Shadow-
"Here we are… the Verisine gym!"
It didn't look much like a gym. It looked more like a dance club, to be honest. The place looked to be rather busy, with plenty of people walking in, and very few walking out.
VK and I stood there, listening to our 'tour guides' Colin and Jonathan as they continued to tell us each tiny detail about the gym.
"Hey, what about Manuel? Is there anything special about him?"
"Huh? Oh, Manuel is a DJ. He mixes music live on stage and everything. Nothing can be cooler than that!"
Colin began to go on and on about Manuel, and how 'amazing' he was. I began to walk towards the entrance, when an usher stopped me.
"Name please."
Name? Why would they need my name? Before I could stop him, VK opened his mouth.
"That's Shadow, and I'm VK."
"Well then, 'VK', you aren't on the list. Neither of you are."
'List'? What kind of gym was this, anyways?
"W-"
I stopped myself. If this wasn't actually the gym, the last thing I wanted to do was-
"We're here to challenge the gym, sir!"
I covered my face. I just made a fool of myself in front of everyone, VK included.
"A battle? Oh, I think we can arrange something…"
The usher finally let us in to the noisy club, but no sooner did we enter than the entire crowd fell silent as an announcement came through the speakers.
"Ladies and Gentleman, never have we been so lucky as to have TWO challengers in one go! Please welcome the challengers to the Verisine City Gym!"
The crowd returned to their noisy state, but instead of talking, they were all cheering our names. What did I get myself into?
