[Cilan's rather quiet while Red's talking, but when Red turns back around away from the sink, he'll find that Cilan has temporarily set aside peeling the rest of these apples, reaching out so that he can check Red's hand now.
But, what he says isn't anything to do with Red's hand as he looks the injury over--]
There's nothing wrong with simply wanting to be a great trainer, Red. In your case, I'd even say that it's a goal that you've done an excellent job of keeping up with--not only have you and your Pokemon proven themselves capable enough to obtain the title of Pokemon Champion, but you've done your very best to complete the Pokedex on behalf of Professor Oak, and thus helping another to try to make their dream come true... it's a sweet and heartwarming taste.
[And then, he suddenly begins to sparkle again as he looks up and offers a bright smile.]
Also, you have good taste when it comes to interests: not only does fishing provide a means of relaxation on a warm sunny day, but there's also the exciting flavor of energy and passion that you experience through a chance meeting between the two worlds of land and water... so, even if it's only a hobby, I say that it's one that's worth continuing with here. [A pause, as he considers something] Granted, some of the fish living in the lake are a little stale in comparison to what we're used to, but they do make for good practice and maintaining one's fishing skills all the same...
[...Yes, he's also a connoisseur of fishing too, in case you're wondering...]
