A Weekend of Inspection Part 1

After a weekend of teaching the Warrior Tasks, Ash and Lillie are now with Alice, Eve, Drandon, Mark, Serena, Gladion, Emily, and Paul. The 10 of them are now at the entrance of the golden dorm with their stuff packed. Serena asks, "So where are we going for this weekend? Are we really having a trip?"

"Of course." Mark says, "Because of the appearance of the Warrior Tasks, we'll need to inspect all the gym leaders to see if they can handle the weapons very well."

"Gym Leaders...you mean our friends, right?" Gladion asks, "We have been practicing this together for a long time, and why are we going to inspect them when we know how they are capable of."

Ash says, "The gym inspection is different from the normal person inspection. We have to go to their gyms or Elite 4 fields and have them test out their weapons in their fields, not only that, but we will also have to report this to the Pokemon League Association, as Mr. Goodshow is very strict with this kind of stuff."

"But how are you going to finish it within 2 days? Don't you forget that it took us two weeks to finish the whole Knight Challenge? There isn't have that much time to do this." Paul says with concern.

Lillie says, "I won't worry about that, because there were Gary and the others, so we wouldn't want them to know the secret of traveling. But now they are still in detention, so we won't need to worry about them. You'll know about it once you follow us."

The group then walks towards the Principal office, the 4 bullies, who had just finished their work, decide to check what they are doing as they aren't going to have them get away this time. But just as they arrive at the Principal's office, Ash takes out a book on the shelf and then the shelf starts to move on its own, causing a small passage to reveal itself.

"I never knew there is something here..." Emily says, Alice adds, "This path leads to the Teleportation Panels, when a challenger has arrived at the gym, we would use this to quickly get there to battle against them."

"I think I have seen those teleportation panels since we had some back in the Aether Foundation." Gladion says as they enter the small passage, but they are surprised to see the amount of the panels, and there are actually 18 of them.

"There sure is a lot of panels, where are each of them go?" Serena asks, and Ash says, "We have 14 gyms and 3 Elite 4 fields. The final one is the League where Champion uses to battle those who managed to beat the Elite 4."

"But why only three Elite 4 fields? I thought that Elite 4 consists of four members?" Serena asks, and Eve says, "My field is actually in this RPA, as I am the Regional Professor of the region."

"I see." Paul says. "So where are we going first?"

Ash says, "We should go to the Silkan Gym to see how Nate is doing." Ash opens one of the panels as they step inside, then they are all teleported away to the Silkan City.

At the same time, the 4 bullies are watching and Gary says, "So they are going to the gyms, huh?"

Misty says, "We couldn't leave because of them...so what are you planning?"

Trip says, "What if we ask the Principal to let us challenge the gyms? That way we can show who is better in this school."

"The problem is that will she agrees to let us go?" Iris mutters as they continue to do their detention.

Back with Ash and his friends, they arrive at the library of RPA. Gladion asks, "Why are we here in the library? Is this where the Gym is?"

"That's right." They turn around and they see Nate walking towards them. "Remember not to be loud as others are here to read some books."
