A yawn dragged itself free as Isaiah wandered around the gym with Beau wandering behind him. He would've left the Herdier at home like he usually did, but the temptation to have a companion that was not pestering him all throughout his work took over. He had already set up most of the maze, planned out the route that was quickest, and told his trainers where they should be. He had set Lurch to coordinating where his benched team would be wandering the maze. Most of them were just meant to scare the trainers in the right direction unless someone was stupid enough to try and fight a Krookodile.

Not a single challenger had made it past Iris yet, though they were just starting. He'd have to work with her when she was free to see if there were any ghost types she wanted to send his way for this season. If that was the case he could keep some of his team in the wings to swap in later. He knew she was busy with the early challengers and, while he wanted to go watch, he needed to make sure everything was in place.

His team was scattered about the gym either training, or relaxing in the case of Jasper and Apollo. Keeping busy was the easiest way to avoid people pestering him as they had for the past week. He paused in his review of the maze when his phone rang. He didn't even get out a hello before Cane's voice shouted over the phone, making him pull it away from his ear with a wince. He listened to the frantic voice on the other side, but before he could get any questions in the call ended.

[color=0076a3][b]"Shit."[/b][/color] Someone had broken into the lab for what? Maybe it something to do with Ryker's disappearance? Questions and answers could wait though, if they were calling the gym leaders in it must be bad. He whistled sharply for his team and pulled them into their pokeballs as he walked briskly towards the entrance to the gym, [color=0076a3][b]"Lurch!"[/b][/color] the Pangoro looked in his direction, [color=0076a3][b]"You're in charge while I'm gone. Don't let Leo break anything."[/b][/color] The dark type gave him a nod as he left, locking the gym up for good measure.

He huffed out a breath, why did this season have to be such a pain? He didn't feel like waiting on a taxi, this seemed far too urgent, so he freed Zhanna from her confines. The Hydregion stretched out her three heads and butted against his chest. He gave her a quick pat, [color=0076a3][b]"We need to fly quick, come on."[/b][/color] While he wasn't as confidant at flying as Fiona was he had done his fair share during his own challenger days.

Hitting the ground running once he made it to the lab he pulled Zhanna back into her ball. While he didn't put much stock in the police of Galar they did have the numbers. If they were struggling then it must be bad. He couldn't see any of the other gym leaders, most of them were at Iris' battle if he remembered correctly, but if he could track down Cane that'd be good enough.
