Tim petted his Rockruff’s head. The guy who’s leg Rocky nuzzled was nice enough about it. At least he didn’t go off on a tirade about how he needed to keep better control of his Pokémon or whatever. Tim bit his lip. [color=6ecff6]“Um… h-h-his name is Rocky… Um… Uh…”[/color] Tim began to say. He shuffled his feet and avoided making eye contact. Meeting new people was hard. But then so many things happened all at once. Tim became overwhelmed, and the guy ran off to check on an unconscious person that exited the Gym.

Meanwhile, Rocky lept out of Tim’s arms, and sniffed the other Rockruff that came out, and happily yapped back.

Meanwhile, Liam had no idea what he had just walked into. [color=f6989d]“Hey… everyone… I hope I didn’t come at a bad time… I’m Liam, Prince of Fairies! Self titled naturally.”[/color] He said with a wink and a grin. “I’m here to challenge the Gym, and participate in the contest coming up. Check these cuties out!” Again, Liam sent out all his Pokémon. Boo hid behind Liam’s leg, Primadonna blew some bubbles and jugglee them, excited to have a large audience, and Rarity whinnied and struck a pose. [color=f6989d]“They may be adorable, but they’re stronger than they appear. Just like me!”[/color]

Tim felt like he had faded into the background amongst all the people and Pokémon. Even Rocky was busy playing with the other Rockruff. Tim sighed, but he was used to this kind of thing at this point. Following Liam’s example, he also sent out his Pokémon. Though he didn’t draw attention to it. Bubbles the Wimpod also nervously hid behind his trainers leg. While Flora the Bayleef, sensing her trainer’s discomfort released a pleasant scent into the air, and nuzzled him. Tim appreciated it very much.
