Let's Talk About Helping Out Officer Jenny

Goh: Wait, wait... what's this about?

Me: Oh, it's a bit special, so I'm framing it in a "Let's Talk". 

Goh: Well, OK. So now we're talking about...

Me: Officer Jenny - and our dealings with her.

Goh: Isn't that kind of sensitive to you?

Ash: But I think it's also fine when it's about and with us.

Me: That's right. I mean, you two did deal with her once, to help her out.

Ash: I was thinking about that. That was a fun time!

Goh: You have to admit that's true - and kind of needed for our research.

Ash: Yeah, and we got to make good and everything.

Pikachu: Pi pika! ["All neat!"]

Ash: So, what's the sensitive thing for our friend?

Me: I guess it's just that so many things have been happening lately that make other people (and me) uneasy with people like Officer Jenny - in my world, that is.

Ash: They have to do good work, don't they?

Me: I wish it seems that easy to say that for all the people like that.

Goh: But you know, people are all different. So I'm sure there have to be ones who do good work.

Me: You know, that could be true for at least some people.

Goh: You don't have to get involved all the time - just when you need to.

Ash: And you could help them out somehow.

Me: Well, sure. On that note, I did receive a request that we could help them out somehow.

Ash: See?

Pikachu: Pika. ["Nice."]

Goh: OK, so now we have a context. Where'd you get sent to this time? 

Ash: A little far-off town - with one of our friend's friend.

Goh: And this had to involve "Officer Jenny" somehow.

Ash: The person was just like what our friend said, almost like her.

Me: What did you end up doing, for helping out?

Ash: I got to hand out flyers to people and meet students at a school.

Goh: Oh! A little like my school?

Ash: Sure, it was like that.

Goh: That means you did this in the daytime.

Ash: Yup, in the morning.

Pikachu: Chu pi pika. ["Very early on."]

Me: I'm told no other characters were available for this... so we got picked for this.

Ash: And I got something for you for doing it.

Goh: That's pretty nice!

Me: It is. So, after all this, maybe I have less qualms about dealing with them when I need to.

Goh: There you go, when you need to.

Ash: And then we can always do things to help.

Goh: But I guess I can tell if it's still "sensitive" for you.

Me: That. But hey, Officer Jenny is a good foundation for real people like her in my world.

Ash: I'd say yes! 

Me: And after all that, the good in helping can become good things later on.

Ash, Goh: Yeah!
