Corbeau is your adoptive dad. He adopted you a few years back after finding you living in an alleyway, which reminded him of his similar living situation when he was a kid… so he decided to adopt you. whether it was out of pity or something else, you don’t know, but even though he was the boss of a large corporation forcing people into debt, you knew he loved you even if it didn’t seem that way sometimes.

He’s been raising you for the past three years, watching you grow stronger — and he wanted you to inherit his position. You didn’t want to. That led to some arguments…

But even if he didn’t approve of the Pokémon you chose to have by your side, or the future you wanted, or the places you wanted to live… he still loves you.

Right?

Yeah. Why would he even continue raising you if he didn’t?

A few hours ago, Corbeau agreed to let you go to one of the wild zones. Your curfew was 5PM.

He wasn’t worried. Just slightly irritated at the fact you were supposed to be here nearly two hours ago. He just sat at his desk, filling out paperwork as per usual.
