Kimmy's bond with her Pokémon was strong. She had raised them from fragile babies into full-grown adults. The Trainer was like a mother to them. In return, her Pokémon pledged their undying loyalty. They appreciated her massages and tickling, and even gave her some of their own! The young woman and her teammates also often cuddled to keep warm at night. Truly, Kimmy and her Pokémon were friends.
