You want to be the very best, but don't have what it takes? Give it to yourself. Give yourself the grit, the determination, get rid of all the distractions. Make yourself unable to do literally anything but improve as a trainer. Give yourself empathy for your pokemon, make yourself easier to bond with, more patient, become a protagonist. Obtain a pure soul, discard all doubts and baggage, all that bitterness and hatred that clings to you.
Tinker with your mind until the person you hate is gone, and your ideal self is born.
