Marnie: But I won’t let you win that easily either. I still have Spikemuth’s reputation to uphold ya know. So even tho you’re my friend, don’t take it personal when I kick your butt.

Serena: Hehe. I wouldn’t have any other way.

Piers: Right then. Let’s get this battle underway.

Serena: But, why are you my last challenge?

Marnie: I’m the new Spikemuth gym leader, remember?

But also, you’ve been my friend for a long time Serena. You’ve always been there for me more times than I can count. So i wanted to be here for you now during your gym challenge.

Serena: Marnie..

Serena: But, if it’s not you, then who is it?

Marnie: It’s me. I’m your last opponent.

Serena: Marnie???

Rhyhorn: Rawr?

Serena: Well now that we know who you are Citlali, is there anything we could do for you? You know, to make up for the misunderstanding?

Citlali: Well I could go for some drinks.

Gloria: Like juice?

Citlali: *sigh* Why must I always be around children. 😓

Rhyhorn: Rawr rawr?

Citlali: Oh hello little one. Are you with these kids too?

Serena: That’s Rhyhorn. He’s my little buddy.

Citlali: I see. He kinda reminds me of the Saurians back home. And judging by his size, I’d say he’s only a few years old.

Serena: We won’t pry anymore Citlali. Your age doesn’t matter to us.

Citlali: *sigh* Well everyone back home always called me Granny. Guess it won’t matter if people start calling me that here too.
