>>21165106You know, Satoshi... I don't regret having being so long in Team Rocket. It helped me to see things from the dark side of the moon. The side often people try to run away from at the first glance, the side parents tell their children not to be. The side where, even if you achieve your goal, you feel empty inside. Why? Because that means to submit two friends to the anguish of not being next anymore, not supporting each other and being restless wondering if their friend is okay or not.
Being rich is some nasty tradeoff. Maybe your life can be more comfortable, but in the end you feel like you're in a cage, with all your family expecting you to make the family prestige and wealth growing and growing. Does it worth living that way?
From my childhood I realized adventure was what I've born for. To really enjoy every sunset, every sunrise like a free bird would, to spread the wings and fly where the wind goes.
Team Rocket frightened people, but what would be a world in complete peace? It would be a routine. People would cage themselves in what they do everyday, day in and day out until the same ones that they served for so long throw them to the garbage like a discarded tissue.
Now Team Rocket is no more for me. I've learned from them that nobody is bad from the heart, they only search a place to belong. A place where they can share their skills and life experiences with others. I can tell you, my life's greatest moments were with Jessie and Meowth. Even you bested us over and over, my memories of that episode of my life are the best that could happen to me.
Now, that I am the champion, I'd like you to see me more than a rival, as someone with a story, as you have yours. Now, to battle!
