Jackass wanted to forget what happened at the Global Trade Station, but after the encounter, he noticed changes in his thought process. His perception was expanded to the extent that it was troubling- it became near impossible to concentrate on the sequence of events that composed his life when potential futures all played themselves out around him.
In one instance, he was writing in his journal about how he had nearly reached the end of a cave. There was one trainer left to battle, and he figured he may as well just try to make it through with his only conscious pokemon left, his loyal Chansey, Shit Dick. Jackass nearly shat himself when he saw the ACE TRAINER sitting right at the cave exit stare right at him and unleash her formidable Medicham. He knew that his poor Chansey was essentially defenseless against this opponent, but Jackass tried to be encouraging anyway, urging her to use Double Edge and silently pleading that the Medicham's attack, whatever it was, might miss.
Even in such desperate situations, he never prayed to Arceus anymore.
Unsurprisingly, the Medicham decided to end the battle early with a Hi Jump Kick. His speed was superior and his aim was true, and Jackass was treated to the sight of one of his dainty feet gracefully colliding with Shit Dick's face, proving that a creature of her shape can, in fact, fall down. Jackass rushed to comfort his fallen friend, but noticed mid-stride that he was facing away from the entrance of the cave, pocketing his journal again. His Chansey was at his side, and her contented humming made it clear that the battle never happened.
Jackass did not pride himself on his luck and good judgment anymore. For every risky move that paid off, he survived several waking nightmares. He couldn't shrug them off because they never happened, they were still real.
