Lyn's not a pokemon, he wants to say. The way she was raised and how pokemon are raised are very different from each other. That her upbringing wasn't ideal. That even now it still affects her.

It's not like roaming the wild, carefree, until a trainer happens along and throws a ball at you, expecting you to battle others that you might have called "friend".

...is it?

"If there is a way to let her know, I will find it. I will never leave her. Not if I can help it."

It's not just Lyn who doesn't like it when they're apart, for it upsets him too, though so far he's managed not to show it.
