[hr]
It was time. He had his team at their strongest, he was ready to go give this gym a shot. He raised his fist in the air, smiling at his posse of Pokemon. Seabreeze. Celebrity. Paradise. Jonathan. Mac. Smiley. If this was the beginning of a team that'd help Skylar make it into the books as one of the strongest trainers in all of Isson, he'd be more than happy to stand with this little squadron of birds and fairies. He was excited for the fight.

He stepped into the Gym, listened to the Gym Guide speak (both so he could feel happy and in case Skylar needed any pointers on the Gym) before he took a deep breath, turned to see his team again, and stepped into the room with his head held high. Win or lose, he was in it to have fun. If he lost, he could learn from it and grow stronger as a result. If he won, good! That's a badge in the bag and a victory under his belt. He was ready to rock and roll!

[hider=We've read this before, but...]
[quote=Lorette][color=7192de]‘I had a feeling I’d see one or two of you today. Hello, again. I’m Lorette, Gym Leader of Highhill Town,’[/color] [i]she introduced herself once again.[/i]

[color=7192de]‘I inherited this gym from my mother. She was a fierce fighter, who brought the often underestimated Bug-type into the Major League of Isson Pokémon Gyms. However, rather than hunting down my opponent with all my might like she used to do, I figure I’ll play nice. Being this close to Pureplain City, I’m often the first Gym Leader many young trainers face. It wouldn’t do to demoralize them, now, wouldn’t it?’[/color]

[color=7192de]‘However.’[/color]

[color=7192de]‘You’re not like them, are you? Sure, you’re a young Pokémon Trainer who has yet to get a badge of your own, but you’re not some overconfident child with no idea what he’s getting himself into. I’ve seen you training in town. I’ve also heard the talk that some kids managed to beat a couple Team Virtue members on Route 3. That was you, wasn’t it? I think… I might be able to let loose a little today.’[/color] [i]So she said, crossing her legs and smiling a happy, yet somehow dangerous, little smile.[/i]

[color=7192de]‘Six Pokémon, no items. One at a time. That should be fun, shouldn’t it? Correct me if I’m wrong, but you’ve never had a chance for a full team battle, have you?’[/color] [i]so she said, retrieving six Pokéballs and putting them to her left and right on the stairs.[/i]

[color=7192de]‘So, with that out of the way… Let’s start, shall we?’[/color][/quote][/hider]

[center][url=https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Ui6wp7VV9VU]Gym Leader Lorette would like to battle![/url][/center]
[quote=Lorette][color=7192de]‘Accelgor! You’re up first!’[/color][/quote]

Starting with a stronger bug type, eh? Well, if she was going to go all out, then starting with a powerhouse was definitely a smart idea. Still, she had her monologue, but Skylar hadn't even introduced himself yet. So... he guessed now was as good as a time as any.

[color=mediumslateblue]"I think we met at the Silent Shrine, but I'm Skylar in case you forgot! I didn't want to come into this gym without being at the top of my game, so I've made sure to help my team be as prepared as possible for this battle. We're coming in this fight not expecting to win or lose, but to come and bear witness to an opportunity for us to grow as trainer and team, even if I'm relatively new! Get ready, Lorette, because we're gonna give it our all!"[/color]

Skylar grabbed hold of his sunglasses, smiling from ear to ear, as he tore them off his face, revealing to Lorette and any audience members the cloudy gray of his eyes.

Skylar turned back to his team, snapping his hands towards his own first team member. [color=mediumslateblue]"You ready for your first real battle, Mac?"[/color]

[color=orange]"Tor~chic!"[/color] Mac smiled as he waddled forward, leaping as high as he could into the air before landing on the battleground with a puff of dust where he landed. Despite his small little frame, his eyes were emblazoned with a burning passion. He was ready to go!

[color=mediumslateblue]"Mac! Prepare to Ember, but watch out for Accelgor's speed! When he tries to hit you, let loose the Ember!"[/color] Skylar shot his hand out as he called his commands to Mac, his smile only widening as this battle got started!
