Oreburg City!

Geodude: *goes sailing into the air*
Terra: Geodude!

Mana: Extreme Speed?

Whip: Quick Attack!
*Eevee barely plants his feet on the floor before rocketing at the flying Geodude mid-air*

Mana: *doesn't realize the joke* That only does like, 40 damage! Extreme speed would be better.

Terra: Geodude! Defense curl, quick!
Geodude: *tries to curl up before Eevee hits, but fails and is sent flying quite a bit into the ground*
Terra: Geodude!

*Eevee curls around mid-air and lands neatly on his feet*
Eevee: Viiiiii, Vii~
Whip: Good job Eevee!

Terra: Geodude, are you alright!?
Geodude: *struggles to get up* Geo... dude...!

Mana: (surprised) Wow, he's still going?

Geodude: Geo... dude. *falls back, spirals in his eyes*
Terra: *stomps her foot and glares at Mana* You jinxed me!
Mana: *sweatdrops and looks very sheepish* A-Ah, sorry...
Terra: Return, Geodude! *the beam of light recaptures Geodude* You did great. *looks to Whip* Congrats on winning this time.

Whip: Hah, what did you expect~?
*Whip holds himself very haughtily, Eevee leaping onto his head and joining into his nobleman's laugh*

Mana: -v-;
Tsunami: *blows bubblebeam at Whip*

*After Whip strains his hair, and Eevee shaking himself, Whip approaches Terra*
Whip: That was a good challenge! I feel ready to take on and wipe the floor with this leader~!

Terra: If you wanna challenge him, go for it. *looks at Mana* Did you have any plans to train?
Mana: Ah, yeah, actually. *looks around* I guess I'll go challenge someone.
Terra: *nods* Well, good luck then~ *turns to Whip* You too! *walks over to a little area where the people who work at the gym can heal their pokemon*

Whip: Ah, I'd be careful, Mana~
*Whip's swagger makes a comeback*
Whip: It's pretty tough here~ I'm not sure your Pokemon could handle it~

Mana: *slants an amused look towards Whip* Right. I'm sure that's why I've beaten you in all our battles so far.

*Whip doesn't falter*
Whip: I'm a changed man~ I've got a Miltank now, and Eevee's only gotten stronger as well.
*Whip picks his egg back up*
Whip: And once whatever-this-thing-is hatches, my team will be all the more amazing! Your common bush meat don't stand a chance~!

Tsunami: *anime vein and angry eyes* PIP-LUP!?
Volt: *sweatdropping at Tsunami* S-Shiiinx....
Tsunami: *starts flapping its wings and thrashing and chirping as if he's saying, "LET ME AT HIM!" in response to the "common bush meat" comment*

Mana: *not even affected by the rambunctious pokemon she's holding and seems almost apathetic to Whip's challenges* If you say so~

*Whip seems to continue*
Whip: So go ahead and challenge whoever you want. Once we have our first badge, I'll show you just how amazing my team is!
*Whip turns to walk away, but pauses*
Whip:....So, uh..... where's the leader, exactly?

Mana: *looks around* ...Good question. *shrugs* Guess we should ask Terra. *looks to where Terra went and sees her tackle=hugging some guy who doesn't look to be from this gym* ...Uh, if she's not too busy.

Whip: Ack! A side-character with a relationship!?
*Whip looks downtrodden*
Whip: Well, I-I guess we can find another person....

Mana: ... *smacks Whip once again for his comment, but then looks around the gym, spying a guy challenger* Here, let me ask this guy before I start battling.

[You get to control him~]

(...Alright, you asked for it. >v>)

This Guy: Hello.
*He appears so suddenly and so excitedly, Whip hops back and hides behind Mana, his masculinity exiting in the form of a screech*

Mana: *not at all surprised by how quiet Whip's cry was, but does blink at the new guy's sudden appearance* Oh, uh, hi! (OvO;) I have a question.

(OH HA HA. I'm surprised I caught on to that so quickly, actually. >v>; )

This Guy: Ask.
*His tone seems direct, and Whip begins to shiver from his intimidating demeanor*

[When I saw that description, I couldn't help myself. XD
Oh look it's Cloud- *slice'd*]

Mana: *also intimidated by the new guy but stands her ground* Er, w-where's the gym leader?

This Guy: Underground.
*He awkwardly raises his hand*
Whip:.... Mana, I think he wants to shake....
: Shinosuke.

Mana: *without missing a beat, she moves her two pokemon to her other arm and shakes his hand* Mana~ *smiles politely*

Whip: And I-
Shinosuke: You are a trainer, correct?
*Whip grumble and moans quietly*

Tsunami: *laughing at Whip again*
Volt: *sweatdrops at Tsunami's behavior*
Mana: Yes I am.
