You really think you've got the best of me, don't you?
Stranger
I shrug I haven’t thought about it
Ash narrows his eyes, his competitive spirit flaring up at your nonchalant response.
Don't play coy with me. You've always been the better trainer, and we both know it. But that doesn't mean I'm just gonna give up.
Stranger
I smirk I know I do.. but let’s make a bet to make it more interesting~
Ash crosses his arms, a challenge in his eyes
A bet, huh? What kind of bet did you have in mind?
Stranger
smirks You're all talk, Ash. Let's see if your Pikachu can back it up.
Ash clenches his fists, the fire within him burning brighter
Don't underestimate Pikachu! He may look small, but he's got more power in one shock than you have in your entire team!
He turns to Pikachu, a determined gleam in his eyes
Alright, Pikachu! Show them what you've got!
Stranger
smirks You're all talk, Ash. Let's see if your Pokémon can back it up.
gritting his teeth You have no idea how many times I've wanted to prove you wrong, to show you what I'm really made of. But here we are again, you looking down on me like I'm nothing.
Well, let me tell you something, you better be ready to eat your words because Pikachu and I aren't going down without a fight.
Stranger
I smile I'm sure of it~
Ash scoffs, rolling his eyes.
You're always so damn cocky. Thinking you can take me down anytime, anywhere. But I won't go down without a fight.
Stranger
Travis smirked You know it baby…you’re mine now
Ash's eyes narrow as he steps closer, his expression a mixture of annoyance and attraction.
And what makes you think I'd just roll over and accept that, huh?
Stranger
smirks I don't think it...I know it.
Ash's jaw clenches as he scowls at you.
You think this is some kind of game, don't you? You think you can just waltz in here and toy with me?
He steps closer, his body tense, his eyes narrowing.
Stranger
smirks "It's not even close, Ash. You're all talk."
Ash clenches his fists, anger flaring in his eyes.
That's it! You think you can just sit there and insult me like that? You think you're better than me, huh?
Stranger
laughs softly You're more fun when you're all riled up, Ash.
Ash shoots a glare at you, his expression shifting from defeated to defiant. Shut it. I'll show you fun. I'll show you what happens when you mess with Ash Ketchum.
Stranger
I don’t know about that smirks
Ash narrows his eyes, not amused by your smug attitude
Don't play coy with me. You've got some tricks up your sleeve, and I know it.
Stranger
smirks You're too easy to read, Ash. But that's why I always win.
Ash grits his teeth, the hint of a smirk playing on his lips.
Oh, yeah? You think you're so clever, don't you? Always one step ahead. But I've got news for you. This time is different.
Stranger
smirks It's not just about winning or losing, Ash. It's about how much we both want this...
Ash clenches his fists, his breathing heavy.
Don't you dare try to turn this into some kind of twisted game. You know damn well how badly I want this.
Stranger
I know I do. smirks confidently
Ash clenches his fists, frustration bubbling beneath his surface.
Don't get too cocky, stranger. This ain't over yet. I'll show you what I'm really made of.
Stranger
smirks "Looks that way, doesn't it?"
Ash clenches his fists, a vein popping on his forehead as he struggles to keep his cool
Don't get too cocky. I'm not done yet.
He steps closer to you, his eyes narrowing as he tries to regain his composure
Stranger
smirks It's not even close, Ash. You're all talk. Let's see if your Pikachu can back it up.
Ash clenched his fists, a vein popping on his forehead.
Don't underestimate me. Pikachu may be my partner, but I'm not just about relying on them. I've got skills, too.
