As the Scatterbug flew back from a particularly well placed Tackle, Indigo grinned. Success, he'd finally gotten this annoying trainer off his back and showed her a thing or two! It felt [i]great[/i] to finally have a win.

"Well, there's that. Where's your attitude now, huh?" He taunted. "Guess you and your dumb Scatterbug couldn't handle it. Do me a favor and get that thing out of my sight-" he stopped himself. This... This didn't feel that good anymore. It was strange. All he had wanted was a victory against another trainer, but it didn't feel like a victory at all. At least not anymore.

Margo was crying and her Scatterbug seemed quite hurt, not quite physically, but there was a certain melancholy in the way she so carefully curled herself up. They both refused to look at Indigo. But... he was the winner. Shouldn't that have meant that they had to acknowledge him? 

But even when he thought back to it, how was it a victory, truly? Her Scatterbug had less experience, that was clear enough. No, it didn't feel like a win anymore. It wasn't anything to be proud of. He'd had Mimzy go all out on an opponent that was much weaker than she was. What did that make him?

A bully.

[i]She was the one who kept bugging me for a battle! So why do I feel bad? It's not my fault she put that stupid, ugly Scatterbug out...[/i] But he knew, deep down, this wasn't what he truly wanted. A true victory would have been something he'd earned. 

"Hey uh..." He looked away. "I got carried away. I'm... I didn't mean to." He wasn't sure what to do. "I just got mad because you were annoying me. Look, don't get all teary just because you lost. You were the one who took your Scatterbug out." He crossed his arms. "Why did you even take it out?" In the end, he was defensive because he felt terrible. But Indy was trying his hardest to parse through his feelings and guilt.
