Without much thought, Chili decides to sprint forward. This was not a good move, as these wonderful turrets lurked just around the corner. Their sweeping red sensor alerts the gym leader just in time for him to keep out of their way, fortunately, and he plasters himself to the white panels of the wall to keep out of their way. Not without a gasp, of course. H-Hopefully that wouldn't be the end of him...! But he wouldn't tell Cress what he almost encountered just then. He would probably scold him if he'd seen that...

"So, what are you going to do, huuuh?!" he calls, his voice echoing in the empty room. Chili has the mindset that the two of them must be in separated chambers because they are intended to compete... could that be the case? Of course, he has yet to observe the room in detail, but doing that so soon just isn't his style.
