Kyogre: Who's Calling Me?

Jing He stepped forward, picked up the Friend Ball lying quietly on the ground, and showed a hint of helplessness.

"Such a tsundere. My reputation as a Pokémon Psychology expert nearly went down the drain."

It was not as though he had never checked Snivy's condition with the Pokédex before.
