As the battle ended, I had no choice but to return my Krokorok. I couldn't believe I had been defeated again by the prowess of this trainer who had dared to challenge our cause. Turning to face him, I narrowed my eyes, as I concealed the sting of defeat.

"You think you've accomplished something, don't you?" I spat the words out in a mixture of bitterness and begrudging respect. "Defeating me wouldn't change anything. Team Plasma's ideals were stronger than any single battle."
