<div class="floatright">(http://i1066.photobucket.com/albums/u410/Limeyreptile/Marcus-1.png?t=1351026822)</div>Name: Marcus 'Marco' Carmac.<br/><br/>Location: Douglasburg Stadium<br/><br/>Tagging: Madison & Dravena<br/><br/>Current Pokémon: Aerodactyl, Topaz (Larvitar)<br/><br/><hr/><br/>"Don't underestimate yourself too much. If you weren't good enough to be in this battle: You wouldn't be a gym leader."<br/><br/>Marco smiled broadly at Dravena then turned back to Madison who had just twigged on to his strategy. He was thankful that someone else was at least a little optimistic about the battle ahead. If he had to be the only one with a shred of confidence then he could hardly see a convincing future ahead of the region's new gym leaders. He was a bit stumped about how he was going to get Dravena's confidence up though. If she lacked the conviction to fight now, what would she do later on, without friends to help her?<br/><br/>Ignoring that for now, Marco focused on Madison's addition to the plan and nodded: his confidence growing in the plan. "That's perfect! I have Aerodactyl who I'm pretty sure could lift Lucille. As for Confuse ray, as long as she throws it: It'll hit Brock's pokemon and knock it down to size."<br/><br/>Marco nodded, looking at his fellow gym leaders with a conviction. "I know it's kind of bad that we're in this situation so early in our careers...Fighting some of the stronger trainers in the land and with terrible typing matchups...But we are going to prove that Tetso is something fierce: We don't need to win, but we need to give 'em hell. I think we're about ready as we'll ever be though. Any questions?"
