[Game Thread] Pokerole: Mount Coronet Mystery

[Dragonstrike]

Spoiler

Karen goes straight for the gym!

Music: Gym - Pokemon D/P/Pt


The interior is basically a huge skating rink!



Karen's greeted by the gym guide as she enters the building.

"Well, look who's here!  Wasn't expecting you to be challenging THIS gym so soon.  So, you think you're ready to face Snowpoint's Ice type trainers?  Fair Warning: they're a far cry from the Water and Fighting types you've already encountered.  They've been toughened by the cold they live and train in every day, and they won't hesitate to Freeze your pokemon on the spot."

Before we continue, I also need to know which 6 pokemon are in your party.

Her current team consists of:

-Magneton, who's ability for today is... Sturdy!
-Nidorina, Rivalry
-Mightyena, Moxie
-Rapidash, Flame Body
-Lotus, Natural Cure
-Lopunny, Cute Charm

Once Karen's confirmed to the Gym Guide that she is indeed challenging this gym, he nods to her enthusiastically.  "Alright!  That's exactly what I wanted to here!  You aren't one to back down from a challenge, are ya?"

He turns around and waves to the trainer standing on the pedastal at the far end of the ice rink.

"HEY CANDICE!  LOOKS LIKE YOU'VE GOT A CHALLENGER!"

The person on the pedastal waves back.

"Send 'em on over, then!  Candice's pokemon are all warmed up and ready to go!"

The gym guide turns back to Karen.

"Well, when you're ready, just slide on over to the pedastal and start chatting that lady over there up!  Trust me, she's as friendly as she looks."

Assuming you do...

Athletics check!  This ice is slippery!
1 Dex + 1 Survival + 1 Athletics
(5)(3)(2) 1 success.  Barely a pass.

Karen doesn't slip and fall on the ice, but she's not very graceful as she makes her way over to the gym leader.

The nice lady can't help but chuckle at the sight.  Her greeting's still polite, warm, and friendly, though.  The opposite of what you'd expect an Ice type trainer to sound like.

"Well, you're obviously not from around here.  What's your name, challenger?  If you want to challenge Candice, she wants to know who she's facing as well."

Karen might be a little confused by this person referring to the gym leader in the third person.  Is this not the gym leader?
