Meanwhile, when all this is happening, Slade was leaning against the guard rail looking out into the forest. Sasuke, on the other hand, was listening to the conversation between Danielle, Raiza, Kage, and Ryan from a nearby tree. As Slade was gazing out into the forest he couldn't help but think to himself, 'Is it true what they said? Do I really push my pokemon too hard?' He let out a big sigh, 'Why was I chosen by them, there are much better skilled trainers here than me. Worst of all they might come back again and harm more people.' Slade clenched his fist, 'Also, is it true I want power, is that all that I wanted? Is that really my only purpose, to get stronger, if so why? Tell me why dammit!' He slammed his fist on the rail subconsciously, 'Argh! Why the fuck does all this bad shit happen to me!'
