it was a long while after eunseo defeated the second gym and gained another badge, she arrived once again, in a new environment of sokcho that seemed bumpier than the last. she noticed lots of digging sites in the town fenced around so that no one will fall in and get hurt, some have what seems like people digging around some more and scavenging for what seems like fossils. âmust be a heavy weight on their âbouldersâ to work that hard.â eunseo snickered at her own pun.
not hard to miss, eunseo spotted what seemed like the gym building. âsokstone gym.â she stated. âowned by the leader eric nam and his rock type pokemon.â she remembered watching some of his matches on television back at home. her dad remembers that gym as well but was own by someone else before eric of course, her dad is old. eunseo trained a bit as well as rested after her second gym battle but she feels like she can beat eric with her pokemon, especially with fera her feraligatr, not a moment in her life that fera has failed her yet. âmmmm! alright letâs get that badge!â and with that she stepped into the building, unknowing of whatâs the outcome.
Though the area of âsokcho properâ was extremely well kept and clean at all times, its outer ring and areas were truly no joke -- everything from potholes in the ground to vicious (but low leveled) trainers stayed in that area. needless to say, if one was wealthy or smart enough, theyâd drive straight through that part of town and head straight to the main area of sokcho as soon as possible (akin to what eric does).
however, instead of traversing through various cities on this fine day, eric was abiding by the  contract he signed and was stationed at the lush, mock prehistoric jungle that was his gym. with his platform high above the foilage and trail of the gym, he could see that someone, a young girl, it looked, entered. immediately, she was approached by the gymâs guide, a young college student with dark hair and warm eyes. under ericâs watchful eye, the guide gave her his generic spiel.Â
âyo champ in the making! welcome to the sokstone gym. to get to the leader, youâll have to ride one of those dinos,â here the guide motions to the mechanical bastiodon in front of them, âand get to the highest platform. there, youâll battle the leader! he uses rock types, which wonât be a problem for you if youâve got a grass or water type pokemon. good luck!â
in the distance, eric smiles, eyes turning into pretty half crescents. the guide had done well.Â
however his smile didnât last, as before long, a trainer would probably be approaching his platform. so, he stood there, a valiant attempt at being stoic, watching and awaiting his challenger.
