He didn’t think he’d ever see the girl before him ever again, now they stood before each other not as competition, but as equals. How strange it was... He remembered Marnie’s face from the opening ceremony of the Gym Challenge, but now they had both grown, and now they both were gym leaders in their own way. One of the fae and one of the shadows. On that same token, he wondered why it was that it seemed every gym challenger was coming to him as of late... He hoped it had something to do with the challenge getting to Bellonlea posed, or perhaps it was the beauty of it? Regardless, the blond was more than happy to be on his home field when speaking with strangers.
“Gym Leader Marnie of Spikemuth, correct?” He inquired, his fingers dancing over a toadstool that was placed strategically outside of Bellonlea Stadium. It lit up a brilliant blue, hardening as he took a seat. He looked so ethereal, so ghostly, sitting upon such a beautiful stool. Perhaps he truly was one of the fae that made themselves at home in the Glimwood Tangle. Maybe that was why Opal selected him to be the next gym leader... His ability to become one with the fae in a way many others couldn’t. Was that what ‘pink’ was... probably not -- in fact, most definitely not. Regardless, now was not the time to ponder over old things such as that. “What brings you here, truly Spikemuth is quite a ways away and I did not see any flying taxis.” Not like there were ever really many flying taxis that came to Bellonlea -- so many more people prefer to hike through the woodlands. Something he found to be particularly dangerous.
