Just letting YellowAdminSilver know I will accept his challenge once my Empoleon is trained to a reasonable degree
Send in tavok and ZhengTannAccepting tavok. This is likely going to be a formality, since the dude's been MIA since October :( But eh, figured he deserves at least the full 8-day wait.

for Frosty said:You strode confidently towards the rock henge, and crossed the threshold into the barren, gravelly, sacred ground. The henge is already glowing, and you find yourself looking at some Unown formes previously unseen of. Wait, these are-
"Kanji Unown, yes."
Whipping around to face the Gym Leader, you pulse raced when you see the furry face. It took a moment before you calmed down and thought to yourself that he couldn't possibly be Yeti's accomplice, only to panicked a little again at his next remark.
"Eheheh, how can you be so sure?"
Forcing your heartbeat to calm, you narrowed your eyes to make a =.= face.
"Even if you have these Unown runes and mind-reading on your side, I'm still going to beat you."
"I've heard a lot about you and your wanderings to know you're capable enough - that's why I'm not gonna hold back on you. Welcome, to Rock Origins, the Gym."
Format
Arena mechanics
- 5 vs 5 Doubles, GL B8P5
