Amelia looked around the Gym in wonder. While he didn't care for the wall color since it hurt her eyes to look at so she focused on the various vases that lines the walls, admiring the work. When Snorlax let out a snore, she turned to and stared at the massive Pokémon in shock. She knew some of them got big, bit it was still a bit jarring to see one that actually got so big. Her attention then turned towards the man who was making another vase, but also speaking to her. She listened to his speech and when he finished, she was quiet for several minutes as she thought over her answer.
"[color=a187be]I... I believe in freedom. I believe in ones right to make their own choices and to live life their way, not the way others think they should. I believe that one should not be restricted by their limitations but strive to try and overcome them. I also believe... that perfection is a lie and something that should never be achieved[/color]." She said, looking at Dorian. "[color=a187be]Perfection leads to stagnation. If we become stagnant, we can't progress. If we can't progress, we'll never accomplish anything, since we see no need for improvement. If we don't improve, then we'll never be able to overcome those who are better then us.

As for it I think I can overcome you... I'm not so certain. I've never taken on a gym leader before. But, if I don't test myself, I won't know where my limits are and therefore I won't be able to overcome them. So even if I think I can't, I must try[/color]."
