>>42664667>She was so convinced of her superiority because she's the top gym leader and cousin of the champion that she has no idea what to do with herself when a literally-who kid comes in and upstages her.She's very proud, that's one half of it. The other is that she's characterized as kinda insecure. She very much lives in her cousin's shadow. You can see her bitchout as not only being frustrated that she lost to a kid but also refusing to believe said kid could be a challenge for Lance, the one person she could never defeat. She accepts you once you cross that extra hurdle and conquer the Indigo League.
Whitney, well, she cries at a loss because that's the cute thing to do.
