Sinnoh Region - Oreburgh City Gym
Both Koishi, John, and Renamon finished their first gym trainer battle and ascended into the same room: a rugged yet embellished room made of rare rocks and minerals studded on the side. At the center of it stood Roark, the gym leader.
Roark was a young boy, but not as young as the youngsters John and Renamon saw. He wore a basic black shirt with gray and yellow short-sleeve jacket, along with the grey explorer's pants in similar design to the jacket. He had a red miner's hat with headlight on, cordovan hair, and black horn-rimmed glasses. On his feet sat a pair of all-purpose black boots. Koishi already has seen Roark before, but in the gym, Roark had a completely new aura: that of a trainer that can seriously give them a whooping, even in 3 to 1.
"Welcome, trainers." Roark said. "And welcome back, Koishi. I'm Roark, the Gym Leader. I'm but one Trainer who decided to walk proudly with Rock-type Pokemon. As the Gym Leader, I need to see your potential as a trainer. And, I'll need to see the toughness of the Pokemon that battle with you!"
