I don't really consider myself a Pokemon trainer, since while some of us had them in the last world I was in, they weren't common there, and we didn't do gym battles and stuff. I didn't really know another word to really describe it. But I caught Ace when he was a Riolu. And he knows that's he more than just a pet. He's a companion, friend, and family. We're very close. I wasn't expecting him to evolve, ever, but he did because we had a close friendship. That's what I was told. I'm sorry if I upset you. That wasn't my intention.
