[Eva sighs and as she speaks, her gaze turns hollow.] Sometimes they aren't for fun. Sometimes you need to battle because it's the only way you get out alive. Pokemon grow stronger with battle, yes, but they're stronger when raised with love and respect, when they aren't forced into it. If you love and respect your pokemon, then they'll go that extra mile for you.

[There's another sigh as she shakes her head with a rueful smile.] Sorry. I- I prefer friendly battles, where losing means nothing more than learning from the loss.
