"Ever since Gyarados started behaving like this, we've had to close the gym to all visiting trainers," said Daisy. "And I had to skip this rad beauty contest too, cause we've been too busy trying to calm things down here."

Pikachu looked through the glass viewing window, on the other side of which, it could see Gyarados still shooting back and forth, whilst most of the other Pokémon were huddled in corners, trying to keep out of harm's way.

"Horsea, Starmie! I missed you!" said Misty excitedly as she ran up to the glass in order to greet her old Pokémon friends.
