Lauren winked at Sarah when she spotted her before sitting back to watch her performance once again impressed that Sarah was reviling herself as a hybrid, though at the same time she remembered that night they spent toguther and blushed softly as well.<br/><br/>She leaned forward as she listained to the song, though also used her powers to keep an eye on things just in case, while the judges had keep themselves in control, there was always going to be someone that tried to start something. Lauren was prepared to act as necessary to protect her friends.<br/>--<br/>Derek shrugged in the end and assumed Toni had not heard him, which was a little annoying but he accepted that how things went, he made his way to the gym, going though his team once more. It was a shame he did not have a bug move on his Megadon, but he knew its speed was still give him an edge over his foes.<br/><br/>After waiting in line for about 10 minutes or so, he finally entered the gym, he bowed to Shadow and was told this would be the last battle for about an hour or so, so Shadow pokemon could have a proper long rest as it had been a long day for the gym leader.<br/><br/>Derek nodded but in the back of his mind, he realised that this would mean the gym leader pokemon would not be at 100% so instead he said he would battle Shadow tomorrow as he wanted to fight the gym leader at his strongest, which Shadow agreed with so Derek left to go train, as the Gym was closed for the rest of the day though Derek was going to be first to face him tomorrow, so Derek went off to train his team once more to be ready for Shadow.
