LEAGUE & LEARN: GC

Ft. CIAN MAHER

COMMUNITY STADIUM, MOSSDEEP CITY, 6:03 P. M.

"Ah, Mr. Maher!" Gwyar greeted at the other man's arrival, looking up from a tablet in his hand. "So glad you could make it!"

A rotom 's head briefly popped out of the tablet's screen, joining the blonde in greeting the other gym leader. They stood on the back entrance of the community stadium, surrounded by working staff.

Not a small amount of them paused to mutter and point as the champion walked around.

"I hope you're feeling well— The crowd is quite excited!" The blonde said, holding out a hand to the other. "Oh— preparations were made as you requested, by the way. Everything should go smoothly."

The first LEAGUE & LEARN seminars with Greyson Connors and FERNANDO SILPH had been a smashing success. The people of mossdeep— and hoenn at large— were eager to get a chance at learning from the pros.

And who better to feature next, after an Elite 4 member and Hoenn's longest serving gym leader, than its very own Vital City Tournament Champ— the Triple H.

he really should take the time to learn how to say their name properly but in his defense, it's a terribly difficult name. why are there so many vowels? where are the consonants? why does 'l' follow 'w'?[break][break]

"the crowd better be excited. it isn't every day they get a chance to learn from the best, you know?"[break][break]

it's clear from his tone that he's joking.[break][break]

LEAGUE & LEARN: GC

Ft. CIAN MAHER

The Gym Leader remained steadfast in the face of the inhumane butchering suffered by his name, a single proverbial tear streaking down his heart.

"Indeed." He said, smiling politely. "This is a rare opportunity for most."

Most people would never meet their heroes, let alone get a chance to learn from them.

And though only a few folk would get to exchange more than a few words with Cian today— the lucky few who managed to get their questions in —, all attendants would have the privilege of learning from Hoenn's triple H.

"Yes. We'll be with you every step of the way." The blonde confirmed, the staff behind him following up with nods, thumbs ups and grins.

This wasn't their League & Learn rodeo— they were all ready to make this their greatest success yet.

"Hmm... That should make for a useful demonstration, yes." The blonde said with an approving nod.

Turning his gaze over to the vast one sided windows leading into the stadium's arena, he hummed thoughtfully.

"But first! You must introduce them to the subject properly."

While many gyms had a focus on essential strategies of pokemon battling, few were the ones were these were actually explained to the
challenger in detail. They were more expected to face off against them and figure out how to triumph over the circumstances.

Triple H was one of Hoenn's premiere weather users— he just needed to pass on a little of that expertise.

Gwyar smiled at Cian.

"Think of it as taking the theme of your Gym, and making it into a... relatively short lecture." He explained simply, smiling.

Gym leaders didn't often get to demonstrate and share their expertise with a crowd of thousands, after all.

"oh! that's fine, then. i'm ready."[break][break]

despite the impression he may give off, cian approaches his work in a different light, serious and caring as he knows he's helping shape the next generation of trainers.[break][break]

so, when they're both ready, he walks out into the stadium's arena, waving at the crowd before assuming his position at the podium. he taps on the microphone once, then smiles.[break][break]

"thanks for coming out today! i'm cian maher. some of you may know me as rustboro's gym leader…vct champion…rocket defector…whatever it is, i'm lucky to find myself in a position where i can help teach and guide you into becoming a more well-rounded trainer. so, let's start with: what makes a trainer good? well-rounded?"[break][break]

after a short lecture where he emphasizes the importance of being able to adapt, the whole basis of what he teaches at the weather gym, he invites Gwyar Wledig out on stage for their showcase.[break][break]

"right! now let's see how well gym leader well-dig adapts to all kinds of weather. ready, sir?"

He stood back and watched the man work.

Rustboro's gym leader was blessed with the confidence to stand before thousands and the eloquence to deliver a seminar on a highly complex subject off the top of his dome.

Hoenn truly stood upon a goldmine of talent. And to think this one could've become a huge threat, had he stayed with rocket.

Not eloquent enough to say his name right, though.

"As ever." Gwyar said, the silent tears in his heart going unacknowledged as he marched to the opposite side of the field, smiling at the audience brightly before turning to face Cian.

His hand moved to his belt, digits fleeting over the pokeballs strapped to it.

"Shall we?"

a SANDSTORM whips up in the arena, its source unknown — perhaps this is one of the many cool inventions the weather gym is privy to due to its connection with devon corp — a SANDACONDA slithers against the ground, burying itself in the sand.[break][break]

His heart went out to that one guy who could pronounce his name.

This one's for you, random citizen.

With a smile, he unclasped his heavy coat, the whipping winds sending it flying back dramatically— a dutiful gym trainer catching it and holding it against her chest before it became an item for the crowds.

With a swing of his arm, an Excadrill took to the scene, Hank (Morgan) the digger landing on Gwyar's side of the arena, eyes sharp as it cracked its neck twice and spread out its claws.

As was perhaps expected of Gwyar's pokemon— it began by all but screaming at its opponent to come and get it, its large claws shining a bright blue glow as ethereal swords danced around its arms.

-Hank Morgan the Excacrill used Swords Dance.

they fast-forward through the battle, the crowd able to follow every step of the way thanks to the buzzing rotoms that never stop working even in the thickest of SANDSTORMS, and by the end of it, they can only hope the crowd walks away having learned the importance of adaptability.[break][break]

as the arena empties out, cian approaches the other gym leader on the battlefield, recalling his sandaconda as he does so.[break][break]

"so you're not just a pretty face after all," he juts a thumb at his chest, "just like me."

The blonde laughed as he recalled his Excadrill, shaking his head with amusement.

"I try." He answered with a tiny smirk.

As the stadium slowly emptied, a number of folk remained on the seats, visibly vibrating whilst holding onto a countless number of personal items.

It seemed the triple HHH would not be able to leave without first handing out a few autographs. Hopefully, the man had practiced his calligraphy.

"Thank you, once again." Gwyar said, overseeing the leaving folk with a smile. "You're quite the gifted showman. Education and entertainment don't often go hand in hand, nowadays."

but, truthfully speaking, what makes CIAN MAHER such a gifted showman is his desire for attention and validation. it fuels him, empowers him, and also hinders him all at once.[break][break]
