Eleyna stared at Steven and her eyes fell as he detailed the events of his past. Her head fell and her brow furrowed at his explanation.<br/><br/>"You can't blame yourself for something like that." She spoke up suddenly, frowning at him. "Accidents happen in Pokemon battles and sometimes we get hurt... its like Brollem's Pimeape. Sometimes... sometimes things go wrong."<br/><br/>"Sometimes..." Eleyna frowned and squeezed her ankle. "Sometimes when Pokemon don't want to quit... they just want to keep going until they've got nothing left. If... if that bitch back in Senjou hadn't stopped it, Growlithe would have kept fighting until he was dead! But we don't always get to make those decisions...! You're.... you're just stupid if you think that it was your fault! And giving up battles is just as stupid!"<br/><br/>Eleyna punched the ground angrily. "Hitmonlee could have said no! He didn't have to fight... even though we're their trainers... Pokemon still have a choice! He chose to fight as your Pokemon! So you had better honor his sacrifice and keep going!"<br/><br/>"Baka..." Eleyna turned her head away from Steven, tugging at the grass and finding herself more affected by the trainer's story than she would have thought.<div class="messageTextEndMarker"> </div>
