[for what it's worth - not a lot, he suspects - archie shoots eevee an apologetic look. he doesn't know what blue was like, even he's seeing some of it now, he still never saw blue train his pokémon in a way similar to niko. archie can't tell how much of this is exacerbated by being an unwilling imPort, especially so young. he doesn't know that this is likely dredging up unpleasant memories for the small vulpine; he assumes it's just upset to see its trainer so distressed.

he keeps his hand on blue's shoulder, managing to suppress a flinch when blue shouts. archie looks away from the younger trainer briefly, down to the hardwood floor.] As I knew you, you'd been Ported in after just moving to Alola. Do you know that region? It's quite far away from Kanto... anyway, you [and red, but he doesn't mention that.] had been called over because of your fame and known prowess in battle to help run the place. It's... pretty big. Like, world tournament level. You spoke a lot of your sister and grandpa, too. You showed me how to properly care for Mightyena, the way someone who performs in contests would. You learned it from her. And Oak... I don't know, but you always spoke fondly of him. It's obvious that no matter what happens, you hold him in extremely high regard.

[archie looks back over to blue, concerned but still trying to smile lightly and reassuringly.]

I'm sure he feels the same about you, Blue. Even if you don't think it matters right now... the way your Pokémon love you is only indicative of a compassionate, skilled trainer. It's going to be okay. You're gonna get through this, alright? With them.
