>>34307033No, its not directly stated. We only have a vague quote to go by and it can be interpreted a number of ways.
>“If there was a trainer like you in my world things would be different”. That doesnt necessarily imply Red didnt take on Rocket and lose, any more than it implies he fucked off and took up another hobby. If Red failed to invade Silph, Giovannis plan would still remain unaffected.
Therefore it still logically stands, there wasnt a trainer like you in his world.
