@evoblue Porygon for a ride
Brisk weather kept the antsy crowd company on this spring morning. Families and couples lined up for the grand opening of the long-awaited PikaPark studios. The Sinnoh region had never been graced with a theme park of such magnitude. Everything about it just screamed Unova. Ferris wheels, titan-sized rollercoasters, drop towers, and everything in between were just beyond the illuminated gates. But when the countdown for the park's opening had finished something strange occurred... the gates remained shut.
Minutes had passed, and the crowd grew displeased, practically terrorizing any employee with questions and their dissatisfaction. The owner of the branch, a large but kind man adorned in Pikachu-themed overalls and a top hat, spotted a bright blonde spark of salvation in the sea of people, and with that ounce of hope, he braved through his guests and latched onto the gym leader like there was no tomorrow. With all his might, he dragged Volkner to the front.
The situation was made clear to Sunnyshore's star and he replied. "I'll need some serious muscle to protect me, I need someone with strong pokemon. And one more thing for when the job is done."
Once again, the branch owner hunted high and low until he had found the much-needed muscle and repeated his plea to her, then promptly guided her to the meeting spot. Where the Sinnoh's 8th gym leader had just been conducting business with the utmost importance. "Cola? I thought we agreed on a Root beer? Fine whatever. Here. Beacon badge for the soda. Thanks again, kid." With one genuine bona fide gym badge in hand, the child smiled and dashed back to his family with his new treasure.
Snapping the can open, fizz erupted, pouring over his hand. In shock, Volkner's lips went to the can, trying to save some of his drink. In his rush, he had just only now noticed the branch owner and the brunette watching his transaction. The Blonde's head cocked back out of shock. "Oh, didn't see you there."
Showing some sunnyshore spirit, he showed off his pearly whites with a smile. "You must be my bodyguard for the day, huh? Nice to meet ya, the name's Volkner."
