Really, she would have preferred to still be out in the streets, dancing and partying the night away. Still, Alisa bobbed her head to the beat that could be heard from within the stadium as she reclined on a couch next to Lanza. 

[b]"Sheesh. Kind of sucks we have to be in here instead of out there, huh?"[/b] She remarked offhandedly to the Honedge, who only hovered up and down for the moment before giving a "BOOP" sound. [b]"Oh, well."[/b] Alisa continued on, her mouth lifting up in a slight grin. [b]"It's what's after tonight that matters, anyways. This's what we've been training for!"[/b]

Alisa's attention turned towards the same display a certain Dragon trainer was watching, tilting her head in thought. She did remember following last year's Gym Challenge closely, as she had every year since she was a kid. Sure, that bunch had been spirited, but the last few gyms just filtered them out too well. Ah, well. She, Lanza, and whatever Pokemon they teamed up with along the way would just have to train hard enough that they didn't meet the same fate. 

[b]"You hungry, boy? I know there's not much negative emotion around tonight for a Ghost like you to feed off of, but maybe some of the other competitors're nervous enough to count."[/b] She glanced back over towards the Honedge, who quietly shook back and forth horizontally, mimeing a 'no' motion. Really, that was the convenient thing about Ghost types. Most fed off some kind of emotion, not needing much in the way of solid food. A good battle would generate enough for Lanza to feed off of, but she supposed they had to behave themselves tonight. Alisa sighed at the thought.

[b]"Man, this sucks that we have to wait around in here..."[/b] She whined out loud.
