Honestly, I found this rule incredibly interesting. Reading what tactics my opponent would use, what moves they would choose, picking my own Pokémon, and giving commands. The joy of victory moved me beyond words. Losing was frustrating, of course, but the thrill of a new discovery-"So that's how it works!"-made my heart race, too. Then, after the battle, I could look back on it, study its strengths and weaknesses, and make those lessons part of myself. That would make my approach even more polished next time.
Incidentally, I had gained the knowledge that made this possible from Mr. Yuto's "Pokémon Lecture," while my insight had improved most through battling his Ralts. From the Pokémon she sent out-she was female-I could predict her tactics to some extent. But since she was a Pokémon, naturally, I couldn't understand what she said, except through Telepathy. I could only work out which moves she had actually commanded from her little gestures or her Pokémon's initial movements.
This rule would also help me this time. During our travels, I had seen in battle just how varied Mr. Yuto's Pokémon were, in all sorts of ways. Honestly, I had no idea which Pokémon he might bring out. Being able to see the six he had registered made it easier to work out his strategy and devise my own to counter it. I was truly grateful.
Everyone said I would lose to Mr. Green, but if I could...!
"I don't mind."
"Neither do I."
"Really? Then I'll tell the organizers. Good luck to both of you."
