The hardest member of the Elite Four, Ryan, found it hard to believe that he'd ever had a challenge like he did with that kid. That kid. He had such a fire in his eyes, a kind of determination that stood out to Ryan. He battled calmly, and observed every move Ryan made instead of talking. He just responded with a move that made sense in every way. Like he planned it. Ryan struggled to remember his name, but after some thought, he found that memory. The kid's name was Brian.
As Ryan got ready to face a new day of challengers, he couldn't stop thinking about Brian. He remembered the last moment in that battle, the look of fire in his eyes as Ryan's last Pokemon went down. Brian smiled, sent his Pokemon back in its ball, and walked over. Unlike some rude challengers, he shook Ryan's hand and walked through the Champion's door. Although he wanted to think about other things as well, he couldn't be late.
He walked outside, and headed toward his room at The Elite Four building, but he had to stop and use the pokemon center. He walked into his room, and he waited for the door to open. When it did, Ryan was shocked. Brian had lost to the Champion, and had to start his challenge again. While he knew the Champion was strong, he thought that Brian's last Pokemon would come through, that he would slowly triumph over his opponent, just like Brian did over Ryan. But, he still had to face him, so he got his poke balls ready, and the second they hit the ground, the smoke from the constant attacking was blinding. He could barely see his Pokemon taking a hard hit from one of Brian's first Pokemon. Ryan figured that this would be a long battle.
