"If you trust in yourself. . .and believe in your dreams. . .and follow your star. . . you'll still get beaten by people who spent their time working hard and learning things and weren't so lazy."

"FLAMETHROWER!" The order echoed off of the cave walls as Atlas charged forward, claws scraping against the dirt and stone as he dodged out of the way of the incoming Thunderbolt and let loose a powerful surge of flame at the enemy Dedenne. The orange mouse rocketed backwards, struggling to remain standing, but the burn across its body was too much for it to take. The mouse fainted. The young trainer withdrew their pokemon, sighing deeply at the rough defeat. It only took one of Mya's team to defeat his. Knowing this, Atlas let loose another flame towards the air, claiming the battlefield as his own.
"Chin up, kid," Mya said as she walked across the battlefield, putting her hands on her hips and watching the fellow pack his things. he was drenched with sweat from the heat of the cavern. It was hot, but nothing Mya wasn't used to. There was hardly a break of sweat on her brow despite her heavy jacket draped over her shoulders. "Come back any time. But maybe get a water-type, hm? Three electrics won't get you shit here." She walked the young man out and ensured he got to the new Pokemon Center set up in the main chamber of the old cave. It was hard to believe that over 80 years ago, this place was Famine's most popular mall. It wasn't anything for a while, but at least it was getting set back up with a healthier respect for the mountain's movements.
Mya sat down on one of the lounge benches and leaned back, staring up at the ceiling, filled with various raw metal and gem deposits. It wouldn't be mined out, given the danger it would pose to the structural integrity of the chambers, but they didn't need it. The gym was bringing in more than Mya had hoped. After years of nothing but shit, Famine was finally getting some much needed traffic and tourism.
Atlas sat down next to her, letting out a sigh of his own. He had grown pretty big over the past several months, even to the point of evolution. Incredible, really. Mya hadn't expected it, but she didn't mind Atlas being a bit bigger and stronger. Thankfully, he seemed to be proving the pokedex wrong except in battle. He was still a sweet thing that was more gentle and polite than she could have imagined for a Charmeleon. It made her wonder about his final evolution...
She closed her eyes and breathed in a deep breath. The steam fro the indoor hot springs kept the air warm and moist. Not great, but they'd work on it eventually... figure out some better ventilation, but for now? It was what it was. The town came first. The gym second.

Our kind of people had a bed for the night, and it was okay
