As Danielle continued to show off her excitement, at this point going into her own little world of imagination by making some speech that was tuned out by the others, Elliott turned to the Pikachu,<span style="font-style: italic">”I don’t know either. I think it’s a place to get stronger or something? But Danielle is excited about it, and I feel something burning inside me, too!”</span>He stretched a little and let out a yawn to wake up a little more. In spite of the energy now following through him, the Bulbasaur could use a little rest and perhaps a few battles in order to really be kicked into gear. He was ready to fight, he wanted to fight, it was something within his being. He was more than ready to face whatever this gym was going to throw at him. Evidently, the others were feeling the same way as well.<br/><br/><span style="font-style: italic">“I’ll make Danielle proud!”</span>Daisy chirped, oblivious to the fact that, like Bruce, she wouldn’t be participating in the gym battle either. Still, she was excited, and that seemed to make Danielle smile even though she technically could not understand what the Pokémon were saying to each other. All she gathered from it was that they were looking forward to today.<br/><br/><span style="font-style: italic">“We all will!”</span><br/><br/><span style="font-style: italic">“Yeah, I’ll bet.”</span>Bruce grumbled from his corner. He was bummed out about not participating.<br/><br/>Unfortunately the Nidoran had gone unheard by Daisy and Elliott. The little bird and the Bulbasaur continued to show their excitement with Danielle. Daisy chirped a giggle, though she wasn’t really sure where this was all coming from either. Must have been the overall atmosphere in the room; everyone was excited thanks to Danielle and her being a morning person, stirring them all up. The young girl, who really did have way too much energy, had picked up the Bulbasaur, spinning around the room with him in her arms. He wasn’t sure what it was all about, and it made him dizzy, but as long as she and everyone else was happy and full of energy he was going to be happy, too. That was how it worked, right? Well, it was a good thing all the excitement had died down as quickly as it erupted.<br/><br/>Danielle took in a slow breath to calm down, put Elliott back on the bed, and then smiled, “Well! Let’s get started right away! Oh, but first. Who wants breakfast?”
