The Gym Leaders Video
The camera was positioned perfectly, framing Harry in front of the map of the Bewitched Region. Behind him, the sketches of the Gym Leaders were carefully arranged in a neat row, each one paired with a Pokémon team summary. Luna adjusted the lighting, ensuring it highlighted the artwork without creating glare, while Neville double-checked the script.
Harry took a deep breath and nodded. "All right, let's do this."
With a click, the camera began recording.
"Welcome back to Bewitched Creations," Harry said, smiling at the lens. "In today's video, we're introducing the Gym Leaders of the Bewitched Region. Each of them represents a unique type, a challenging puzzle, and a meaningful part of the Trainer's journey. But they're more than just opponents—they're characters with stories tied to the magic and history of the region."
Harry gestured to the first sketch on the wall.
Syrus – The Psychic Gym Leader
"Our first Gym Leader is Syrus, who specializes in Psychic-type Pokémon." Harry pointed to the detailed sketch of a tall man with flowing black hair streaked with silver.
"Syrus is enigmatic and confident, with a sense of humor that masks his deep wisdom. He's fiercely loyal to his Pokémon and his friends. His Gym is located in Starspire Village, a place known for its grand observatory that seems to touch the stars."

"Next is Primrose, our Fairy-type Gym Leader." Harry gestured to the sketch of a woman with wavy, auburn-tinged hair and a floral dress.

Harry leaned back in his chair, smiling at the camera. "Each of these Gym Leaders represents a unique part of the Bewitched Region and the lessons I've learned from the people who shaped my life. Thank you for watching and let me know in the comments which Gym Leader you're most excited to face."
With that, he clicked off the camera.
