Mentus was irritated by these questions....especially from such an ignorant child...blinded by emotion or not. He replied, anyway,
I do not always let him do as he pleases, young Master Marcus. Many times, I am his voice of reason. However, if he feels he is threatened...by anyone...he is allowed to react as he sees fit to remove the threat to his safety. He grants me the same freedom. If you need a reference, think back to the battle with Master Z. In your position...you struck my Master. To protect us both, I had to keep you back, in some way. I do not enjoy putting you in this position, but do not misunderstand...if you threaten us again...I will make it so you will never do so again.
Mentus continued,
I will be more open to you than my Master is...because you ought to know this to better understand him. His father was a wicked man, as you already know. What you do not know is that he was also very abusive towards his own family. He beat myself, my Master, and his mother, who loved both of us dearly...almost every day. He forced us to battle; wild Pokemon, other Trainers,....even him. We were taught to win...or suffer the pain and punishment of failure. This is why, back in the contest hall, I lost control. Being so injured and so near defeat, I saw the visage of his father...and thought back to all those battles that we lost or refused to fight in. He would beat my Master first...and then make him watch as he beat me. Fearing that pain, I lost control..and probably could've killed that Axew...had I turned my psychic box into a compactor, like I was trained to do. We served his father for a few years, did many regrettable things...
Another pause. Mentus continued,
We came to Petalburg a few years ago...as you know. You also know what the town looked like when you returned. What you do not know is that it was we, and the other members of Silph Co's Psychic Division, that leveled the gym and overturned the other buildings. We were to wreck the infrastructure, while his father and his team sought out the Pokemon trainers...you know the rest. We returned home after that...his mother was told that the business trip was very successful. That's when we received the gambling chip. Mother was so proud of us, becoming more grown-up every day.
After another pause, more came to Marcus,
...Then he killed her...in a rage. We ran...had to get away. Master always kept me safe. Asked me to do things, some that I didn't like, and I told him so. However, he never hurt me...and never let me come to harm if he could prevent it. I am NOT his slave...far from it. I am the only friend he has in the world...and he is mine. We will do whatever it takes to keep each other safe, to whomever we must.
