 Well, Bianca [i]was[/i] supposed to be there with Holly.

 In truth, the ice-type leader arrived to root for Iris; and the trainers facing her, alone. When asked about her poisonous rival, she only shrugged and assumed something else cropped up. But with no sign of Ryker since the emergency meeting, Bianca couldn't help feeling a faint sense of dread. She chose to ignore it.

 Well, for now, her froslass was wanting to cheer on her fellow ghosts. Weiss floated beside Bianca, lightly snickering at the poor kid's spooked expression and Hestia's comment. Bianca rolled her eyes in response, but remained quiet. She felt a slight empathy for Timmy. [color=powderblue]"C-Come on, come on...you can do it..."[/color] It didn't seem like a fair matchup, but then again, having ghost types be the first major challenge never was fair. There had to be another way the kid could turn the tide, even on his last legs. Another strategy besides type advantages. She wanted him to reach [i]her[/i] gym so he could get a moment of respite from the scary stuff. Mika and Astrid were still invested too, while Sebastien gave up on Timmy too.

 Bianca could be heard mumbling to herself, trying to figure out any way the challenger could make it through. 

 [sub][color=powderblue]"Did he s-stock up on potions before this...? ...could p-probably tank through but he'd have to take out L-Lovely before it drains his p-pokemon out...does he h-have any moves that could boost their defense against g-ghost types...? Does he even have revives...?"[/color][/sub]
