[Sometime after the meeting, Armin has taken over one corner of the table, various pages full of notes spread out in front of him. Some of the pages simply contain everything that was said during the meeting, jotted down in his quick (though still fairly neat) hand, for quick review, important facts underlined. There is a page full of bug type moves he looked up on his gear as a reference. Bug pokemon aren't exactly his forte, after all. Directly in front of him are pages of pros and cons for all of his battle-ready pokemon. It's pretty clear he's trying to sort out what kind of party to take into the cave with him. They have some time to prepare so this is not a choice Armin intends to take lightly, just like he hadn't just walked onto the Indigo Plateau to challenge the Elite Four on a whim. A lot of planning had gone into that decision.

Though, really, it isn't just his battle, is it? Unlike when they each took on the Elite Four, this won't be a singular battle. They will all be fighting together. Thinking of only individual strategies and not their strategy as a whole would really minimise their chances of success.]

Uhm. [Trying to catch everybody's attention; it's a lot more intimidating when there isn't someone else leading the conversation.] Has anybody made any decisions yet on which pokemon they'll be bringing? Seeing as we are all fighting together, we really should make sure our teams complement each other.

[He frowns a bit as he glances down at his notes.]

Unfortunately, I don't really have any bug pokemon to bring with me. How about everybody else?
