Anyone ever addressed the subject of a trainer butting heads with a pokémon naturally inclined to be exceedingly dominant? I'm having trouble coming up with how that dominant nature would be expressed, since love for one's companion alone won't make instinct, personality, or culture magically dissipate overnight. Exacerbating this problem is that the trainer is strict during actual training, but exceedingly meek when dealing with other people. While their pokémon is reserved, it was raised in a culture that values strength and strict social hierarchy. It becomes confused with its position in relation to its trainer's, especially once it evolves. While asserting dominance doesn't necessarily mean violent confrontation, the trainer's lack of understanding could potentially lead to physical injury, to say nothing of betrayal. I just wanted to know if anyone's read/written something close to this topic.
