Duh, of course it would! My gym is the best! [Or maybe that's just a personal bias that most gym leaders have about their own gyms.] Plus, I'm curious to see what kinda Pokemon you've got that could go up against mine--being from Kanto, I expect them to give us an interesting challenge, got it?

[ Red's about to say that he couldn't possibly pick a favorite gym, they're all his favorite - but then he picks up on the challenge in her words and perks up, suddenly looking more than a little competitive. ]

Y-Yeah! You bet! My pokémon are really strong, too!

[venoshocks]

Good! That's what I like to hear!

[She plays an excited riff on the guitar that's still hanging around her.] Then it's a date--I can't wait to see what Pokemon you'll bring against our toxic offense!

[...She doesn't exactly mean date in the romantic way, just so you know.]

[ Well, regardless of what you meant, Red's still going to blush REALLY hard again at the word date. If Roxie got a nickel for every time Red was flustered in her presence, it would probably bring in more revenue than her concert tickets. ]

A-A date?

...I--I mean, YEAH, uhh, of course, I'll be there! I-I don't know when yet, but I'll definitely come battle you at your gym...!

[Cute. Roxie then reaches out to give Red a shoulder-punch, but not too hard.]

Good, 'cause I'll hold you to that promise! Just don't keep me waiting too long, ya hear?

[leaguechallenge]

[And Red still wobbles a bit from it, because he's Red.]

I--I won't, Roxie! I promise, I'll come battle you a-as soon as I can!
