"H-Helping me...?"
"Wow! It's almost as if you...It's almost as if you questioning about my motives has suddenly made me want to help you again! Yes, you're correct. I do want to help you. Your aura is bad, you are bad, there is nothing redeeming about your character. But I see potential in you, YES YES! I really do, potential for a trainer who can BECOME great! Good, and all that is holy! Perhaps you can wield me. Maybe. As part of a pact."
