"Yes, you." Jon replied, smiling a little bit. She was always so humble.
"First of all, strength isn't everything. To me, Pokémon training is about companionship, teamwork and trust first. Strength is something I am sure you have in greater measure than you realize. I'd like to help you find it and nurture it."
His smile softened. Out of almost every person he'd ever met, she seemed most able to draw out whatever gentleness his soul possessed. She had a calming effect on him and always had. Maybe it was her ties to water? That was a soothing element, wasn't it?
"We'd work on that together, at your pace. You said that you want to gain confidence and self assurance. I think... I think that I can help you. I'd love the opportunity to try. A Pokémon team and their trainer are like family. I've seen that here. I think that between the two of us, we'd make an outstanding team."
XD Should I have had him drop to one knee? LOL
