(Quick)<br/><br/>Jake rolled his eyes at Jay again.  The idiot was acting like a complete know-it-all asshole.  Thinking he was right about everything.  Jake was completely disgusted by people like that.  His father was one of those people, it was their arrogance that seemed to piss him off more than anything else.  That arrogance usually led them to making a single mistake that would hurt them a great deal.<br/><br/>Jake stared him strait in the eyes.<span style="color: green">“How do you know.  Even the professor said he only had a guess.  That is why he needs the other trainers to confirm it all.  You cannot judge pokemon by human standards either.  If that thing was some sort of parasite meant to do this to pokemon.  The host’s strength would not be a factor for a disease or parasite really.”</span>At least not by what his mother had said, and he has seen with his parent’s pokemon.  Hell his dad’s strongest pokemon had almost died from a simple disease.<br/><br/>Of course thinking about it immediately made an idea pop in his head that he would relate to conspiracy… or a bad movie.  What if it had been engineered to do that… no, not possible in this underdeveloped land.  So he didn’t even mention it, and thankfully Jay changed the subject.<span style="color: green">“Taking risks is one thing, being reckless is another thing completely.  Following them after whatever did that to the Suicune… is reckless.  Getting stronger is more out of getting experience, battling.  I will not follow them, even indirectly.  That would be reckless.  Did you not see what that Suicune did to the town, and how many pokemon it took to take it down?”</span><br/><br/>The mention of his camp didn’t seem to bother Jake much.  He hadn’t taken his pack of supplies off.  He was carrying his own place to sleep with him, and a few days of food.  Eve could help him find more.  "I'm with the girls though, whatever they chose."  he stated, nodding to Audree and Eleyna<div class="messageTextEndMarker"> </div>
