Default trainer battle time! Susumu was dragged off into this weird room that hardly had any lights lit in it at all. Blinking as he looked around in confusion, loud music burst into his ears and nearly made him yelp in surprise. "G-God damn...!" His heart was beating fast at the 8-bit music that decided to come out of nowhere, thinking that this battle room was some kind of joke. Lights turned on one by one, revealing the battle arena as he stood on his side of the field. Someone was messing with him, he knew that much. There wasn't anyone in sight other than the referee, who had a snide look on his face the entire time. He must've been the culprit.
"Seriously? Dude!" Susumu complained with a huff, debating whether it would be ok to attack the referee before the battle with whatever item was lurking in the room. Instead he was greeted with a red card, which the referee freely waved around in the air. "Challengers! Send out your Pokemon!" The referee shouted, acting as if there was another trainer in the room already. "B-But--" Susumu tried to protest, but the referee growled and pointed at the place where the other trainer was supposed to enter. "Disapproval, trainer 1! Trainer 2 gets the first move!"
'Oh FML.' Susumu sighed and stopped talking to this guy, because he was clearly being a jerk about the entire thing. He submissively sent out his first two Pokemon, who looked confused as the loud music continued to play in the background. At least it was turned down a bit to allow everyone else to talk and hear commands. It was generally an odd way to start out a battle, but it was a battle.

Slowly, everyone was revealed under the light: The referee and the challenger. Double Battle? Good enough for him. Tristan seemed calm, as he was getting used to battling so often in the battle arena. What really got into his mind was what kind of opponent he would face. What kind of pokemon would he use? When he stepped in, it was.....Shamu? Well, there goes the possibility of a new opponent. Just as he got into his area, he noticed the little scene going on and smirked. The wonders of schadenfreude, right?
Anyway, the battle. Tristan needed to use his main team. So he quickly sent out Shina, his sandshrew, and Hunter, his starly. Shina, he started to get on better terms with, thankfully. But how long will that hold? Hunter, however, was still as timid as ever. How will he fare? "My move? Alright, cool...." Hopefully that same scenario that happened to Shamu doesn't happen to him. "Hunter! Show off your stuff with a growl on both then a wing attack on the caterpie!" The words seemed to have rung inside of Hunter, as he started to shake and quiver. It seemed as though he was scared of Tristan. Even if Tristan didn't give that command very loud, it was loud to Hunter. With that, he gave a very meek growl attack before bring himself into the air. He let gravity carry him over as he gave the caterpie a wing on the head.
<Well good job, Tristan. Now the little darling is scared.> Shina said, looking through her claws for anything bad. Joy now that his own sandshrew is criticizing him. "well....Ugh...Shina, just sand attack and scratch." Honestly he didn't want to deal with it. He put his palm on his face as Shina got up and threw sand at her opponents. Then she approached the spinda and attacked with a scratch attack. Nothing special. |

Looking at his new opponent on the field, Susumu realized that he actually fought this guy before. He knew next to nothing about him save for his name, but it didn't stop him from giving the guy a weak smile from his side of the field. Last time they battled, he was pretty sure that he used his Caterpie that time. The Pokemon Tristan used now weren't ones he recognized, so this was going to keep him on his toes. To be expected, Sho was the main target first.
"Can't dodge it?" Susumu asked, wincing when he saw Sho get bombarded with the Starly's wings. It also didn't help with that growl hindering both of them, making it harder to lead an offensive strike. Spin-Bro managed to get sand in his eyes as well, yelping from the scratch that caught him by surprise when he was still dealing with that gross sand. <This is some rough seduction!> Spin-Bro wasn't really into the dominatrix kind of thing unless they had some kind of safe word, which they clearly didn't have here.
Sho was silent as always, but his condition looked pretty poor. Flying type moves were absolutely brutal against him, and if he took another Wing Attack then his battling turns were nearly over for this match. That meant that it was time to get that Starly. "Swords Dance! Both of you, Tackle the Starly." Susumu didn't have much of a choice if he wanted to keep both Pokemon on the field. Sho vibrantly danced around, parading his dark coloration with a prideful snort as his fighting spirit went back up. A little growl wasn't about to bring him down!
<We sure this Starly isn't a chick?> Spin-Bro was caught off guard by that meek, cute nature of his. Hunter was definitely a trap though, in every form of the word to the little panda. Must destroy. The two Pokemon obeyed and ganged up on him, with Sho leading the charge since he was more motivated to kick some butt. "hm." The blonde had to pause for a moment, catching something odd about how Tristian's attitude changed so suddenly. What was with the Pokemon discrimination? He gave the other trainer an odd look, before deciding to keep an eye out to see if he'd keep doing it. ooc; sand attack only hits one foe~

"Hunter! You alright?" He said, hoping that he hasn't fainted, yet. The little bird struggled to get up, feeling the pain of both tackles. Shina, though not likely to help someone, walked over and helped the bird up. <Geez, you alright? Hope you are cuz we got a battle to finish!" She then faced the spinda, trying to him correctly. <Seduction? Hah, that's not me. That's Dina. You're too much of a peon for me. Too unintelligent.> Shina just faced the spinda, ready to take it on.
Tristan, however, did not want to see that happen, as he needed Shina to take on the caterpie. Before he could give the command, Shina struck with another sand attack, followed by a night slash attack on the spinda. That was going to be a hassle. What now? He looked back at Hunter, still unsure of what he should do. What choice did he have left? Tristan groan in annoyance as his basic strategy failed"Hunter, use quick attack on the spinda! Then follow up with a growl!" Hunter, being meek, just meekly traveled towards the spinda before growling again. "COme on Hunter! What's the matter?" He said, Hunter shaking in response. |

From what Susumu could remember, the Starly had the nickname 'Hunter', which really stuck out when the Starly looked bruised up on the field. Tristian seemed worried, making Susumu feel a bit guilty about his initial strikes. "Is he new to battling?" He asked, wondering what was causing the problem. His level also could've been low, but it hit Sho pretty hard when it had the muse to do it. Left at a loss on what was morally right, the trainer awkwardly stood there and waited to see what would happen.
At least the Sandshrew had enough of a heart, helping the Starly up with a kind gesture. Spin-bro even felt tempted to do it, but Shina's intense aura frightened him off from going near her. Something about her personality made him feel as if he was only going to be attacked, which he sort of enjoyed. <Baby, I love it when you talk me down.> She might be insulting him, but he would only be here with flattering and kind words for her delicate ears. With the way she was looking at him, he felt like she was taking him seriously. Now that was something he liked.
Bombarded with another Sand Attack and Growl, Spin-Bro was getting annoyed with all of these status moves as he whimpered from the pain in his eyes. <Let me look at you, baby!> He whined, getting knocked back by a speedy Quick Attack out of nowhere. Then the Night Slash came, striking him on the opposing side with her dark claws. It left a wound he wasn't bound to forget anytime soon, and he knew it so well that he could copy it right this second! "Copycat and Swords Dance." Seeing the move in motion was more than enough for Susumu, and soon his Spinda was using a strong Night Slash of his own on the Sandshew. Sho danced about and boosted his stats; relentless on the weakened Starly that attacked him so brutally. Without much warning, the shadow Caterpie bolted towards the bird with another Tackle attack. Pretty mean, considering how he was having so much trouble earlier.

When the tackle attack hit him, he was pushed back, barely standing. He was panting heavily, exhausted, and just wanted to fall over. And yet, if he did, what will his trainer say? "Focus. Keep your cool and trust me. You'll do just fine." Those words sounded familiar to Hunter. As if he had heard it somewhere. That's right, route 2, where he defeated that wooper! And he was successful! Hunter, suddenly flowing with confidence, got himself flying up in the air, ready to take on the caterpie and the spinda.
Only to fall back down onto the ground, fainted and unmoving. Tristan returned him to his pokeball and thanked him. "You tried.....it worked, somewhat, at least." He looked back at Shamu and nodded at his question, proving that Hunter was still inexperienced in battle. "Ya....he needs to improve still." Back to the battle on hand, Shina seemed to be doing pretty well. She still kept up pretty well, but how well is still unsure.
Shina was suddenly struck by her own attack, used by the spinda. That was pretty low, even for him. <I already told you I'm not into you. But to think you're not intelligent enough to use one of your own attacks? Come here!> She said, angrily attacking the spinda with a poison sting. She stood back, looking at her own opponents before attacking with a sand attack on the caterpie. Hopefully the accuracy reducers will help her out. |

It was a shame seeing Hunter fight so hard in his battles to have nothing good come out of it. Susumu could only look on awkwardly in the background, showing some concern at Trisian's lax sounding reply. The way this guy talked was sort of odd, but it seemed to work for his Pokémon. It comforted the weak-hearted Starly enough to make it at least try to use another attack. He sometimes wondered if he had that effect on his own Pokemon, looking at their behinds as the Spinda panted from his battle wounds. Sho was looking a little better since no one was really damaging him, but they were both pretty injured so far.
"He'll get there." Susumu was sort of sure about that, crossing his arms as he thought about the Starly a little more. It seemed so motivated to get stronger, which made him wonder about the reasons for wanting that strength. What gave birth to that kind of motivation? It was now a two versus one battle, and luckily it wasn't him with the disadvantage this time. <Hehe, who said you owned that attack babe?> The Spinda winked at her, holding a paw out as if he was ready to grab her paw for a romantic gesture. <It's not a well-known fact, but the guy that invented the NIGHT SLASH taught it to me.> He winked at her, hoping to impress her until she fired a wave of Poison Sting in his face. His freaking face! He yelped as he backed off, furiously swiping them off of him as poison seeped into his body.
Sho got a little bit of sand in his eyes as well, but he merely sneezed at the move. It didn't bother him as much as it could've, especially when Spin-Bro was whining like a baby about being hurt. <My faaace! Why did you do that? That hurrrt! It hurts! Don't reject me! My heart longs for you!> The Spinda was frantically running around in circles, tears forming pathetically in the corner of his eyes from his Uproar's emotional outburst. "That works, I guess. Hey Sho, go for another Tackle. Hold the tears." He kidded, but it wasn't something that could provoke a smile from the bug. Sho simply charged after the Sandshrew with a wince, finding it a bit more difficult to keep his eyes completely open. { Spin-Bro } Spinda Level 14 - Male Own Tempo - Tangled Feet Tackle||Uproar||Assist||Copycat Perverted - Sneaky - Cupid Hit by Poison Sting!

I believe he can make it." Tristan said, trying to sound confident in the starly's abilities. He knew that the Pokémon had the capabilities to be a great Pokémon and a strong staraptor someday. The problem with it is when he'll get there and if he'll get there soon enough. He sighed, wondering if he can bring the starly up. Sure, he was able to bring confidence to him, but how long it will last is still hard to tell. He looked back at Shamu, who was just as confused as he is about raising the starly. Maybe he has some tips. "You think you can help me with this starly?....." It was sort of awkward, asking another trainer to help raise his own Pokémon. But then again, it could be a good learning experience. "Maybe you have something I can use or something." Wow, such a smooth talker, Tristan was.
Shina was having quite an issue, for she had to face two pokemon, not one. Though it was a good thing the spinda was so temperamental, coupled with the multiple sand attacks, that his attack missed most of her. The issue was the caterpie that struck Shina from behind, causing her to yelp in pain. Her shell managed to blunt much of the attack, but the swords dance boost was apparent when the force reached past her shell. "Keep yourself defended! Use defense curl!" Shina jumped, curling into a ball and rolling along the ground. "Now keep your guard up and ready for any upcoming attacks!" |

Hm. If this Sandshew kept dodging everything that they did, then this was going to be a problem. Susumu glanced over at Sho and Spin-Bro, wondering what his options were. They could probably manage to take out this Sandshrew, but with Spin-Bro poisoned and weakened this definitely was not looking good. They were going to have to milk out his usefulness while they could before the Spinda went down to the ticking timer of the toxins in his body. It could've been a worse attack, like Toxic, but this still sucked. "You want another battle with Hunter, you mean?" Susumu wasn't sure what Tristan was getting at, but it sounded like he was being a mooch.
If the guy wanted to have an extra battle, then he was more than willing to comply. They'd just have to heal that Starly, and Susumu would have to find another Pokemon that would be willing to battle. Or heal one of these two for a single battle. It would work out somehow. "There's a healing machine in here that you can use." Susumu gave the guy the benefit of the doubt, thinking that he wasn't asking for stuff from him and instead just wanted help generally.
This was all a minor distraction from the battle at hand, but he figured that they'd be ok. "Sho, try and help Spin-Bro with a String Shot." That ought to make it harder for her to dodge things, at the very least. As Spin-Bro continued with his hasty Uproar, Sho sprayed a thin but sticky web towards Shina. It would've been annoying if she was snared inside of it, now that was for sure. { Spin-Bro } Spinda Level 14 - Male Own Tempo - Tangled Feet Tackle||Uproar||Assist||Copycat Perverted - Sneaky - Cupid Hit by --!

What was he to do after? There wasn't much of a strategy other than to survive. Shina was starting to get tired as well, as the tackle attack took a lot more out of her than many thought. Just how much power can a caterpie pack? Time seemed to slow down as the battle went on, for both Shina and Tristan. "Another battle with Hunter? If you're willing to comply, then yes I would like one." He may as well take the offer for another battle. It would definitely boost his confidence, somehow.
Back at the battle, Shina kept her defensive form, trying to avoid any further damage. By keeping this stance up, she at least managed to get the string shot on her back, out of the way. Despite her defensive position, she could still hear the uproar the spinda was causing, the sound piercing her like knives. "Shina! Keep it up!" Shina just thought to herself after Tristan's comment. What else was she supposed to do. "Alright, now attack the spinda with a night slash!" Quickly unraveling herself, she used the momentum to attack the spinda, the speed only weighing her down slightly, but enough to be noticeable. |

Susumu nodded in agreement with Tristan's offer, deciding that it wouldn't be a bad idea to help the small bird out. It seemed dedicated enough to at least try out another battle, but it was going to need to be healed before anything happened. Their first battle was nearly over from what he could see anyways, with Shina getting bombarded by a bunch of attacks before she snapped with the urge to retaliate. <Baby don't hurt me! No more!> Spin-Bro's Uproar was cut short before it could do more damage, struck hard in the chest and leaving residue claw marks.
It was enough to knock out his Spinda, leaving it a one on one. They were at fairly even health, but his Caterpie had a few advantages over the Sandshrew. It was probably going to be close, depending on the tricks that Sandshrew had lurking about. They were going to have to hit as hard as they could now, especially when Susumu expected Tristan to do the same thing. "Kick it up a notch. Swords Dance and Tackle." It was repetitive, but it was the best way to put his foe in a corner.
Sho's head whipped itself back and forth wildly from the invigorating motions of the dance, panting softly as his chest rose up and down. His body was being exerted from the amount of energy he was using up and fatigue was a looming shadow in the distance. Nevertheless, he burst forward at Shina's backside as if she was some kind of soccer ball ready to be kicked.

The battle was over and the victory went to Shamu. Tristan returned Shina to her pokeball before walking towards the healing machine. He quickly healed his own pokemon before returning back to the arena. Now was his chance to put up a better fight with Hunter, for he needed the confidence boost. "Hey. Thanks for helping me out. Hunter really needs it."
Hunter was released from his pokeball, standing alone in the ring in his starly form. He looked back at his trainer, smiling as he still remembered his trainer's words. It was enough to boost his confidence to the point of glowing. He started to grow in height and form. After the initial glow, starly has evolved to a staravia. Tristan smirked, even laughed a little before facing his new pokemon. "Alright then. Now lets do this battle. Shall we?" Hunter stretched his wings out a bit before reeling back in. He was still a little unconfident and not used to his new form just yet. |

It was a good battle, especially with the effort each Pokemon put into it. It was more than enough to send Sho into a physical revelation as his body started to change appearance. The small Caterpie coated himself with his own String Shot, hiding his form in the hard layers of string as he bided his time as a brief few minutes as a Metapod. Susumu blinked as he watched the evolution, too nervous to press 'b' as Sho kept on evolving. Almost immediately after turning into a dark colored cocoon, the Butterfree from within it burst free, revealing fine shadowy wings that carried him around. Sho still looked rather tired though, especially after all of that funky body changing.
"Well...guess you helped us out too." Susumu was a bit stunned at the sight of the Shadow Butterfree, not sure of what to make of Sho's doom and gloom filled expression. It was an oddly pretty Pokemon though, making him wonder if he could use it in contests as he returned the bug type. He'd have a better opponent for Hunter anyways. That definitely was not the only evolution going on, as Hunter went through some impressive changes of his own. "Maybe his evolution will give him a little confidence." Susumu commented as he slid his hand into his pockets, pulling out another flying type that he was sure would give Hunter something to think about.
Releasing her onto the field, Faima raised her wings and let out a short trill as she settled down on the ground. Her eyes directed themselves towards the meek looking male, wondering how such a large bird could appear so unconfident. She was more of a proud one herself, even if she considered herself less of a battler. Still, she'd fight if she had to. The exercise would've been good for her, wanting to drop a few pounds for a while anyways."I guess we can start. Faima, go for a Growl and Peck." Susumu didn't want to overwhelm Hunter, so he made sure to keep an eye on Faima to make sure she didn't go too crazy. The Chatot's growl was soft and quiet, enjoying the sound of her voice as she swayed her metronome shaped tail back and forth with the set rhythm of a clock. <Good luck.> She gave Hunter an encouraging smile as she finished, using her wings to carry her forward with a pretty simple Peck attack aimed at his wing.

He was a little shocked at first, as the chance of a second evolution like that was very low. Considering how many stages the caterpie was evolving to, Tristan was quite surprised. I guess there was another player who didn't press the b button. Hunter flapped in excitement, witnessing something only he just did. It was such a beautiful event to him.
"Well now. That was pretty cool." He said, looking at the shadow butterfree. Somehow, despite how powerful and how menacing the kind of pokemon it was 'meant' to be, he felt calm just watching it. He could not really explain why, he just knew that it was pretty interesting. "Trust me, I hope Hunter gains some too." Tristan looked back at his bird, still getting to his new form. Hunter was looking around his body, flapping his wings as he was getting used to himself as well. He quickly turned back at Tristan with a different look than usual. Rather than his usual, meek expression, Hunter seemed....much more pleasant. As if he were thankful for something.
<This is....wow...t-thank you Tristan.> Tristan blinked a few times, trying to get that idea into his head. He was taken aback when Hunter evolved, but to have a cheerful expression and being thankful suddenly. Hunter blushed a little at his own comment. That was a little new to Tristan. "Oh....uh....n-no problem. J-just, battle." He said, still wondering how Hunter gained that much confidence just by evolving. Meanwhile, the bird pokemon nodded and turned his body back. He looked at his opponent, who wished him luck in the battle. <Thanks! I hope you do well too.....> He said, his voice dropping. That was when he was pecked on the head, feeling the pain that hit him.
"Alright...Hunter, use a growl of your own and then use wing attack!" Hunter spread his wings and flapped up, getting himself a few feet in the air. Again, Tristan was taken aback by it. He was up in the air on his own accord. Even if his flight was a little shaky, it was still impressive. What gave him this sudden new power? As he got into the air, his growl was much more apparent, albeit a little reserved rather than loud. He suddenly dove, preparing his wing for an attack. |

Hunter seemed like a nice enough bird, though his lack of confidence managed to irk her a little. She felt as if he was the kind to be easily pushed around, only reminding her of weakness when she saw him. At least he was kind, noting that with a small smile. It was almost as if his good sportsmanship made up for that flaw of his. Tristan's command went into the field, and both birds had to brace themselves for what was going to happen next. Faima had to admit, the Staravia did look a bit clumsy when flying around with a Growl attack, but he still looked tough. Somehow she felt threatened, wincing the moment before the Wing Attack swooped in and knocked her on her back. "Hang in there, Faima. We're still getting started." Susumu tried to keep her motivated with positive words like that, making the Chatot shake her head as she huffed and got back onto her feet.
She totally was not about to lose to a docile bird like this! Back on her feet, she looked more than determined to teach this bird a few things about battling with style! <Almost got me with that one.> She gave him that, panting since he nearly hit a weak spot of hers. Critical hits would've been terrible in the first turn of a battle, especially since it would've put her at a big disadvantage! Susumu could tell that Hunter was stronger physically at this point, so he had little choice but to resort to some of Faima's more original attacks.
They were moves that not many birds at their level knew, so he could only grin and imagine the chaos these attacks were going to give their foes. "Sing, Faima." It was a bit of a tricky move due to its low accuracy, but the sleep condition was so worth it. Faima agreed with the decision and let her tail tick back and forth, keeping the rhythm like a metronome as she prepared herself with a deep breath. Once calm, she started to caw out a melody that sounded pretty to her in her head. It was a bit of an improvisation, going wherever the notes took her in order to lure her opponent to sleep.

He was feeling awesome, especially at how he was able to maintain himself. That's right, with a new form came with new confidence. And the only one he had to think for was Tristan, for helping him evolve into a staravia. Even though he still wasn't that confident, he was at least capable with Tristan. His lack of skill and confidence was evident when he almost dropped from the sky, catching himself up in the knick of time. "Alright, Hunter. Keep yourself sharp!" Hunter nodded, confident that he could win this battle.
Easier said than done as a melody began to fill the room. Hunter started to listen, finding it boring and somewhat amusing. His body started to wobble in the air before dropping down, falling asleep on the ground. "Hunter! Get up!" But it was no use, as he was fast asleep. Hunter dropped relatively quickly, especially after his feelings of confidence.
It was a good move, especially considering that it wasn't a move too many birds knew. Tristan looked at Shamu, unsure of what to do next except to wait. Tristan just kept calm, not saying a word about the situation. Despite that, he scratched the back of his head, not really like this minor annoyance. |

The moment the Staravia managed to fall asleep on the field, Susumu at first couldn't help but grin at their luck. Now that was great, seeing that they had a chance to make up for Faima's lack in physical power. Susumu couldn't help but hesitate as he thought about the next commands, having a sudden dawning on what Faima trapped herself into. At this point, they really were stuck using Peck and Growl. Night Shade wouldn't work on another bird, unless they didn't happen to be a normal type. As far as he knew, Staravias were normal and flying types, so that was a bit of a dumb move to try.
For Mirror Move to work, Faima had to see the attack in the same turn. With Hunter asleep, she was effectively limited to using Peck until he woke up. It was a bit of a shame, but that sleep condition at least gave them a little bit of time to catch up. <Waiting for you, Susumu.> Faima's impatience was clear in her voice as she stared at the sleeping bird, not sure when her target would wake up exactly. Her song was so pretty sometimes, that she wondered if her listeners actually made an effort to stay up just to hear her finish it.
They always fell asleep though, darn them! She silently huffed with impatience as Susumu snapped out of his trance, nodding as he caught himself. "Right. Use another Peck on Hunter." As long as the command was made, everything would be ok. Faima's wings carried her a little higher into the air as she swooped towards the sleeping bird, aiming a small peck at his noggin to try and get some damage off on him. Revenge after that Wing Attack would only be too sweet for her!

Despite how strong, or where, the attack hit, Hunter was sound asleep, unmoving. His body was barely moving, save the few times he rolled over to get himself comfortable. "Hunter, wake up! Come on!" he called, hoping that it could get through. It was no use, for Hunter's confidence seemed all for naught when he fell asleep. Hopefully he hasn't forgotten those feelings. Or at least keep himself up to keep battling.

It was a shame, but there really was not much else that Faima and Susumu could do this turn. They could try using Growl to lower whatever offenses it had, yet that made it seem much more likely to wake the darn bird up. It was frustrating in a way, yet Susumu had to remember that they had the advantage. "Faima, you got this!" Susumu kept on encouraging the Chatot, feeling rather proud of her for doing so well. They only had a few battles together in the past and hadn't had the chance to bond very much, yet she was well trained due to her previous owner. The Chatot was definitely a Pokemon that deserved to be trained into something great!
The Chatot glanced back at Susumu for advice with a curious look, wondering if she could go right ahead with the same attack. "Yeah, use Peck." Susumu nodded, knowing that they couldn't rely on Mirror Move until the Staravia woke up. Bright blue feathers swiftly carried her towards the Staravia once more, flying cautiously towards him then away in case he decided to wake up and retaliate. This time she planned on getting him right on the noggin, hoping to get some damage in while she could. <Heavy sleeper!> She commented as she landed right next to him, feeling her heart pound faster at the prospect of him waking up and surprising her. His eyelids looked heavy, easing her worries enough to execute the attack.

He could not retaliate, let alone defend himself as he took each hit, one by one. Tristan only watched as the newly evolved flying type, brought about with his newly found confidence, took each hit, as if the confidence he had was brought up for nothing. "Come on, Hunter. Where's all of that confidence?" He said, his words barely getting through. But there was nothing he could do except wait until Hunter woke up.
Still, Tristan could not bear to watch Hunter take the hits, evident in how he glared at it. His usually calm and apathetic matter showed signs of concern, as he felt a connection to his pokemon. Perhaps it was his pride that was getting him emotional. Or perhaps he saw himself in the staravia's...shoes. How he was unable to do anything against his brothers achievements and family. |
