>>Too late.
Conveniently, Oak shows up just after I finish raping his grandchild. That would've been awkward to explain.
"Gramps, you're here! Did you come to congratulate me for becoming champion?"
"No, I didn't give a fuck until I heard Bored was fighting you. Also, we never loved you. Bored, you're the new champion now! So glad someone beat that bitch who won just before you. You've grown up so much since you first left with Blubasaur to work on the pokedex. Say, can I see the little guy? I bet he's grown so much since he left the lab too!"
"Yeah, about that..."
"Oh. I understand. Quite a sad occasion when a precious teammate dies. A feeling I bet my whore grandchild doesn't know. Anyway, come with me. I will indoctrinate your team into the hall of fame."
