Miss Leading steps up to oppose the grunt group, exasperated by their incessant rambling, "As far as I'm concerned, my companion here and I are quite formidable trainers who can handle quite anything. I suggest if you don't have anything polite to say, don't bother talking at all."
"Oh, lookie here everyone, we gotta wise gal! Sweetcheeks here thinks she ACTUALLY knows what she's talking about! You must think you're oh so smart, don't you? Pitiful. If you scamper off now we might actually consider letting you guys off with a break..."
You grit your teeth, this does look like a bad situation. One you might not be able to get out of alive, you should have listened to Sycamore when he off-handily mentioned Flare prior to you entering Lumiose, some time after leaving Route 4.
The name Flare suggests flames, fire, incineration, that sort of thing. That implies that they use Fire-types, this could be Froakie's biggest test yet. Although he's quite a strong player, he's still your only Pokemon, and if he can't hold his own against whatever Pokemon they may have in store for you, it might just be all over for you altogether.
>Objective: Deal with the grunts!A) Froakie's got this, it's battle-time!
B) An opposing force appears in the nick of time!
C) The Froak is outnumbered, make for an escape!
