A smile crosses Roark's face as he walks through the mine. He lets his hand travel across the walls as his feet take him deeper.

"Oof!" He stumbles back from whatever he hit as a muffled thump comes from the ground.

"Hey, what was that for?" says someone. Roark looks down to see a trainer with a frown on their face and a Sandshrew trying to make sure they were okay.

"Sorry, I didn't see you there," the gym leader says with a tiny smile. He holds out his hand to help the trainer up. "My name's Roark. I'm the gym leader here."

They take his hand and he pulls them up. "I'm _____. I'm gonna challenge you tomorrow, cause right now Shrew and I are lookin for some gems for a costume."

Roark hums. "Costumes for Pokemon Pageants?"

_____ nods and turns back to what they were doing.

"If you'd like, I can help you. I know all the best spots to find things."

They chuckle softly and turn around to face Roark fully. "Are you offering because you're being nice, or because you wanna learn my weaknesses before tomorrow?"

Roark shrugs and starts walking. The smile on his face relaxes as he glances back to _____. "Maybe it's a little bit of both."
