Inside the gym, Andy looked around first, but there really was only one way to go. He walked further until they reached the gym. The only one he saw was a girl sweeping the floor.
"We've come for a battle," Andy announced.

Whitney looked up when she heard him. "Oh! Okay! We'll have a battle. I'm the gym leader here, my name is Whitney."

"I'm Andy. This here is Frosiien. And this one," he put his hand on Bear's head, "is the one that wants to fight you. One on One, your strongest against my Primeape."

"You've got a bit of a type advantage there," Whitney said as she took her Pokéball. "But that's okay. Miltank has swept the floor with many fighting types! Come to the field, Miltank!"

[i]"Oh yeah!"[/i] Bear exclaimed. [i]"Finally!"[/i]

Andy took place in the designated area and looked at the enthusiastic Primeape who was hopping from leg to leg.

Michael returned the look. "Not much. That it's some kind of gathering of Legendary Pokémon. Niccia didn't say a lot about it, just that she's excited to see everyone again. And she assured me I'd be welcome there. I have no idea what to expect, but she made it sound like a family gathering."

[i]"My pleasure,"[/i] Mabel replied, watching the city too. [i]"It is a modern and big city,"[/i] she agreed. [i]"Celadon and Saffron are similar. When it comes to view I much prefer the ocean. Water as far as you can see. I like to swim in it too."[/i] She glanced aside. [i]"Do you have a favourite location?"[/i]

"Contests are fun," Mindy said, "I prefer them over battles. But Blaze likes battling more than dancing." She laughed. "In a contest, you have to put up a show and you use attacks of Pokémon, but not to do damage. You have to dazzle the crowd with the moves. This Glitter-fountain over here," she gestured to Sparky, "would definitely score points. Blaze has his Ember-tornado. He makes circles with his tail while doing ember, so the embers spiral upwards. When he has the room to fly, he'll spin and be the center of the Ember-tornado. I won a fire-contest with that move once."
