Penelope stood at the door of Maroon’s gym and knocked. It slid open moments later. She glanced around. The leader, Harter, had filled the gym with his friends and apprentices, ready to challenge anyone who thought they could get the gym’s badge. “Hey! Think you can beat Harter?” asked an over-eager apprentice. “I’m going to beat you before you can even get to him!” The apprentice sent out a geodude. Before the poor geodude could even roar threateningly, Penelope sent out Groudon, who blasted the geodude and his trainer across the room. Everything went silent.
