... Gyarados, perhaps? I have read something about them. I would love to meet them, but, ah, I suppose I won't be able to count on you coming along. Quite a shame, really.

I have read that their monstrous appearance awakens a fear so intense in their opponents that their attack power is decreased as a result, no matter how experienced or brave they might be. The ability to instill fear is true power - that is something I used to believe. Not anymore, however.

Fear is a primordial emotion. In a sense, it's proof that we are alive. If we are ashamed of our fears [There's the condescending tone again! Sorry, Kimblee.] and refuse to recognize them as such, how will we ever overcome them?
