With Ash right behind Pikachu and Staravia who had settled by Harmony's side earning happy pets, Dawn and Brock were not far behind.

"It's great to see you again!" Dawn says, finally taking notice of who was there.

"Nando you too!" Ash cries out happily.

"Yes, though regretfully the gym leader's not here," Nando sings.

Ash gets a shocked look on his face before running straight into the door making Harmony wince, "Huh? You've got to be kidding..."

"Ash! Watch where you're going!" Harmony cries out helping him get back up after falling

"Ash! Watch where you're going!" Harmony cries out helping him get back up after falling. "I've been here for three days, they haven't shown up once. I'm practically seething. The League should be on top of this," she tells him with a frown.

"Say it ain't so!?" Ash cries out unhappy they had come all this way for nothing.

"You here for a gym battle too?" Brock asks.

Nando nods, "Yes, and I was going to team up with my beautifully wonderful partner Kricketune.

"Hey, nice to meet you Kricketune!" Ash says pulling his Pokedex out and holding it up.

"Kricketune the cricket Pokemon and the evolved form of Kricketot. It conveys its many emotions with the melodies it composes."

"Wow!" Ash says watching Kricketune make a small melody.

"Yeah, a musical Pokemon sounds perfect for you Nando!" Dawn states

"You're very kind. Sadly it doesn't seem we'll get a chance to battle just yet,"

"What? What'll we do?" Dawn states.

"There's a note on the door," Brock points out.

Harmony scoffs, "Yeah the Gym Leader let to go on their own journey, yet they forgot to find a replacement or temporary placeholder. I'm so upset, this is why most Gyms have apprentices and or gym trainers that can take over for a brief amount of time," she points out. "I think the League doesn't know, so I filed a complaint yesterday after asking around with no answers. " she admits.

"Mainly because this could cause many trainers to miss out on getting a gym badge since it takes a good week or two to get to other gyms what happens if this gym leader is gone longer and doesn't show up when it's close to the conference? I'd rather the League know about this and solve it or at least update their sight to mention this gym is closed," she says frustrated.

"Right, like how my dad is looking after the gym even though I'm on a journey, that way the gym isn't empty," Brock says putting his hand under his chin. "I just wonder why they left it?"

"Man, that's just great! After all this, I feel like I'm gonna explode!" Ash cries out clearly as frustrated as Harmony was on the matter.

"I feel you so much Ash, I hate this, and I was looking forward to wipe the Ghost Gym Leader's pokemon down easily. Bubbles has been working on a Dark-type combo move just for this..." she says sadly.
