Wang Yao bit into the tart fruit, fell to his knees, and bawled.

Looking down at his Trainer, who had been crying for half an hour without stopping, Sceptile had no idea how to comfort him. He simply went off to train alone, out of sight, out of mind.
Sceptile had learned a great deal from his last exchange with Blaziken, and had even used Blaziken's Special Training Method to create a routine better suited to himself.
Sceptile sliced through a tree and gazed at the setting sun, hoping he would someday get to fight Blaziken again.

Cynthia nodded. "Yes. With Ye Qing around, it's hardly surprising something like this happened. It was probably that one's way of protecting him."
After a long pause, Cynthia gave Dragon Tamer a somewhat sympathetic look and added, "You should get used to it, too."
