I loved Bianca, although I never went easy on her, because I wanted so badly for her to want to be strong, instead of being satisfied with her level, because I knew she could be so much more.



I loved Cheren, because even though his goal was somewhere near laughable, he strove for it so passionately. He made me want to beat him every time after that first embarrassing loss right after we got our Pokemon. He made me want to keep going, just so I could watch him rise.
