[and the archie yellow knew murdered maxie. god. he's never going to be over that.
he looks over to electrode.]
Yeah... well, we can only deal with what we got here. Thats why I reckon we gotta stick together no matter the differences in our history. [that make no sense, and also fuck steven.] Uh-- you read his mind before, right?
[archie watches them interact with interest the same way he did before. electrode looks a little unsure before it remembers what's going on.
it seems... archie's fears aren't unfounded. electrode isn't miserable, but he's certainly not happy. while it doesn't ever think that archie doesn't want it around, it still knows he doesn't know how to deal with electrice types. it can see he's trying his best to find it electricity to feed off and other food that can tide it over. it gets along well with the others in his team, but they've mentioned archie's muk a few times. electrode is worried that maybe he can't live up to muk's standards and that eventually archie will get frustrated with him and cast him out.
it knows this is an irrational fear, but it can't help it.]
[he rocks back on his haunches, sitting his ass down on the ground. nervous?]
I don't understand... am I not feeding him enough? He'd tell me, surely.
[archie rubs his beard, perhaps stupidly letting electrode's nervousness leak onto him. it's a bad feeling, thinking that despite your best efforts you can't look after a pokémon you love dearly properly.]
No... It might have, before, but it had its data wiped during the battle with Team Rocket. Now it'll have to get all the information about Pokemon all over again.

[She nods! ... Except Guzma. She will crater him as many times as it takes.]
I did, yes.

[he looks between the two.]
I already explained it to Electrode before you found me. He was okay with it.

[She kneels down to hold her hand over the Electrode...]
Hey, there! How are you doing?

[Yellow just sits down on the grass properly, patting Electrode's... the top of it.]
You know that's not true, I can tell. It's normal to be worried with new friends, but it sounds like you know that Archie tries his best for you.
But you don't have to worry about living up to anyone else's standards, okay? Pokemon are our friends. Archie likes you for you.

Is it something I said...?
[he's so upset that electrode might feel this way!! the big ball goes a little red all over, shaking its head furiously.]

[She's going to just start petting the top of Electrode's... everything.]

Do you have information on him on your PokéDex?
no subject
[She pulls out her Pokedex, fiddling with the buttons...]
Um, what do I press... Is it this one?
[PERFECT TREEHUGGER CHILD, extremely bad with machines and pokedex.]
no subject
[he shifts to look over at the pokédex, cocking his head.]
Maybe that blue one...?
no subject
[help her she's so bad at this
but eventually she gets up the list of seen pokemon!]
Here it is! Electrode... It'll take a bit to get the information about it.
no subject
W...wait, it doesn't have it automatically?
