All was quiet in the Palfroid City Gym. It had been hours since the last battle and it was starting to get late. Alex looked up from his Glalie-shaped watch. Alex was the Gym Leader of the Palfroid Gym. He was about 20 years old, had medium-long brown hair with a small patch below his lower lips, emerald-green eyes and stood about 5'08". He wore a pale blue long-sleeve shirt with black sleeves, a blue scarf, dark tan cargo pants, and brown boots."Well," Alex started as he turned to face his Froslass. "It's about time that we close up for the night." Froslass nodded in agreement. Froslass was a dual Ice/Ghost-type Pokémon who appeared to be wearing a white kimono with a red yukata, two short icy horns pinged from her cranium, and she floated around the lights were turned off, Alex and Froslass left the gym. "Not many battles today, but I can't say I'm not satisfied. It was a bit of a shocker that the boy with the Pikachu managed to beat us. But, you know, the gym-leading life wouldn't be so fun if you always knew what the outcome would be." They soon approached the Pokémon Center. "Let's get you guys healed and ready for any challenges we may have tomorrow." Alex pulled a Poke Ball with a snowflake engraved in the blue cap from his belt. "Froslass, return!" The ball sprang open as the Pokémon turned into a red light and shot inside like lightning. The ball closed with a click. The young gym leader walked into the Pokémon Center and approached the counter where a pretty pink-haired woman was standing. "Why, hello again, Alex," said the woman with a smile. "How may I help you today?" Alex pulled 6 Poke Balls, 2 at a time, from his belt and placed them on a tray. "Could you heal these for me, Nurse Joy?" "Not a problem. That's what I'm here for."
