After a couple minutes, they finally got a message from Rose and Kyo saying they were on their way. Meghan said they could go into the gym now. Brandon released Primeape from his pokeball, intending to get him ready to fight. As he walked into the gym, however, a sign next the door read "No fighting types or fairy types. Only 4 Pokemon permitted in the 4 vs 4 battle and 5 Pokemon permitted on the 5 vs 5 battle".

Brandon looked at Primeape and said to him "Sorry buddy, looks like your going to have to sit this one out Primeape". The Primeape looked at the sign, disappointed and angry. He let out an annoyed "PRIMEE APE APE!" and shook his fist at the sign. Brandon rubbed the little fighting types head and tried to calm him down "I know your disappointed, trust me I am too, you would have done well at this gym. But rules are rules." The primeape looked up at it's trainer a little sad, but it also seem to understand. It pointed at it's Pokeball that was clipped to Brandon's belt, letting Brandon know he was ready to return to his ball. Brandon smiled at the little fighting type as he unclipped the ball and pressed the button. As the Pokemon started to disappear in a flash of light Brandon said to it "See you soon buddy, rest easy!".

Once Primeape was back in his ball, he clipped the ball back to his belt and looked around the gym. He noticed a counter by the wall where Nurse Joy and a healing machine stood. It seemed Meg was right, there was a healing machine in the gym. It was the first time Brandon had ever seen one in a gym, but he wasn't complaining. He temporarily called Skipper and Swampert back to their balls, so they could be healed. Then he walked over to Nurse Joy and handed all but Primeape's ball over to her. He smiled at her as she greeted him and placed his Pokemon on the machine. A few beeps and flashes later, she handed them back to him, all healed up.

He thanked her and then released Skipper, Swampert and Parasect from their Pokeballs, allowing them to stretch and talk a bit before the gym battle. He would have released Beedrill, but based on the ridiculous reaction people have of Beedrills around here, he figured it was best to keep him in the ball until it was time for him to fight.

He walked up to the gym leader Sloane, she was a tall woman, with black hair pulled back into a bun. She wore a white rope and had eyeliner and lipstick on. A Umbreon stood behind her, looking at him and then up the gym leader. As Meghan and the others entered the gym behind him, Sloane said "So you’re the infamous trainers I’ve heard so much about. Well, let’s see if your power lives up to your reputation." Brandon nodded at the gym leader and said "Yes indeed we are, and don't worry, I can assure you, you won't be disappointed!"

He looked to his Pokemon to see if they were ready, they each nodded at him to let him know they were ready to fight. Then Brandon looked back at Sloane and said "Alright, we're ready, let's do this! Out of respect, you may go first."

Sloane looked at him and said "Let the moonlight guide you, but don’t look too closely, otherwise the darkness will blind you." as she released a Sableye. Brandon wasn't sure what that meant, but either way he wanted to get this show on the road so he looked at Skipper and told him "Alright buddy, let's do this thing, your up first. Take care of that Sableye." Skipper nodded and stepped in front of the Sableye. After a few moments of eyeing each other up, it began!
