Sure, it was great that it wasn't required that he needed to battle her to get some answers, but he was not out of trouble yet; he could feel the judging eyes of Anise burning into the back of his skull. For some reason he felt like if he didn't challenge the gym leader now then she would lose whatever respect she had for him. [color=8882be]"Actually, since I'm already here... Sure, may as well challenge you. If you have time to talk afterwards that."[/color] Perhaps it was not a good idea to be peer pressured into challenging a gym, but it was a bit too late to take back his words now.
