Before leaving for the grounds, Atlas stopped by a Pokemon Center and removed a few Pokemon. As she walked towards the volcano, she noticed that there were only fire-type Pokemon there so she decided to send out an old friend she caught while in Johto, Rapidash.
As Rapidash walked around, she noticed Atlas was still there.
"Rapidash, enjoy yourself for the time being. I have to head towards class sometime and I feel like you need to be outside your pokeball because I'll use you for today's lesson.
