alfred and chris as characters

chris was once the only psychic gym leader here but one day he came down with a terrible sickness, the sickness was so severe that the only way his body could fight it is if he was always asleep, and so he fell into a permanent slumber, his parents had no way to communicate with him, however his ralts (it was a ralts at the time) could, chris and his ralts were able to communicate tlepathically, the parents tried to understand but unfortunately ralts could not convey what he was saying, ralts took on the role as his caretaker, taking this role as she evolved into kirlia and gardevoir, other psychic pokemon were brought in to help in his care, most of them being rather feminine due to their naturally caring nature, the only male pokemon he has is his hypno, they learned that if chris had a bad enough nightmare it could render his body unable to fight his disease, and so the hypno was brought in to constantly read his dreams and eat any nightmares that rear their ugly heads, meanwhile to replace the seemingly out of commision chris, alfred was brought in as the stand in psychic trainer, however gardevoir was told that chris did not want to give up his title as gym leader, gardevoir would stay in the gym leader room and tell the other pokemon what to do in battle using chris's orders, alfred trained with them and allowed them to grow stronger, eventually they learned to fight side by side in the doubles format, and thus they were assgined as the 5th gym leaders in the vincent mansion challenge

after beating them, you unlock the first rest area, the rest area is a place where you can buy more items, heal your pokemon, change your team if you wish,and fight higher level pokemon in the grinding area. defeating alfred and chris is the end of the first part of the game part 1 of 4
