[Riku just let it get to his head. He's had a steady stream of victories ever since his team got strong enough to handle Falkner, and he hasn't had anyone to humble him before. The fact that he lost in his very first Pokémon battle is what drove him to be such a vicious battler.
Slacker's first evolution resulted in a very angry Nidorino, all because of Riku's recklessness, and that was ages ago.
The walk to the center is a quiet one for Riku. He's too caught up in his own thoughts.]
