"You're a fighter, too, hm??? I love competition, Melony!" He hummed loudly before snapping his eyes back at her.
"I'd love a tour. I had no idea you were the head honcho!"

"You can call me Melony, dear. I'm more or less in charge of this town and those who come into my gym to battle against me. Would you like to have a guide to the training grounds?"
"Oh, of course!"
She would turn and point to her left.
"There are glaciers just outside of the town you can use to train. I take my Pokemon there all the time to warm up their training."
"Small world..", the karateka said with a raspy growl. "I, too, am in my 40s...
Anyway.
The type a brother could smash... is the ice I desire."
Marco spoke with the utmost amount of seriousness.

"Young lady..? Oh my!"
Melony found herself in a giggle fit that caused tears to form at the corners of her eyes.
"Oh..pardon me. I'm just shocked to be called young. I'm in my forties, dear. However, I could assist you with your request, I think. What sort of ice are you looking for?"
@chillingxlove.bsky.social "Pardon me.. young lady.
I was in the area and noticed you have some strange affinity for ice.
May I, a humble karateka, borrow some..?"
