"Yes, when I started out as gym leader, the fairy type wasn't even a classified type!" Whitney explained. "I mean, sure, some pokemon were extra super cute and whimsical in ways that other normal types weren't, but they certainly didn't fit any of the other types we knew at the time. That includes my cute little clefairy here! I mean, they have always said that their kind might have originated from space! But to me, she was just adorable and wonderful." She thought about it for a bit, "As for miltank...yeah, she always was less...odd than clefairy? But they are both pink and cute, so why wouldn't they both be normal?" Whitney shrugged. "Some folks have called me out on not having a monotype gym anymore like a 'proper' gym leader, but like... Excuse you! Gyms don't have to be monotype, they just typically are. It's rather on trend in places like Paldea and I hear even one of the gyms in Unova has mixed types!"
She was a little off topic now as she cleared her throat, "Anyway, so that's why I'd say I am the 'Cutie Gym Leader' rather than the 'Normal Type'." She posed and winked a little cheekily. "And this cuteness is totally strong! Clefairy, show her what you've got in metronome!"

Confirmation slipped from the pink-haired Gym Leader’s lips, causing Mishu’s face to brighten. A soft smile crawled over their edges and shrugged easily into place. She nodded, taking quiet mental notes while listening to what Whitney had to say. “I suppose if you aren’t aware of what you’re looking for…” The soft words like baby’s breath barely breathed life between them as Mishu considered her words with a hum. “They would just seem like normal types compared to everything else we know…albeit a bit odd…” She giggled, those rich honey hued eyes warming into champagne drops.
Two large black wings stretched out like an omen. They soared high above attached to the stocky bird whose sharp eyes searched the battlefield below them for their next target. She was growing restless, anxious. Heart immediately swooped up onto a nearby rafter above and landed, tucking her wings at her sides. The large orange beak slipped between the many feathers that coated her body and quietly plucked away some of the damaged and broken ones. With a loud ‘ptui’, heart spat the feathers out of her beak and allowed them to flutter back down onto the battlefield below. “So much damage. Hard fight. Must recover.” She mumbled to herself.
“Heart, come back down here and greet your friend!” Heart glanced over with a slight glare. The battle raged on, causing the small pink puff to bounce forward with its fingers raised up in the air. Mishu once read about this strange move that was well known within the Clefairy species line. She marveled slightly seeing it in action. Two powerful black wings unfolded and sent the large black mass soaring in the air once more. She swooped down and slammed one of her wings, now glowing with a strange metallic sheen, into Clefairy.
The blow would knock her opponent backwards across the ground with a loud growl and an immediate loss in her will to fight. Mishu turned, a single raised eyebrow in the direction of the small fairy. “Still, I’m curious. What were some of the oddities you noticed with Clefairy early on? Perhaps its penchant for calling moves it otherwise should never have been able to known, perhaps?” It was true that Mishu wasn’t as well versed in such a move. She rarely came across its usage within her own teams, so seeing it in action was quite a breathtaking experience, even if it was cut way too short. Maybe she could ask for a demonstration outside of battle later?
"So since the discovery, you've moved on from being a monotyped Gym Leader?" She asked curiously. What an interesting turn of events. Heart landed back on the rafters once more and went back to diligently plucking away at her feathers. The glare cast at Mishu was enough to tell her trainer she’d seen enough of the battlefield for now. Mishu nodded, turning to the small bear whose stomachache warranted a quick run to the Pokemon Center recently, only to find out she would be ok. “Ok, Civet, it’s your turn!” Mishu called to her friend and watched the tiny puffball of a panda hop out in front of her opponent. As soon as she appeared, a bright light enveloped Civet’s entire form.
Civet’s body stretched out and, in an instance, Civet went from a Pokemon whose height was comparable to toddlers to a massive bear that towered over the heights of most men. Her short, stubby arms shot out thicker and longer from her body, along with her legs. They were packed now with muscles that seemed to bulge as though they could break out of her body underneath her thick, black-and-white fur. Her midsection now had a rich white layer of fur between the patches of black along her limbs and backside. “Oh, this is nice! Look at me!” She commented excitedly. Mishu nodded in quiet agreement with Whitney's statements. "I've heard that Paldea tend to have a different typing than their Gym with their Ace Pokemon? And it can...what did they call it? Transform into that type or something?" She asked curiously.
Mishu turned to Civet in shock and awe. So the rumors about her species’ type were true. When introduced in a group of fellow dark-type Pokemon, it unlocked a part of their DNA and allowed them to evolve into the Dual-typing as well. “My friend here who just evolved…” Mishu giggled with a wide smile. “Anyways, her name is Civet. I’ve been studying the effects that Dark Type Pokemon have on Pancham and their evolution, and I think we’ve all witnessed that effect here and now?” She asked Whitney rather redundantly. “Civet, let’s show Whitney’s next friend what our Vital Throw is like, ok?” The large bear growled in a low, gruff voice. “With pleasure! Let me at them!” And a wide smirk.

Whitney winced as her clefairy was sent flying by that powerful steel wing. She lunged forward and caught her adorable partner, pouting when she saw her fainted already. Just one hit from that big, dumb bird...urg. She schooled her expression quickly though as she her clefairy roused, still dazed and unable to continue battling. "Unusual things I noticed? Hm. I suppose her ability to call on strange moves from nowhere is pretty odd, but other normal types who aren't fairy can do that. Like munchlax, for example! Er, I suppose that is the only normal type who can learn that without a TM, but still, it can! And there is nothing cosmic or weird about them, they just eat a lot." She plopped the clefairy carefully down to watch from the sidelines, giving her a berry to nibble on as she watched. "And yeah, I guess you could say I've sorta 'moved on' from being just a normal type gym leader. I still have a theme though. I mean, look around? Isn't everything positively adorable?" She struck a girlish pose with a giggle before considering Mishu's words about Paldea. She nodded. "That is what I heard. Like, with that transforming stuff, any pokemon could be a normal type...or a normal type could be any type! Gyms are here to test and give trials, not be like, shoved in a box. And anyway, people might start calling us predictable if we never switched things up~" She winked. Though, when she saw the big, hulking brute that came out next...she grimaced. Ew. Okay uggo. "Dark types huh? Wow...it's...really... impressive?" She threw a ball. "But nothing that we can't handle! Miltank, show them the power of perfect pink pokemon with a stomp!"

Mishu nodded along quietly. Would she notice the difference in a Pokemon that wasn’t originally Dark Type, if it were reclassified as such? Their proclivity to the nighttime hours of the day wasn’t exactly unique and many normal types of Pokemon also had access to many of the same Dark Type moves. It was an interesting thought. “That’s a fair point.” Mishu nodded quietly with a soft hum as she reflected on the various Pokemon species. “Normal Type doesn’t have many weaknesses….but also doesn’t seem to have many resistances.” Mishu commented aloud as she thought.
She turned to the powerhouse of her bear, who stomped out onto the field with a wide smile. Civet’s main typing would prove useful in the moment, which Mishu quietly hoped to capitalize on. The large panda turned her white head with blacked-out markings around her eyes to Miltank and raised one hand up, pointing at her opponent. She would then flip her hand over so that her fingers pointed towards the ceilings and waved the fingertips, signaling for Miltank to approach. Confidence fueled her in her new form. “Heh. Are you ready for this, little one?!” Civet snapped, her voice oozing with overconfidence of the moment. She felt so much power in her new form and saw the world from a totally different viewpoint at her new height.
“Adorable is in the eye of the beholder, though, isn’t it?” Mishu asked with a wink. How could you objectively measure what everyone was supposed to find adorable, after all? It was impossible. Some people found the ugly faces of popularly termed ‘bug-eyed’ canids to be the most adorable things ever. Mishu was not part of this camp. “Would you consider a Nickit or a Purrloin, then? I think they’re one of the cutest, most adorable things around myself.” She added with a cheeky smile. Miltank rushed after Civet, who stood confidently in place with her arms now crossed over her chest. She slammed one hoof against Civet’s legs, causing the Pokemon to wince a little.
“Big mistake, little one.” Civet snapped, grabbing Miltank by two of her hooves. She spun wildly around whilst holding onto the other Pokemon. When she released her old on Whitney’s pink cow, both Mishu and Civet watched as the bovine soared through the air and slammed against the ground several feet away. Miltank would be bruised and battered from the experience, sure, but she wouldn’t be quite beaten. Mishu smiled as her eyes widened in surprise a little bit. “Your Miltank is quite the fighter, isn’t she? It’s impressive. She took Civet’s Vital Throw head-on essentially and scraped by just fine.” She complimented Whitney with a small nod. “Tera Typing….that’s what you’re referring to, I think? I just barely started reading the research on such things, myself.”

Beauty was indeed in the eye of the beholder, but that didn't make this hulking rilaboom of a bear any less freaky and uggo. Urg. At least the crow was kinda like handsome? Maybe not adorable but like...sleek and impressive in a masculine way. This thing was just big and as far from cute as one could possibly get! "A nickit or purrloin? I mean, yeah, they're cute. Not as cute as a clefairy or a dashbun or a meowth, but cute in their own way. Though I'd probably describe them as more fluffy and cuddly looking...deceptively so." Those sneaky dark types. They sometimes sent shivers down her spine with how spooky they were. At least they weren't as bad as Morty's ghosts who were in no way redeemable nor adorable. If he at least had a mimikyu then maybe he wouldn't be like...totally creeptastic. But all those gastly line pokemon? Yeah, no. Creepy. Whitney's mind was snapped back to the present as her poor miltank was grabbed and thrown across the battlefield. She yelped, hands clapping to her cheeks in alarm. "Miltank?! Are you okay?" she called out. And fortunately, her partner pokemon managed to push up and out of that small crater in the floor. "You should heal up with a milk drink!" Not that it looked like it would make much of a difference. That thing hit hard! Her expression was strained. Yeah, this was a losing fight, wasn't it? So quick... "Y-yeah. She is a fighter...and I only got into the whole Tera Type topic because of the Paldea Festival that passed through last year. I wanted to see if they had brought any adorable new normal types to show off."

“I have a similar opinion on Clefairy, really. Most fall in love with their cuteness and their charm. I, instead, only find them fascinating because of their allured origins of them being from outer space. I strive to educate citizens against some common myths they have on Dark types as a whole, but also to study them further so I can understand them as much as humanly possible.” Mishu reflected with a warm smile. She related to Whitney on that common elemental level that they could understand their differences of taste and respect it, even if they didn’t agree with each other’s analysis. At least, Mishu hoped that was the case mutually.
Her Miltank immediately made itself a glass of milk to drink and healed itself. Civet scoffed with a shake of her head, trying to determine the purpose. She just needed to slam into her opponent hard and it would be over with anyways. What did this prove? She rushed towards the bulky bovine and slipped her paws around Miltank’s hooves, giving her a wide spin through the air. It was impressive to see this opponent do its best to remain relevant in the fight admittedly. When the throw landed a powerful blow to steal away the remainder of Miltank’s health anyways, she stood by after her opponent fainted. No need to pulverize her opponent, after all.
Mishu smiled as the announcer called out over the speaker and announced her victory. “Miltank is unable to battle! The official winner of this round goes to Mishu!” She’d hardly realized that any sort of official fight had begun at all. It was a marvel at how an open and authentic conversation and relation of their Pokemon’s skills against each other, blended so seamlessly into the match again each other. “You train your Pokemon really well, Whitney. I appreciated your insight and inspiration not to give up on your Pokemon even after their typing changes. There’s a lot we can still learn about this world we live in.” She smiled brightly, reaching out to shake her opponent’s hand.

Despite all attempts at healing...miltank was easily crushed by her foe. Whitney whimpered a bit, sniffing and rubbing her eyes as the ref suddenly called out that the match was won. She whirled and childishly yelled, "Oh my gosh, that totally wasn't an official match at all! It was just for research and...and..." Poor Mishu would be suddenly abandoned as Whitney ran off, not wanting to be seen crying by the scientist. Fortunately for Mishu, the workers at this gym were used to her antics. Lass Carrie sheepishly approached and waved, holding out a small box, "Sorry about that. She can get pretty worked up about losing since it doesn't happen much. Here. I'll get you all checked out for the day. Since you did defeat me and Whitney in front of a referee, that did qualify as a victory. So, here, your prizes. Most importantly being this badge. Having it allows you to use strength outside of battle. And while you didn't get to see it work its magic, maybe you will find this TM for attract useful. It captures the heart of an opposite gendered foe and makes them so lovestruck they can hardly battle!" After making sure Mishu had her prizes, the lass would wave Mishu away. "She'll be fine. Thank you for coming. And best of luck!"
VICTORY!

Mishu was taken aback by Whitney’s response. The matter of their meaning revolved around Mishu’s curiosity behind typing changes and what that could mean for trainer and partner going forward. She often reflected on the minor changes made throughout the decades – especially as technology with which they scanned Pokémon and catalogued their information improved – and mulled over the possibilities of her own partners being retyped in the future. And given the recent developments uncovered in the Paldea Region, where Tera Typing could overwrite a Pokémon's Type and replace it with any typing imaginable, Mishu thought more on the matter than ever before.
“Whitney, I’m sorry… “ She walked away from her side of the match over towards the Gym Leader, a hand reaching out gently to the other person. It was an uncomfortable feeling to know that you affected someone so horribly they might break into tears. Her Pokémon were well trained and prepped for the battlefield, only given their need to work largely with their own intelligence and cunning when they traversed wild areas together. She relied on them knowing how to react with their instincts, without needing to throw themselves willy-nilly into any fray. In return, she monitored and only stepped in when needed.
“I hope we can talk again one day about such wonders in our world!” Mishu cupped her hands around her mouth and shouted after Whitney’s quickly disappearing form. Lass Carrie replaced her just as easily, handing over a few artifacts denoting the strength of her team. Mishu accepted them graciously, placing the items up inside of her bag and pinning her new badge alongside her older ones. “Thank you, I appreciate it. I can understand…” She smiled, a half-hearted crack on the corners of her face, and glanced casually to her two Pokémon who helped assure her victory.
When you worked closely with your Pokémon and faced many obstacles together, their successes were your successes. Their losses hurt you just as much as it hurt them. “She has a strong bond with her Pokémon.” Mishu added as an afterthought, following Lass Carrie to the doors of the establishment. “You get as invested in it as they do. You hurt for them in spirit as much as they do, when they don’t succeed in their matches.” Civet, her new Pangoro, grunted. It was a sharp, gruff sound that could loosely be understood as her agreeing with her trainer. For the punchy bear, though, there was absolutely no way she’d let them lose and be able to live with herself afterward.
Mishu waved goodbye one final time as she propped the door open. Heart soared out through the opened door and took to the skies at once. She was large and impressive, causing many of the younger trainers who took the door’s handle from Mishu’s hands and passed through the threshold to pause in their tracks. Some pulled out their cameras and craned them upwards, quickly snapping shots of the rare and illusive Boss Bird. Heart swooped back down and dived in front of a few cameras, before spinning around and swooping back up high into the sky once more. No doubt, she was helping them by giving them the best shots imaginable.
Mishu smiled with a quiet nod as she led the way to their next grand adventure. They never ceased to amaze her. She heard that Ecruteak had a very ancient tower in the heart of their city. It once suffered a horrific fire that consumed most of the tower, leaving many of the floors with broken pillars and large holes you could easily fall through if you weren’t careful. She was hoping she could learn more about its mystery, and therefore the mystery of Pokémon as a whole, by learning about the tower’s past.
