I'd like it if you're the one who plays the role of the traditional rival in Gen VIII, and you're the one who is constantly a step ahead of your loser friend, pushing his shit in and bullying him every single step of the way
You make it to the Pokemon League first, beat the old busted champion, become champion, get challenged by your rival and fucking obliterate his dreams right then and there, to the point that he abandons his dreams and becomes the professor for Gen IX
