[That she was.]

You did? [Her curiosity reaches through the pokegear, turning to excitement.] Congratulations, Tobias!

[...] Uh, Mahogany town?

[wing_attack]

Thanks! And... uh. It's an ice gym. That's bad for flying types...

[charcoalfeather]

[A quiet "aaah" reaches through the Pokegear's speakers.]

Well, that's not going to be a problem for you, right? All you need is a firey kind of Pokemon, and you, uh, have one of those right?

[wing_attack]

I... well I've got Ben, but I need to train him more. Otherwise, all my other fire types are flying as well. I think they're also weak to fighting, so maybe if I let Marco pound away at them I should be good? I guess I can just bring things that aren't weak to ice and hit them hard enough, but that's not the 'smart' tactic...

[charcoalfeather]

Okay, then it sounds like you're pretty prepared for this then! [She giggles.]

I'm preparing for my own gym battle, I think you should know!

[wing_attack]

Oh yeah? You should let me know how it goes. I'll be cheering for you from here!

[charcoalfeather]

You will? Thank you, Tobias!

[It feels nice to be cheered for. Works wonders with washing away some stress.]

Finally, I'll get the badge from Azalea town, and - oh, you got the badge here already, right?

[wing_attack]

Yeah, I did. But Flying types are really good against bugs, so...

[charcoalfeather]

I have those!

[charcoalfeather]

...I-I mean, I have my Dodrio, and some other flying type friends that can fight. So I might be prepared already.

[wing_attack]

Good, then you should be covered. He's really not so bad.

[charcoalfeather]

I hope so. And, uh, my pokemon have been training for a while...

[Is she over prepared? Perhaps.]

[wing_attack]

You're more than ready. I know you can take him.

[charcoalfeather]

You really think so? Thanks!

[she's touched!]

I'm sure I'll be fine.

[wing_attack]

Yeah. Let me know when you win, okay? I wanna hear all about it.

[charcoalfeather]

Of course I will! I'll tell you everything after I win!

[wing_attack]

I'm looking forward to it!

[charcoalfeather]

Okay! [Well, not a lot of places to go from here.]

So, uh, I just just checking in! I'd better get back to training if I really want to beat the gym, so... I'll see you later, okay?

[wing_attack]

Okay. Take care, Rakka!
