There was the distinct sound of wings beating as Joseph sat on the back of his Corviknight, Hermes. [i][color=d18e54]"I swear, like a billion people just crawled  out of the woodwork for this gym challenge. I don't think I've ever had that many challengers."[/color][/i] Joseph gripped the steel feathers of Hermes slightly harder, as a signal to speed up. [i][color=d18e54]"Well, at least there's no sky police. I imagine we'd probably be speeding right now."[/color][/i]

At last the city of Motosoke was with landing distance. There was a large group of people all gathered around the stadium, many here to see the champion. Looking closer, Liam and his bright pink outfit stuck out like a sore thumb. Looks like the other leaders were here, too. Hopefully he wasn't [i]too[/i] late.

He had considered coming as Eden, rather than as himself, but decided that for such a large event dressing up might not be the best idea. Not to mention, Hermes would probably be a lot slower if he was wearing such heavy armor. That, and he had been slightly paranoid of flying with it on after his helmet flew off during a flight. It ended up hitting someone's Wooloo, but fortunately the Wooloo barely noticed it with all of its thick wool. He let the trainer keep the helmet as a means of apology, and autographed it, just on the off chance he ever got famous. 

Hermes descended from the sky near the crowd, before quickly being returned to his poké ball. Approaching the crowd, Joseph spotted the group of leaders, mostly due to Liam's bright pink outfit, and Hestia's Charizard. He walked to the group with his arms out to his sides before speaking. [i][color=d18e54]"'Sup nerds! Guess who!"[/color][/i] Joseph put his arms down. [i][color=d18e54]"Sorry I'm late, there were an innumerable number of challengers for some strange reason. Maybe I'm cursed or something."[/color][/i] Joseph shrugged. [i][color=D18e54]"So, did I miss anything important?"[/color][/i]
