Troubled Trainers

... ... ...

And why would you come to a lonely odd place like this?

It looks like something's bothering you.

Yeah, I guess...

I see. In that case, let's make a little bet.

Excuse me?

Here's how it'll work: I'll take the three of you to a certain location.

If that takes care of what's bothering you, then I win the bet.

And if it doesn't, then you win.

No pressure or anything. It's up to you whether you take the bet or not. So whaddya say?

How could you even make that bet without knowing what's bothering us?

Well that'd be too easy, wouldn't it?

So, will you take the bet?

... ... ...

Hey, look! Some new Trainers have come!

Haha! It's just like Grimsley said!

Wh-what is this?!

Sorry to keep you waiting, everyone! I got lost on my way here!

Now, it's Champion time!

Leon...did you just come out of the ocean?

H-huh?

All right! Now it's time for a battle! Here we go!

Wh-what is happening?!

We're hopeless. We never stood a chance...

Aaaahhh! I knew it. There's no way we can ever be strong Trainers like all of you.

Wow. You're just a ray of sunshine, eh?

Huh?

Instead of trying to be like someone else, you should try to be someone only YOU can be.

I think you'd have a lot more fun if you did!

That's right. It's important to learn the differences between yourself and others...

and sometimes this means you may get hurt...

But being different is OK!

I can see things that other people can't see.

I'm different...and sometimes that means people are afraid of me.

But thanks to who I am, I get along great with ghost Pokémon. I'm really glad that I'm different!

My little bro always used to say, "I want to be just like you, Lee!"

But the two of us are really different people. After lots of frustration, he finally found his own path.

That's why he's doing so brilliantly now.

There's nothing at all wrong with being different!

I have two younger twin sisters.

Even though they like the same Pokémon, there are still some differences.

But knowing what makes you or others different can be a lot of fun!

Even when people seem to be alike, everyone's always got something unique about them.

Just like no two clouds in the sky are exactly the same.

Yes, the sky...

I hope the sun is shining tomorrow... That would be reason enough to smile.

If trying to live elegantly is too exhausting, why not try being more carefree?

Heheh...

It looks like Grimsley won the bet.

Thanks so much, everyone.

I'm gonna keep trying, together with my Pokémon!

See ya 'round!

Just keep meeting lots of different people and Pokémon, and I know you'll have a blast!
