Now that is one scary sounding girl.

He'd wave back. He looks a little scared though.

Arda and his gym Pokemon are all stood on the beach, practicing and training for a eventual gym challenge.

Arda is running laps around the village, headphones stuck deep in his ears.

Yawn. He's tried, but Arda is going on a morning run.

He hasn't noticed yet. He has headphones in.

Is she trying to keep hidden? If not, he'll probably notice as he turns a corner.

Catastrophic as in him freaking out, probably. But good. He's enjoying his run still. He hasn't got long to go until he's back at the gym.

Likes? Not quite. It's killing him. He's just doing his best to bulk up a bit. Soon enough though. Boom. He's back.

And boom. He spotted her and jumped so hard, he's on the floor. "!!! A-Arceus!"

Mumbles. "Juliet would be cuter if she wasn't so aggressive..."

Arda is out for another run. He's getting better at this.

Arda is using this spare time to spruce up his gym. The moss on the fake mountain is drying out.

Ring ring. He's gotta call ˗ˋ💧ˎ˗ 𝐌𝐚𝐫𝐢𝐧𝐚.

"It's been real quiet lately... I haven't heard from Hades in a while... Or Hermes..."

"Suspicions? On who?"

"Wait... There is another person calling themself Hermes?"

"That's... Creepy. One Hermes was bad enough. A second though?" Shudder.

His gym is sparkling and so is he. He's a happy lad.

"First I get told some leaders are leaving the league. Then some elite members. Geez... I feel like I may end up as one of the only old leaders left."
