"So who's first then?" she asked with a smile. "It shall be one of my pokemon against one of yours."

"Since I went first last time.. After you, Aro." Kjolmar took a seat where he could have a good look at the upcoming battle, flowers all around him. Beau seemed to feel restless somehow now that Belle had been retreated to her pokeball. Kjolmar patted him beneath his chin. "You two can play again soon but you have to learn that you can't be together twentyfour-seven." he whispered in comfort. Kjolmar could be a bit strict at times but he always had the best intentions. It was because of this quality that he had gotten so far with Gyarados.

While they waited for Aro's gym battle to begin, Kjolmar worried a bit about Phantump. She was so unpredictable that she had gotten him into trouble before. No wonder his sister Alice had her doubts about Phantump. Kjolmar knew he had to think of something to get that pokemon under control somehow. After all, he had mastered control over Gyarados so it had to be possible. Perhaps he should think of a special training programme for her.

When Gardenia sent out her pokemon, both Kjolmar and Beau started to focus on the battle in front of them. "Rooting for you, Aro!"
