(You) get lost in thought, while a fulgurance graces you.
An harsh truth, maybe inspired from the heated debate on screen. Still the truth.

The reason that the most famous people are so powerful, (You) reasoned, was because their power allowed their rise.
Take Hoenn, for example. Steven Stone was said to be the strongest trainer of his generation. Any problems would make the mystery-seeker to appear, and solve the situation.
Then came Archie and Maxie. Undoubtedly strong. Individually, less than Champion Stone. Still, strong enough to only stop wrecking havoc in the region when they decided to.
There is something to say about their strategy : rising so many disciple, making them focus on the few same Pokémon allowed to create an army of high-threat goons.
Of course, their teams all share weakness. Weakness countered by the atypical strength of individual trainers : were they not outlaws, they could easily rack up 5 or 6 badges each. That does not even start to take into account sheer numbers.
The Champion couldn't defeat them. Didn't. Brendan did.
A single person, less than 17, Mawile'd his way through the region. Crunching every obstacle on the road, he stopped armies. A monster.
A monster that became an elite trainer, fighting other monster in worldwide sports tournaments. Making Hoennians proud.
Hoenn does not lack strong trainers after all. Him focusing on International scene, while Steven and gyms leader keep the occasional inside threat in check, makes the region wildly prosperous.
In the end, Brendan chose sports. He had no obligation to. No one could have stopped him becoming Hoenn's Kingpin if he wanted to. Yet he didn't, luckily for (You) and other people that grew in Hoenn.
>Might Oblige
Pokemon are not just tools but friends and partners. In particular, your team. Your partners.
They deserve the best. Not being mere leaves blown away by the winds of fate.
So does the people of this region. The unfairly spoiled of their right to catch and raise Pokemon. The one attacked by strange people. The struggling everyday man, such as Danny's uncle, David.
Times comes for the meal, which is silent with Matthew being the only effort at conversation - Danny needs to recover, you're still deep in thought.
