Minds Made Up

Phew... I've been thoroughly defeated. What a grand battle that was!

I used every bit of strength I could muster, but it still wasn't enough... Sounds like it's high time for some more training!

Wow, Scottie. You've really come a long way, haven't you.

And you're only getting stronger... You remind me of Red and Blue when they first beat me.

Ho ho ho!

Wh-what's so funny all of a sudden?!

It sounds to me like that battle's left you aching for something in the past. You've got something on your mind...about your journey here.

L-listen...I...

Hush, hush. You don't have to say it out loud... We both know that battling against Scottie is a thrill!

Whatever you decide to do, it's your choice. Just don't hold yourself back! That's never a good choice.

... ... ...

Well then! Now that you've acquired your last badge, you'll be heading back to Centra City, I'd wager?

I shall accompany you. I'm overdue for a taste of the city air.

W-wait! You're coming with us?! Can...can you and me walk and talk together on our way back?!

Why, of course! I would like nothing better! It's a long walk back, so I hope to hear lots of your stories.

Uh... Say, Scottie...I just remembered I've got this thing I need to do...

You guys go on ahead! I'll meet you back in Centra City later.

I see... It looks like he's made up his mind, then.

Huh? Made up his mind for what?

Well, it will be interesting to see how all of this plays out... Hee hee.
