What am I supposed to do, take the next trip to Unova and drop him off wherever he came from?

He's my Pokémon. He's family. Deep down, he's a good guy and looks out for me. He puts up with a lot of my shit and really does want to protect me.

[...] He never really had a loving family, Gold. All he really had was Dusty. It explains a lot. ...I don't want either of them to be alone, just the two of them.
