I cant lose. If I do, someone is going to die.
Ive never battled for such high stakes before, but I believe in my pokémon, and I believe in myself. No matter what he says, I wont let him win, because I I will be Champion!
I will!
Theyre both going to die. Theyre cursed, unnatural people not human, the rumors whisper, and looking at them, I can believe it! The two males are sleeping together? Appalling! Its an atrocity against nature!
Go, my Shiftry! Show them the error of their ways!
They send out pokémon of their own. Fools. I will win! I will triumph! They are but mere serpents! Before the power of might you will fall! Justice is on my side-!
No!
I cant!
It cant be !
There is no way such corrupt men could capture a pure pokémon! It must be a lie!
I wont lose! I wont!
Die, you perversions of nature! Hah! One is dead, now I shall kill the other! Use Crunch, Mightyena!
I am the Winner!
What ? They are not dead? They are they are undead? It must be. Use the Sunlight to destroy them, Magmar!
They laugh.
They laugh and laugh and laugh, and the sky boils with thunderclouds. Is one of their cursed pokémon controlling the weather?
It is impossible. This must be a nightmare
I pain? My chest? No. It cannot be. When was I injured? I remember nothing? Those fools must have used dark magic to achieve this. Ill not die! Ill not lose! Ill-!
Lance stared at the corpse contemptuously.
Another religious fanatic trying to kill us, ne? Red asked, brushing hair out of his blood-red eyes.
Yes.
I wish they would quit bothering us. Ever since we made our relationship public, theyve been like swarming vultures.
True, Lance replied, But at least we have each other.
That makes it worthwhile.
