[And that's the side of Char's fist hitting the door frame.]
Good for you, Max! You're an excellent pillar of support and I'm sure Bulba's sendin' you a fruit basket as we speak, but what goes on in my team ain't the business of any human but Green. I don't gotta justify nothin' to you.
It ain't buttin' in if it gets dropped in my lap. I'm your friend and I'm Bulba's friend and I'll be damned if I ain't gonna try to give you the same trust that Bulba gave me.
And I know your team better'n you think I do. You wanna know somethin' nobody ever told you? Remember that week that Blastoise acted sorta weird a year and a half ago? He did ice beams instead of doin' hydro pumps durin' practice a few times?
[Oh. Cool. More secrets his team kept from him for like a year. That is really excellent.]
Nice to know he's trustin' one of us.
Look, I don't care if you got involved in some bullshit body-swap. That don't mean shit. I got stuck bein' Genny for a week, and that don't mean I run an army of little faggots in masks.
[Wow, Char, that is a really great choice of words when the conversation is tiptoeing around the issue of your brother's homosexuality. A+ sensitivity, there.]
[Oh. Okay. Another secret. Boy Char sure is loving this shit.]
Great. Good for you. I'm so proud of you. I'm sure bein' Bulba made you understand his heart and soul a hundred times better than I could ever hope to. Truly, you are one with him, Max. In fact, since you're such an expert, maybe you can go discuss your oh-so-intimate connection with him instead of comin' here to piss me off.
[And he's just gonna try and shut the door in Max's face now. I say try because there is a 65% chance that door is going to wind up torn off its hinges in the near future.]
::Max sticks his large, steel-toed boot into the door to keep it from shutting. I dare you to try shutting this door. It can't be done.::
No. I don't. I don't know what it's like to be with him on the road, fightin' other trainers to be the number one guy's team. I don't know what it's like to be a real pokemon, not really. You're the one who knows that better that anybody else at this school.
He looks up to you. And when he needed you, you left him. And if me tellin' you that that pisses you off, it's 'cause you know you hurt somebody who loves you in a way that you don't know if you can take back or not.
Hey, Max.

So you didn't run away because of Bulba, then?

I told you it ain't none of your business, Max.
[Said flatly and forcefully. Max, that is his "gonna hit you in like 30 seconds" voice. Never mind that hitting Max is an instant ticket to death]

It got made my business when he told me months ago, 'cause he was too scared to know how to tell you.
And then it got made my business again when I had to try and cheer up your brother when you left.

That was me in his body.
