You arrive midday in Spartaco City, one of Kildare's oldest cities. You walk through the cobbled streets as the scent of fresh bread from the nearby bakery guides you to your lunch spot. You and Willa split some of Clyde Bakery's region famous sandwiches as you comb over the city's map to find the gym! Getting a late start from your campsite this morning, you both feel well rested and ready to take on the gym after lunch.

You make your way up the stairs past countless museums, fossil labs, and cafes to find your way to the gym. Tala is the fighting type specialist and, though she has an indoor battlefield, she prefers to use the outdoor one in the courtyard which just so happens to be one of the first designated pokemon battlegrounds in the world! As you enter the courtyard of the gym, you notice that a battle is just beginning between Tala and another gym trainer, so you figure you have a bit of time before you'd be able to challenge her. You and Willa decide to explore some of the historic shops and buildings around the gym in the meantime.

As you turn left of the gym, you notice a somewhat crumbling building surrounded by many bright and colourful signs for some organisation called The CUNUE RIFT DOJO saying things like:

"Did you just lose your gym battle? That's okay! Join our traveling dojo's training camp!"

"Wan't to be a pokemon master? We can teach you!"

"Take our crash course to make your pokemon stronger!"

Out of sheer boredom more than anything you decide to check it out. You're somewhat shocked at the sheer number of young trainers inside. You start asking around and learn that all these trainers have been loosing repeatedly in their gym battles with Tala and that the Dojo popped up at the perfect time since they'd been finding it difficult to train with all the battling restictions in place to prevent damage to historical buildings. It seems like these dojo masters are here to offer some guidance to these battle deprived trainers. It seems innocent enough, but you can't help but get the creeps from the place. You think maybe its just because of the creaky old building and brush the feeling off.

After a little while, you track Willa down in the crowd where she is happily chatting it up with some of the dojo's new recruits. You steal her away to head back down the road towards the gym. You are happy to find that the battlefield is open and Tala is ready for your challenge!

Notes:

It's time for your gym battle with Tala!

Your pokemon are level 35

What's up with that dojo anyway? And what a weird name...

With your unexpected gift tucked away securely in your bag, you hop off the train in Yorett as planned. You are eager to start seeking our mega stones to increase your strength, but you reel it in, realising that this small, sleepy town probably won't have what you're looking for.

Relieved to be back on the seashore in warm sunny weather, you're ready for your relaxing stroll over to Spartaco City for your next gym battle against Tala, the fighting type specialist.

The costal path boasts gorgeous views of the ocean on one side, and wide open fields of sweet smelling wildflowers on the other. You hope to catch another pokemon along the way, maybe even one that could help you beat Tala!

Notes

Your pokemon will grow to level 35 on this route!

The possible encounter types:

Grass, Water, Fire, Psychic

You may pick one mint (of your choice) along the way!

You find a leaf stone!

After losing her first attempt at the gym battle, Willa restrategises and takes on the gym again later in the afternoon, securing herself a Lost badge. You return to the pokemon center afterwards and pack up your things to head for the next gym.

A walk to the Spartaco City would take you through the thick of Kildare's manufacturing district, known for its heavily crowded streets and somewhat foul smell. You and Willa opt to take the train to the peaceful seaside town of Yorett and walk the rest of the way to the next gym, rather than trekking through the factory smog all the way there.

The train is quite crowded, and you and Willa aren't able to find an empty room to yourselves. You sit down in the emptiest car you can find, which has two older gentlemen in it who both seem to be in a deep sleep. Trying not to disturb them, you and willa keep your pokemon in their balls and chat quietly.

Willa confides in you that she feels disappointed in herself for losing her first battle against Junie. You try to comfort her, reminding her that many people who don't win on their first try never manage to pull of a win, but Willa regrouped and got stronger. It seems to make her feel a bit better as she faintly smiles and thanks you.

You continue to chat about all of the battling you've had and you discuss strategy for taking on the rest of the gyms, but more importantly any future inc grunts you may come across.

All of a sudden, you realise that the two sleepy men are stirring. They seem to be more awake now and a bit giggly with one another.

One of them looks at you and asks "So, you two are pokemon trainers is that right? Well, are you any good?"

Willa still seems a bit defeated thinking about her initial loss to Junie, so you decide you should be the one to respond.

Your task: Respond to the man's question

Reward: ?????
