Lancer hates to lose and thinks of itself as a knight. Does not ever back down from a duel. Level: 12 Moves: Peck, Leer, Endure Ability: Swarm Held Item: None [/hider] [/hider] [/center] Wait, she was bowing to him? Uh, actually he had no idea how to react to this. He held his hands up almost as if he was ready to push her away, leaning slightly back. [color=8882be]"Uh, wait you don't have to thank me! It was all totally random; I picked to investigate this on a whim."[/color] Well, whatever. They were on their way out of the Rainrock. There wasn't anything of note while they travelled to Highhill Town and there wasn't anything that caught his eye when they arrived. The two of them were in town for the gym and they immediately made a b line towards it, which Basil assumed was the biggest building in town. What he didn't expect for there to be a moat surrounding the building so yeah, that was a thing. Basil read the sign and said, [color=8882be]"Huh, Bug-Types huh? I think I- Ah!"[/color] He yelped in surprise from the sudden appearance of a man that was familiar with Anise. He didn't have any ill will towards them. Maybe he just has a flair for the dramatics? [color=8882be]"Actually she probably knew we were coming..."[/color] He said in response to his talk about destiny approaching. The gym guy went on to give his expose on how the gym system worked in this region and the general advice he had for the type match up for the Pokemon that Lorette specialized in. The thing is that Basil was already very much quite aware of how the gyms worked already and was pretty knowledgeable of type match ups, mainly because he was a fan of watching battles and watched plenty of documentaries of wild Pokemon, but gym guy was so into it that he did not have the heart to stop him. [color=8882be]"Uh, thank you very much. Have a nice day."[/color] Basil awkwardly said before he quickly walked his way down the bridge. He found himself in a dark room that was eerily reminiscent of a shrine and lo and behold, Lorette was there. She had expected that they would arrive considering what had happened in Rainrock last night. [color=8882be]"Why do I get the feeling that you won't tell me unless I beat you in a gym battle?"[/color] Lorette didn't make it easy for him before, why would she now?
