Is it the eyepatch and stoic demeanor, or the Pokemon with giant axes for arms that gives that impression? Not that Geddoe minds, he really isn't very big on socializing.

In any case, he shrugs at the explanation.

"I told it it was dangerous to run ahead alone, but it keeps doing it anyway." In other words, he definitely didn't think there was any foul play on the other guy's part, just a Pichu that sometimes ignores its trainer's advice. "Geddoe."

He gives his name as he holds a gloved (though somewhat worse for the wear, perhaps he was wearing those gloves when pulled here and couldn't find suitable replacements?) hand out to the Pichu. Bolt promptly hops over, squeaking and sounding pleased with itself... Only for that electrical charge that was building earlier to suddenly discharge. Hopefully Zack managed to withdraw his hand before catching any of that, though either way Geddoe definitely gets the bulk of it.

...And just stands there and takes it without even flinching, though he does look a little exasperated. Huh.
