How long had it been since you'd gotten your Iron Valiant? You couldn't recall.

All you could remember is that you two were closer than anything.

Nearly every fainting hit, although they were uncommon, it toughed out, and always hits critical hits for praise.

You had no problem with Iron Valiant, it was the best pokémon you could ask for.

It had been a hard fight, and after a critical hit that shouldn't have fainted Iron Valiant normally, it had gone down.

You'd won after that hurdle, but you still felt bad.

You got your camping stuff out, and had Iron Valiant draped over your lap, bag at your side as you decided what to do.
