OKAY DO YOU SEE THIS SCENE RIGHT HERE BECAUSE THIS SCENE IS SO IMPORTANT TO ME LIKE
THIS GIRL DID NOT EVEN WANT TO BECOME A POKEMON TRAINER SHE WANTED NOTHING TO DO WITH POKEMON SHE JUST WANTED TO SIGHT SEE BUT THEN SHE REALIZED HOW GREAT POKEMON WERE AND FOUND CONTESTS AND THIS BRAT RIGHT HERE PUSHED HER TO GROW
AND NOW LOOK AT HER SHE’S GROWN SO MUCH THE SHAKING GIRL WHO FELL AT HER FIRST CONTEST IS GONE AND SHE ACTUALLY COULD BEAT HIM AND HE WOULD HAVE SCOFFED BEFORE AT CALLING HER A WORTHY OPPONENT BUT NOW HE CONSIDERS HIMSELF HONORED THAT SHE THINKS OF HIM AS HER RIVAL
SHE’S HERE SAYING THAT SHE WANTS TO DO WHAT HE DOES AND FIND HER OWN STYLE LIKE HE IS CONTINUING TO INFLUENCE HER AND HE KNOWS IT AND SHE WILL EVEN GO TO JOHTO BECAUSE THAT IS HOW ESSENTIAL HIS RIVALRY IS TO HER AS A COORDINATOR AND HOW ESSENTIAL HE IS TO HER AS A PERSON AS SHE CONTINUES TO GROW
AND SHE IS SAYING SHE WOULD BE WILLING TO GIVE UP TRAVELING THE WORLD FOR THAT, THE ONE AND ONLY REASON SHE HAD FOR JUSTIFYING THAT GOING ON A JOURNEY IN THE FIRST PLACE WAS WORTH IT DESPITE HATING POKEMON
AND HE JUST FUCKING STARES AT HER WITH THAT LOOK ON HIS FACE AND IT JUST HITS HIM ALL AT ONCE HE’S FUCKING HEAD OVER HEELS FOR THIS STUPID GIRL HE HAS LITERALLY WATCHED HER GROW AS A COORDINATOR FROM HER FIRST CONTEST AND HE COULD NOT BE MORE HAPPY THAT SHE IS HIS RIVAL AND THAT HE HAS THIS GIRL IN HIS LIFE BECAUSE YOU KNOW WHAT? SHE’S HELPED HIM GROW AS A COORDINATOR AND PERSON AS WELL
HE WANTS THIS GIRL TO COME TO JOHTO WITH HIM BECAUSE HE NEEDS HER TOO
