[His team, sure. They look up to him, they care about him. But Jean told him he was "like a father". Matt told him he had feelings for him. Could any of that have ever happened, elsewhere?]

Haunter's been keeping the nightmares away, for me. Sometimes Kuro pretends to eat my arm. It... they really do help.
[Not to mention Jean and Armin. Without them, without his pokemon, he probably would be staggering around Mt. Mortar with broken ribs and endless nightmares. Even now.]
