>>16207700The crowd only really showed up to see Grant pass the Cliff Badge onto you, as soon as that ends, they all head back into town, back to their normal, dudebro exercising lives.
With a new badge under your belt, you're now officially one-fourth of the way done with your journey. How exciting it all is. The feeling of adventure, the feeling of WINNING, it all feels just...so damn great.
"Say Grant, where should I head to next? I was going to ask my dad since he uh, knows his way around the region, but I forgot. Where's the next gym?"
The giga-nigga pauses, entering a thinking stance. He flicks at one of the minerals embedded in his spiked hair, "Hmm.....Oh! I know exactly where you should to next, Geosenge Town!"
"Geosenge Town? Is there a gym there?"
Grant shakes his head, which disappoints you, "Erm.. Not exactly. But it is a great historic little town with tons of history behind it! Plus, the town after Geosenge, Shalour City, does have a gym! If I recall....yeah! Korrina works there, she's a spunk with skates, knows a lot about that funky Mega-Evolution stuff everyone keeps yapping on about nowadays, and all-around my type of gal! Too bad she
wears spats. That kind of ruins it for me."
"You're allowed to date gym leaders...?"
"Nope."
