[Basil had been coming by fairly frequently during the time Gladion was a fern. There wasn't much he could do other than offer advice and check up on his condition, but he did those things regularly regardless. Plus, he wanted to be supportive for Ingo and Emmet however he could. Thus...helping. And of course, Basil encountered...the "orb" that was Gladion during the Flatwoods incident. The Plorb, if you will.
He hadn't heard about his condition since then though...so when he receives a message from him (!!!), Basil is sure to respond as soon as he sees it.]
Oh, Gladion! I'm so happy to hear from you...how are you feeling? Are you doing okay?
[Then, a brief moment later:]
Of course. I was worried when I saw what had happened...so I wanted to try to help if there was anything I could do.
