Hmmm, is that the reason? Somehow I bet there's more to it than that. [Sure, he's never seen Raihan's social media accounts for himself, but just from the way the guy's always talking about it, he's sure it's a flurry of other fanservice and non-battle related activity. Plenty of other things for his fans to be engaged with, that is, than his losing streaks...........]
Not that that's a bad thing.
[He's interested in hearing Raihan's perspective on his rival, though- as he should be, as anyone interested in a competitive battling scene should be. Who knew any trainer better than their rival, after all?]
[It doesn't surprise him, either for Raihan to refute him or to hear that the guy didn't have any one consistent strategy. Keeping things consistent meant keeping things stale, after all- and a Champion had to be more than consistent to keep their place at the top.]
In other words, he's the one keeping his eye on you, [Blue grins, and the way he looks at Raihan is awfully knowing.] Well, not that that's a bad thing for a rival, right?
