Here's today's special broadcast, live in Kokom City! As you all know, Kokom is located in the middle of the forest, and now we're standing in front of the town's temple! "Dedicated to the Three", this sign reads. Let's go inside and see if anyone's there?
???: Ah, hello.
A woman, with her back turned to us, is lighting the candles at the temple's altar.
???: I have heard it from the townsfolk. You are here in the temple to interview the Gym Leader, are you not?
Yes, that is true! Can you tell us where the Gym Leader is?
???: Oh, you must not know. I am the Gym Leader of this place. My name is Anthea.
Anthea: At least, that's my common name. The priestesses here have separate names given by the spirits. Come, make yourself at home: the temple is a gift from the spirits to us all. So, what is it that you want to know?
We want to tell the people in the big cities all about the Gym Leaders! What is your main occupation in the temples?
Anthea: I prepare the altars so that we may give our blessings to the Three. They are the spirits that have granted us what we have. And, as a Gym Leader, I welcome the challengers and battle them. Not here in the temple, of course. The battles are held in the forest to keep the temple for visit and prayer only.
That's certainly... Interesting. Why did you choose to do this task?
Anthea: It is a birthright. I am but a humble spirit sworn to protect the order the Trio have blessed us with. I hope to guide the trainers and travelers here down a rightful path!
Can you tell us anything about your battles?
Anthea: I have sworn to keep most of it a secret and, like I have dedicated my life to the Trio, I will not leave that promise. I can, however, tell you one thing: I fight alongside with nature. To not disturb the order of nature, we only battle with the Pokemon we find in our area. This will help us preserve nature, and it allows us insight into how the Pokemon act - and fight - naturally. To the trainers who see this balance and defeat me in battle, I hand out the Nature Badge.
That is a great philosophy.
Anthea: That is true. But now, I must return to the altar. May the blessings of the Three be with you.
Thanks, bye! Well, that's one person who's dedicated to her religion. This was our broadcast, signing out!
