----------------------------------------------------------------

As we walked through Mossdeep City I had the radio playing on my PokeGear. It was the only way to get Pixie to be quiet since she was starting to get on my nerves a bit. When I thought that she had let it go about Steven apparently she started talking about it again not very long afterwards. It was really bothering me so that's why I had it on so she would get her mind off of it.

'...Just after our interview with Captain Stern there were witnesses who said that they saw him and a young teenager run into the harbor after overhearing the threat to steal the Submarine Explorer One...'

"Sounds interesting, huh? I wonder who could've stolen it, if they even did."

"Who knows but I'm going to bet that it was the work of Team Aqua."

"Why do you say that?"

"Aqua. Water. It makes sense to me."

"True...Oh hey! Is that the Gym?"

She pointed to a building ahead of us and she was right. It was the Gym. We ran over to the front entrance but before we could enter a Trainer came running out and almost ran into us.

"Hey! What's going on?" I asked.

"They're strong...The Gym Leaders that's what's going on. I recommend not going in there if I were you. They're too strong."

He then ran off but I didn't take his advice about not challenging the Gym. If they were strong then I had to fight them. Wait, I thought, Did he just say Gym Leaders?! I shrugged it off since it would only make it that much more challenging.

We entered the Gym into a lobby sort of place with dark blue walls, and a few tables and chairs scattered about. There were some lights on but most of the light in the room came from the windows on three of four of the sides of the room. In the middle there were two kids, a girl and a boy, at a table and they appeared to be fighting. They looked as if they were possibly twins and they were also probably younger than me. Were they the Gym Leaders?

"If you hadn't missed that attack then we would've lost!" the boy exclaimed.

"That's not true! We still would've won anyways! Maybe if you hadn't slacked off a bit then our attack wouldn't have missed since it was our attack combination."

"No! It would've been-"

"Um...Excuse me...?" I asked and they both turned to face us,"Uh...Are you guys the Gym Leaders? I'm here for a Gym Battle..."

"Yup! We're the Gym Leaders alright! I'm Liza and this is my little brother Tate," Liza said pionting to her brother.

"Hey! We were born on the same day!"

"Yes, but I was born first!"

"By like ten mintues."

"So what? I'm still older."

"Wow...Do they seriously have to keep fighting like this?" Pixie muttered.

I just shrugged my shoulders,"So, do you accept my challenge?"

"Huh? Oh, yeah! Of course!" Liza said.

"Sorry about that uh..."

"Sapphire. My name is Sapphire."

"Alright Sapphire. I guess we'll show you where the battlefield is then," said Tate.

We followed them to a door on the far side of the room and they opened it to reveal a huge room inside. The room had huge, bright overhead lights, the walls were dark blue and there were stars painted on them.
