[So Perry decided to go check out the Sprout Tower after finally making his way to Violet City and found himself charmed by a pretty cute Pokemon in there and decided to catch him.

And, well... after he read the Pokedex entry for the guy...]

Can people please tell me if the Pokedex entry for Phantump is just a legend or not?

Because if it's true why are people letting this poor thing fight?

It shouldn't be allowed.

[If you were able to see him, Perry is currently tearing up a little while hugging a slightly confused Phantump.

Yeah that Pokedex entry might have struck a chord with him.]

[The Phantump looks shocked at the terrified reaction as he tears up a little, not even the apology seems to be helping much.

Perry immediately grabs him again as he gives Teddie a look that's a strange mix of anger and concern. He hates you for being scared off the poor thing but doesn't know why you're afraid of shadows of all things.]

[Teddie seems genuinely frightened, taking up shutting his eyes tight and continuing to hold Rosa up as the world's most adorable shield as he prepares for the worst, his legs trembling. In fact, it's enough to cause his newest addition, Tomomi, to finally lose her grip on her leg of choice and...flop to the ground. Whoops~

Cho can't help but be concerned, patting her trainer on the head in hopes to calm him down. And it works! ...Sort of. It grabs his attention at least, and Teddie snaps out of it and peeks over his fuzzy protector. It's...not attacking him! Which is...good. Good, no attacking right now. No one needs to lose a life or anything.

Still unsure, Teddie attempts to do damage control.]

I-I mean...OH! What a little cutie! With its...red eyes and...squiggly body...

[Keyword attempt.]

[Perry furrows his brows at Teddie. Well, that's a little better but he doesn't get why you're afraid of him. It's not like it's a horrifying monster or anything.

Meanwhile Heinz still seems a little upset from Teddie's outburst. In fact Heinz is not even making eye contact with Teddie right now, as if looking at him will trigger another outburst.]

[Teddie's so unused to seeing something so...spooky act this way, in fact the only time he's aware of Shadows acting like this was when he was- Oh. Oh no. What did he do? His heart immediately sinks the moment he recognizes the damages he's done and a lump begins to build up in this throat.

Without a moment to lose, Teddie drops to his hands and knees, throwing his pokemon off of him in the process. Oh wow, he didn't mean to- He never thought he'd- This is hard.]

Gah! I-I'm sorry, I-I wasn't thinking!

[Not that he normally does, but it would've been nice if he did this time.]

Let's start over, please!

[Well that's... better but gosh Teddie you are confusing.

Heinz nervously looks back at Teddie as Perry drops to his knees to look at him better. Are you sure you're sorry?]
