[McGucket only looks more distressed. His knee has begun to bounce; it's a good thing it's not working any of the pedals right now.]
Jumpin' junebugs! Team Rocket goin' through you three is exactly what I been worryin' about!
[He slaps the knee. It stops, for now.]
That's why Ford and I ain't exactly talkin' much. Your grunkle's got a real impressive collection of rare an' powerful Pokemon. He's already on the Rockets' radar! It ain't safe. They're watchin' the roads, they're watchin' the Pokeygears, they're watchin' me!
If anything happened to him or you kids because of somethin' I did, why -- I'd never forgive myself.
[They're extraordinary kids. McGucket knows that. He saw them take down a thirty-year-old cult. But still--still. He doesn't want to see any trouble come down on them on his account.
Bump bump bump bumpbumpbump goes that knee again.]
