Walter looked down at Assumption, then back to Henry, expression hardening. He wasn't sorry. He wasn't sorry for Henry getting attacked by Assumption, even as he looked down on Henry's battered form. A part of him still couldn't believe that Assumption had done this. Had...had intervened and protected him. He would've let Henry kill him but Assumption wouldn't let that happen.
Assumption's sobs began to calm, leaving the two men in the throbbing silence that followed. Henry's blood was smeared over Assumption's club and over Walter's coat, where he had held Assumption to him. Walter breathed in and exhaled. He felt...something, when he looked at Henry. Not pity. Not shame either. But some kind of remorse. Assumption had been such a sweet, good Pokemon. And now his paws were bloody, because of Walter. Another youth, taken by the Order and baptised in blood.
Would...would the Jennies come and take Assumption away? Without meaning to, he tightened his hold on the little Cubone. He couldn't lose him. He'd rather die than lose Assumption. Walter recalled Assumption to his pokeball with a gentle whisper to hide his bloody state. And, pulling out his Pokegear and turning, Walter turned and started walking briskly towards the Pokemon Centre.
He'd inform Heather of Henry's location. He'd get out of Goldenrod immediately. He didn't know what Henry would tell Heather; hopefully, Walter prayed that he would tell her that he had attacked him, not Assumption.
