"You never understand how strong you are until the only choice left is being strong..."

"What are you doing here?"
He wiped his face with towel walking toward the stands finding him sitting there holding a pokeball in his hand as if waiting for him... Paul wiped his face spinning the basketball over his fingers and sat few feets away from Ash for his well deserved rest after fucking up the other team's morale for half an hour... Calem can deal with rest...
"I decided to grace you with my cursed presence..."
"Get on the point... I don't have time for your childish talks..." Cutting off right to the point as always Paul looked at Ash with his usual bored eyes into his dead eyes...
"Marnie told me the conference will have something to do with me and you... Do you know what it is?" He asked.. For a moment Paul thought about it looking at Calem throwing the basketball halfway across the court while the students screamed at the halfcourt shot getting straight in the hoop...
"Goth girl? She didn't told me anything..." Paul's gaze landed onto his pokeball and then at the one on his belt... "So you got yourself your second pokemon.." He said.. Ash merely nodded his head looking at Calem running back to the opposite side of the court dribbling the ball.. In a decoy of throwing it to the court he passed it to the other guy who slammed it onto the basket with their score now ahead of the other school...
"An alolan ninetail..."
"Indeed a pathetic choice expected from you..." Ash took no offense to it knowing Paul clicking his tongue...
"If I had would get a penny for you saying pathetic then I would have been filthy rich... And it depends upon the trainer in the end... You can give Trip a legendary and he wouldn't even know how to use it... Other than calling others hillbilly I wonder if he does anything else..." Feeling a presence behind him, he ducked out of sheer instinct missing a foot aimed for his head.. In a split second he grabbed the leg cocking his head behind...
"I am right behind you two.." Trip complaint.. Both Ash and Paul decided to ignore his stupid presence focusing onto their talk...
"You heard something?" Ash asked Paul.
"Other than a bitchy sound desperate for attention... I doubt so... It is just in saying it depend on trainer.. It depends on pokemons... The stronger pokemon you have the higher chance you have to win.. End of the story. This ain't a movie where you would get boost of friendship everytime you are close to dying and have a flashback... It is real life.. The last one standing wins and only the strongest one can last to the end..." In Ash's eyes Paul was a trainer who focussed all on power and none on value of friendship and thing which was right... This wasn't a anime as he said..
