This chapter's from Elesa's point of view. She runs the gym in Nimbasa city.
Elesa grinned as she watched over her Gym. She enjoyed watching the cars of the coasters zip by as she waited for challengers. Right now, no one was challenging her though. She chuckled as she spoke to herself. "Rather uneventful day today."
As if in answer, her transceiver began to ring. After she looked at the ID, realizing it was Burgh, she then answered the call. She wasn't expecting to see Burgh in the state he was. He was tending to a nosebleed, and had a nasty bruise on his face. Elesa almost smiled, it looked like someone just hit Burgh. "Ouch Burgh, how'd you get that? It looks like someone just slugged you!"
She almost chuckled at that thought, but she was deeply startled when Burgh gave a weak smile. "That's actually what I'm calling about."
Wait was he . . . Elesa's eyes opened wide at the thought. "Someone did?"
Burgh nodded, grunting as he put an icepack against the bruise. "Yeah. I felt like you would appreciate a warning, the culprit's headed your way."
Elesa couldn't believe it. "What trainer slugs a Gym Leader after winning?"
Burgh shook his head. "He came here by boat from . . . hold on. Which region again?"
Elesa listened as a woman stated 'Johto'. Burgh gave a 'thanks' then turned to face Elesa again. "It's a teenage boy named Singed who travels with a Houndoom. According to one of the people from the boat, this boy has terrorized the Johto region for some time. I myself can vouch for the power his Houndoom possesses and the strength that Singed possesses."
Elesa frowned. "Why did he hit you?"
Burgh gave a slight chuckle, but it was cut off by a grunt of pain. "I told him that he shouldn't slug someone in the face for anything they do that he doesn't like. Apparently he doesn't agree with me."
Elesa gave a small grin, but then shook her head. "There's a strong sandstorm in between Nimbasa City and Castelia City. He's traversing it with a Fire and Dark type?"
Burgh nodded. "His Houndoom's tough, Elesa. You'll want to warn the citizens to keep their distance. Singed has an itchy trigger finger."
Elesa frowned, but quickly spoke again to Burgh. "It is our duty as Gym Leaders to solve problems. Besides, I've got some time."
Burgh sighed as he looked at Elesa. "Okay, but I'm warning you that he's dangerous. Proceed with caution, his Houndoom's not afraid of attacking people and Singed is more than willing to attack a person."
Elesa nodded. "Understood, thanks for the warning."
Burgh nodded then turned off his transceiver. Elesa walked over to one of the cars of her coaster, she was going to bring the fight to Singed. She almost chuckled, so much for an uneventful day.
