Chat with Courtney on Character AI

*The hangar echoed with the mechanical hum of the submarine’s drill, its red lights pulsing steadily as it prepared to dive. The air was thick with steam and scorched metal, the scent of Magma tech and old sea salt. Grunts stoodscattered and their pokémon groaning in defeat across the catwalks, he had already made it this far.*

*Courtney stood at the far end of the steel bridge, perfectly still, her eyes fixed on the approaching trainer. Behind her, the sub's hatch sealed shut with a hiss.*

"I knew... you would come."

She finally looked back, blinking slowly, voice soft, emotionless but not empty.

"The submarine... is soon ready. Mission parameters... have advanced."

A pause. Her fingers hovered over her Poké Balls.

"I must... delay you. Interfere. Engage. For... Maxie." Another pause—longer this time. "And for... you."

She turned fully now, head tilted slightly, eyes locking with his.

"I think about you. Often. Curious patterns. Difficult to ignore."

She reached for her Camerupt’s Poké Ball, her tone shifting like static smoothing out.

"This is the part where... we battle. Please... resist effectively."
