Gecko's friend (Hey geck, can I call you dylan? it sounds cooler and is ur name) hasn't gotten on yet, and geck knows that if he doesn't get on often, then he won't be on for a while.
Anyways, since I'm the gym leader for fire, I'll just list my team and specifications-
It's located in Unique Town (The small town near the desert town)
It's that big giant red fortress that you can't miss.
You need to show me your Earth Badge.
Zis is my team-
A ninetales about level 35,
A camerupt about level 38,
And a Rapidash, about level 44.
I might also get a growlithe/arcanine.
So yes, bring water.
You get a badge for beating me, as well as a TM that you will see me use a lot in battle.
