Honestly, the gag of emphasizing this guy being an everyman by disguising him as an ordinary NPC during the Gym challenge and only revealing him as the leader in this scene is absolutely amazing.

[@monicaraybrandt]

My name is Yoshikage Kira. I'm 33 years old. My house is in the northeast section of Morioh, where all the villas are, and I am not married. I work as an employee for the Kame Yu department stores, and I get home every day by 8 PM at the latest. I don't smoke, but I occasionally drink. I'm in bed by 11 PM and make sure I get eight hours of sleep no matter what. After having a glass of warm milk and doing about twenty minutes of stretches before going to bed, I usually have no problems sleeping until morning. Just like a baby, I wake up without any fatigue or stress in the morning. I was told there were no issues at my last check-up. I'm trying to explain that I'm a person who wishes to live a very quiet life. I take care not to trouble myself with any enemies like winning and losing; that would cause me to lose sleep at night. That is how I deal with society and I know that is what brings me happiness, although if I were to fight, I wouldn't lose to anyone.

I found him to be ironically funny. He uproots an entire dining area just for a battle, then instead of heading back to the gym area to talk to the desk person to fight him, you just hop into battle. Then he battles right after eating and then proceeds to eat as if he hadn't eaten beforehand after the battle. Not to mention his second title. Only Agatha has done so in the aniem

Plus, I think someone like Larry being the rare one is fitting in making the Normal-Type Gym Leaders stand out.

For those who don't know: Facade is an attack that deals double damage when the user is hit with a status condition the word "Facade" means acting fake or acting tough. so when the user has a stat condition, it makes the "facade" even more convincing, and the target falls for it more. it's like that meme: "Call a pokemon center!!!... *...BUT NOT FOR ME!!!* "

The Gym test itself stayed done, though. A while later, when I came back to fight him, *he wasn't there*. I went and talked to the one guy to start the battle, and the intro scene for Larry played as programmed, Larry stood up, spoke, and went to the battlefield, but Larry's model just was not there, so it was like a ghost was talking.
