If you are a VGC (or Pokemon) enjoyer, SUPPORT THE HOMIE'S LONG-FORM CONTENT
It sure took me a while, but my 2nd proper video is up!
This video is more than a tournament: it's my first encounter with a lot of my friends in the community, the first rival that I've had, and a few more lessons that I had learned.

Like many of you, I've been looking to things that bring me joy. This quote from Uncle Iroh feels particularly relevant.
“You must never give in to despair. Allow yourself to slip down that road and you surrender to your lowest instincts. In the darkest times, hope is something you give yourself.”
