[Maybe if Sena was still a little younger, still in high school, he'd be confused about it all.

But he's been figuring his way out through college by this point, so he kinda gets what Ash is telling him - although it is kinda weird hearing this from someone potentially younger than him. You sounded wise for a second there, Ashy-boy!]

So, this battle is meant to be something you learn from?

[Sena's eyes glint in curiosity.]

It sounds like something you'd do if you wanted to find yourself...does that mean they battle differently from the gym leaders? Have different strategies or something?
