[Hearing that Byleth will be taking part in the gym challenges has Dimitri perk up, and he smiles a bit.]
I would be excited to see how you approach them, Professor! There are a great deal of factors to consider, and even I sometimes need Claude's help in managing a challenge... I cannot even begin to recall everything otherwise.
[Abilities and moves and everything else... He can recall type advantages, at least, although he doesn't like to lean into them too hard for his challenges. It doesn't seem as fair, exciting, or sporting to take an entire fire type team to a grass gym, after all.]
I will admit that I have been growing fond of it as well, for quite some time... In particular, I like teaching my companions how to work with one another, and what best suits their teamwork. In gym battles, that mostly interacts with setting things up for the Palien that will follow after them in the match, although a few things do interact directly.... Fraldariend knows an ability that, in exchange for his own ability to participate in the match, fully recovers another.
Still... I most often like to have them work as a team during wild battles, where no rules apply. A shame that most battles among trainers or against gym leaders is not often inclined to such things...
