"Eiscue marches to the beat of its own drum, and it doesn’t sweat the small stuff. It’s often seen floating aimlessly in the sea with only its ice-covered head peeking out of the water, and it’s not unusual to find it washed up on distant shores."
"Centiskorch creates flammable gases by fermenting its food within its body. Gases are then burned in the heat-generating organs along its belly. ... This Pokémon is so belligerent by nature that it will indiscriminately attack anything that gets close to it."
Art of Piers:
"Piers...was once said to have been among the greats. He may be a bit wild, but he is a Trainer who truly cares for his hometown and his friends. He loves his Gym, with its close ties to the town it’s based in, and he has been trying desperately to support it."
"Melony is an Ice-type Pokémon user and the only Gym Leader able to boast that she’s never once lost to Raihan, who is generally regarded as the strongest Gym Leader in the current Galar Pokémon League."
Circhester Gym is "up-and-coming," and "the momentum of its rise to the majors has garnered it a lot of attention as a real dark horse. Gordie, ever a hard worker, was given the best education possible by his mother Melony."
"Opal is the oldest Gym Leader...she has held on to her position for 70 years. She’s sometimes called “the wizard” because of the way that she moves through battles almost as if she can foresee what her opponents will do next."
