Virbank City

After several days at sea, Bai Shi finally arrived in Virbank City as he had hoped.

Factories stood everywhere in Virbank City, making it a typical industrial city.

Wisps of black smoke often hung over the city.

As a result, its air quality was considerably worse than that of other cities.

For a moment after arriving in Virbank City, Bai Shi felt as though he had returned to the world he had once known.

Even though more than a decade had passed since he had crossed into this world, it took Bai Shi a little time to adjust.

Still, he was not particularly fond of this sort of environment.

Hoping to leave as soon as possible, Bai Shi immediately submitted a challenge request to the Virbank Gym.

Unfortunately, his luck was not very good.

Like the other Gym Leaders in Unova, Roxie had a side job.

Besides being a Gym Leader, she was also a famous rock singer.

When Bai Shi visited the Virbank Gym, she was holding a concert in another city, so she naturally could not have a Gym battle with him.

The only good news was that Roxie would return in a few days.

Having just been left hanging once already, Bai Shi repeatedly confirmed this with the staff before abandoning the idea of returning to Driftveil City.

"Why has my luck been so rotten lately?"

"When I challenged the Driftveil Gym, Clay was busy. Now I've come to the Virbank Gym, and Roxie's off holding a concert."

"Something won't go wrong again when I visit the Mistralton Gym next time, will it?"

Thinking back over his recent experiences gave Bai Shi a headache and left him thoroughly miserable.

He dreaded challenging another Gym only to find its leader absent or unavailable again.

He could accept it
