[Chimera nods, decisively. They're going to go and find their trainers and everything will be just fine soon, he's sure of it. He has to be sure of it.]
Let's go, this won't take long!
--LATER--
[Chimera lies despondently on the floor of the largest holding cell in the Goldenrod City jail.]
[How could this have happened? This is the worst possible thing.]
I'm supposed to be the one keeping my TRAINER out of jail...
[Godzilla is sitting up, but is no more active than Chimera is. He's not even anxiously pacing, which is a god damn miracle, but at the cost of a destroyed spirit. Because he's just sitting there with his snout pressed forlornly against the bars on the window.]
[He doesn't say anything at first.]
[But then...]
This is it, Chimera.
If my trainer is alive, she's going to kick me off the team.
And I'll have to live in the sewer.
[Who put these ideas in his head?]
[No one.]
[He came up with them himself and just decided that they were definitely, objectively true.]

Nooo...that won't happen.
She wouldn't do that to you.

[He whips his head around. His giant crocodile lips are quivering.]
It's the sewer for me.
That's assuming that our trainers are even alive.
If they're not... we might be put on a chain gang.
I saw a movie about those.
They're awful.

[Chimera's face falls at the reminder that the two of them are possibly in terrible danger and now they can do even LESS to help.]
They have to be all right.
no subject
She doesn't send him out of a Pokeball to ride and fight other Pokemon with, either!
[But he trails off with a sad croon, turning back to STARE DRAMATICALLY out the bars.]
I wonder if they're thinking of us right now.
