"Sir, part of being a good trainer is recognizing a lethal attack. Pinsir's Bind is not dangerous. Nor is going underwater for an Arbok. Nor do I believe that a lethal attack from an Arbok is any more effective than a 'restrained' one. It is clear you acted recklessly even if what you say is true. If you cannot use your Arbok without 'restraining' her power, you cannot use an Arbok at all. Especially given this was a battle where your party outnumbered your opponent, it seems."

"I'm also very interested to know how the trainer came to need rescuing in the first place. He informs me he can swim and that he was paralyzed, which are easy to confirm."

"Then we have the victim's testimony, which conflicts with yours at major points. As for his phone, there are plenty of phones that can survive a brief submersion, including any Pokedex. Nor am I interested in providing details about a potential victim to his potential attacker."

"As for the anonymous tip, it happened and we have it on tape. Therefore I know for a fact there must have been someone else near you at the time, unless a member of your own party made the call, or the victim called to report his own ambush while he was in battle with you? Unlikely. Calling for aid is the correct response in that situation, especially as it seems that situation quickly escalated. Your attempts to shift the blame truly worry me, Mr. Zachariah."

"Rangers from other districts don't have jurisdiction here, of course, though you are welcome to contact anyone you wish as a character witness if you intend to take this to trial. I don't see how they would possibly know any more than I do about this particular situation."

"So, let's see. It appears I'm going to have to charge you at least for reckless use of a lethal attack. The other charges will require more evidence, but it might come to that anyway depending on the victim's wishes. He is entirely in his rights, given the unprovoked assault he describes. Now, in Creshire, you have the right to contest any charge in a courtroom, the nearest one being in Corsage Port. I'd be happy to advise you on the next step if you wish to take this route."

"Right now I am going to write you a ticket for reckless use of a lethal attack, or order thereof. The penalty is $3000. You have one week to pay this sum or file paperwork contesting it. May I see your trainer's license, please?"
