Author's Note: Volkner's energy-wasting abilities are truly impressive…
Wasteful
"Wait a minute, Volkner." Orangen put a hand on her hip as she looked over at the Gym Leader. "Before we start our battle, there's something I need to ask you."
"What?" Volkner sighed.
"I hear you caused a blackout recently, yes?"
"Don't mention it," he grumbled.
"Well, anyway, what I want to know is… How is that even possible? I mean, half the roads here are solar panels."
"Your point is?"
"My point is, the solar panels should constantly be providing Sunyshore with at least a little bit of power, right? So how could there still be a blackout? Not to mention, you use Electric-Types, so couldn't you use them to generate some power?"
Volkner stared blankly at her for a moment before replying weakly, "I… I'm just really wasteful, okay? Don't question it; they needed some reason for you to not come here earlier."
