>I proceed to somehow beat his ass to the floor
>in rapid succession
>Each and every time we fight with our pokebank teams, I swamp him
>Even with our in game ORAS teams, I swamped him
Currently haven't fought him in SM, because he's been on hard times and hadn't had the chance to pick up the game. But this time around I chose the starter he's weak to, so there's that.
