Jackie hurried after Tim as he ran towards the Rustboro Gym.
"I've never been in a gym before,wonder how it looks like.."she thought silently,her pokemon trailing behind her.
The girl was far too excited to wait for Kirky,so she slowly followed Tim into the gym.The things she saw that day,she would never forget,ever.
Rocks,boulders,stones,were scattered all around the huge room.Making it look like an articficial mountain side of some sort.Turning herself to the left,the girl saw,some,what looked like Hikers who were training their rock pokemon at one corner.Others,like Youngsters and Schoolgirls,sitting on benches conviniantely located on both sides of the room,were deeply fascinated by the books they were reading,studying perhaps.Jackie's eyes then widened as they came to rest in the middle of the room,what the benches surronded,there was a battle field.
"Excuse me,may I help you,Miss?"a chime-like voice suddenly shattered the eerie silence in Jackie's mind,causing the girl to look away from the battle field.Infront of her stood a young lady,her hair was long,tied into two ponytails,she was wearing an unusually short dark blue drees,and pink stockings underneath,holding a book in one hand,the lady eyed Jackie with curiousity.
"Are you here for a gym battle??"
"Uh...no,I'm not mam'm."the girl overcame her shyness and told the woman firmly.
"You sure?I like that look you're giving me,though."the woman said teasingly,before smiling.
"Name's Roxanne,nice to meet you......"the lady held out her hand,pausing as she came to the end of her sentence.
"Jackie.I'm Jackie."the girl grinned,taking the hand Roxanne held out.
"Roxanne.Roxanne,where have I heard that name before??"the girl repeated the name continously in her mind,trying to remember why it seemed so familiar to her.
"Kirlia...kirlia..kir!!!"(Lookie at all the rocks!!!)Kirly jumped up and down,tugging Marshy by the flipper,pointing at the terrain of the gym.
"Marshtomp....marshtomp..marsh."(Relax Kirly,they're only rocks.)the Marshtomp assured the Kirlia,pulling his flipper out of his tight grip.
"Spoink...spoink?!Spoink..oink..spoink!!"(Only rocks..only rocks?!These are the best rocks I've seen in my life!!)Spoinky remarked happily,eyes gleaming as she examined a rock beside her.Having lived on Mt. Chimmney,the Spoink had her own great deal of knowledge when it came to rocks.
