On being accepted to The Wake

...I hope you know what you've just gotten yourself into.

Don't worry about me. I never fail, remember? I don't care how 'crazy' you've warned me things are going to be. I don't fail. If I fail, people and Pokemon suffer. The world could have ended if I failed. So I just don't. No one ever has to worry about that. It's just...

I suppose I didn't realize until now how alone it would feel not to have my Pokemon with me. But I don't need them. I don't need anyone. I mean, even Cynthia treats me like an idiotic little kid, and I still beat her in a fair fight. It's who I am.

[Which one of us are you trying to convince, Lucas?]

No one. I'm just thinking this through. One of us has to.

I dunno, dude. Saying you never fail is like an invitation for it to happen, especially in Nautilus. I mean, I'm not saying you shouldn't be optimistic, but everyone screws up at least once in a while.

Plus a lot of muns are crazy... They get their kicks watching us struggle and fail. They say it "builds character."

[That last bit may have come with a bit of a sarcastic tone.]
