I could have been there with my brothers at N's castle, ready to fight the seven sages. I wasn't.
Why not? Some unimaginative people explain that eleven leaders to get rid of six sages would be overkill. That's true and reasonable. But not correct. Others say that Ghetsis ordered me there as the Shadow Triad member. Also true and reasonable. Still not correct. The real reason is, I was afraid.
Not afraid of Ghetsis, or N, or the legends, or anything of that sort.
I was afraid of a child.
I was afraid of one of the sages recognising us and telling us to fight against her.
Honestly, I wouldn't have cared about betraying the rest of the gym leaders. They always looked down on us. They were always making fun of me and my brothers, since we were new.
Not her.
No. If I had been ordered in any way to hurt her, I would refuse. I don't exactly know how, but I would.
Only, I'm scared about facing her if she found out I was part of Team Plasma. She probably already has. She's very smart.
Yesterday she visited the gym. I couldn't bring myself to look her in the eyes.
