[The Pokémon by his side tense at the intrusion of this strange boy. People getting up in his face is the last thing their trainer needs right now. Despite their reservations, though, something clicks in Ishimaru's head and prompts him to turn towards Waver.
It isn't nearly enough to bring him back to his old self, but it is a pleasant enough surprise.]
You're the boy from the transmissions tower...!
[At the time, going to help the city he was so loyal to was a no-brainer, but thinking about it now, he isn't sure if he would do it again. His sense of loyalty screams yes, but his sensibilities are filled with regret, brimming with what-ifs, things he could have done infinitely better than he did. He gave it his all, but it wasn't enough. There were many people who could have done better in his place.
Blaziken glances down at Waver himself, then averts his eyes.]
