The Robotic Utopia of the Future - Tunik (Open)

Kenna: Well that was an interesting battle.

Hillary: I.. I apologize for Ekans once again.

Kenna: H-hey in the end no harm was permanently done, it's okay!

"We'll...." Dimitri started before correcting himself "She'll train it out of him, it won't happen again"

Tao watched, faint smile. "He sticking up for her now. Interesting."

Kenna: Well if that's all, I'll be closing up the gym for awhile.

Hillary: You are? What for?

Kenna: I'm going on Vacation, Hehe~

"T...then thank you for having us as your last opponents" Dimitri said

"...every gym leader needs a break from time to time" Minnie said

"you too did really well out there...." Sect congratulated "....I hope some day you will be able to challenge me at full force" he said "but, we gotta get going" he walked up to Kenna, resting a hand on her shoulder

"w...wait......" Minnie thought "W...when did that ha....."

"Tell your dad I said hi Minnie" Sect said

Tao started to head outsid.e

*Hillary walked outside before something clicked*

Hillary:....Wait... Sect knows your Father, Minnie?

Dimitri followed them out of the gym, looking on at Minnie after hearing Hillary's remark

"....my Dad is a gym leader" she said "....Poison Type, the Miasma's Frankenstein" she said "....also, a scientist like Sect is.... well, not like Sect, my dad is more in the commercial products, specializing in experimental machinery" she explained "...the gym leaders get together once in a while so they know one another"

Speaking of gyms, who's next? Tao asked.

Hillary: We shall be fighting Minnie's father in the future...
I am feeling that is something we should have been knowing sooner, but we have not really asked a lot about each other in the first place...

"....If my guess is right, you'll be overcoming a similar hurdle soon enough" Minnie said "Hollowvine has the closest gym, the Professor in town runs it" she said

"wait.... we started off there, why didn't we challenge that gym first!?" Dimitri asked confused

"...well, first of all, you likely wouldn't have beat him just starting out, and secondly..... well, by the time I joined your adventure, you were already over half way to Acropia!" she said "trust me, based on where we met, I am taking you the most efficient route possible, even if we have to head through a Marsh to get there...." Minnie explained "Trust me, it's the quickest route we can take and hit the gyms"

"I'm going to call mom, and get rooms ready for us when we get there then." Tao heads to the pokemon center. 'You guys get you pokemon healed up."

Hillary: Of course. *Hillary gathered her 3 pokeballs, taking them over to Nurse Joy*

Dimitri went to heal up his Pokemon too

"....seems like it may take a while..... to get there, we have to go though a bog first"

Tao talks to his mother over the phone. "Really, cool! yeah, We will meat you there. Alright, love you two mom." he hangs up. "Ok, so My mom told us she would meat us in the bog, she had found some fossils there, and is cheeking them out with Aunt Summer."

"w.....wait..... why is she down?" Dimitri asked confused "I mean.... it's a long trip to make down, and everything....." Dimitri said, joining back after dropping off his Pokemon

"Summer Battlus, a dragon type specialist, and the mother of Dimitri here" Minnie said, catching Hillary up to speed

"H...how did you know?" he asked surprised

"...well, aunt, you two are cousins.... and your dad's a somewhat public figure" she explained slowly

Hillary: ..... THE Summer Battlus? 
That... is quite the surprise... *She said as she gave Dimitri a look of wonder, they kind of look that's saying "Seriously?" but at the same time it's also saying "....Seriously?"*

"Yeah." Tao said. "She is one of the best trainers in the world."

"They aren't that good" Dimitri said, looking at Hillary with a faint smile "people have beaten them, people will beat them" he said

Hillary: *Hillary Smirked right back* ...Well I do not know about you but I shall be joining the list of those who will beat them

Tao smiles. 'Good luck." EH said.

"....Do you really think I am going to sit back and be second fiddle to them?" he asked "they are going down"

Hillary: Then it is settled.
We shall be defeating them. *She had a look of confidence in her eyes*

"Then ask for a battle when we see them." Tao said.

"First her, then Dad" he said, looking at Hillary, for a few seconds too long, before turning away "T....that confidence....that.....passion" he thought to himself "Let's get to the bog and get it underway"
