1) As desperate as I was to get out of that cage, I wasn't THAT desperate.
2) Yeaaahh, about that... I only found the 5th officer when I was trying to beat Shade because I went back to the library to see the whole field room and find out what field it was and what I could use to my advantage.
3) Joined Magma so I could beat up those Aqua losers.
4) I ultimately lost. (Also, I had no idea you could actually beat him??)
5) I saved Heather, but on my next play through Sirius better watch out.
6) Went upstairs because I doubted that they would find the two hiding in the kitchen.
7) Sided with Radomus, of course.
8) NGL, I decided to be cold-hearted and said the ring was way more important.
9) I gave it to Blake, but I regretted it because I realized I didn't have the badge to use it yet which made it completely useless.
10) I only had a peppermint, which I had no use for, so uhh...
11) Taka helped us out a bunch of time, so I thought "Well, what harm could this do?" and repaid him. Plus, I was itching for a battle against a familiar team rather than some over-powered mutant pokemon.
