[Even if Kain is the only one who is technically his, and Pokemon aren't pets so much as they are partners, Ignis certainly has developed a fondness for most of Steven's team, as well, and has taken great pleasure in learning their tastes so that he might prepare them meals from time to time as he does for Kain.]

Quite a brood we've assembled between the two of us, isn't it?

[Humans included.]
