This was a change of pace.[break][break]

Jenna Wright had traveled through Hiwada many times; never to visit. If the girl found herself in the sleepy town, it was because she was traveling somewhere else. It had always been a pit-stop. A place where she could crash at the nearby Pokemon Center and maybe grab a bite to eat. Her job never allowed her the chance to linger.[break][break]

That had changed. Somehow, she had managed to clear her schedule. On a random weekday, the girl found herself roaming the town with nothing to do. Jenna never seemed high-strung, but she was someone that hated having too much time on her hands. She never liked relaxing. She never liked staying idle. Something had to catch her attention... and the Gym had been the only attraction.[break][break]

The Gym was not what she expected. In her mind's eye, the young Ranger had pictured a battling arena crowded with spectators. Maybe she had thought she'd get a chance to sit back and watch a few battles while drinking a fizzy drink. That was not what happened. She got a massage, instead.[break][break]

The girl walked from room to room, wearing the complimentary fuzzy slippers that she had been encouraged to change into. Her hair was freshly cut. Her nails were done... Jenna Wright couldn't remember the last time she had been treated like this. Someone had taken the time and the effort to scrub all of the miles off of her, leaving her refreshed. It felt... strange.[break][break]

Clenching and unclenching a fist, she came upon the last room where countless Slowpokes awaited her. Was this where the Gym Leader resided? Her eyes traveled to the front of the room, spying the man atop his throne... asleep? For some reason, the Ranger was not surprised. He had the right idea. Jenna felt as if she could easily do the same.[break][break]

“Well. I guess I could.” The girl murmured to herself, realizing that this could be the moment to challenge the gym. Jenna had never imagined herself taking on the League Challenge, but there had been some factors that had pushed her in this direction; her pokemon had been growing stronger. They had wanted to test their mettle. Even if the girl had no illusions of ever becoming champion, she knew that it was no longer her choice to make.[break][break]

The words of the Kikyo Gym leader resurfaced in her mind. One challenge wouldn't hurt, right?[break][break]

The girl raised two fingers to her mouth and blew, releasing a shrill whistle that caused the Slowpokes to stir. Even if she lost, this would be a valuable experience.
