprising others with her over the top shenanigans and antics and livestream jumpscares, but WOAH, her old teacher actually had her beat here for a second. She seriously couldn't believe this.

"WHOSAWHATSIT?!?!?! You mean they just let NORMIE TEACHERS COACH HERE TOO????!??!!!?!?!?" She finally blurt out after doing nothing but gawking at him for a good while. "Booooo!!! That is totes disappointing." An over dramatic sigh. "Lemme tell ya somethin', teach-" yeah, she didn't remember his name. She hadn't really stuck around long enough to find out the first time and there was no promising she was going to remember it this time, either.

"So I totes thought this was gonna be like, some HELLA good publicity, y'know? Thought this would really send those numbers skyrocketing! To the moon, or whatev those crypto bros say about their stupid ethereum tokens. But if there are legit teachers doin' this too??? Does that mean they actually expect me to TEACH???" She thought she'd just be able to stream some battles and collab with a few new trainers, but maybe this special coach thing wasn't exactly what she thought it'd be.

✿ @ionozoned asked: ✿ ✿ "ACK!!!" She immediately hid her face in her hands, as if that would somehow stop her from being recognized despite her purposefully standout style. She was totally on board with this whole coach thing, but why did he have to be invited at the same time??? Why did any teacher from the school she'd dropped out of have to be here the same time as her? Oh God this was so awkward. "LISTEN BOZO, YOU CAN'T MAKE ME FINISH HOME EC! I know I failed like EVERY test when I was in your class but that's like SUCH old news! We're on new turf now, kay? Student Iono, who??? I dunno her!" Wait, did he even remember her? Uh oh, she might have outed herself for literally no reason. ✿

Saguaro was quite taken aback by the sudden outburst, raising his hand to his mouth as he tried to puzzle out the scenario. He... did remember this student, even though he hadn't been at the school for very long. That was because... She quit his starting year. The very first year he had been teaching, she had dipped. That had hit him pretty hard at the time, and even now he wondered if he had done something wrong that had managed to run her off. Surely it could not have been only him, but...

But what was this reaction...? Did he really run her off? Was she scarred for the rest of her life because he had been too much when she came into his class? Why else would she be so... So intense?

"If... If you're really worried about me making you 'finish the class', then I am pleased to inform you that I am a special coach here, for-- for the students of Blueberry Academy. I'm not--"

"I'm not here for you."

He couldn't say that. That would make everything worse. That sounded so bad.

"I'm not going to try to make you continue the class. Just... Take care of your pokemon, please."
