I'm glad you don't blame yourself. You're right, you shouldn't.
[A soft hint of a smile.
He's not saying he's not going to not blame himself. It's in his nature to assume the blame, it's in his nature to direct negativity away from others, leaving only himself. He may not be aware of it on a wholly conscious level, but he does know it's futile to try not to blame himself for this. How can he not, when he was the direct participant in that contest?]
Thank you for your words. But it was only the right thing to do, stepping forward like that. I wouldn't have her fight any of you - even if your Pokemon are capable, I would never want to see you hurt.
