Adam opened his mouth a bit, closed it again, and considered that for a moment. "I'd say you're a bully more than a ghost," he said.

His Phantump looked at him uncertainly, with a quiet "Phaaan?"

"There's no need to resort to violence. What did that-" Uh, oh no, what was that Pokemon, anyway? "-what did it ever do to you?" He had a bad feeling about this.

"Kid I am way worse than a ghost," and with the grin Grimmjow flashes, it's pretty obvious that he's at least trouble.

Cubone reaches the Caterpie, waggling his bone a few times.

"Peee?" the Caterpie asks, even as the bone club comes down and... bonks it, ever so gently, on the head. "Pee," it is such a sad little noise from the Caterpie that Cubone tosses down its club and starts wailing and crying.

And Grimmjow groans. "That," he said, gesturing at the crying pokemon.

Oh no. "Right. Bullies are way worse than ghosts," Adam said.

Stepping around Grimmjow, he went over to crouch down next to the Cubone and Caterpie, gently patting one and then the other. "Hey, little guy," he said just as gently to the Cubone. "You're okay. No one's hurt." He even turned to check on the Caterpie to make sure it didn't have a bump or anything, assuming that it would if it'd been hit too hard.

"You're okay, right?" He knew he wouldn't understand any answers, but he figured Pokemon were like dogs, maybe; they could understand tone of voice.

"Hey!" Grimmjow gets to his feet and storms over. "Leave 'im alone! He's never gonna learn if he gets treated like a baby," and he grabs for Adam's shoulder, to physically pull him away if he has to.

Nevermind that Cubone was a baby.

"Cuuubone," the little creature replied, its waterworks petering out already, rubbing a little paw at its eyes. The Caterpie is, thankfully, just fine.

Adam flinched and pulled away from Grimmjow's grip so hard he knocked himself over, luckily not onto any of the Pokemon. He was more startled than angry, his heart pounding.

"Some father you'd be," he said, tone even. "You'd bully anybody, wouldn't you?"

He was, maybe, jumping to conclusions, but he'd already gotten attached to his Phantump and it was sort of like...well, it was a toss-up between a pet and family. More than that though, this guy gave him the same sort of vibes his father had.

Grimmjow snorted, looking down his nose at Adam. "The fuck is that even supposed to mean?" he demanded, already turning his attention back to the Cubone, scooping it up with an arm around its middle. "Ain't none of your damn business if I'm gonna teach another hollow the ropes anyway. You're not a soul reaper." Though Adam certainly reminded him of them. Rude. Self-righteous. Poking their noses in where it didn't belong. All he needed was a sword and a shihakusho.

[forleaving]

It meant he'd made a bad impression on Adam, that was what. He pushed himself up to his feet, brushing off his pants. He didn't understand what Grimmjow was even talking about, but that didn't stop him. Anyone else, he would inquire but he wasn't sure he would get proper answers.

"It means," he said, "You'd get a lot farther here by treating your companion with compassion."
