* In the same chapter, while continuing to [[NeverMyFault blame Chloe]] for how he was punished for trying to ruin her reputation, Goh fantasizes about telling her all the ways that Pokémon are superior, including when it comes to her most negative traits. While he's very much in a bad place when saying it, the statements aren't that far off.
-->'''Goh:'''His mind flashed back to Sonia during the last trip to Galar, about how she was also a research assistant who had no idea what she wanted, the story of Darkest Day fresh in his mind when Goh just remembered that he could’ve told Chloe about it instead of the battles, the Pokémon and curry.
-->'''Goh:'''This was Chloe’s fault yet again, for not telling Goh what she wanted to hear and stating that she loved stories. And more importantly, this was her fault in general for the way she was in not wanting to leave Vermillion City if she hated the city. Why didn’t she just ask her dad to pull her out of class and let her travel? She didn’t need to have a Pokémon to explore! Goh didn’t have one when he first entered Galar or when he and Ash followed the parade of Bulbasaur across the city. She was a coward ; at least he took the steps to move forward and his words to Scorbunny encouraged the Fire-type to move out of his comfort zone and expand his horizons instead of sticking to thievery.
-->'''Goh:'''And Sobble...Sobble was afraid and timid, but not weak . Chloe? Chloe was weak . She couldn’t defend herself, she couldn’t tell everyone to stop bugging her and here she was, treated like a princess because she ran away. She was always told what to do or say, never made her own decisions, never stepped up to the plate to make a change. Someone else had to do something and then she’d follow.
-->'''Goh:'''She didn’t even run away until other people did something. Even then ,she couldn’t even run away on her own. Heck, she needed a train to actually run away instead of just coming back home after an hour to apologize for her actions and that she would never do any of that again.
-->'''Goh:'''No wonder she hated Pokémon so much, they could do everything she did better. Sobble was a better coward, Raboot was a better sulking loner, Ash’s Gengar was the better one at resenting everyone and everything and lurking around in a foul mood, Skwovet was a better cause of problems because it was focused on his stomach...Goh could make a list on why Pokémon were better companions than humans and then shove it in Chloe’s face…

--> '''Delia:''' Yes.

--> '''Delia:''' You were
--> '''Parker: ''' And I wanted her back, wanted everyone to pay for hurting her...when I should’ve said something….And now everyone hates me! Everyone hates me and they’ll hate Chloe too and I didn’t want that! Why did they have to hate her in the first place

--> '''Parker:''' “I’m so sorry...I-I just wanted Chloe to be happy but now I ruined everything….what do I do? You hate me...so it’s fine, I’ll just...I’ll do anything to make it up to you and Ash...
--> '''Delia (bitterly):''' What can you do? You’re five, and you no longer have the Unown. I understand what that’s like by the way, this isn’t the first time my family dealt with them. [[Anime/Pokemon3 I was actually pulled into another Unown creation by another five year old]]. She wanted a new mama. But do you know what was different between her and you?
--> '''Parker:''' Molly.
-->'''Delia:'''She wasn’t angry at anyone, she didn’t have fun hurting me. She didn’t want to go after anyone. She wanted to remake her family, and I just happened to be the first mother she saw. I wasn’t targeted. You targeted people. And even when Ash and his friends went after her, they weren’t mad, they saw a lonely girl while you saw everyone as a potential enemy. ''(Parker nodded his head in shame)''Parker, I am ''furious'' at you for what you caused. By keeping all of these secrets, you only made Chloe’s pain grow and grow. I guess I can understand that, for your age, being different does feel very scary and to not have your parents’ support would be the worst thing ever. But the way you lashed out at everyone was unacceptable. You gave my son nightmares. Ones where you are hurting all of his friends. Because you ''did'' hurt his friends, not just himself. You drove one of his friends into a ''suicide ward''. That’s why he will probably never forgive you, Parker. It’s why ''I'' won’t. You might very well earn some forgiveness from the people around you, but you will have to work for it
--> '''Parker:'''I’ll do whatever I can, I want to be a good boy. I’m so sorry...I didn’t know what to say at the time…
--> '''Delia:'''Like your sister hiding what she wanted because of her own fears. The two of you refusing to talk hurt a lot of people, including yourselves. You’ll need to think about that.

-->''Your father mentioned the possibility of us moving in the last email, and we have a place in mind. It’s in Pallet, where we can work with Professor Oak. But it’s not complete yet, and it turns out that there is one only one guest house in pallet Town and Ash’s mother owns it.''
-->''I just had a very...enlightening chat with her. The good news is that she’s agreed to house me and your father while we get situated in our new home if it comes to that.''
-->''Parker is a different story...and I think you might be as well.''
-->''As far as she’s concerned, you’re just a self-pitying runaway throwing a tantrum that the world didn’t give you everything you wanted on your exact terms, even though you never said what you wanted and rejected everything you were offered. And then you ran away after lighting matches so everything burned to the ground once you were far away, and then started demanding that we earn your forgiveness even after you started hurting everyone around you.''
-->''I...almost agree.''
-->''You wanted me to act as a parent to you, and to see you as who you are. Well, part of being a parent is acknowledging your child’s flaws and addressing them. Granted, there’s only so much I can do on this side of the Train. But I will tell you this: the long speeches, the sarcastic sniping, the passive aggressive ‘oh why didn’t you do this sooner’?''
-->''It has to stop RIGHT NOW.''
-->''There is nothing you can say that we haven’t already heard...from you, from each other, from everyone else. We get it. We messed up, ignored you, never considered your feelings and so on and so forth. ''
-->''But you’re just as responsible for keeping things quiet until they boiled over, and keeping that same attitude forever will not help. If you did that the best case scenario would be you ending up in this same situation again and this all repeating again (hopefully sans Unown).''
-->''This will apply both now and when you do get back. Delia says that you need to actually apologize to her son, ask for his forgiveness after all the fuss you made about him getting yours. I’ve no doubt he’ll give it to you, but you still need to own up to how you messed up and ask him for it. If you don’t and you get back quickly enough, you’ll probably have to share a tent with Parker.''
-->''If you don’t want to forgive or talk to your classmates, fine. Don’t talk to them (I certainly won’t). That’s your right. But if you do want to see them, it shouldn’t be until you’re at least willing to entertain the possibility of trying again with them. They have been hurt and told how horrible they were more than enough.''
-->''Also apparently Sara’s mother said her daughter emailed you so be on the lookout for that and get a pillow to scream in. Don’t worry, she’s long gone. But do not try to chase her down. The foster system is hard enough at the best of times, let alone with Sara’s situation.''
-->''This goes for Goh as well. I’m attaching a document of everything he’s heard you “say”, both in text and in his nightmares. If nothing else, it’ll save you some time and energy when you return...provided that Goh is still in Vermillion City by then. If you understand what I mean.''
-->''And finally... stop pretending that Professor Cerise isn’t your father. It’s getting childish. He’s your father, and nothing is going to change that. He wanted what was best for you, and yes, he did so much wrong. But the intention was clear; he loved you, always has, always will.''
-->''We are absolutely done with the speeches, the blame game, the anger and the punishments. And we won’t care to hear them from you anymore than we have to hear them from the public or the team of lawyers we have to deal with now and for however many more months to come, if not years.''
-->''Make no mistake...you are my daughter, and I love you dearly. But I need to put my foot down here. So much harm has been caused, and I can’t pretend your hands are completely clean. None of us can. Everyone else has owned up to their part of it, and you need to as well.''

...
--> '''Delia (groaning):'''You are glossing over the simple thread that ties all of this together. The reason your parents didn’t know Chloe needed help, the reason you felt the need to go on a rampage, the reason that my ''son'' was made miserable even before your little fun with the Unown is because your sister ''lied'' about herself to everyone.
--> '''Parker:'''She had to! Because no one accepted her as she was. What was she supposed to say, ‘I’m Chloe Cerise and even though my dad is a professor I don’t like Pokémon?’ She’d be laughed at! She ''was'' laughed at!
--> '''Delia:'''Children can be the opposite of their parents. Just look at my own family: Ash can’t cook and I could probably list what he shares with his father other than looks on one hand and have a finger or two to spare. Your parents love her, and would accept her interests. I don’t think if she said ‘I’d rather do something unrelated to Pokemon’ they’d have been surprised. Any surprise would have come from her keeping it a secret needlessly.

But what’s ''not'' fine is that you had to keep this secret. If we had known sooner, we would’ve told her that it was okay and that she could ignore what all her classmates said. We could have talked to the school more, we could have helped her find a better place, we could have gone to the students and tell them that they should just go to dad directly instead of pestering Chloe...anything is better than this. We’re sorry; dad and I are so sorry that we made you think we’d hate your sister for not liking something. But Parker, what you did with the Unown was just like what your sister did with the paint can. It felt good to unleash that anger and wrath upon everyone but in the end, it wasn’t worth it, was it?

--> '''Parker:'''Chloe was everything to me. I don’t have lots of friends and I’m scared about my interests. But Chloe...she’s amazing and not afraid of what she likes. But everyone wants her to get into Pokémon, pushing her to do what ''they'' wanted. And Ash was ''so good'' at stealing people, taking them away from us…
--> '''Delia:'''Your father had a job. That was what he was doing, he wasn’t getting a replacement child. I’ve heard some talk of what was going on with Goh and Chloe, but Ash filling in a void for one of them was no excuse to hurt my son.
--> '''Parker: Why didn’t Dad do ''more'' for Chloe? Why did he break his promises to protect her?
--> '''Delia:'''Because your sister didn’t tell anyone anything.
--> '''Parker:'''She told me!
--> '''Delia:'''And you didn’t let your parents know your sister was suffering until she snapped and made everyone else suffer.” Delia sighed. “I was told you like playing games of what-if Parker, so tell me this. If you had told your parents that your sister was still being bullied, that she was feeling neglected, wouldn’t she still be here?
...
--> '''Delia (groaning):'''You are glossing over the simple thread that ties all of this together. The reason your parents didn’t know Chloe needed help, the reason you felt the need to go on a rampage, the reason that my ''son'' was made miserable even before your little fun with the Unown is because your sister ''lied'' about herself to everyone.
--> '''Parker:'''She had to! Because no one accepted her as she was. What was she supposed to say, ‘I’m Chloe Cerise and even though my dad is a professor I don’t like Pokémon?’ She’d be laughed at! She ''was'' laughed at!
--> '''Delia:'''Children can be the opposite of their parents. Just look at my own family: Ash can’t cook and I could probably list what he shares with his father other than looks on one hand and have a finger or two to spare. Your parents love her, and would accept her interests. I don’t think if she said ‘I’d rather do something unrelated to Pokemon’ they’d have been surprised. Any surprise would have come from her keeping it a secret needlessly.
--> '''Parker:'''But that would lead to them getting angry...That’s what happens when you say you’re different. People hate you.
--> '''Talia (taking a deep breath):'''Parker, just listen to me right now. We will ''always'' support your sister no matter what she does. If she doesn’t want to be like her dad, it’s fine. But what’s ''not'' fine is that you had to keep this secret. If we had known sooner, we would’ve told her that it was okay and that she could ignore what all her classmates said. We could have talked to the school more, we could have helped her find a better place, we could have gone to the students and tell them that they should just go to dad directly instead of pestering Chloe...anything is better than this. We’re sorry; dad and I are so sorry that we made you think we’d hate your sister for not liking something. But Parker, what you did with the Unown was just like what your sister did with the paint can. It felt good to unleash that anger and wrath upon everyone but in the end, it wasn’t worth it, was it?

'''Goh:''' You never try anything new! You keep making excuses and always run away instead of actually speaking up! Hell, I bet if it was you going after Lugia that day, you’d walk away and give up the minute it showed its face!\\
'''Chloe:''' I tried coming to your apartment in the past, but your grandma stated that you were always busy ‘searching for Mew’. And you don’t even notice I’m there except when I send you messages. You don’t even go to school any more; it seemed like your entire world was all about being fixated on screens and Pokémon and not on people!\\

'''Goh:''' Chasing my dreams, which is something you lack!\\
'''Chloe:''' You want a dream, well I have one! I have a dream that I run away from this place and go to a world where there's no such thing as Pokémon, where my dad isn't a researcher and I’m never asked by EVERYONE to follow his job or that I know how to battle. A world that you and I were always best friends and Mew never ever came to take you away. And a world where Ash Ketchum never existed in the first place. If I had that chance to stay in that world for as long as I live, I’d take it because ''I never want to see any of you ever again!''

'''Chloe:''' You want a dream, well I have one! I have a dream that I run away from this place and go to a world where there's no such thing as Pokémon, where my dad isn't a researcher and I’m never asked by EVERYONE to follow his job or that I know how to battle. A world that you and I were always best friends and Mew never ever came to take you away. And a world where Ash Ketchum never existed in the first place. If I had that chance to stay in that world for as long as I live, I’d take it because ''I never want to see any of you ever again!''

You all want to have the life of the girl who was never allowed to speak her mind, to be the girl who you all liked to call ‘Klutzy Chloe’ behind her back or make fun of whenever she had to read something or do an example of a math question on the whiteboard and then you want to be the girl who ran away from home because she felt like no one understood her and let her family worry about her when they found out she’s gone and all of her fellow classmates don’t even care if she got injured or died?\\
'''Sara:''' Uh...n...no?\\
'''Miss April:''' Then, who exactly do you want to be? I mean, you’re all so blessed that you’re all free to choose your own destinies without feeling like you’re confined to what everyone else asks of you. You all must have parents who truly love you and encourage you to be whatever you want to be! You all get to be home safe and sound and never have to feel like you have to run away from home to disappear completely and never be found. I’m sure your parents will be glad that their children were little angels that could never ever be mean to someone because they were...different.

Your father mentioned the possibility of us moving in the last email, and we have a place in mind. It’s in Pallet, where we can work with Professor Oak. But it’s not complete yet, and it turns out that there is one only one guest house in pallet Town and Ash’s mother owns it.\\
I just had a very...enlightening chat with her. The good news is that she’s agreed to house me and your father while we get situated in our new home if it comes to that.\\
Parker is a different story...and I think you might be as well.\\
As far as she’s concerned, you’re just a self-pitying runaway throwing a tantrum that the world didn’t give you everything you wanted on your exact terms, even though you never'' said ''what you wanted and rejected everything you were offered. And then you ran away after lighting matches so everything burned to the ground once you were far away, and then started demanding that'' we ''earn'' your ''forgiveness even after you started hurting everyone around you.\\
I...almost agree.\\
You wanted me to act as a parent to you, and to see you as who you are. Well, part of being a parent is acknowledging your child’s flaws and addressing them. Granted, there’s only so much I can do on this side of the Train. But I will tell you this: the long speeches, the sarcastic sniping, the passive aggressive ‘oh why didn’t you do this'' sooner’ ?\\

At least Gladion showed ''concern'' for you and did all he could to try and protect you even if he made very bad communication errors! But [[PunctuatedForEmphasis you. DID. NOT.

The second time is when Annie wants to pin the blame on the forest fire on Ash instead of the dangers that ''someone'' wanted to kill a dozen children in their tents and would only care about Chloe and everyone else so her daughter (who does a funerary flower business) would get noticed.
