[ in this memory, you are fighting your way through a Gym and then battling its leader, Roark; you learn that the Oreburgh City Gym specializes in Rock type Pokemon which is lucky for you since your beloved starter Pokemon is a Water type and you have a Budew. you battle some of the Gym's Trainers, and when you reach Roark, the two of you talk for a moment before getting to the battle... wherein you're surprised by how easy winning is. is this because of your training...?
Roark is flustered and embarrassed that he lost to a Trainer who doesn't even have a single badge, but he accepts his loss gracefully. 'You were strong, and I was weak. That's all there is.' he shrugs and presents you with the Coal Badge as per the Pokemon League's rules and also gives you TM76, which contains the move Stealth Rock.
you store both your new badge and TM safely in your bag before speaking to Roark again. he tells you that here in Sinnoh, there are seven other Gym Leaders to be found, and that they're all stronger than he is. you're excited by to think there are stronger opponents waiting for you out there, and race toward the door to head to the next Gym... wherever it is. ]
