It was too foggy; I didn't see them. [ Frustration slips back into his tone. Why was Green asking. ] Come on Green, they couldn't have anything to do with this. We just knocked into each other!
[ He would have felt it if the ball was tugged from his belt if Green's continuing on the point for the reason Red thinks he is -- there's no way he wouldn't have. The idea was stupid.
As for the next words out of Green's mouth, well. Green's pokémon, Green's choice; Red doesn't ask any further. He watches the creature leave, then he's back to lamenting the situation. His feet are walking again. ]
And this is why I think you're an idiot. [ He rolls his eyes, exasperated at Red's sheer willingness to trust everyone he comes along. ] I don't think anyone we've seen already would've done it, but we have newbies here, don't we? People don't just bump into each other and walk away - they either tell you to watch it, or apologize. Or something.
'sides, the new guy probably saw Charizard, and thought it'd be cool to have one too. [ Does he really have to explain this, really?
Once Pidgeot's gone he watches in silence as Red walks back and forth, weight resting on one foot. There's a pause, then - ]
[ BUT THE MAGIKARP SELLER WAS A TRUSTWORTHY LOOKING GUY, GREEN. ]
But- they did say that! They told me to watch it!
[ It's the last defence that he'll give, but it doesn't mean that he wants to convict a stranger of a crime they can't be sure of. Nevertheless, it adds to the sickening churning in his stomach that already makes his tongue taste bitter, imagining Charizard being in the hands of someone else. Red looks over to Green when he speaks again and gives a short sound of acknowledgement, and he'll follow, but with a mind half elsewhere than on his company.
If anyone else at all found him, just thought him a tool, hurt him - it would all be on him. It already was. ]

C'mon. We're gonna move somewhere else.
