No it won't. Putting yourself at risk for nothing isn't going to do you any good. What's the best thing you could possibly get out of this? Terrorizing the city, correct? You've done that. You don't need to stick around to make sure that's accomplished. When there are other opportunities with greater rewards - and there will be - of course I'll let you fight. I won't interfere.
[That's... not something he's really sure about, to be honest. He's never considered that what he's doing is imprisoning Kimblee. He's just trying to keep him safe. That's not the same thing at all, right?]
You can change plenty without risking your life, Kimblee. We've changed Team Rocket since we've been here. We've made this organization a legitimate threat. You haven't had to risk your life for that.
But I understand where you're coming from. You want to do more. I never said I wanted to keep you caged here. I've been good to you - you've said so yourself. I don't want to lose you to something that could be prevented, or even worse, to something that has absolutely no gain for us. You're... very important to me, Kimblee. Neither of us are accustomed to the idea of give-and-take when it comes to relationships like this and it will take time for us to reach a perfect balance. I understand that what you want is to fight and I... know I need to let you have more free reign. But you have to understand that what I want is your safety.
[There's a brief pause while Archer tries to find a way to word what he's trying to say.]
...I would rather spend the rest of my time here in Johto with you in Mahogany Town in complete safety than constantly worry about you. I understand that you would much rather fight. I have been trying to let you have what you want within reason.
[He's still not articulating the point properly which frustrates him. Archer can't find a way to describe it though; he cares deeply about Kimblee and would prefer to see him stay alive, even though death isn't permanent here. It would be a waste to have him outed here and now.]
