The wind tumbles by in gentle streams, too slow to move anything but grass and just enough to cool someone down. The dawn settles warm hues over the city, glowing apricot and rose and gold heralding the rise of the sun. The stone-grey streets are tranquil in their silence, with nary a soul present outside. town's only unique feature is a museum with architecture from times past, a relic in itself housing other, much older relics. From the eyes of an outsider, it looked like a very well-kept ghost town. But it isn't.

This is Pewter City, Kanto, home of the Pewter Museum, Pewter Gym, and consequentially, the Pewter City's teenage gym leader, Brock T. Peterson, a Pokemon Doctor who's helped pewter city become a place of medical innovation despite it's eternal quaintness. More than any of that, he's your friend, and you came to visit the young man in his gym.

The doors of the Pewter Gym swing open to reveal the cave like interior, designed with a rocky maze as the gym challenge for incoming trainers and small Johto style gardens to make the place feel just a bit more comfortable. You showed your ID to the young boy standing post at the CGP (Completed Gym Path), who gave you a nod of approval once you explained you weren't here for the challenge. Traversing through a rocky pathway, you found yourself in Brock's gym room. There he was, sitting cross-legged by one of the little gardens and reading a book with his Sudowoodo resting in his lap. His eyes don't open, but he sees you anyway, raising his head and giving a soft smile.

"Y/N. What brings you in so early?" He asks, his sentence punctuated by a yawn.
