[ Hello! You have reached: "Walter Sullivan". Unfortunately they cannot answer the phone right now. Leave a message after the beep and they will return your call. ]
[ Robbie tried to reach out to Walter again, but was pulled back by Eileen. If anything the bear does look upset that he might have hurt Walter and sadly followed Eileen's pulls to leave him alone. Walter just kept panting, until he felt like he had his breath back. ]
I...I don't know how to train him. I've trained my Pokemon to be strong, but this isn't something I've needed to teach before. [ He's never had to teach a Pokemon restraint in their strength yet. ]
I don't have the experience either, I'm afraid... At least, not with physical strength. [If it was a matter of keeping "magical" energy in check, like Flop's psychic abilities, that would be a different story.]
He seems to know something is wrong, even if after the fact. I'm sure the two of you will figure something out.
[ Walter hummed thoughtfully. He'd be okay if Robbie just stopped touching him but it obviously upset him. Just as Jennifer insisted on being in his space.
He...kind of liked the contact. Even if he was afraid of both of them. ]
...If one of your Pokemon ever gets taken, tell me. I might be able to find them. [ He was willing to risk stealing back Anders Pokemon for his friendship. ]
[That's... something, at least. Anders can't hold Walter responsible for more than that, or so he has to tell himself. It wouldn't be fair to him -- he never asked for this.]
I appreciate it. [Though he can't guarantee he wouldn't break everything trying to get them back himself, the same they'd do for him.]
Oh, Walter... Do tell your Weavile there are no hard feelings here. He was just defending his trainer.
[ Oh....he paused before calling into the house. ]
Joseph. Joseph, come here. [ Joseph, true to form, came inand immediately jumped up to butt his head to Walter's shoulder and then spotted the screen - and waved with a friendly 'nya!' ]
Please apologize for scratching Anders. [ Joseph gave him a confused look, glance betwen them. Then shook his head, making a point of curling up on Walter's leg instead. Walter sighed ] He shouldn't have attacked you to protect me. They shouldn't do that for me.
[Walter, that is exactly the opposite of what he told you to tell him.
As usual, Anders has to do everything himself. He offers a wave back to the Weavile, not a hint of malice in his display.]
Don't fret, Joseph. [That doesn't seem to be a problem, anyway.] In fact, thank you, for being a good friend to Walter. [The guy does not stand up for himself enough, and it's reassuring to know his Pokemon will at least look out for him.]
