Sudden anger swept over Touya all at once, the apathetic comments obviously hitting a nerve. His blood boiled and it seemed like his demenour changed in an instant.
"How dare you. What the hell makes you think that you can determine their worth like they’re nothing but objects? Pokemon are just as intelligent as you or I. Just because they can be confined to a pokeball does not make them fucking tools."
Oh, what was this?
He had struck a nerve!
Well, this was always the reaction he seemed to be given with trainers when it came to their pokemon. Anyone outside of Team Rocket were quick to jump the gun about such a term-- and honestly, it made him want to laugh every time it happened. Honestly... Pokemon trainers were so stupid, as were pokemon in general. They were just there to make human lives easier.
"Coming from the poor boy that let them die as if they were merely objects." he retorted with a pleasant hum, head canting to one side in mock innocence. "In a pokeball, outside of a pokeball-- as long as we're using them, they're still a tool. The definition of a 'tool' is 'something used to carry out a particular function'. What else are they? ♥"
