Cedric hadn't thought either of the two trainers would have accepted the job offer, considering it was on the shortest possible notice and being a Gym Leader was a lifetime's worth of responsibility, but both Lexi and Skylar looked pretty pumped up as they signed their forms and gave them back to the impromptu secretary. Of course, Surge had done most of the footwork for recruiting the members of the new Seastorm League, so it shouldn't have been that much of a surprise that he would know a leader when he saw one. The Grass-type leader could still remember the day Surge came by his lab in Hiddenbloom and offered him the position. He had flat-out refused at first for personal reasons, but the Colonel hadn't let up until he finally gave in out of exhaustion. Time still had to tell how that decision would work out, though.<br/><br/>"Surge is probably off getting all of the events ready. We'll see him when we get out there, anyway," Cedric answered Skylar truthfully, since he had yet to even see the officer himself since arriving in Douglasberg yesterday. He was a busy man, no denying that, especially now that one of their Gym Leaders had dropped out out of fear and they had no gym in place for whichever of these two happened to win the match. And once the gym<em>was</em>ready, they still had to find trainers to fill in to test the challengers and make sure each is worth to face the Leader at all, and then they had to train those trainers, and design the badges... It was going to be a rough road.<br/><br/>For now, Skylar's question about the rest of the Elite Four members was ignored for more important matters, as Cedric gave a look toward both the nearby Elektra and the slightly farther away Katsuo. "When everything gets underway, I need to talk to you two about yesterday," he told them both in a tone of importance, then tucked away the forms Lexi and Skylar had signed and took a seat at the table. Meanwhile, Turtwig finished inhaling his breakfast and jumped up into the chair next to Cedric, eagerly awaiting more food or more attention.
