[Option A; Video]
[The feed clicks on to a ragtag bunch of misfits all standing in a line.
You've got Skadi the Alolan Vulpix, looking as regal and proper as possible- though she looks like she's trying to hold in a sneeze. Then you've got Baldur, the fire Vulpix, sitting on his hind legs looking excited by the attention and as if he wants to bolt from the spot and run around. Next is Heimdall the Absol, standing taller above everyone else, glancing wearily at Baldur as if he's just waiting for him to step a toe out of line. After that is Eostre the Steenee and Loki the Gastly- perhaps the oddest out of all of them, because unlike normal Gastly he doesn't look quite right. ]
Are you guys ready?
[That statement is all it takes to unleash chaos, as each Pokemon lets out a cheer of excitement- then Baldur bolts from his position and starts running around in circles as if he can't contain his own energy. He dizzies quickly and runs right into Eostre, who gets so offended she kicks him away.
Heimdall steps in and starts sternly Absol-ing in her direction as Loki floats down and circles Baldur to make sure he's alright, meanwhile Skadi distances herself from the group and looks mildly put out, looking from Elsa to the group as if she's not sure what to do.
Elsa takes the opportunity to turn the camera back on herself, looking exasperated.]
Well, I had intended to announce that I think we're ready to take on our first gym, but that didn't go quite as expected.
[She forces a bit of a laugh. She looks tired- but not as tired as she had during October when all the nightmares were going on. Her eye bags are still a little intense, but only because now she's thrown herself into training to distract from the memories of all those nightmares. It's been a good distraction, they've made a lot of progress.]
With that said, does anyone have any advice for taking on a gym? I imagine it's a bit different than battling the trainers along the routes, right? Is it difficult? Is there anything in particular I should know? I'll be battling Falkner.

Oh! I forgot. I learned that an Alolan Vulpix can evolve with the use of an "ice stone". I've talked it out with Skadi and she seems cautiously interested in the idea of evolving. I think we're both a little hesitant for such a drastic change, but it's not something we're opposed to. Does anyone know where I might find such a stone for when the time comes?
