Sun of Daedalus
Sleep is such a wonderful thing isn't it? No worries, no cares, just drifting in dreams; I wish I slept more. In the wild, predators will seize you in your sleep, but in a warm lap there's no such thing as predators. I just want to melt away and sleep in that lap forever.
And it was one-on-one; a hushed silence seemed to meander its way through the crowd like an arbok poised over its prey. Whitney and him twitched nervously in anticipation and anxiety as they prepared for the showdown that would either bring them swift and glorious victory or soul-crushing defeat!
How'd you like that, pretty dramatic huh?
Forgive me if I don't share the same enthusiasm for battle that other people seemed to have – living in the wild all these years makes these mock-battles seem a bit silly. Oh and the war of course, not that I ever saw anything all that terrible besides you know…
Anyways I didn't really pay attention to much of the battle; I was too engrossed in napping to pay attention. It doesn't really matter how the other rounds went anyways, seeing as how they're already done. As with anything, only the end matters when it comes down to it. Well, I guess that in between crap might matter to someone like my 'trainer' who could actually study to learn from his mistakes, but I really couldn't care less. I just want to enjoy Lauren's lap while I can.
If you must know what went down in the last three rounds, I can hazard a guess. Carolyn was probably up against the togekiss – at least I think that's a togekiss, they're a rare breed so I can't be too sure... about the species that is, I'm positive about the match up. The league uses some kind of math to match up opponents based on how interesting the match will be, which is probably why we had the whole 'spinarak vs. spinarak' thing going on way back when. As for the other two: it's anybody's guess. Chansey and smergle don't exactly mesh well with wooper or ariados. If I had to, I'd probably put Charles up against the Chansey, since the sizing is more even.
The final battle's far more appropriate; Laura's fighting some sort of… I think it's called a 'herdier'? I've never seen one before, but suffice to say they have similar body types and moves and such. The girls and the Falkner are standing, so from the looks of things I would – Oh! I wonder if Lauren wants to stand? He is her son. That concept is still difficult for me sometimes. Wait… huh? Is it over already? Did I – did I stop her from seeing it? Crap! Why am I such a selfish idiot?
Well at least he won and all. I don't think he could have handled another loss. This way we get to have a little party before we say goodbye to Lauren. It'll be sad to see her go, I will certainly miss her. Maybe I'll catch her again someday. Hmmm...
I'm so tired.
