Reciprocity
If he calls be a baby for screaming when some disgusting bug-type crawls into my sleeping bag, then I can call him an idiot for getting us lost each and every time into some unknown forest… even if it's me holding the map.
If he takes away my towel and clothes while I'm showering –and makes me wrap myself in the bathroom rug and search for them –then I can hide his underwear before he's about to change and enjoy as he searches for hours… although after the first time, I'd rather keep away from those.
If he angrily tells me to leave him alone after he's lost a battle, I can tell him to leave me alone after I realize I have to go back to Cerulean, just as angrily and running away in the process… but I'd want him with me shortly after.
If he tells me that our peculiar first meeting was not a coincidence, and says that we were meant to meet –making everything so much harder –, I tell him we will meet again… and I know it's such a hard promise to keep.
If he lets other people know that he misses me there, but just can't get himself to say it in my face, then I won't say it either… Mew knows how much I want to, though.
And if one day he comes back, after seeing so much people, and so many places, and so many Pokémon –his dreams finally accomplished, then I'll make sure I accomplish all of mine too… and that day I'll tell him.
And he'll tell me too. That's how reciprocity works, after all.
