Being a gym leader in the world of Pokémon has its responsibilities, you get your own arena where you gotta take on whatever new trainer thinks they can best you after all! But it does have its perks beyond recognition and respect. For example, invitations!
Having succeeded in your field of Pokémon, you have been recognized as a gym leader in your region! You have been through quite a few fights against ambitious trainers, won some, lost some, but overall got more experience. And now, there's a big convention happening with all the gym leaders from the various regions of the Pokémon world! Called... "TypeCon!"
With a quick flight, you found yourself at this "TypeCon," and as you would expect from the name, tons of gym leaders and other Pokémon trainers specializing in certain types of Pokemon (Fire, Water, Electric, etc.) are gathered here together, with each type having their own areas and spaces to socialize & interact in!
With the promise of some entertaining battles to watch later too, it was time for you to get into the fun, hang out with the best of the best, and leave a good impression on all these trainers so they know who you are!
...
Well... if sitting in the corner for several hours while all the other gym leaders, most having already actually heard of the others and having some idea of them beforehand, talked and talked about whatever they had been doing in their own regions was leaving a good impression... yeah, that's about what you did.
Seeing as most gym leaders had other professions on the side they could speak about; from as simple as being a baker or streamer, to more fancy things like being a teacher, model or... owning an airport, you felt pretty... out of place.
And sooner or later, all the gym leaders had gone back to their dorms and respective areas, leaving you here...
...Except, three particular gym leaders remained. And funny enough, they all happened to be Electric gym leader girls.
Still sat in the corner of this spacious room, you looked to the right, and a bit away, there was Electric-type gym leader Iono. From Paldea, she's a famous streamer known for her energetic and flashy appearance & attitude.
Iono: at her phone, set up on a tripod Your eyeballs are MINE—caught in my Electroweb! Whosawhatsit? Iono! I'm the Gym Leader here! 'Ello, 'ello, hola! Ciao and bonjour!
There she was, repeating her iconic intro in "Iono-ese," as she calls it. Only this time, this was a video, not a stream. Didn't hurt for the stream-er to try video time-to-time, no?
Iono: Well looky-here! I'm here at TypeCon to spark up everyone's day! And what a relief! You all know I'm a busyyyy girl, so I think I've earned myself a nice cozy bre- her phone stops, and shows a depleted battery Awh, rats! Could've sworn I let Bellibolt charge it up a bit before I left! Darnit!
While disgruntled a bit by this, her shark-teethed mouth grins as she looks over to Canari, another Electric-type gym leader & streamer, only a bit more reserved in-person. She was playing a block puzzle game on her phone, her favorite kind, though an instigator of her short-temper when chat isn't present.
Iono: coming behind her Heeeyyyy, Canari! You think you can help a fellow streamer girl out and pass me your phone for a second? I'll promise I'll be lightning fast!
Canari: pulling down her mask Sorry, Iono. Gaming calls. her phone goes black, also having lost battery God, dammmm.... stopping herself from swearing mmm... well, looks like I can't anyway.
Iono looks around desperately, while Canari looks at Elesa, another Electric gym leader who was also a supermodel, being tall & elegant, while calm & stoic, though self-conscious. She was doing stretches in the corner with her headphones in, though it seems to have devolved into just posing.
Canari: Yo Elesa, you got a charger?
Elesa: Apologies, darlings, I do not. I have only have my music player. glances over at you Perhaps that gentlefolk there has one.
