Charmaine was one to normally waste time, but not with battles. Especially if they were important. She quickly bursted into the gym after fighting this roller-skater outside, who had also offered her a pair of the dreaded things. She had declined of course, walking would do just fine for now. Jill was resting in her hood, but was still ready to fight for their badge. Now, where was that gym leader?

[ hmm. sounds good. ]

Unfortunately for Jasper, he had to go back through the tall grass again, encountering a few other Pokémon. Still, not wanting to waste the chance to gain experience, both the boy and his Froakie were obliged to fight. Hence, now a level higher, Neo and Jasper exited the route and walked back to Santalune. There, Jasper saw a few people, one of which was on rollerskates. Typically, Jasper would ask for a battle, but he instead went to the Pokécenter. "I'd like to have my Pokémon healed," he said to the nurse once Neo was back in his ball. After the healing, Jasper decided it was high time he tackled the gym. He talked to the man at the gym entrance, then slid down the rope into the gym. He noticed a familiar figure not too far away.

" The battle consisting of the gym leader Viola, and the challenger Charmaine. Both trainers may use two pokemon, but only the challenger may substitute pokemon. " Announced the ref. Jill made her way onto the battlefield, while a Surskit appeared on Viola's side. The leader then ranted something about taking a shot of victory, but Charmaine hardly payed attention. She was scanning the battlefield for anything that might give them an advantage. Apart from the trees that dotted the edge, it was pretty much empty.

Jasper noticed Charmaine battling the gym leader; no surprise. He'd never gained enough confidence to battle unless he was a good few levels higher than his expectations for the gym leader. From the corner of his eye he watched the battle as he himself fought a couple other trainers at the gym. Viola's minions, he called them. By the time he was done, Neo was level 14, and all that stood between Jasper and Viola was Charmaine. The male trainer grinned. This battle would be interesting.

" Aha! " Charmiane snapped her fingers as the battle finally begun, having had an epiphany. A battle plan had come to mind, as she hadn't thought of one before. " You ready Jill?" A nod on the Chespin's behalf, though Viola had quickly stated he move already, before she could hers. The battlefield slowly turn to ice, which didn't faze her. Her plan still worked, with or without it.

Cordelia entered Santalune City, and smiled widely once she saw the place. She was so ready for the next gym. Tant would have a bit of a problem taking down Viola's Surskit, but her Vivillon would be fairly easy to defeat. First, though, she had to go to the Pokemon Center and heal Tant a bit - he was a bit hurt from their battles. He was stronger now though, which is good, she had trained him up a bit so he was hopefully a bit stronger then the Surskit, so it'd be easier to take down with just a few Scratches. Then the Vivillon would be easy enough, because of the type advantage.

With little to do but wait, Jasper hung back a little, but he excitedly watched as Charmaine fought Viola. It looked to him that Chow was on the less fortunate side, but of course that didn't fool him; she had that effect ton people, according to him. Any moment now, the tables would turn, and she'd spring back to the advantage.

While the first stage of her plan had originally had been to use vine whip to catch Surskit, it had proven harder to catch than she thought. But just as she doubted her preparation for the battle, their oppent had stopped. " Good work Jill! Now aim carefully and use rollout. " After a well placed vine, Surskit had tripped, and then quickly ensnared. It didn't last long after that, having been hit three times by rollout.
" Surskit is unable to battle! "

Although Jasper didn't cheer, he felt like doing it, minus the fact that he didn't have that loud a voice anyway. He watched on with an uneasy feeling in his belly that Charmaine wouldn't win, but as soon as he saw her take the Surskit down he felt more certain that this battle would end with her gaining a new badge — her first. Then Jasper would take his turn and end in a similar way, he hoped. He was already twitching with anticipation, and so was Neo. They wouldn't lose to Viola.

Cordelia reached the Pokemon Center, and went inside, where she was greeted by Nurse Joy. She put the Fennekin in his pokeball, and handed it to the nurse, who said he would be good to go in just a bit. So she waited, and surely enough, he was ready, all healed up and fired up, ready for the gym! She eagerly took the pokeball - they were ready, they would win, they would walk away with their first badge today. Their real starting point as a true trainer. She had faith in Tant, that he would be strong enough to win, even with them having to deal with that Surskit first. "Won't be much of a trouble for us...we've trained, I'm sure you'll be able to take the gym on easily, Tant." She spoke to the pokeball, acting like he could hear her, and she grinned before heading over to the gym.
