#//left grusha's exact situation open for interpretation. but i love his femme man swag

I was going to make some sort of humorous joke about "Mondays". Perhaps one including that orange Purugly.

However, time has flown us by, and our guest was a bit busy with his work, so now it is Tuesday!

But it is still time for the:

Clive Update!

Brought to you by the Naranja-Uva Berry Collective! Feeling "Enigma"tic? Come Na"nab" some berries in the campus greenhouse and become a "Starf" of healthy eating today!

Today's Pride Feature is one who I have seen plenty of enthusiasm about online! ...Perhaps a bit too much enthusiasm. You really all ought to show a bit more respect in how you talk about this man, by the Treasures.

But that aside, today's guest is the Sub-zero Shredder himself, Gym Leader Grusha!

...So people still call me that, huh? Say, Clive, do you even know what "shredder" means? Hey, I'm not the one being interviewed here! Of course I know what it means to "shred". You, um... uh... it's got something to do with shredded ice, I'm sure. Mmhm. No looking at your phone, I see that. Don't think I won't bring you crashing down with me. SO, um, of course, shredding... I'm explaining this for the kids who aren't cool enough to get this, of course, it's... uh... when you snowboard so well... you, uh... you blow past everyone else... um... Ugh, nevermind, that's plenty. So uncool... how about we just get started already. What does pride mean to me, right? It's on the tip of my tongue... When you blow the competition... Pffh... Past. You mean... Whatever, I'm just answering the question. Pride, to me, is pressing forward. Even when the path you were on suddenly becomes irreversibly changed, finding a way to keep going. Because you know that you are worth the effort. Even though you're terrified of losing more than you've already lost to the swirling storms. Ahem. You've certainly had to rebuild a lot for yourself over the years. And yet, you've done well at it. You have a reputation as the strongest Gym Leader here in Paldea, and one of the most well-loved for your... "androgynous swag"? I suppose... but I can't let that get to my head. I can't let myself get swept up again, like I did that day. But I am glad that my presentation resonates with so many people. Just because I chose to live my life as a man doesn't mean I need to look a certain way. I can be pretty and be a man. And I think I like what I've got going... even if I lost a few ties along the way. So I'm glad that people can at least... see themselves in me. Men, women, people off the gender binary... Their enthusiasm reminds me of how I used to be. Ah! I have found it! "Shredding" refers to snowboarding on difficult or challenging terrain! Congratulations. I'm so happy for you. Anyways, thanks for the interview. See you some other time, "cool kid".
