It was true that if the school needed protecting, he would be there whether he was enlisted or not. Red never turned away from people who needed help. But the thought of his trainer fighting without him at his side made him so anxious. What if something happened? What if he needed...
No. Red didn't need him. As a Venusaur who couldn't even do a basic Grass Type attack anymore, he was basically dead weight on the team. Even if he wanted to help Red, he couldn't. His expression turned grim with that little reminder of the limitations of his injury.
"Train to fight like a human, huh..." Another way of protecting things, maybe, if the things he cared about were ever threatened. Vinnie mused on it, going quiet for a moment.
"Red is a good kid. He's the best thing I ever did with my life. You're saying whether I get deployed or not is up to him?"
