Ever since dorian westcliff 's attack, security had tightened substantially, Josh again having to hire an outside firm to help ARCHIE COOK keep Mauville Racing Grounds safe until he could find staff willing to work for him directly. Given how his Gym had suffered two high profile attacks in less than a year, it was little wonder he couldn't get applicants. Clearly there was someone, whether Rocket, DRK Triad, or elsewhere that wanted his guts.
After check-in, staff would lead Thomas to the sprawling backyard of Mauville that was Josh's prized Racing Grounds. The facility was enormous, featuring all kinds of terrain for land, sea, and sky races to take place. Provided Thomas followed the directions to get to the Main Sector's primary battle court, he would see Josh removing the saddle from his Manectric in preparation for their match. "There you are, Thomas," Josh greeted the man who had ultimately directed him toward Top Champion kyle lopez , who was largely responsible for shaping Josh into the force he was today.
As he finished removing his primary mount's gear, Josh directed his friend toward the west side of the triple-sized court, toward the Trainer's Box on the challenger's side. "According to your application, this will be a half-team Singles match. The first side to incapacitate all their opponent's Pokémon will be the winner. The challenger is permitted to withdraw Pokémon, but the Gym Leader is not. There will be a ten-minute time limit. Once time expires, the side with more Pokémon standing will be the winner. Ties will be broken by sudden death. Good luck to you; you'll need it."
Once the two trainers were positioned, the small gallery cheered, primarily for Josh, as the platforms rose to a height of roughly ten feet. The Gym Leader hurled a Pokémon toward the circular pool surrounding the inner ring of the battle court, a rather large Lanturn emerging from it. It was clear from the creature's size that the Gym Leader rode her regularly in marine environments. "Now, bring forth your first Pokémon. I can assure you it will be the only decision you will have time to ponder," Josh taunted as the move timer counted down on the scoreboard clearly visible to the challenger.
