[Perry has been in Johto for a few months now and, while he is getting used to things, he can't help but miss home dearly. Luckily while he hasn't run into any of his real family yet, he's actually made friends so he couldn't say he was lonely, but...

Well he did really miss fighting without the aid of Pokemon. After doing some thinking, he decided that, as long as it's on mutual terms, fighting someone else probably wouldn't be too looked down upon.

Besides he and Heinz weren't nemeses anymore so it's not like he would be offended if he found out, right?]

Hey.

So I was wondering if anyone is interested in a temporary nemesiship with me. I am highly experienced in fighting but I am also willing to go easy on someone if they are not too experienced in fighting

I'm traveling currently but I am also fine with impromptu fights if we learn we're in the same town at the same time. I'm also planning on getting the badge needed to learn Fly soon too if that helps any.

I'm not really used to paying for a nemesis, but I am willing to at least buy you a coffee after our fights, or possibly some lunch depending on the time of day at the end of thwarting. If you feel like that's not enough I can be persuaded to pay more.

Schemes aren't necessary but always nice.

If anyone is interested feel free to contact me either on this post or text me through my inbox.

Wow, just boring? Not even intimidating? Dangerous? Stressful?

I guess when you're used to fighting baddies it kinda makes sense. Just wasn't the first word I'd think of.

[doesntdomuch]

I guess those words count too, to be fair.

But when your nemesis doesn't even acknowledge you after you get stuck in a trap, it does get boring fast.

[islandshore]

Heh. What kinda acknowledgement do you mean, though? Help? Taunting? If I were a villain, I doubt I'd be too concerned.

But I know a lot of baddies tend to get way too ahead of themselves. All that gloating, thinking they've already won... Pretty big weakness if you as me.

Anything really? You would be surprised how important the nemesis dynamic can be.

I don't really have any experience in being evil. But I can't imagine how boring it would be if I was trying to take over the world and I beat my nemesis within a second and forget about them. What's the point in trying to accomplish something if your obstacles don't mean anything?

[islandshore]

Hmm... True. What point is there in trying if you're just gonna get everything handed to you?

It's why I wish there was more for us to do when we get all the badges. Once you make it to the top, it's tough to move forward unless there's someone out there who's better than you.

Not saying there isn't, and training's a whole different ballpark, but it's not hard to draw parallels.
