Tatsuo sipped on his tea as he sat on the table with his fellow Dragonian tribesmen. Around him, was Yugo and Iris, their caretaker pouring more tea, pushing a cup towards Iris.

"Thank you," she smiled as she sipped on the tea. "Mmmm it's fantastic!"

"Why that's wonderful to hear," the lady wore a proud smile as she turned towards Tatsuo. "Would you like some more?"

Tatsuo's face hardened. "With all due respect elder, I have other things on my mind than just tea at the moment,"

His Garchomp growled in agreement as it took a big gulp of it's food that was laid out on the ground. Iris set her teacup down.

"We all feel the same way, but right now, the only thing we can do is wait. Plus, aren't you the one training Corvis?" she asked. "How is his progress?"

Tatsuo crossed his arms together, sitting back and let out a breath of doubt. "He's skilled in hand to hand combat no doubt. It's clear he had a good teacher, but as Drakkon's descendent, he's still a baby drake. He has no idea how to fully utilize the Dragon Gift, I'm not even sure if he fully accepted it or not,"

He raised his head and looked at the celing. "At this rate, it's hard to say whether or not if I have any faith in our alpha's chosen,"

"Have faith young ones," the elder spoke, "Faith is the invisible string that ties us down, Hope is the invisible shield that protects us from doubt, if Corvis doesn't know yet, he will know soon, besides...." The elder smiled.

"I received news he arrived at Sootopolis City not too long ago,"

Yugo's eyes widened. "Ooh! Does that mean he'll battle him?"

The elder set her teacup down. "We already accepted him as Drakkon's descendent, but whether or not the alpha will, well,"

She smiled.

"We'll find out soon,"

"So uhhhh...anyone else thought it would've maybe been a water gym?" Ethan asked.

No reply as everyone else was staring in awe. It's true that they just arrived in Sootopolis the previous day and immediately everyone fell in love with the architecture. It was as if the city was truly one with the water with its residents being so friendly as well. And as usual, Corvis didn't want to waste any further time getting to the gym.

The wall between him and his final badge was here and today, he would finally fill in tht=at empty spot in the badge case.

But right now, it was a different story. The interior of the gym was huge as expected, but the colors immediately shocked everyone. A deep purple decorated it, with curtains as if it looked like a hall for a king. The field looked already broken, as if a hard battle had occurred not too long ago.

But what caught Corvis' attention, was what was standing along the sides of the field.

Stone statues of various dragon type pokemon from all over the words. From as simple a statue of a Dragonite from the Kanto region to a Dragalge from the Kalos region. They decorated the hallway beautifully, as if they fitted perfectly along with the theme of the gym. The gym of the typing which he just found out.

"A dragon type gym," he breathed in awe.

"Exactly, my little drake," a voice boomed throughout the field, catching everyone's attention. They all turned to the other end of the field where they saw someone walking out. Immediately t the sight of him, Corvis felt a chill run down his spine, as if his legs wanted to give out and kneel in front of him. "Why are you all standing there, you going to battle from there?"
