Well, someone was always going to call Syn out, and it might as well be Kindle. Someone's got to ask difficult questions and look fabulous while doing it.
Good for Penny, reminding us that she's still a part of the team and that she has the best hair on a persian ever. Also, she can read, so, yeah, maybe she can learn to type, too, and have a rewarding career writing cat-related clickbait? Is your meowth trying to steal from you? Yes, almost certainly.
It's good to see them behaving adult-y enough. This is a long-overdue conversation and, even if Syn hasn't told them everything, they're going to need to trust each other for the trials ahead, and this should help.
Arceus help Shox if he's training against Brick, though. He's going to get beaten. Badly.
And then Brick's going to apologise. A lot.
