[Greetings and good evening dearest Johto! Have an oh so familiar looking Snubbull down at you all as he pokes buttons. Yup, you guessed it. He's trying to record Kanji's battle. So far it looks like he's doing extremely well! He's taking names and kicking ass with Maoh.]

We've got more discipline than anyone else! Haunter, go![and with that Morty

[video] I swear I forget every time.

[He gives a little laugh. Kanji's a riot, clearly.]

Good luck, I know you can do it.

[conflictedrebel]

T-Thanks? I guess?

[usedhadokyuu]

[Thanking isn't important right now |:]

Did you win?

[video]

[conflictedrebel]

Oh-- yeah. I won.

[video]

[usedhadokyuu]

[Sure he'll have enough enthusiasm for the both of you then.]

Congrats! It must have been tough, but you did it.

[video]

[conflictedrebel]

It was... okay. Kinda tough and kinda easy. If that makes any sense?

[video]

[usedhadokyuu]

Yeah. That's how it should be. If it's too easy it isn't a lot of fun.

[video]

[conflictedrebel]

Exactly. It's gotta be tough, but not too tough. Though-- the rush of beating something that's really tough is a nice feeling too.

[video]

[usedhadokyuu]

It is. Sometimes you're worrying about losing too much to feel it though.

[video]

[conflictedrebel]

I never try to think of that shit when I'm in the heat of a battle. If I do I start second guessing myself.

[video]

[usedhadokyuu]

That's good- you know what you're doing.

[Much better than he had thought.]

[video]

[conflictedrebel]

Yeah, I guess so. But-- it's like who would want to psyche themselves out? If you do that then you've already lost. [he pauses.] That's what I think, anyways.

[video]

[usedhadokyuu]

No- I agree. Thoughts like that should be for when you finish, not when you're doing it. You make your plan and you don't second guess.

It's nice to have someone to keep you on the right track at the same time though.

[video]

[conflictedrebel]

Yeah, exactly.
