Draven wasn't a downer and he wasn't in a bad place, he was just a man that liked to maintain a realistic set of expectations for what he and his Pokemon could or could not be capable of doing. Besides, it wasn't like his case was completely hopeless when it came to overpowering some of the scary types that could Dominate fire. Honestly speaking, one of Fire's biggest weaknesses was rock, and once his Torchic was at least adequately trained and evolved, he'd be able to handle rocks deftly. He also heard rumors that Ninetales was able to learn solarbeam with a great deal of dedication and training, so that was another thing he'd have to look at in order to counter the other type that loomed over his head.<br/><br/>For now though, he kept his thoughts on the matter to himself and simply agreed with Marco's little suggestion that the two get a move on to the next event. "You're right. I don't think I'd hear the end of it if I ended up getting disqualified from the event after speaking the way I did to our gracious host." With that, he moved to follow the two girls down the hallway, finding Elly's antics amusing in the way that a parent would watch their child, curious to see what Elly would get herself into next. While he didn't dislike the dark type gym leader, he couldn't help but have a bit of a low opinion from her, considering that she didn't exactly carry herself like he'd expect of an adult who had a level of authority. Though Draven was most certainly in the market for a relationship, he preferred somebody a bit more mature, so he wasn't particularly interested in Elly the same way that Marco could have been, judging from his body language earlier.<br/><br/>When they arrived at the section for the next contest, Draven looked up to see yet another familiar and highly respected figure waiting for the three of them. "Hmm... Did the entire Kanto league decide to take their vacation here, or something?" Despite the fact that he could feel himself being slightly out of his league again, Draven took his place on the stage and waited patiently for the event to get rolling.<br/>
