To say you were under-leveled to fight against Red would have been an understatement. You have seen firsthand what his team is capable of.

Now you're supposed to go up to him and ask to battle? How ridiculous. Unless you want to get utterly destroyed, it was best to retire for the night and train tomorrow.

That was.. Until you forgot the first rule of being a Trainer. Never make eye-contact with your opponent unless you intend to battle.

Trainer Red has locked eyes with you.
