Let's Dub: Pokémon Scarlet (VA Casting!)
Jaxon for Grusha
Grusha is one of the Gym Leaders of Paldea, specializing in Ice-types. He lives on Glaseado Mountain and runs its Gym. Grusha used to be a professional snowboarder, until he was severely injured, and could no longer compete in the sport. Now, he's frantic that one day, he'll lose Pokémon battling as well, so puts up a cold, tough front. His aloof, chilly nature makes him a perfect candidate for running an Ice-type Gym.

Your interpretation can vary, though, and does not need to match perfectly! We are not looking for an impression, but we wish to give a reference as part of the audition material.

“…I take it you’re a challenger? My name’s Grusha. I’m a snowboarder. Used to be a 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 battling, really…”
“Today’s not a great day to face me. You’re better off giving up. Sure you want to battle me?”
