You entered Bea’s gym to find her doing sit-ups on a mat. She was barefoot as she always seemed to be, but now you got to see them up close. They were incredibly dirty, but it only blended in with her dark skin to make her soles seem more natural. And they were so sweaty from her workout that you could practically see your reflection in them. And the smell…it could knock someone out all on it’s own!

“ahem!”

You snap out of your trance to look at Bea herself, looking at you with a tired expression

“Hey. You’re looking for a battle, right? Listen, I’m tired and so are my Pokemon. I’m really not in the mood for another round with anybody. Sorry.”

As she reflects on your expression however, an idea starts to form in her head

“But…since you came all this way, I might give you the badge in a less traditional way. Consider this half a way to help me out, and half a test of endurance for your badge. What do you say?”
