Assumption snarled. He wanted Henry to look at him when he hit him, to face what a Bad Reciever he'd been-! He got another swing to the back of Henry's head anyway.

But then Walter touched him. He turned and look up at his trainer. Assumption was already very familiar with Walter's expressions but he could feel the worry and fear flowing from his trainer and began to shake, tears welling up. He didn't want Walter to be afraid of him. He didn't want Walter to flinch away from him like that. Slightly splattered in Henry's blood, the little Pokemon began to cry mournfully at the thought of making Walter dislike him.

Walter quickly gathered Assumption up, stepping away from Henry. "Shhh....shhh." He murmured softly. He looked over Henry. It wasn't as messy as Cynthia but...he had clearly just been savagely attacked.
