Ty smiled when Oscar mentioned his contest goals. He was right, they did have some key similarities.

[color=0072bc]"Yeah, that'd be cool,"[/color] Ty responded. [color=0072bc]"Maybe we could combine ideas from the different styles."[/color]

Depending on where Oscar was headed next, Ty figured it might be worth thinking about traveling with him for a while. The open road was always safer and more fun with more people.

The punk listened as the two trainers gave him advice about the gym battle.

[color=0072bc]"I don't have any of those types..."[/color] Ty told Sophia. [color=0072bc]"But I'll try to remember that if I get any later. I can remember most of the weaknesses, but resistances are harder."[/color]

Ty turned back to Oscar.

[color=0072bc]"Yeah, it would be impressive to [i]win[/i] that way. But if I went for the style points and [i]lost,[/i] I'd just look stupid. I'd like to try at least [b]one[/b] gym battle before I look stupid."[/color]

Ty chuckled lightly and continued.

[color=0072bc]"So I think I'll just try for brute strength at first. That's kinda Hunk's whole thing, after all. If that fails... then I'll have to plan for the dramatic 'underdog beats the champion against all odds' thing."[/color]

The blond looked toward Sophia. With the way she introduced herself, she seemed ambitious, too.

[color=0072bc]"So, Sophia. What's your goal?"[/color]
