[He chuckles.]

Alright then. How about she stays with you and comes back to me when she needs to then.

[He was mostly leaving the pokemon with her to keep an eye on her for him anyway. He wanted to make sure she didn't get into trouble, and he knew he couldn't be around all the time, so she was like his backup.]

She'll just be here in case you ever need help, okay? If something happens, she can always come and get me.
