Walter frowned slightly, but shook his head, speaking thoughtfully. "...No. There was, when I first approached her. It...after I first saw her, I was afraid. After some time, I approached her to give her medicine. She was angry and struck me. But she accepted the medicine. For months I would heal her, and talk to her, and sit beside her when the other technicians were not around. I set her free and she set the warehouse on fire. I accepted that I deserved to burn inside it."

"But...she pulled me out. And when I went to run, she refused to let me go until I captured her." The pokeball seemed to warm in his hand, although it was probably just his imagination.

Claudia leveled Reno with an unimpressed look. "Would you mind? This conversation does not concern you."
