...I take it you’re a challenger? My name's Grusha. I'm a snowboarder. Used to be pro, actually. Now I'm a Gym Leader. I saw you on the slopes. Your skills... Yeah, they were pretty cool." But don't let that go to your head. Winter mountains are dangerous. They can throw your life right off course, easy as that. Same thing with Pokémon battles, really... It's always the most dangerous when you're just starting to get the hang of things.
