[ lance technically arrives outside of viridian city -- mostly because showing up on a dragonite without any real warning tends to cause something of a stir, and lance isn't really in the mood to talk to sixteen different people before he meets blue.
that being said, he allows dragonite to follow along outside of his pokeball, making his way to the gym quickly enough. and when he ducks inside to see the exercises, he's immediately interested.
for one, it's good to see blue, you know, does take some part of his job seriously. and for another, it's always nice to see viridian gym operating as it should. even though it has been three years since giovanni was removed from his position, the presence of viridian gym operating as it should be has brought a lot of life and vigor to the town. despite the resident leader's obstinate and general bad attitude.
as lance makes his way toward blue to offer a wave, he opens his mouth to respond to the comment -- but dragonite beats him to it. the massive dragon is surprisingly fast as it moves toward the bench, and (perhaps sparing blue his dignity in resisting the urge to give him a bone crushing hug in front of his students) grumbles a hello before gently patting him on the shoulder in greeting.
once that is done, lance turns his attention to the trainers. ]
I have full faith you will last at least a week.
[ mildly, as lance crosses his arms, watching the battle ebb and flow, making mental note of decisions made. and after watching for a few minutes, lance shifts his attention back to blue, with a warm smile. ]
This place is full. [ with a tone of approval. ] I see you haven't had any issues in recruitment.
