I doubt he'll do anything. Look, back in our world when you take on the responsibility of having... ball animals, you're expected to take care of them properly. I can tell ya with absolute certainty that he isn't and he's been abusin' them instead.

[he knows he shouldn't have taken them, but he is not good at resisting impulses. see: entire plot of alpha sapphire. the regret is clear in his voice, but archie is sticking to his guns.]

There's--- there's someone here who should have the authority to remove them from the trainer in question, but he's done nothin' about it. So. I ain't leavin' them in his care to suffer more.
