[Ah yes, the Battle Frontier; those were different circumstances then. They were there to help with a threat, and the battles were between pokemon and pokemon- not pokemon and people.

Part of this was chiding himself that battling Garrosh would be cruel because pokemon tend to be much stronger than humans. Yet, with the power cap here he wasn't even able to subdue Garrosh, let alone damage him with Mimi alone. It's debatable whether he would stand a chance even if his hand were forced.... and it still could be forced now.]

Choosing your battles doesn't necessarily make you a coward. You may disagree, but I know that Senior Silver- and most definitely I don't want to fight you.
