Re: OOC: USE ROCK SMASH! :)
If was situations like this that made it very clear Garth was out of his depth with this job and he started to fidget uncomfortably, tugging at the sleeeve of his sweater as his mind raced to come up with ways to protect his gym - the region's starter pokemon especially - that would require minimal battling.
"Anthony is correct. Taking shifts is a little extreme but it would be prudent to at least ensure we can contact each other at any time and to inform each other if any of the gyms will be unsuprvised for more than a few days at a time for whatever reason. We should avoid allowing this to affect the Shiko League, at least. It could cause a panic."
