VIDEO - TWO ISLAND GYM ANNOUNCEMENT!

[The camera opens to a triumphant Carly, looking her best, and she's not alone either- standing at the bridge leading to their fair gallery/gym, Jolyne is also there! Dressed just as best.

Wasn't Jolyne on a war path through the local, normal Gyms? Did something...Change?

With a beaming laugh, Carly addresses the camera.]

HELLO, KANTO-JOHTO! We're here to bring fantastic news, and the fantastic news is....! THE TWO ISLAND MARRIED GYMS ARE BOTH IN BUSINESS AGAIN~!

We're back to our regularly scheduled matches, so anyone who had an 'IOU' to fight Jolyne can come right over to try for the Badge of War again!

And to celebrate, there's going to be ice cream served free for the audience~! Er-

[Ahem. She pauses, looking somewhat somber.] While supplies last obviously, I'm not made of money here. Or ice cream.

[The cheer resumes, and she throws her hand in the air..] But if I know you, you're coming for more than ice cream, people..!! So if you're dropping in on that weeeeeird broadcast for Seven, make a pitstop at Two!

[Jolyne throws an arm around her wife's shoulder, and grins sharkishly at the camera.] And once you do, come through the gym's gallery to meet me for an asskicking!

HEHEHEEEEE-!!

The Married Gyms? Heh, cute.

[And some gyms owned by other off-worlders, huh? Given Eda's recent decision that a gym of her own might be a goal down the line, she's very interested to hear about this.]

Well, I'm not one to say no to free food, but I'd be even more interested in getting a look at how things are run there. Maybe watching, I'll pick up a few battle tricks, too. [She shrugs with a chuckle.] Plus, I really wouldn't say no to free ice cream. I bet the kiddo wouldn't, either...

It saved space and budget after all~!

Oooh, and if you want to see battling you'll definitely get plenty of that! Jolyne's badge is the 'War' half of 'Love and War' hehee...

Mine's the 'Love' half, but the paper work error with the League took so long to get through that I've been running that end on all of Jolyne's days for almost half a year...I'm beat!

[Spoken like a true lay-about! Her gym end involves sitting and waiting!]

Dang. Sounds like somebody at the League messed up pretty bad.

[She's amused, really. What can you expect from all the stuffy administration system stuff?]

If you went all the way to having your own gyms, you've both got to be good at battle.

I almost wonder if it was better without the fix...I mean the backlog is insane, but Jolyne was really letting 'm have it while going through the gyms a second time, it isn't like all her pokemon left after all!

[That said.] Heheeee~ Of course~! If it comes to it I can get out on the field~

Hey, it's got to more exciting with more battles going on there, right? I've still got training to do, and, sure, some things to learn- [Ew, nerdy stuff like research.] -but battling's a lot of fun. It's kind of like being the captain on a sports team. I'm guessing, anyway.

Oh very! If you get to that point, the Elite Teams are definitely worth the challenge too, really makes you pay attention to the strategies.

Jolyne got a neat one using a swoobat hehe...

Yeah, it sure couldn't hurt. I mean, the strategies just didn't come as naturally to me as hit hard and hit fast, at first, but I've started getting some ideas.

It comes with time I think? It's definitely why most gyms have two different teams though, you gotta ease people into things.

Sure. I mean, I guess the alternatives would be having to follow a certain order, and that sounds like a drag.

But it is good to hear it can come with time, honestly. It's not like I've got anything against a good strategy, it's just usually been my third plan to have a plan at all.

Mmmm, you could probably go back and forth between regions but ehh...seems like an even bigger slog than the normal way honestly...

Ohhh, but you know, if you feel like going in no plan at all, it's not like a challenge costs anything hehehe...! So if you've got pokemon raring to go, don't hold them back~!

[Of course Jolyne's being obnoxious and just leaning forward while keeping her arm wrapped around her wife's waist with a grin that still looks far too predatory for a normal human. She's the worst, it's absolutely fine.]

I mean, with this new development I'm not against just doing some expo battles for shits and giggles. 'Sides, I got some new tricks up my sleeve since I was working on a hell of a strategy to annoy the ever-loving piss out of the League for their fuck up.

What a surprise that Lance is incompetent as hell, hooooonestly.

Not a fan of the guy, huh? [Eda laughs with a snort.] Well, I sure can't say I'm surprised that bureaucratic, paperwork stuff caused a headache and a mess.

I wouldn't say no to that battle, but my teams tops out in, eh, the fifty to seventy range. I don't want to set 'em up for failure, but if you can work with that, it sounds good.

We were actually thinking of taking a trip to Two Island if we end up going to Seven.

I don't know if either of us are ready for a gym challenge, but it could be fun to watch.

You really should~! It'll be too late for my badge for a bit- I'm beat- but you can always go for the War one~! Or just watch everyone else go at it. I think we have a waitlist of something like 30 trainers...

Oh! No. That's okay. I think we'll be happy watching.

[Maybe he shouldn't speak for Ryan, but he also knows he's only just started training in earnest, and part of the reason for this trip is a time out from anything that could be considered work.]

Well you'll be in for a real treat then~ Should we be expecting you soon, hehe?

I guess? We were thinking we'd go after whatever's going on on Island Seven, so you know. Not right away.

[Soon, but maybe not ice cream soon if they get a good enough audience.]

Hmmm, well, we'll have to see if Jolyne's dealing with battles quite that long...Personally I'm headed to Seven myself, I want to see the fuss...

I don't know if I buy it, but we figure it might be nice to take a break from shows for a bit and Sevii's a good place for a vacation.

Got that right! And Seven might not normally have a whole lot for people who aren't battling, but the ruins on the south end aren't too bad either...

Maybe, but we thought Two might be better. You know. This time.

[Less convenient that the one they'll be right on, but... better.]

Well thanks~ There's a really cute little market here on certain days, you'll both enjoy it I think! Plus you can find stuff at the beach...

That sounds nice. Plus there's a park you can leave your Pokémon at for the day, right?

They sure do- they have little races and things every tuesday and friday, too!

Oh, they do? We should see if any of ours would want to try that...

[It would make a change from battling anyway.]

Sure do! It's cute, like a little school fair without the school.

That's nice. We'll talk to the Pokémon, see which ones of them would be interested.

Great~

If we miss the other, you'll have to tell me how it goes ok?

I'm sure we can make time to see you.

Unless you're too busy with the gym, which is totally okay too.

Ooooh! Don't jinx it...But you bet~ We'll be ready for you!

Oh? Congrats! I should come look when I go to the Isles for whatever's going on on Seven!

[He doesn't know if he'll try for a badge, but he is curious.

(And Ryou has a massive sweet tooth, so the ice cream is a good lure too.)]

You should~! Maybe we could head off for Seven at the same time even, I want to take a look at that now that I finally have some time off from this, phew!

Maybe! I haven't really stopped to check out any of the outworlder owned gyms yet, so it'd be neat to see!

[He's only been through some of the regular gyms so far, and hasn't touched the Aurora League gyms yet.]

Oooh, you'll really enjoy this then; ours is the only one that's a 'two in one' see! We tried to make sure it themed around that, which I'm pretty sure is the only reason I got away with a Gym that doesn't do battles come to think...
