On the morning of May 21st, Chie Satonaka decided to challenge the Goldenrod Gym. It was a very spur-of-the-moment thing. She'd just leaned into the breeding center and said, "Hey, guys, I think I'm gonna go hit the gym. Anyone wanna come watch?" So she'd gathered up a few of her friends and made the trip over. She hadn't done any research on Whitney's team and their abilities, or even asked anyone what to expect.
This would come back to bite her.
"Yo! Champ in the making!" a bushy-haired man said as Chie approached, Hitmonlee at her side and the rest of her current line-up following close behind. "This Gym is home to Normal-type Pokémon Trainers. I recommend you use Fighting-type Pokémon."
Chie and Bruce looked at each other, and Chie smirked. She didn't need anyone to tell her that. She was still learning type advantages, but there was one she'd memorized a long time ago: Fighting > Normal. "You wanna handle this, Bruce?" The Hitmonlee just grinned with his eyes and nodded, ready to attack.
... And indeed, once they made their way to the leader of the gym, the first two rounds were embarrassingly one-sided. Bruce had the type advantage and the level advantage, and Whitney's Girafarig and Clefable were knocked out in one shot each. "Oooh, you won't get away with this, you mean old tomboy, you!" Whitney fumed. "Go, Miltank! Use Attract!"
( That was where things started to go haywire... [Wow, this got long, hahaha.] )
"Finally." Chie sighed, Shadow following behind her as she walked across the field to pick up her Pokégear. She managed to smile a little as she flashed the badge at the camera:
...and then shut the feed off.
[OOC: Badge approved by the mods, of course!]
