Welcome to Gaia! ::

"Not necessarily." I said to him. "Jackie was one of the more recent gym additions in Jhoto. As far as apprentices go. Im one of the older ones, not by age mind, but how long an apprenticing spot has been held. There's an apprentice in Blackthorn City that has been around just about that long. Kristy would be the one after that. And one other one that apprentices at the Steel Gym in Olivine City. Jackie would be the last one of the apprentices that would show up, which leaves Azelea town, Goldenrod, and Cianwood without one. Though Cianwood gets Apprentices it seems like every month because Chuck can't seem to keep anyone in there for one stupid reason or another. Emphasis on stupid. I don't even bother counting Cianwood until I see an apprentice there for at least six months."

"Nah, its just a matter of leader's discretion." I said. "A gym doesn't need an apprentice. It is recommended to have them though, so that a leader, whenever he or she retires, can leave the gym to someone they feel trustworthy instead of some random person that the Pokemon League could appoint. Bugsy of the Azalea gym and Whitney of the Goldenrod Gym doesn't have apprentices probably because of...well..." I thought for a moment. "I don't know, actually." I said, rubbing the back of my head. "I never really did ask them why. I would imagine that they would eventually."

I got fully up on my bed and laid back. "Well, if you don't intend on getting yourself anything to eat, you may want to just go ahead, finish off your Coke there, and go on ahead and get some rest. I got a feeling that you may make tomorrow into one fast paced one." I said. This was assuming, though Aden doesnt make this into a long night for himself or myself for that matter.

The next day came forth and I woke up there at the Pokemon Center. I sat up in bed and rubbed my eyes. Aden was apparently still asleep. I'd let him rest for the moment. He was going to be in for a long day it seemed. I slipped out of bed and slipped on my vest. I then would start getting ready for the day. Exercising a bit. Push ups here. Sit ups there. Then breakfast later.

I was in the middle of a push up when I looked up and saw the event unfold close by. "Well...that was a bit shocking." Miles is either laughing or cringing hard from a distance right now. "Morning, Aden."

"Don't know. I didn't really notice too much." I said as I went to finish the remainder of my push-ups. "...97...98...99...100...there." I said, standing back up. "So, hungry for breakfast? You should be needing to eat something by now, considering you didn't eat anything last night."

"Alright then, how about we head off to the center's cafeteria then while breakfast should still be being served." I said. "Then we can decide on what you want to do from there."

I lead the two through the hallways and off into the cafeteria. There wasn't many people there, if hardly any at all. We probably picked a good time to get here it seems. The buffet was a complete breakfast for any trainers to choose from. Pancakes, bacon, biscuits, eggs, hash browns, small 3 oz boxes of cereal, sausages, rather it be patties or links that one would prefer...it was virtually there for the choosing. I went to the cashier and paid for the meals for myself and Aden then headed off to get something to eat. "God, this is looking good..."
