A Challenger Denied [Gayle & Morty]

[Gayle Summers]

The child frowned, arms crossed, facing away from his destination. Hmph, well, he supposed it wouldn't hurt to ask for a gym battle. Still, were there even enough people in a gym? Weren't gym's dirty anyway? Obviously, his flawlessness was needed here--
Groaning, the male faced the door, and reached out for it and knocked.
"Hello?" He said, sighing slightly, "Is the gym leader here? May I ask for a battle?"

Of course, in this instance he needed to at least seem polite. Nrgh, manners. Difficult to follow the rules of such...

Gayle almost decided to peek in, when he saw the shadow of a figure heading toward the door, Perhaps that was the gym leader... Morty, right? Wasn't that his name?
Ugh, the gym gave off quite the uncomfortable presence... The same sort of one he'd gotten when he'd been given Lirari... Ah, ghost types irked him...

Shrugging it off, though, Gayle waited for the figure to come closer and explain just what was going on. He supposed that if they weren't going to let him challenge them, they were obviously just too scared of the outcome. He almost snorted at that, but kept his composure just barely as the figure was close enough now to speak and for himself to hear.

[Morty]

The Ecruteak ghost type specialist gym had been quiet for a long period of time, which was a good thing. Morty was awaiting for... something. He hadn't had the best vision for what it was yet, he just knew that it was important and that it would happen soon. The vision was very confusing, but it indicated a trainer and himself conversing about defeating some form of evils.

When the gym door opened, it did manage to catch him by surprise. He didn't expect his new challenger to be this soon. He felt the cold breeze reach its way through the gym and alert him of a challenger. He then heard their voice, asking for him and he decided to make his way outside.
"I'm here, yes. But I'm unable to battle you, Gayle." He looked over to the young... man? "It is Gayle, yes?" He had confidence it would be, because his visions had told him so, but at the same time he had to check as to seem somewhat... Ordinary?

[Gayle Summers]

Gayle was shocked to hear his name uttered so quickly without him introducing himself. It had actually frightened him a little, and he promptly jumped. Shaking his head, he quirked his eyebrow. "How do you know my name...?" The male said with a very confused expression, "Yes, I'm Gayle. How'd you know? I never introduced myself..."
Urgh, how frustrating, though. "Aw, no battle?" He said with a frown, almost a pout. He should've expected as much, though... Gym leaders always said they were busy. Normally he'd've reacted with "busy, my foot", but the Gym Leader here had never explicitly stated he was busy-- just that he couldn't battle. Well, nuts.

"Why not?" He wondered, making a now quizzical-looking face, "Is there something you have to do?"
Unfortunately, whether the question were or were not answered, Gayle's reaction wouldn't change. He'd sigh, and whine about how difficult it was to get to Ecruteak either way.
