Text; with Action for Olivine

[missleadingquestions]

So how important are type advantages when you're going up against gym leaders?

I finally have a bunch of ghosts! But their only other types are Fairy, Flying, and Poison. Is that a good set?

[Sometimes you just need to crowdsource tactics when you want to start on your journey to being the Master of Ghosts. Or anything similar.]

Or does the species of pokemon it is matter even more than its type?



ACTION - OUTSIDE OLIVINE (Early evening)

[Training with ghosts seems to be best at night and just before night! That's why Maya's out with her team— Sensu Oricorio, Gastly, Sinistea, Lycanroc, and watching from nearby, a recently evolved Swellow and her strongest teammate, Mimikyu. She wants to train on type advantages, but there's only one problem.]

C'mon, you guys! I know you don't wanna hurt each other, but we're never gonna get stronger if we don't focus on the tough stuff!

[She tries to encourage her still-young team, hands on her hips, but Gastly, Sinistea, and Oricorio each look at each other apprehensively. From nearby, Mimikyu pipes up with its strange bell-like tone, and Maya responds—]

I know you'd do it, Lumi, but you're too big for these guys! We've got to do our best to catch up to Lumi's level, alright, guys?

[They don't look quite convinced, though...

Maya sighs, hands on her hips.]

I guess... we could keep trying to fight wild Pokemon...

[But perhaps any passing trainers might lend a hand— or even a battle?]


ACTION FOR DANDY - Earlier that day

[Did Dandy think he was going to have an easy day today? TOO BAD. Wherever the poor man is at, Maya bursts in the door suddenly, pointing at him just like her lawyer friends objecting.]

HEY! What do you know about the gym challenge?

[...Lumi is actually in her arms, pointing along with her in tandem. If it weren't so sudden and rude, it might actually be kind of cute.]

a dark type... now that's an idea!!

I thought lycanroc looked like a dark type, but I guess it's just rock.

[Sort of a let-down, but it still looks cool.]

I didn't think about just teaching other pokemon ghost type moves either!! ty

[so (almost) ANY pokemon can be a ghost... in their heart???]

[apshot]

You know. "Roc" is in the name. Kind of implied there it's going to be a Rock Type.

Hold on. You didn't think about teaching yours cross type moves?

[missleadingquestions]

welllll
no

I've kind of spent this whole time LOOKING for ghosts to train, not training them just yet!! I'm still getting used to all this stuff

[apshot]

Hold up. Do you mean you've been looking for Ghost Types for this gym or just... That's all you want? Because if it's the second one there, that's just stupid.
