Maker took a deep breath. "Let's head to the little cup! We can watch the battle on our PokeGears." She turned to Sylvia. "Don't worry if you don't want to battle, a lot of experience is earned by watching. Maybe I'll join ya! I don't think I'm quite ready for a tournament yet, but maybe I'll change my mind when I get there. I tend not really know what I'm gonna do." She smiled proudly. "Let's go then!" She took of running.
"LADIES AND GENTLEMAN!" A man wearing a cowboy hat and black boots stood in the middle of the arena inside the Chihuanua gym. "Today our gym leader will be facing, Sol!" He pointed at Sol. "Now, since this is his first gym battle, we have special rules for today. A singles battle, two Pokemon each, the gym leader is not allowed to switch, while the challenger can switch Pokemon once." He pointed to the other side. "Now, our gym leader, Charlie!"
A man about 26 years old, tall, tanned skin, black hair that covered part of his eyes. He wore a blue lumberjack jack shirt, jeans and black boots. "Welcome Sol! I hope you're ready for your first match... Because I won't go easy on you!"
