A Day with Gordie

While walking around town, Scottie found Gordie and the Masked Royal having a Pokémon battle.

Go, Masked Royal!

Go, Gordie!

The crowd is pumped to the max!

Coalossal and I will get 'em even more excited!

Thanks! That was a great experience.

Of course a professional wrestler would be an expert at rousing the crowd.

You put on a fascinating show, too, better than some pro wrestlers I've seen!

How flattering to hear such words from the Masked Royal himself.

Let's battle before a bigger crowd next time!

We'll face each other again! Bye for now!

Oh, hello, Scottie. What did you think of my battle?

Thank you!

Of course, that's how I do it.

I aim to battle in a way the crowd can enjoy.

I think that's one way I can show people how great Pokémon are.

Although some people think I don't take battling seriously.

It's a shame people think that, but I don't plan to change anytime soon.

I'll show them how strong I am by battling my own way.

That's why I'm planning to learn many things here on Pasio.

No, not enough.

It's the least I can do.

My mum would probably tell me to be more "severe."

You might already know, but my mum is an Ice-type Gym Leader.

She trained me from a young age to be a Gym Leader.

But I didn't like how she was pushing her style on me, so I left home.

Since then, I've been training to be better than her.

I guess...

It's not that.

It's true I chose Rock-type Pokémon because I wanted to go against my mum.

But now I'm completely fascinated by them.

I'm fighting every day to change the image that Rock-type Pokémon are boorish.

Thank you very much!

Yes, it is.

It's going to be a tough road, but I don't plan on stopping.

I'll show you our determination to reach our ideals through battle, just like climbing a steep cliff.
