TAG WITH @bugcatcherdoug
John Sullivan
"Thank ya kindly." Doug said to the receptionist as he grabbed the pass, waving at her before quickly walking past the security guard.
This was one of his precious vacations days; he wanted to make the most of it.
The heels of his dressing shoes released echoing clicks with each step he took down the long, dark corridor, until he emerged at the center of the arena.
A spotlight suddenly flashed on, and Doug's threw an arm in front of his face as he flinched, his gaze slowly clearing to reveal...
One of his favorite coordinators.
"Indeed! It is I!" Doug suddenly intoned dramatically, crossing his arms over his chest with a smile, tipping down his straw hat so that the spotlight shining above would cast a deep shadow over his gaze.
"Straight outta Kanto, the man who grew up appreciating the intrinsic and superior beauty of Insects! Tough, fair, a jungle expert! It is Hoenn's leading Bug-type Expert!"
Doug spun in place before posing, a single hand extending skyward sharply, two pokeballs flying in the air and releasing both of his pokemon.
"John Douglas Sullivan!"
A lightning bolt flashed through the arena as his Ledian swung a Thunder Punch at the air with enough speed to produce a booming echo, the sound accompanied by the dramatic notes of a string orchestra.
The Kricketune slowly removed its bow-like arms from its stomach, bowing low to Melody Miro.
Doug held the dramatic pose for about 10 seconds, letting it all sink in before lowering a hand to point it at Melody.
"And indeed, you lost that one." He said, before shrugging and breaking the illusion. "Don't feel too bad though; the winner found a miracle of nature in a Biome Contest, it was almost impossible to top."
But that wasn't what they were here for. The youth began walking forward
"But this ain't 'bout that, is it?" He said, crossing his arms over his chest and grinning, his Ledian mirroring him as it fluttered behind him, crossing all four of its arms. "When I heard ya were the new Gym Leader, I just had to come check things out."
He made a show of looking about furtively for sneaks and eavesdrops, before leaning in lowly and holding a hand besides his mouth...
And then he spoke loud and clear enough to be heard, making it pointless.
"It's a secret to everyone, but..." With a flick of his wrist, he produced a special looking badge from his sleeve. "As a new Gym Leader too, I felt I should be the first one to congratulate 'cha, since we're in the same boat."
With another flick, he slipped it back into his sleeve, before leaning back and winking at her.
"But keep it a secret, eh? My installations ain't ready just yet." He was taking his sweet time, despite his best efforts. "I admire the quickness with which you up your gym. But enough about that!"
"Let's battle!"
