## In The Game

Raymond is the Ceolis League's Rock-type Gym Leader, and the sixth leader that the player battles.

The player first meets Raymond in the courthouse in Olidroll City's Services District. Seeing the player's badges and inferring that they intend to challenge his gym, Raymond asks for the player's assistance with an investigation. Rumors have been spreading that there are vitamins being sold for half of their Department Store price. Raymond acknowledges that it isn't illegal to sell products outside of stores, but is concerned that this could impact the Department Store's sales, as it's the only place in the region that sells vitamins aside from the Battle Frontier. Raymond mentions that he probably wouldn't think it's worth investigating if it was happening anywhere aside from Olidroll, but finds the fact that it's being treated as a secret suspicious. Raymond promises to accept the player's challenge after some light is shed on the issue, and suggests the Recreation District as a starting point.

When the player reports to Raymond after being receiving information about the vitamin black market from Crolea, Raymond is shocked when told that Dylan is leading the operation. He urges the player to continue investigating now that they have a name and a place, while also advising that if there really is a base in an underground passage, it's likely not open to everyone and the player will need to look around the Twilight Tavern for the entrance.

When the player goes to the court house after the events at the Vitamin Factory, Dylan and Tomas give the player the thumbs-up before leaving. Raymond apologizes to the player for making them investigate for him, and confirms that Dylan and Tomas walk away free. He says that hearing their side of the story changed his mind, and comments on how he was surprised that even some of the Department Store cashiers had been buying the vitamins. With the case closed, Raymond accepts the player's challenge.

After the gym battle, Raymond gives the player the Gavel Badge and the Smack Down TM. He says that he won't put the player through any more investigations, and encourages them to fight for their own sense of justice.

At Crolea's birthday party, Raymond says that no matter who you are or what you do, everyone should take a break and relax sometimes. He says that it's been a while since he's done that, so he's going to make the most of the party.

## Quotes

 "*I apologize for making you do all that work for me. It was just eating away at me. That's all behind us now, though, and Dylan and Tomas walk free. Hearing some of what they say made me change my mind. What surprised me the most is that some of the Department Store cashiers themselves were buying these vitamins! But that's enough talk of business and law. Now we battle!*"

 "*And this too. Smack Down smacks down Flying-types, leaving them vulnerable to Ground-type moves. Now that you've defeated me, you should show your skill to Dylan. I'm sure he's waiting for you in the Twilight Tavern. Also, the Department Store's renovations are done, so it's open again. You'll find that vitamins cost half as much as they used to. I'm relieved things turned out the way they did. I didn't want to have to punish a fellow Gym Leader. I won't be having you do any more investigations for me. All I ask of you from now on is to fight for your own sense of justice! Oh, also, there was something I was curious about. Not long ago, another trainer came here to challenge me, who had five badges at the time like yourself. I may be overanalyzing, but would there happen to be a connection between you two? ...Ah, so she's your sister? I did also consider asking her to investigate, but decided against it.In any case, I wish both of you luck with your league challenges. I think you two have bright futures ahead of yourselves!*"
