@Pokenavs I either need to match his speed or counter it. I can think of a few strategies surrounding either—give him something to compete with, or something he can’t beat down fast enough…
@Pokenavs My memory’s sharp, but... maybe not that sharp. Gallade should be a good Probopass check, but... I can’t rely on one Pokémon. I’ll do as you suggest.
Watson is... crafty. I did challenge him once. I was humbled.
@Pokenavs Ah, that makes sense. I can relate to Gallade… well, if ever he’s feeling antsy, he’s welcome to spar with my own Gallade. Or any of my team.
@Pokenavs Mm. And you should chase those passions. And Gallade… you would think a Pokémon with split evolutions would be understanding of how difficult it is to choose one of multiple paths.
@Pokenavs Fortunately, I’ve already made progress on that. I’ll make visits to cities for gym battles, giving Liza time to run the gym by herself.
It’s always a shame when I hear about battlers retiring. Especially ones like you, who carry with them a world of potential.
@Pokenavs Well, we both want to grow. But for once, we have different paths set before us to do so. She wants to prove she can run the gym on her own, and I want to take a “swing” at the League. There’s a vacancy in the Elite Four, after all.
@Pokenavs I’d be happy to. I’ll try to not get my hopes too high up, as well, but… a museum is an exciting prospect.
We’ve actually been thinking of leaving the gym to just one of us, while the other takes their ambitions elsewhere.
@Pokenavs I haven’t seen Roxanne since the last League gathering... Solrock misses her, and Liza has been eager to have another battle with her… well, with everyone. We may be outgrowing the Gym…
Is that so? Enough to consider residing there, someday, maybe?
@Pokenavs Wally, *hug*, it’s good to see you. Life has been much like the oceans crashing on Mossdeep’s shore… Er. Consistent, but beautiful. How about you?
