Rheese outright avoided the small spat that Alexis's return caused. As things were, he was more concerned about what they were all walking into. Sophia's confidence made Rheese cringe internally. That kind of blustering would probably just set her up for a fall. Though, instead of trying to express that sentiment, he simply followed her into the building. This would be their first gym challenge, so maybe it wouldn't be so bad. Worst case scenario, Sophia would just need to train a bit more and challenge it again. If that happened, Rheese would certainly have to follow suit...after he caught another Pokemon of course.

To be honest, I'm glad someone else is going first."[/color] Rheese said, fairly sure he wasn't the only one with that thought.

Lan received a page from the front counter of the gym telling him that a few potential challengers had just entered. Immediately knowing they would probably be the young people that had been involved in the Team Noble incident the day before he quickly made his way to the arena and sat down on his side of the arena. Several of his students observed from the stands, all with rapt attention.

It probably wasn't the best idea for those people to be challenging their first gym only one day after what they would probably consider a traumatic event. Lan's concern, however, would not get in the way of his duty as a gym leader. Perhaps a battle would be beneficial for them.
