Danielle returned Bruce to his PokéBall for a much needed rest. “Alright, Brock! I’m ready for you!” She shouted out, with a fire burning brightly in her eyes. “Show yourself!” That victory had her really pumped up and ready for some action. She was still bouncing a little; if she bounded a little more, the ground might as well have been a trampoline. She was more than ready to win that badge! Nothing was going to stop her, she had come too far. More importantly, she couldn’t wait to write home to her parents, talking all about how her first gym battle went, she was sure they’d be proud of her. Were they even worried about her at all? They had to be worried! Even if they pretended they weren’t, she just knew they would want to hear from her. But she was getting a little ahead of herself, no? This was not over yet.
