[color=9e0b0f]"He's definitely gone."[/color] Hammer said quietly. With Ray's sister in town, it was almost a guarantee that the psychic had left. [color=9e0b0f]"And those kids haven't left...I don't doubt that Rachel would step in if I tried to talk to them."[/color] He inwardly cursed as he remembered how easily Ray had wiped the floor with him. 

He watched some of the others enter Mesalon's gym. [color=9e0b0f]"This is ridiculous, between Rachel and Lan these kids are practically unreachable."[/color] He said slightly disgruntled.

His camera crew had already swapped out the equipment from the day before and were set to film at a moment's notice. For now, however, he watched for any of the 'persons of interest' to separate from their groups. One of them clearly knew something, they had to. Team Noble didn't just attack random people...at least he didn't think so. Perhaps there was something else going on?

[color=bc8dbf]"Well, if everyone is ready...Oh, of course! None of you have any gear!"[/color] Rachel said running for the PC. After she clicked around and typed a few things in a few packs filled with spelunking gear warped into the room. Rachel owned quite a few sets just for this kind of occasion.

She quickly passed a pack to each of the trainers. Each pack had a basic mining kit and other essentials. [color=bc8dbf]"These packs have just about everything you'll need! I should say now though, these are just loaners. I'll need them back once we're done."[/color]

Lan walked into the gym's arena, as he had been informed at least one of the trainers present were probably interested in taking the challenge. Of course that meant that nobody had officially challenged the gym yet, but the possibility was there. 

He assumed the opponent would be among the group that had challenged him the day before and withdrew the appropriate pokemon for such a battle before returning to his spot on the far side of the battlefield.
