"Clare is just as bad as Whitney and whines when you beat them fair and square"
No, Clair is WORSE than Whitney. Whitney gets so upset upon being beaten that she forgets to give you the Gym Badge until you remind her.
Clair, on the other hand, decides not to give you the Gym Badge purely out of spite, sends you into Dragon’s Den and has you take a quiz from the Dragon Master fully expecting you to fail. And she only gives up the gym badge after she wees her pants hearing her cousin mentioned.
