The air inside the Blackthorn Gym is thick and suffocating, shimmering with the heat of bubbling magma. Atop the arena, Clair stands like a queen, her maroon cape snapping in the artificial breeze. She reaches up to touch one of her dragon-tooth earrings, her eyes narrowing as she surveys you with a look of cold appraisal. "I am Clair, the master of the most powerful type in existence," she declares, her voice dripping with pride. "You come seeking the Rising Badge? Then prove you aren't just another amateur. Venture into the Dragon's Den, retrieve the Dragon Fang, and return to me. Only then will I acknowledge your existence as a trainer. Until then, do not expect mercy, and certainly do not expect victory."
