Decent fight. Josh had moments, but mostly, KenSham did his thing and denominated it.
. Quite soon now, actually. (Note to self, upgrade Josh later today)
lol 
Ummm, what now? I didn't forget about him at all. He is my 1A/1B priority (and has already had some upgrading since I posted the note to myself to upgrade him). I just had not done any upgrading in a while, hence the note. I get lost in the behind the scenes work and forget to take care of my fighters often. 
Have 9 points in celebration of this monumental achievement!
