Amber quickly followed Church and Marshall's lead to the nurse's counter, making sure she avoided eye contact with the younger girl. She hated how star struck she was with a novice trainer. She couldn't help but see Gary Oak in much of the girl's stature and attitude. Yes that's what it was, Scarlett was just a placeholder for the real highlight of Amber's day. Though she couldn't help but wonder why so much of Scarlett's father seemed to influence her as opposed to her mother. Amber racked her brain trying to remember Gary Oak's partner...

Ignoring the blockhead, Scarlett grinned back at Churchill. "Well, if you're sure about it - I'll see ya later!"With that and a cheery wave, she departed the Pokemon Center, leaving the group to their own devices. That's the end of that, I think. After the battle, Buzz's going to want to have some words with y'all.

The group had a great night's rest in the pokemon center, and headed out early in the morning to catch a few additional pokemon from Route 22. They had great success, and nearly lost track of time. By the time they ran to the center and got healed, Scarlett and her friends were already assembled on Route 22, safely away from town. The group fared very well in their individual fights, and all were successful! Marshall even successfully reached a uneasy understanding with Scarlett, perhaps even making up? The group was informed that Buzz wished to speak with them, and after healing at the Center once more, they made their way across town to see him. As the gym's dome crested in the distance:
Marshall had been quiet for a while after speaking with Scarlett, as though he was deep in thought. "I wonder if Aria is having a rough go of it also? This whole League-rules-all-the-time-no-exceptions thing is intense. Hopefully she doesn't get into trouble." He seems to be talking to himself.

Amber had her face glued to her pokedex's monitor. She occasionally looked up through the screen of the camera feature before going back to various filters and menus. Chime floated next to her, given the instructions to pipe up if he noticed Amber about to run into anyone/anything. Although Amber was rather talented in multitasking while traveling, she still wanted an extra pair of eyes watching out as she took more pictures of the city. While deleting a few of her blurry pictures, Amber found a bit of pride in some of them. Originally she just wanted to perfect her focus (the Gary Oak snap had been a bit underwhelming), but she was growing rather fond of the few clear shots of buildings. "Might as well keep a few" she thought as she queued a few pictures to her blog. Mechanics: Drain 1AP for Travel Archive

Church was very satisfied with his recent battle. Against all odds, Tensho had managed to defeat both of Scarlett Oak, the battling prodigy's Pokémon. He healed him at the Center again and headed for the Gym. As they walked, he thought about his battle with Scarlett. Her expression after losing had soured his victory somewhat. He had never seen such disappointment over losing. He had been really lucky, exploiting oportunities rather than tactically thinking to achieve victory. It didn't feel satisfying to him, either, and wondered if he could somehow make it up to her, or say something that would make her feel better.
He didn't notice he was worriyng so much about the feelings of someone he had just met yesterday.
He noticed Marshall was mumbling to himself. A rare, thoughtful moment which contrasted his reckless, brash attitude.
Hmmm? What's that, Marshall? Did you say... Aria? What's that? Church asked the thoughtful lad.

"Oh nothing. Aria's my sister. I'm kind of looking for her somewhere in Kanto. She's probably more perturbed by this whole "no contact" thing than I am. Sis is a fighter, through and through."
Marshall jogs the last few feet to the door of the gym and holds it open for the others. "Nothing to worry about though. I'm sure she's fine."

"You came here looking for your sister? Do you know where exactly she might be?" He thought on Marshall's words for a moment. "Wait, what do you mean she's a fighter? If she's a fighter then... what does that make you?"
He was having trouble imagining someone even more battle-driven than Marshall.

Amber was about to put away her pokedex when she overheard two of the boys talking. She felt a bit awkward hearing that Marshall didn't know where this Aria person was. She struggled bringing up a few websites on mobile, but began tapping away, completely ignoring the opened door in front of her. "If your sister is anything like yourself, she should be causing quite the splash. Marshall what's your last name a...gain?" Amber trailed off seeing the inside of the gym. She paused before stepping towards the open door. "Er, looks like the wifi's down around here, I'll look her up when we're back at the Pokemon Center." She said with an awkward smile.

"Yeah, my sister doesn't really fight the same as me, but don't for a second think she couldn't whoop my ass. She's incredible!" Marshall's eyes widen as he talks about Aria. "Young. Last name is Young." Marshall smiled at the thought Amber might be able to find something. "I don't know if you can pull her up though. She came out here to get some space after... some stuff happened. Anyways, we're here now. Maybe we can talk more about this later."

"A good place to look would probably be Saffron City. I heard that it had a fighting type gym before Sabrina showed up and brained them all away." Terry says, checking his pokedex. "So, whats next? We challenging Buzz or just getting a look beforehand?"

Although the outside was a largely unremarkable building, save for its green, yellow, and black paint scheme, inside the Gym was a different story. Huge trees supported the glass dome, their arching branches spreading leaves over to shade the floor in dappled sunlight much like a forest floor. In the center of the Gym was an enormous hivelike structure, a terraced construction resembling nothing so much as a three-tier wedding cake. Each of the layers was an irregular floor seemingly made of beeswax, with a network of ropes strung from one layer to the next.
The Gym’s foyer, much like every Gym in Kanto, was a concrete platform flanked by a pair of statues - in this case, Beedrills. With short stairways descending to the grassy floor, it provided the party a means to surveil the Gym and the route to the hive in the middle.

i1298.photobucket.com/albums/ag43/Nido_Nido_Nido/Amber%20profile_zpsi5h6z4n6.png The pokedex's focus could hardly keep up with Amber's shutter finger. As soon as she stepped into the gym constant clicks were heard through the strangely quiet gym. Amber began to quickly mumble to herself, "The Kanto League. The building that hosts an official Kanto Gym Leader. Of the Kanto League. The only thing that would make this complete is-"Amber stopped in her tracks. She glanced around the gym with fervor, trying to note every nook and cranny seen from the foyer. She slowly turned back to her companions. She wanted to just sound passionate, but instead came across rather threatening, "Where's Buzz?"

Church eyed his surroundings, looking for a hint of movement. His initial wave of excitement, the feeling he was inches away of an opportunity to test his developing strength was quickly quieted by they Gym's eerie lack of inhabitants. He heard Amber mutter something in a tone that made him doubt the girl's sanity.
But even lost in her obsession, Amber was right. There was nobody here.
"More like 'Where's everybody?'. This place is empty from the look of it. Not even trainers or staff...it's really quiet. Maybe Buzz went out on an errand? Is it a Sunday? Do Gyms even close on Sundays?"

"Maybe he's attending to the hives? Or this is his day off and he forgot to lock up." Terry says confused, trying to remember if this had happened before. "Or maybe his current challenger is a mime. They're pretty creepy."

"Well, we won't learn anything waiting around here. Buzz called for us, so he's bound to be here somewhere." Marshall strides out of the foyer and to the base of one of the ropes. If Marshall doesn't see anyone, he'd begin to climb to the top.

Even with Marshall climbing to the top, the group was unable to turn up hide or hair of anyone - be they trainer or Pokemon. Evidently, the Gym was completely empty, and not only that but they neglected to leave notice of where they had gone.
Fortunately, after a few minutes of fruitless searching, the towheaded boy Amber had faced in the match against the Academy students entered the Gym. He smiled apologetically when he saw them. "Oh, I guess you guys are looking for Buzz? He's out in Viridian Forest. There's been a problem with his hives."

From his vantage point, he spotted the boy walk in, but couldn't hear what he was saying. Eager to get back into the action, Marshall leaped off the top... and landed without injury, although perhaps lacking grace. "What'd he say?" N7v5Mskn3-18 3-18

Church had already turned to answer the boy, but a sudden impact on the ground nearby that quickly got up and asked him what the boy had said interrupted him.
He staggered at the sudden landing and quickly regained his balance.
"He said that Buzz's in Viridian Forest, apparently attening a problem with his hives." He turned to face the boy and asked "Do you know anything else? Maybe in which part of the Forest he is? We should probably help him out."
That way, they'd get their Badges and Buzz would get his problem solved. Win-win.

Amber instinctively jumped at the sound of Marshall landing from the beewax structure. She worried for a second before seeing him bounce back up and turned her attention back to the Trainer she had battled earlier that day. "Thanks for the heads up, Brandon." Amber replied. She was a little disappointed though. The first gym battle of her journey should be in a League sanctioned area, not the forest she was already worried about going through. She nodded at Church's comment and checked the time on her pokedex. "If we go over to help him now, we might be able to still squeeze in our gym battles before this place closes. Depending how long his hives need fixing."

Terry's eyes light up when he hears'Viridian Forest'. "Awesome, I can add even more bugs to my team before the battle! Maybe even a Beedrill of my own. And see how the hives are set up! " He pauses and notices the others aren't as enthused. "Come on guys, no time to lose!" He yells as he starts sprinting for the door
