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.
