As Alice waited in the Pokemon Center, she headed over to the PC. Her father had one in his lab so she knew how to use it. She accessed the area where her Pokemon were stored and then paused. No matter her attachments to her current team, she would have to pick Pokemon that would give her an advantage against Brock. She deposited Javelin for a moment and withdrew her new Pidgeotto, then headed outside.

Once outside the Center, she released the Pidgeotto. It was a large Pokemon and she was unsure whether it would be glad to have been captured or not. It circled in the sky for a while, presumably thinking over its new predicament, before flying down and landing before Alice. The breeze it's strong wings produced sent her hair flying.

"Geoootoooo?" The Pidgeotto cooed.

"I'm your new trainer," Alice said confidently. She knew it was important to make a strong impression on a new Pokemon. If it did not immediately accept you as its trainer, there would likely be problems raising it and getting it to obey.

The Pidgeotto squawked and flapped it's wings while Alice stood still, and then finally bowed, consenting.

"I think I'll name you Aria," Alice said. "Would you like to.do some training?"

Aria nodded, then took off, fast as lightning. Alice was very impressed by her speed.

Alice sent out Marionette and Fervor. Her Pokemon looked back at her curiously.

"I want you to to practice dodging attacks," she explained. "Aria is going to fly down and try and hit you." The two Pokemon looked up at the Pidgeotto flying above. "Ready? Then let's go!" She shouted loud enough for Aria to hear.

Marionette and Fervor scattered. Marionette used her Shadow Sneak attack to dodge Aria's moves, while Fervor focused on her flips. Aria's speed was definitely impressive, and it was a while before the Shuppet and Mankey learned how she moved and where she might strike next, so they could dodge the attacks.

After a while Alice spotted some of the group coming back tired the Center. Realising they were probably going to be battling the gym soon, she began to get a nervous feeling in her stomach. She returned her team and headed back into the Center where she began to pace a bit as she waited for the others.
