Gloria walks up to the school in Stow-on-Side after having slept quite a bit of the morning away with Marnie and Bea. It had been hilarious watching the fighting type trainer go ballistic when she realized how late it was, and ran out the door in her borrowed pjs to make sure she got her morning run in.
While Bea did her morning run, Marnie helped Gloria with the food prep for all the Pokémon. The dark type trainer nearly slices a finger off while dicing, due to the lingering desire for a cigarette in her system.
After each of them had cleaned up, and Marnie and Gloria shared a good laugh at Bea's expense upon her return, they headed to Stow-on-Side together. From there Marnie heads to Spikemuth and Bea runs home to get some things, with the plan to meet at Hammerlocke.
Gloria said she would handle breaking Allister out of the prison that is school. Although worried, Bea begrudgingly agrees to leave it to her and they head in separate directions.
With a smile present on her face, Gloria approaches the school. She might not know exactly where in the school Allister is, but she had come prepared. Poe, due to Allister's unique sensitivity to ghost types, would be able to sense him. For getting into the school she brought Alice, her Hatterne, along for teleport. Everything else would be up to her, and she will figure it out as she goes.
"Ok Alice, get me inside," she calls out, and opens the pokeball to reveal Hatterne who teleports them both into the hallways of the school. Smartly she had waited till a class had just started to ensure the minimum number of people in the hallways. Returning her Pokémon, she bolts into a bathroom and and calls out Poe. After a few moments he cries out having figured out where Allister was. Despite not being able to fully understand Poe, they have been partners long enough for Gloria to get the gist.
Just as she is about to go, she hears some girls coming her way. Mind in overdrive, she returns Poe and bolts into one of the stalls.
"Uck," one of the girls who enters the stalls say. "I can't stand school, such a waste of time,"
"I know, they could teach us everything we need to know and get us out of school and going probably three years earlier," another girl states.
"Exactly," a third girl chimes in.
"Shut up Veronica!" the other two yell at her.
"Sorry, Veronicas," the third girl responds as Gloria thinks over the fact of there being three girls sharing the same name in the same grade of a school this small.
"Go check the stalls," the bossiest of the bunch orders, and Gloria facepalms. Not sure what else to do, she flushes and comes out of the stall to go wash her hands. The three Veronica's watch her, looks of disgust on their faces as Gloria washes her hands.
"What's with that look?" the bossy one asks once Gloria finishes. "You trying to pretend to be cool by dressing like the Champion used to. Don't you know that look was so three years ago?" All three of them laugh, and Gloria winces at the comment while going over to dry her hands.
"No response huh?" The second one chuckles. "Too dumb to talk probably," Gloria just shakes her head and sighs.
"There are always people like you in these schools huh," Gloria sighs again and goes to walk out the door.
"What's that suppose to mean?" The bossy ones barks.
"Nothing," Gloria says shaking her head then leaves the bathroom behind and goes running down the hallways.
Just before getting to where Allister should be she hears.
"YOUNG LADY!" from a voice behind her. Groaning she turns around and see a teacher marching towards her. "There is no running in the hallways,"
