Jimmy watched the new trainers open there pokemon and study them. It brought back a lot of memories from his early days. 

David waleed over to him with a simile. [i]"Hey Jim...its been awhile....has your pokemon gotten any stronger?"[/i] 

Jimmy smile at this, see the last time they had a match it did not end in Jimmy's favor and ever since he has been working towards getting better as a Gym leader. 

"Hello David, it has been a while  hasn't it? My pokemon are doing fine and I can see that yours are too." He said then gestured to Jolteon.

He followed the group outside and watched the match being. He like the strategy of Ray, and noted the boys patience while he battled. He stepped up behind David and smiled at the two trainers who just battled. 

"I agree with David, your pokemon will grow up to be strong." He said proudly. 

Then he heard about a battle brewing between Flora and David. It would be something to see.

Ted walked up and claimed his five pokeballs with Snips still atop his head. He walked out with the others to watch the battle take place. This would not be his first time watching a battle, he would watch his older brother battle all the time and each time it would give him a rush of adrenalin that would flow through his body at a fast pace.

The Totodile and Piplup battled fiercely, but the Totodile won. Ted did a fist pump in the air and a short cheer. 

"That was awesome! Great job guys." 

Ted was ready to have a battle himself after that action.
