[ late at night, a message goes out on the PokéGear - ]do you think that if you try hard enough at something, then eventually you'll succeed at it? or are there some things that can't be achieved through just hard work? like, that there are somethings that people are just born good at, and that's something that can't be learned.

well, some people are just naturals at stuff. depends on how much you want to succeed, i guess.

i want to succeed at all costs!! ヽ(｀◇´)/

well
that might be a little bit extreme, actually... almost any cost, then?

text;

[cynicizing]

yeah, i'd be questioning your sanity if you were willing to do literally anything.

but i guess someone who's a natural or whatever will probably succeed at something more than someone who isn't. well, if they make use of their talent, anyway.

[attrites]

hmm... so you can't really compete with natural talent, basically (｀・ω・´)

text;

[cynicizing]

well, as long as they make use of their talent. even naturals gotta do some work.

text;

[attrites]

in that case, it's more like... natural talent is a head-start?

text;

[cynicizing]

kind of, i guess. unless they're like prodigies and don't even need to do anything, in which case they've probably won the race already.

don't think i've ever really met someone like that yet though.

[attrites]

yeah... i don't think i've ever met anybody on that level, either. although there are a lot of really, really talented people here in johto!

[cynicizing]

no shit, sherlock. i'd be a lot more surprised if no one here could do anything.

text;

[attrites]

hmm... that's probably true (｀・ω・´)

how 'bout you, is there anything you're especially good at?

text;

[cynicizing]

stuff here and there. you?

tennis

though there are still lots of people better than me

other than that, not really (｀・ω・´)”

text;

[cynicizing]

tennis seems to be pretty popular around here.

text;

[attrites]

that's cause there are a lot of people from my world here, i guess (｀・ω・´)”

text;

[cynicizing]

... what, is it the only sport in the world or something?

text;

[attrites]

well everybody i know from back home who are here now plays it...
