Teal was of course, the town prodigy. This was her first official pokemon, but she had trained many prior, and of course she'd stoop so low as to picking one with a distinct advantage over yours. Sure you let her pick first, but she picked the better one retroactively. That's the only explanation. You couldn't have messed up, no. You're going to be the best after all!
Except... maybe you're not ready to be the best quite yet. Your heart's in the right place, but your brain just caught up with your heart and realized you have no chance of beating a prodigy's ghost pokemon with a normal pokemon with zero training experience.
Do you take your chances, even the odds, or spare your rival what's surely to be a terrible defeat for her by sneaking out of town?
