[It's interesting to him, how close they seem. As a man who has up until very recently had an incredibly difficult time forming bonds (mainly due to self-sabotage, he admits), the particular partnership between a Pokemon and their trainer fascinates him.

It's a type of mutually beneficial relationship that really only exists localized to this universe, and that sort of thing is his bread and butter.]
