"He does." If there was one thing Walter was happy for, it was that Assumption didn't suffer the loneliness he had. Assumption just seemed to attract people by being his sweet self. Such as getting pats from Krieg, which caused him to wag his tail cheerfully.

While Walter didn't understand the technology of pokeballs well, it didn't completely match anything in his world. The Box system frightened him; he knew Pokemon had some awareness within their pokeballs and could burst free if they chose to, but within the box seemed immensely creepy and inescapable. Like the prison cell.

"I have a few others, but Assumption and Darkness were with me from the start." He retrieved a pokeball and opened it; in a flash of light a Honchkrow appeared with a deep cry, fluttering to Walter's shoulder. Walter automatically reached up to comb his finger through the bird's white chest feathers.

Darkness looked over the figure in front of him. He recognised Krieg from various conversations and nodded to him and his Pokemon respectfully.
