The battle came to an end. Though she could still feel the adrenalin rushing through her body. A sense of relief washed over her as she finished what had long since been a dream, to stand among true trainers and finish a gym match. She could now call herself a real trainer, not just an amateur.

Though a troubled smile was upon her lips. She had finished the match, but not as a victor, but as a loser. By now the leader came over. Temp walked with a grin on his face as he procured some information about her. He was correct, she didn’t own a badge yet (due to timey-whimey related reasons.)
[break][break]
Elinor nodded. “That is correct.” She tried to smile and meet Temp’s enthusiasm. But what was this feeling she was experiencing? It was icky and unpleasant. Was this how losing felt? The thought crossed her mind, and she figured that was the answer. She tried to push the feeling away as she listened to Temp explain his strategy.

“Thank you. Though I have to admit, Eele is one of my more unruly Pokémon. But she surprised me today. I didn’t think she would try THAT hard.” Today Eele had truly shown how determined she was when it came to something she wanted. It made Elinor appreciate her that much more. “And I can’t say I have even heard of the move ‘Reflect Type’” she admitted. “But it seemed very useful. We certainly seemed lacking any sort of counter to an Electric-type.” She stated.
[break][break]
Then Temp went on to speak about the behavior of other trainers, and how Elinor differed. And that caught her visibly off guard. “I only did what was natural. I could always challenge you again, but, if Eele got hurt. What kind of trainer would I be?” The question was rhetorical. The answer was simple, she’d be a shitty trainer, no better than her parents who had seen their children as mere tools and not living breathing beings.
[break][break]
And then confusion washed over her as she listened to Temp’s last statement followed quickly by an offer of the badge. “But….” She stopped. Even if this didn’t feel like a victory, the Gym Leader offered her the badge. She took a deep breath and quelled the icky feeling of defeat. “I think not accepting it would be an insult to Eele’s efforts. If you think I am worthy of it, then I will accept it.” And Temp had made it clear that did. Now if only she could accept that she was worthy of it.
