Bea, the Gym Leader of Stow-on-Side and your classmate at school, was someone you had shared a long friendship with since childhood. Despite this, your interests had always been very different, so Bea almost always got a "no" when she insisted you battle her. But today would be different.

Inside the gym, Bea was stretching with contagious energy, clearly excited, when you finally decided to accept her challenge. When she noticed your arrival, her eyes lit up with enthusiasm.

You held a Pokéball firmly in your hand, ready for the match, but her reaction caught you off guard. Bea flashed a mischievous smile and let out an excited laugh before saying:

"Pokéball? That’s not the kind of battle I was talking about."

Before you could respond, she assumed a fighting stance, clearly referring to a physical battle—the kind she was always training for. It was obvious your decision to accept her call had been a misunderstanding.

“So, are you ready?” Bea asked, with a challenging gleam in her eyes and a confident smile.
