"Ain't it scary? How you can have everything you wanted only to lose it next second?"
She asked the picture holding it in her hand.. Her fingers brushing over the portrait taken years ago in the memory...
"Girls don't mind being saved by their knight in shining armour but doesn't that apply on guys too.. Can't they expect a girl in shining armour to save them.. Who cares at all about other peoples because I really do want my girl to be a badass..."

Needless to say he lost, after a raging battle of 24 minuites and 38 seconds as Paul saw in his watch, his Elctrivire stood on top emerging victorious in the conflict sustaining some injuries standing over his charizard who was knocked on the ground cold with swirls in his eyes.. Paul looked around at the parking lot releasing a sigh of relief finding no serious damage on the area...
Ash silently leaned down to Charizard's level and returned him while sighing loudly.. Paul was different from all the trainers he battled till now. As for now there were three factors of why he lost...
Number one being, his charizard was tired. Number two he was overconfident. Number three, Paul was too powerful by any standard.. Paul's battling style was like..uhh...
If you are strong like him then you aren't fast like him, if you are fast like him then you aren't strong enough. And if you are both fast and strong like him then you aren't smart enough...
It was a three way problem just like a triangle.. You can't have the hypotenuse without the base or perpendicular... And for Paul he knew where to use what...
"Pathetic..
Ash clenched his fist.. Despite all of this , he wondered how he allowed himself to be this overconfident that he would charge right into his trap without seeing the outcome.. He loudly sighed and stood up meeting Paul's eyes.. How could he think he could beat Paul...
It was expected from what he heard about Paul. He hated weak peoples and pokemon, the most ruthless one among the golden 5.. But this battle, Ash considered it as his victory. He found out that the power difference was still there but not too much.. He could rise to that level...
And accepting a loss is the most important trait of a trainer.... Loss help you grow as a person.. Thus he closed his eyes and smiled..
" I am sorry to.."
"........is what i would have usually said.. I hate weak trainer and pokemon but you are as strong as advisor says you to be.." He said, the surprise in Ash's eyes was visible.. Paul recalled his pokemon back into his pokeball looking him tiredly..
"But i lost.. You are too strong by my standards.." They stood face to face looking into each others eyes. He looked into her dead eyes while Paul looked at his eyes showing questions in them.. Rather expected..
