Listen, Brendan. You're a pretty strong kid, you know that?
>Y-yeah, sure

>Four, actually. My dad is the-
Ohh yeah, old Norman.
Well listen here, Brendan. Beating your old man in a battle ain't no easy feat. Your... Your mind will wrap your head around beating a father figure, and that's kinda messed up, right?
>I-I don't really-
Hey I get it. When I was a kid, my dad asked ME to fight him. Mind you, this was without pokemon back then, just classic Mano y mano.
>Oh gosh
At first I was like "Dad? What are we doing dad?" and then BAM. Got knocked over the head. It was a lesson, Brendan. It shocked me. At that moment he didn't look like my father, but some... stranger. I learned that you can't pull any punches, Brendan. So I run up to him and I-HEY! HEY MAY! THROW THE POKEBALL AT THE POKEMON! YOU'RE NOT TRYING TO CATCH THE TREES, MAY!
Sorry, Brendan. So what I mean is, don't think of it as your dad but some random schmoe off the street and you'll be able to kick his ass no problem. OK?
>Uh... OK.
Good. Now go eat lunch.
