He put his sunglasses on, locked the door, and walked out. Along the streets, many people were staring at him. No one could be so serious on a day like this. Just then, he bumped into a person. "Hey, watch where you're going!" that person said. "I have no need for watching," Stratus said. "Well, then... would you like to have a Pokémon match?" that person said. "No. Now leave me alone." "Chicken! Cluck cluck cluck!" "I take no offense from insults." Stratus walked away calmly and carefully. This man was amazing. He could take an insult and keep on walking. Amazing!
