Everyone was in it seemed. Walter smiled; a genuine, confident smile as he took in their suggestions. They were all making very good points too.
"With only looking at the map, I would say Pewter City and Lavender Town are the most promising options here, and as I intend to obtain the gym badges, I will be sure to make notes on the places I travel through." He nodded to Vanitas. "Once we have established ourselves here... you already have a place in mind for Johto."
At their talk of small quiet towns, he couldn't help thinking of his hometown. Small, quiet Silent Hill. The orphanage. What the people had missed, thinking that the priests were so kind and good...he tensed, expression darkening before clarity sank in and chased it away. A revelation.
"Jinx. Your community service idea...we could run some kind of shelter. For unfortunate Pokemon. The community will not look too deeply into what we do, if we are putting forward a good image. And if we obtain Pokemon from Team Rocket, it will not seem strange for us to have them in our care." A Pokemon shelter would be expected to take in hurt and abused Pokemon, wouldn't it? Walter had experience with working with the Joys in the Pokemon Centre. And while he didn't know how to help with emotional trauma... he had experience in living with people who'd gone through such things.
