[Alekhine seems quite pleased with himself for all of about five seconds before... teleporting away. Archer doesn't seem to mind that his Pokémon has up and disappeared - he can still contact Alekhine if he needs to - the Pokémon can read his mind, after all.]

Thank you, but I have been here for quite some time. Alekhine is one of my strongest Pokémon.

[The modesty is false, of course, but he's used to putting on a show.]

Ah, about that... I take it you've never had them battle together before? How do you normally train your Pokémon, Armstrong?

[Archer prefers to train his together to foster teamwork. It's also more like commanding an army, and let's face it, he fucking loves commanding armies.]
