From what I know about Grimm, it may be as similar as a comparison I can manage. Still, it's important to note that Pokémon can be unruly in the wild at worst, but never evil.
[ as the saying goes, there's no such thing as a bad pokémon. carbink is a little ambivalent to the sudden stranger cuddles at first, but gradually relaxes - its body is hard as diamonds, but the collar separating its body from its head is as soft and fluffy as cotton candy! aggron parts himself from his trainer's petting to watch jaune address him, opening his mouth in what appears to be its best attempt at a smile with a jaw that vicious. ]
That's about right. [ well done, jaune! full points to you. ] Though that's not to say that Carbink can't hold its own in battle as well - both of them are good friends of mine and essential members of my team.
Indeed. [ he nods. ] Some more than others. Carbink had been with me for a little over a year before arriving here, whereas Aggron was caught when I was a bit younger than you.
[ in fact, he was the first pokemon that he caught on his own - as an aron in granite cave. there are plenty of memories there; the fond look in his eye as he gazes up at aggron says as much. ]
I specialize in training Steel and Rock-type Pokemon; as I travel and meet new ones, my team tends to change.
Caught... you mean inside those little magic balls, right?
[ Not that Jaune thinks of these Pokemon as Steven's prisoners, but he's quietly wondering what the difference is, because there must be one. The Pokemon look happy in captivity... even inside those tiny balls. ]
Yes and no. Poké Balls are indispensable tools for Trainers, but they're the product of science and technology. Magic doesn't exist in my world.
[ as "magical" as some pokémon seem to be, it's all based on observable scientific phenomena. he's had to explain this enough times that he knows how to put people's worries at ease. ]
The relationship between Pokémon and their Trainers is a willing exchange. If they felt so inclined, any of them could easily break out of their Poké Balls and refuse to take my commands. They're designed for both comfort of the Pokémon and ease of portability.
[ even carbink will look up and nod its body as well as it can in jaune's hold. that's right! ]
