She didn’t bother summoning a mount. She walked towards the fountain for the next two hours. She spent the time pumping herself up for what she believed to be the most important fight of her life.

As she approached the fountain, he saw him standing there, just waiting for her, staring at her. She wasn’t surprised that he saw her coming; she made no attempt to hide her presence after all.
She stopped when she reached within ten feet of the creature. She got into a fighting pose. He did likewise. Each one stood there. Waiting for the other to make the first move.
Then abruptly, Gengar charged. It was on.
