Communal Experience

Dad and Pete went over to the Cheltenham Pokemon gym and quickly defeated it on behalf of Team Valor (red). Pete placed a Charmander in the gym, and Dad a Cubone. Then an Asian lady and her daughter leveled up the gym prestige and put a few more Pokemon in there. Then another couple came and leveled it up further. It was an interesting communal experience. (However, the gym was defeated anyhow later in the day.)
