VS ROBIN #1

Gwyar tilted his head.

"Is that right?" Gwyar asked, before raising a hand. "From my point of view, you had all the tools you needed. It was not Snorlax's moveset or shortcomings that you did you two in— it was impatience."

He could think of a few other things too, but nevermind that.

"At the beginning of the battle, Revavroom used Magnet Rise." He said. "In that moment, you gave up on using Earthquake at all, and it wasn't until I coaxed you that you utilized it for a purpose beyond a direct offensive."

She had re-structured the field with it.

Gwyar folded his arms behind his back.

"As you saw, Earthquake can be utilized in a myriad of ways. Just as you used it to change the battlefield— it could've been used to create barriers and protect Snorlax— or to further slow and entrap Revavroom."

After all, eventually— Magnet rise had to end— as it had. Though by then, Snorlax had been too injured.

"I cannot say with absolute certainty how things would've gone, but I do believe if you had taken a more patient, defensive approach, given your Snorlax's attributes, your chances of victory would've been considerable."

Gwyar nodded.

"I believe you did, but that is something you'll have to work towards." He said simply. "Our job as Pokemon Trainers does not end once our pokemon are on the battlefield. Your pokemon are relying on you as a strategist and tactician, not just a trainer and caregiver; it is up to you to adapt to unfavorable circumstances and help your pokemon achieve unlikely victories."

He patted the young ranger's shoulder.

"Do not misunderstand me—" He said. "It is not easy. But neither is the Gym Challenge, nor the path to the Championship."

Folding his arms behind his back, he nodded.

"If you are not sure where to start— feel free to join us at the seminars." He said, smiling. "Hands on experience is the best teacher."

Right after himself, of course.
