The gym soon came into sight. Liam turned to ask Marnie if she wanted to go first, but she wasn't anywhere to be found. Two Yell grunts blocked the path to the stadium floor.
 "How did you get in here?" asked the female grunt.
 "Doesn't matter, we can't stop them from facing Piers now that they are here," said the other.
 Liam noticed that his Dynamax band wasn't acting like it normally did. "Interesting, does this gym not have a power spot?" Liam asked aloud.
 "That is correct," Said a voice from behind the heroes. a man with black and white hair walked up, wearing the same symbol as the Team Yell grunts. He introduced himself as a Piers, and explained that he is the only Galar Gym Leader that doesn't use Dynamax. He also apologized if Team Yell caused them any trouble across Galar, they see Marnie as a hometown hero and want to see her win.
