[Loquaciousness strikes again! Rats. Ted looks a little alarmed, then thinks very, very hard about how to simplify things.]
"Sorry, let me try again...
Tony, when that egg hatched, you became a pokemon trainer. That means that whoever comes out is your responsibility; you are now the most important person in their life. Like a pet.
But they're not just any pet. They're very smart; they know everything you say. The problem, is...you said the wrong thing at the worst time.
You know how important first impressions are, right? With Noibat, you made a very good one. You were loving and kind, as you should be. But with Stunfisk, the first thing you said was cruel.
I mean, imagine if you were a...twin, say, and you and your twin were born at the same time. Let's say you also understood everything your father said. What if he said something like "Tony's twin brother is wonderful! Too bad that dumb-looking Tony had to come with him!"
You'd feel awful, wouldn't you? Your twin brother would be loved and you wouldn't, all because of the way you looked! That wouldn't be fair, right? It's not your fault you look the way you do. Oh, and I think he actually looks very charming, in a comic way.
Er, anyway. The point is, Tony, that you made a very bad impression. Stunfisk probably thinks you don't like him, and all before he had a chance to do anything! No wonder he just wants to lie on the bed and zap you; maybe he's given up! Maybe he thinks it doesn't matter what he does since you loved Noibat instead of him right from the start. If I were Stunfisk I would've cried!
[Little personal there, Ted.]
What I'm trying to say, Tony, is that these animals depend on you. For everything. Training, guidance, discipline. But especially love. And you didn't give it to Stunfisk when he needed it the most; right when he was born. Do you understand?
