For example, remember when Bianca was on the ferris wheel city? She lost to Elesa. You might have not noticed, but as soon as she got out of the gym, I could feel how sad she was. And then her father started screaming at her about what a failure she was and all that. Elesa seemed very upset, but I was fumming. I threw my pokeball at him, and captured him.
1,2 - Gah! So close!
He left the pokeball and started screaming again. I threw it again.
1,2,3. Gotcha!
I approached Bianca, and gave her the pokeball and said: " Some are beyond salvation, when that happens you need to release them, or they'll just be a waste of space."
Elesa nodded, Bianca cried. She threw the Pokeball away.
You might be wondering, "well, Hop would have given you a TM, or his brother's poster!"
He would've. But so what?
I don't gifts. I want true friendships!! You know what Bianca said to me that day?
"One day, I'll give a pokemon that won't be a waste of space"
And she did. It was a Oshawoott. And I'll always treasure it.
"Hop gave charmamder too!"
Nope, Leon accidently left it in Hop's room.
Hope you understand that real memories with real friends (bianca), will always be better than small talk with "rivals" (hop).
