Alexis thought she was going to have a great day today. She met an idol in person, she was TOUCHED by that idol, and she was going to challenge the gym herself with a stronger team this time!...Then she was challenged by a random trainer. A trainer that focused all of his efforts into training his one Pokémon, which turned out to be VERY strong. It didn’t help that it had the advantage. Being a fighting type, it was able to take all manner of physical punishment, and the only Pokémon that was able to do any significant-looking damage was also very squishy. It took her entire team to beat that machop, so now Alexis found herself walking right back to the Pokémon center. She was not a fan of that type of training. She did not appreciate being ambushed by random trainers. And she did not like the fact that she had to go all the way back because of some random encounter that thought they could just show up and fight! 

Alexis took a deep breath. She just needed to make it to the Pokémon center, heal them up, and leave. No need for any small talk. Just go...
