It was cooler here in Goldenrod than it was in Azalea. Maybe it was all of the greenery of the National Park that helped offset some of the intensity of summer, but one would think if that were true, Azalea's proximity to Ilex would keep it cooler as well. He wasn't a weather expert. He just knew that he didn't feel like he was melting into a puddle on the ground while he biked through the park.
As it was his day off, he was taking advantage of that precious free time to familiarize himself with Goldenrod as well as his new bike. He couldn't be on a mission, trying to catch a baddie, and have his legs cramp up from under him because he wasn't used to riding! Still sucked that he was bike patrol without a bike for so long, but that was no longer the truth! He now had a bike and he was moving faster than ever. Huzzah!
As he rode lazy laps around the edge of the tall grass, he let his mind wander. There was so much to do. Namely, he had to figure out how to raise up a few more pokemon that were in desperate need of training. Freya could only help him do so much (though she did report that the teddiursa was coming along great). He had that egg in his nursery that he was hatching for the daycare couple that he needed to check on. He had a couple more spewpa to evolve. And of course, the gym challenge on top of everything else.
A part of him felt ready for Whitney, while another part steadfastly...was not.
He needed to gather himself. Train. Train some more. Be patient. He could be patient, right? There was no need to hurry his way through the gym challenge. Then again, Freya was running forth at full force. She seemed beyond confident that she could handle Whitney once she was out of Ilex.
[Give me a day or two of training to make sure everyone is fit for a fight and I'll smoke Whitney! Calling it now!]
She seemed so confident. Apparently she thought that the little teddiursa had it in her to take the whole gym by storm. Adrian wasn't so sure about that, but if Freya was confident in her, then he didn't see a reason to counter that claim. He was just glad to hear that the little pokemon was doing well.
