'looks down at the ground'

I came sooooo close to winning this tournament...but the style of this battle was something I just couldn't fully get the hang of. To me, it felt like an "ASB Final Exam" that I didn't "study" enough for, and just like many of the final exams I wrote in the past for school and college, I'm disappointed I "failed" here. But, it's still my best finish in a tournament, and I'm glad I was able to be in this battle. I just hope I'll be able to win a tournament someday in the future, though I don't think I want to contend with this battle format again (I don't hate it; I just am not a fan of total unpredictability).

Still, congratulations Oslo, and thanks for reffing, Greyfox.

'sigh' Sabre, I'm sorry that we didn't get your Mega Stone here. But, that's only going to make my desire to look for your Mega Stone in the Safari Zone much stronger. Someday if we find it and a Mega Ring, I'll make sure you become a legend among all the Pokemon still in this ASB.
