After having spent some time in Birch researching where all of Arciel's Gyms were located, as well as what each leader's specialty was, Josh decided Bass City's Water-specialty Gym would be the easiest first target. The second biggest reason he could never qualify for the League back home in Johto was how stacked the Gym Leaders in general were against electric specialists. Of course, no badge would be easy to obtain. His very hometown's Gym was notorious for halting many a Gym Challenge.
With an immediate destination in mind, Josh stocked up on supplies in the morning, making his way to the overlook outside Birch's north gate and took in the view. There was patchy snow covering the fields and major thoroughfare of Route 1, yellow grasses surrounding the dirt road. Looking down the steep slope, it didn't appear too slippery. The only problem was the biting cold. A large system had passed to the north of West Arciel overnight, bringing with it a clear sky and frigid temperatures.
Josh released five of his six Pokémon, the team eager to explore with him. He felt bad for Nitro, the only one kept in a Poké Ball, but it was for the Skiddo's own good - it was far too cold out for a Grass-type to do anything but hibernate and maybe participate in a brief skirmish with a wild Pokémon or trainer. And that was still a maybe. Aslan ran right up to the edge of the overlook, the Litleo letting out a cute but still loud roar as though he were announcing his passage through. Sparks flew from Saber and Blitz as the two tried to run circles around each other. Illumina floated inside a sphere of water just above the surface, not worried about the cold at all; Chinchou often hunted on the sea floor in temperatures and pressures far more harsh than what she was being exposed to.
That left Twilight, an Absol that stood nearly as tall as his trainer. She was emotionless and expressionless as ever as Josh strapped her tack into place, making sure she was comfortable before swinging his leg over her back and mounting up. "Listen up, everyone," he addressed his team as a whole. "I know the Johto Gym Challenge was a big struggle. It always has been. But I'm confident we can handle this one. There's a Gym a couple towns north that is our best bet to get our feet wet in Arciel's Gym Challenge. How about we get ourselves a Badge?!" The fleet-footed electric and fire types all sounded cries of excitement and anticipation. "Great. Twilight and I will lead the way. Let's--" Blitz, Saber, and Aslan raced down the trail to the valley between Birch and Cedar, the Electrike in particular having so much stored energy that he was constantly discharging electricity the entire way down. "I said Twilight will lead the way!" he shouted. "Come on, Twilight, we have to make sure they stay out of trouble!" With that, the trainer and his majestic, white Pokémon chased after the rest of his team.
