In 2016, the greatest Pokemon player of all time, asked me to promise him something. At the Orlando Regional Championships, I was reminded of this promise. Let’s take a deep dive into how the bond I share with my friend Wolfe has completely changed my life.

Thank you so much to everyone who helped me bring this video to life. I’ve wanted to tell this story for a long time and am so grateful for the opportunity to share it.
I spent the last month working super hard on this, doing my best to get all the details right – I have much to improve on but I’m so happy with how it turned out. Please enjoy.
I absolutely am here for this 2024 circlejerk.
absolute banger of a video
Beautiful video man, had me tearing up at the end haha. Keep it up and one day you'll get to where you want to be!
This was genuinely so inspiring I’m going to go download MTGO right now and start grinding
Bro treats pokemon like an olympic sport
I just started this video, but immediately, amazing intro, amazing title, and excellent theming.
One and a half YEARS and showdown still shows your pokemon attacking with their ass instead of introducing back sprites? The fuck are they doing?

Neil is amazing and probably my favorite player no shame in losing to him, at all. Can't win em all unfortunately; and you yourself are an amazing player that everyone has heard of. Hope to play against you some day
Great video
Wow. Great video. Imposter syndrome comes for us all but few of us can admit it.
great video bro
great vid! i love how it gives insight into a scene i hardly know, being european and not following every little thing that happens in vgc, this is very interesting!
this is f***ing incredible. great narrative, great storytelling. 10/10 Azazel
This was inspiring and fantastic!!
The thing i learned from this is: "when in doubt, make a religion"
Ill have to try that next time.
F$#% man, I was cheering for you, till the end of the video lol. You will get it next time! GGs
Absolutely incredible video
This could have been good if you weren't talking about yourself. Just sounds like whining to me.
youre one of the greats & i'm glad youve stood up to self doubt & found a positive outlook, this is an amazing & honest look into your journey, thanks for sharing it with us
Such an amazing Video keep posting such good Videos
This video is good to put things into perspective for wolfe viewers like me, because wennever he mentions his friends in competitive it allways seems like were looking UP at you guys for help to aid the "youtube boy" in his journey. Never have I thought that his friends viewd it like this.
In the future I hope to see him posting a video response about aiding YOUR journey to victory so that we come full circle

A fitting quote, and now I can't stop thinking of Wolfe as Kamina lol.
this could totally be the argument for a cars movie
Wonderfully made video!! ❤ GL in future tournaments 🙏
Good friendship stories are so heartwarming, much love to you guys.
I felt this whole video personally. I have been a competitive card game player for years and one of my closest friends was well known in the community and won countless tournaments. I always felt so crushed when I could never reach the same goal as him. But he would always want to play together and test and I felt some kind of pride that came along with that. It's so incredibly tough to live up to the expectation we set on ourselves by comparing our accomplishments to those we idolize. We have to remind ourselves that all we can ever do is our best and to keep trying. We will get there eventually. You'll get there, Justin. It's just a matter of time.
I am not in the competitive scene but i do find it interesting. Your story is something i needed to hear rn so thanks
Such a good atory
Gg!
It took a player from an exquisite level, Neil, to beat another exquisite player in you!
Wolfey is also just such a chad
Amazing edit
What a sick video. The editing was fun too
This is a beautiful story and an amazing video. I have faith that you'll win worlds someday. As they say: "Chase perfection. Achieve greatness."
Was really surprised with how good this video was, really enjoyed it. Thank you
I want to start my VGC journey, I al building teams but I have no one to practice with.. 🙁
