I'll give you one\" He clutched his fist and closed his eyes, he ran towards gabite who got out the tree and ran towards mark. Mark waited before he lept into the air, something gabite did not expect, and at the Crest of the leap, mark opened his eyes and came down with a powerful punch, like a focus punch from infernape, gabite is sent into the ground, and mark lands before immediately collapsing from exhaustion. He goes o to his knees and hands as he fights for consciousness, that punch took a lot out of him."

All three of Zeph's Pokémon, his Lucario, Gardevoir, and Beheeyem, gathered around him as they watched Mark and Gabite spar. Zephraxe raised an eyebrow as the trainer managed a pretty powerful blow to the Gabite. It was impressive, all things considered. As Mark began to collapse, Zephraxe took a step forward, wary of what Gabite might do next. \n\nThe invisible Latios floated in close to Mark and Gabite to observe them, and if need be, intervene. He only watched for now, though."

The Latios rarely fought in battles for Zephraxe, but was, by far, his strongest Pokémon and most skilled fighter. Latis were generally peaceful and nonviolent, but Kórvem relished the rush of combat. He was confident he could win any battle for Zephraxe, and thus he didn't battle for the sake of Zephraxe's own learning. \n\n\"I have no intention of taking the title myself, even if I feel like I could.\" Zephraxe shrugged nonchalantly. \"She's actually here on the island.

So how about you suggest something, if it's a good suggestion then we can gladly do it, otherwise perhaps we should rather leave each other alone.\"\n\nSimply shrugging, Aaron had to admit this was a little mean, but well, he wasn't the type to just get blatantly insulted and let it go afterwards so quickly."

More specifically, he reminded him of his friend Lana that was always so shy and always spoke so softly. It was funny how she always reacted to things, she was such an energetic girl although she was as shy as a turtle that'd hide into its shell out of nervousness. She was a fun person to be around, he remembered the day they all decided to have a ride on Lapras' back, such great memories he wouldn't forget for anything in the world.\n\nThe little pokemon that made its way over him seemed very confident about what its trainer was about to do, and before Ilima had the time to say something, the other was already high up in that tree, which made him gasp out of surprise and awe, how could one climb a tree so easily and swiftly? \n\"Deary me, Calem! You're quite a good tree climber.\" He pointed out as he laughed a little. \n\"Ah, how silly of me! I'm afraid I didn't take one.\" \nAs he said that, he was struck with a wonderful idea, which made him jolt up as he grabbed one of his Pokeball from his belt, letting out his Kangaskhan. \n\n\"There, Kangaskhan, Smeargle, would you like to lend us your help?\" \nAsked the two, that responded with a nod of their heads.\n\n\"Wonderful! I'll be there too, so you can throw the berries in my arms as well!\" \nHe told the young trainer, waving a little at him as he was perched in that tree."

He always flew out on his Charizard when it wanted to, going as high as the dragon-like creature wanted. Sure he liked training with his Pokémon too, but he wasn't completely set on battling like other people were, he honestly just liked to make his Pokémon happy, that made him happy.\n\nLooking down at the normal type trial captain, Calem gave a little wave to the Pokémon down there. He thought about getting one of his Pokémon out but he worried if they were too tired or Ilima wouldn't like them. Shaking his head a little, he bit down on the brim of his red cap and used his now two free arms to collects some berries and put them into his cap, gently dropping at least half of them down for the Pokémon or Ilima to catch as he didn't want to feel like he wasn't letting them do anything."

It wasn't a bad things at all, and it was rather fun to run after the berries that Calem dropped down to them.\n\n\"Heh, I think we've got more than enough for everyone now, Calem!

What was odd is that Gillade never yells, raises his voice, but often spoke at either a soft room volume or even just barely audible hushed whispers. \n\n\"Please don't be sorry it was my mistake anyways, I shouldn't be so high strung.\"\n\n\"Well, there's no need to accompany be no, but if you like I'm currently trying to find a high level swadloon...

His Meganium rested his head on his lap once more. Sunny laughed a bit at the affection as he picked up his Violin once more."

He scratched at his cheek as he let them-self get comfortable on the picnic blanket. Unzipping his bag a little as they pulled out two other pokeballs and released out a venusaur and Clefable who made happy noises.\n\n\"..Meet uhhh Pony.. And Knuckles..\" Bailey motioned to his Venusaur as pony then to his Clefable who jumped and hugged his arm, let out happy cheers. Pony couldn't fit on the entire blanket so he just suited to having his head on Bailey's lap and call it a day. They both seemed rather happy as Knuckles made her way to go get familiar with everyone else. Richard peered at everyone and looked away, comfortable hiding behind Bailey's back since everyone else seemed comfortable she could try but it wouldn't be that easy. He looked back at Sunny as they noticed his violin, \"Oh, do you erm uh play?? I think I've seen one person play it before, maybe uhhh..\" Bailey had fidgeted with the little arms of their hat, patting Pony's head a bit."

It gave them a rather bittersweet nostalgic feel, as much as he hated his family and even a few of their siblings, they couldn't bring them-self to hate this song.

Bailey bit his lip gently as they tried to figure something out. \n\nWhen he did think if what to say he was interrupted by the weather. Looking over to Sunny as they didn't expect him to just grab their hand like that, nearly tripping on the way. Adjusting rather easily as Richard followed behind, his heartbeat had started to quicken watching the mansion get bigger and bigger to his eyes. Swallowing some salvia nervously, he held Sunny's hand back and gave it a small squeeze. Looking down to avoid making his own anxiety worse, breathing was a little difficult but he could excuse it from the sudden jogging."

Why did her brother have to be here? That just adds one more person on this island that she much rather avoid.\n... \n\"So... Heard from Allison since you left?\" She eventually asked, after a long, and really awkward silence. Of course, her sister died six years ago, but Raven hadn't exactly gathered with the rest of the family to mourn her. She found much more effective ways of dealing with sadness. Mainly, destroying anyone who stood in her way."

It wasn't that the place didn't seem unwelcoming, it was clear that it was in high maintenance but the thought of their being dead corpses beneath his feet was a tad bit unsettling, *Even if that wasn't exactly how graveyards worked.* It made him wonder more and more about the island, how long it had been around for, pokemon native to it and other trivial things as that. \n\nHe looked off to the various lavender bushes that lined the outside of the gates, though he did feel quite unsettled in this environment the scent of lavender did manage to set himself to ease at some extent.

He was indeed one of these kids that loved to wander around graveyards since the day he's been allowed to. He remembered the first day he'd go to his the little graveyards next to the godly shrine of his town. *Perhaps was the cemetery placed here as a prayer for the legendary rainbow-like bird to bless and protect them?* \nRed spider lilies surrounding the cemetery, their meanings was just too beautiful for Morty to not know what they were supposed to depict. They were associated why final goodbye's, and are said to guide the dead through *Samsara*, or more commonly named \"The Circle of Rebirth\".\nHe was surprised there were none of them here but he supposed they were only growing in exotic environment, back in his original region and such.\n\nBefore he decided to step out of the shadows, he has decided to take a glimpse at his phone, *Actually he wasn't expecting to see someone online but, oh well.*\nWill'o'wisps were gently and happily dancing around his thin silhouette, it was little things that he loved to be surrounded by. Perhaps they were always near him because not a lot of people had the capacity to communicate with them poor things, which he didn't mind. For some reasons he appreciated talking with the poor lost souls that gave their life away instead of communicating with actual living beings but that was because he was curious about the past and always found questions to ask them. There was nothing more interesting than talking with people's that have seen things that you'd never witness.\nThese little blue ghastly flames were just as friendly as they seemed, *Though they were said to lead people to their lose for some reasons, but Morty refused to see them as evil creature.* Maybe you could hear little giggles emerging from them, making the ghost-type gym leader smile at himself at such happy sounding laughs, they were like lost, yet happy little kids.\n\nAlthough as he started to type, having his fingers tap his screen with silence, he got stopped in his actions by a little Yamper, that tackled him to the ground with ease. *Morty indeed wasn't that heavy.* He had his scarf hiding the bottom of his face with his bandana covering one of his eyes, but he most certainly had the most confused facial expression on at the moment. Where did that came from all of a sudden, was it this woman's Pokemon that tried to protect its trainer? It most likely was. Once he collected his thought, he couldn't help but to chuckle a little and softly pet the Yamper, having no intention of hurting anyone of course. He was just wandering in a quiet place, like a *Ghost.* \n\nSoon enough, he sat up as he still had his phone firmly held in his other hand, rearranging his scarf and taking off his bandane for a little while as he let out a sigh, such events he wasn't ready for. He tried to look around for the woman, but instead his gaze stopped on the deep blue haired man's silhouette. *He oddly looked like the man that he was texting some minutes before*. \n\"...Ah, I didn't notice you sooner.\" He spoke as he looked back around him, oh there she was. He finally found the trainer that sent her Yamper to tackle him down, or perhaps the dog-like pokemon acted on its own but he had no clue about that.\nHe cleared his throat, noticing that the little blue fire like phantoms obviously ran away, letting him sigh a bit more out of annoyance.\n\n\"Uhm, I swear I mean no harm.\" He added as he pet the Yamper softly, having his bandana down on his lap for now."

After being dragged on this Vacation by Bea, Allister was missing his ghostly friends back in Galar but after catching word of a Graveyard he waited till later on in the evening to sneak away from the group and head to the location. After arriving he let Gengar out of it's pokeball to let it explore the area, obviously he stayed close in case the Ghosts didn't appreciate Allister disturbing them but after searching for a few minutes, neither him nor Gengar saw any even at this time at night.\n\nA little saddened that the Ghosts weren't coming out, Allister sat against the wall behind a gravestone while the moonlight glistened a little off his mask. The light breeze which swayed the grass and the almost dead silence would normally frighten most people but for Allister it was his way to have some peace and quiet while getting closer to the spirits. A cold chill then blew over the whole area and it made the young gym leader shoot up to his feet, maybe the spirits were finally coming out?\n\nGengar was just sat beside him this entire time, looking at the ground and waiting for something to happen and as if the area had just lit up, the gust of wind happened and a bunch of Gastly and Misdreavus had started filling the area which made Allister's face light up and his eyes glisten in the moonlight under his mask. He was a bit more timid with these ghosts but after a little bit he got to understand they weren't so different from the ones he knew back in Galar.\n\nSo now they were talking and Allister got completely lost in conversation as he didn't expect anyone else to really show up, he didn't want Bea to be worried or anything as she was super overprotective of him but everyone else would most likely be too busy to think about him so he was quite satisfied with being out here and experiencing this new environment that was laid out before him. Now he pushed himself up and onto a little rock to get more comfortable and even a trevenant had come up to him and Allister was now surrounded by friendly, talkative Ghost type pokemon! Which made him happy."

"message": "It was already dark, which was a disaster. Leon knew he should be in the comforts of his own room by now but just like how the rumors said it, he got lost. After going on a hike with his Pokémon, they had a little game at the top of the mountain. While growing adaption to higher ground would be a good thing, it made the lot of them lightheaded and exhausted extremely quickly. At first it was going to be a picnic—and just like a mother holding onto the hand of their child—John lead the champ up... But couldn't lead him down. The Charizard was worn out. Maybe the team should've held back on playing soccer *At the top of a mountain*. \n\nPromising his Pokémon that Leon doesn't intend on going past his bedtime, they all returned to their Pokéballs for an early rest. Leon *Was* Determined to get down safely, but what's a hike without some sightseeing? He wasn't supposed to stray from the path. There were the occasional bird Pokémon such as Spearow and Pikipek that caught his interest, but he stood his ground! He wasn't going to worry his Pokémon! The wildlife is an interesting place, though. Leon spotted Oran berries to pick, and more Pokémon to observe. It eventually got him to seeing a... A Pikachu? The shape of it looked like a Pikachu but the Galarian needed to see it more up close. He walked off trail.\n\nNot being so sneaky, the Pikachu(?) kept creeping away, and Leon kept following. Why is he so interested in a Pikachu you might ask? The Pokémon is always a treasure to find! Plus, these Oran berries weren't going to eat themselves. Eventually, the day grew into dusk. The Pikachu(?) was long gone and Leon fumbled around, scolding himself for getting distracted for the umpteenth time. He'd asked for directions from his Rotomphone but he left it back at his room *Like always*! Popping out of a bush, he grunts and rolls out on his back. It's way past his bedtime now, so the champ is sort of stressed."

"message": "Hanging out with this islands Ghost types made Allister much more relaxed than when he came here. In all honesty he was quite nervous about coming as he would have to spend more time with his fellow gym leaders and others he'd never met before even if he's the most comfortable hanging around with other ghost types.\n\nHis outfit and mask represent this well as he tries his best to fit in with them but he is still a kid at heart and likes his usual scaring people (especially the other gym leaders when they all get together :3). This was when he heard some rustling but due to the wind picking up he thought it was just that. However when he heard a quiet human voice he quickly shot up and turned to see his Idol and champion of his region. \"L-leon?!\" He exclaimed but still stood in a nervous and shy posture. Then he called out. \"N-no!..He's okay.\" As the ghost types suddenly stood I front of Allister as if to protect him but backed away as he said it was okay.\n\nHe turned to speak to the Ghosts for a quick second and they giggled and Allister looked back at Leon, his hair blowing around in the small gust but he still nervously shifted his feet. \"W-what brings you out here Leon? I thought... You would've been asleep by now. I guess the Champion is never done training..\" Of course he didn't know the actual reason but he knew his strong Leon was and in his eyes he was someone who was always getting stronger and assumed (like the innocent bean he is) that Leon came all the way out here for some training and just happened to stumble across the little Ghost type gym leader."

"message": "Allister's sudden stir made Leon realized that no matter how gentle he brought up his words, he was going to surprise the kid—even if he enjoyed being in ~~creepy~~ places like this. He manages a smile and take a step toward the boy before feeling the strands of his hair raise more from the ghost-type Pokémon scurrying around and shielding the small boy in front of him. Okay, the champ admits he looks a bit rough since getting his clothes snagged by the brushes, but he's still the charismatic guy everyone knows back at Galar! True, they're *Not* In Galar, but seeing their determination to protect got Leon sweating even in the chilled air. \n\nAs expected, Allister was able to calm them down just by simply talking to them, and the champ still wonders how he has such an ability at a young age. Leon bows his head to them out of politeness as he took another step to Allister. A smile is so common on his face that it might as well be his resting face, but there's a hint of tiredness from it. \"Good question,\" He replied before raising an arm to scratch the back of his head. \"You're not entirely wrong. I was out on a hike with the team when we overexerted ourselves. I wanted them to rest, but then I...\" He trails off, his grin now turned sheepish. \"I kind of got distracted, you can say.\" He already knows that almost everyone in Galar giggled behind his back for getting lost too often and having to rely on his partner too many times.\n\nHe pulls out a stopwatch from his pocket and changed its mode to a clock. Yep, it was past his bedtime. Leon usually liked to sleep early and then wake up early. As much as an airhead he seems, he likes to at least have a consistent sleep schedule. It would seem too much to ask Allister to lead him back to the mansion. Especially if he had something else planned tonight. Speaking of which— \"What are you doing all the way out here?\"\n\nHe leans down close to Allister so that he didn't have to talk loud and wake the other spirits. Common courtesy, after all. \"You don't have a bedtime?\" There's a small chuckle at the end of his sentence, indicating he wasn't really serious, but curious why a kid his age is still up at this hour."

"message": "Seeing Leon approach after the Ghosts were cleared he looked to the Champions face and even when he was called weird by other kids his age for hanging out with Ghosts, Leon still treated him with respect and his smile seemed to shine through the darkness of the night and brighten up the mood in the area. The Ghosts had now began to calm down and stay at a slight distance as they watched the two humans speak with eachother.\n\n\"A h-hike... Heh.\" The young kid couldn't help but let out a small and almost silent laugh as even he understood what Leon meant by \"Distracted\". He hadn't really spoken much with any of the other Galar members apart from offical business and even with Bea he tends to keep to himself while she's getting autographs and going out to train. Then as Leon looked at his watch he tried standing on his toes to get a little glimpse of the time and it would be quite late for most people.\n\nAt the question of why he was out here at the moment he wondered if Leon was angry at all that he strayed away from the group without telling anyone as they were all here on a \"Vacation\" Of sorts and it wasn't Galar where he knew where to go. \"I-I... Sorry... I overheard some trainers talking about an old graveyard in the forest... So I needed to go and have a look at the Ghosts here..'m.\" Then as Leon leaned down he almost jumped back but quickly fixed his position so he stood normally in front of the tall man in front of him.\" B-bedtime? Oh... I normally only sleep early before a gym challenge or a battle..\"\n\nThat's when his feet shifted again as he remembered something that was said before he came here. \"I don't think I'll... Get any battles though... It's all very strong trainers like you and I heard people question why I was here... So I wanted to get away a-and the graveyard was the best place..\" Honestly he wasn't surprised people were questioning why someone so young was at an island for Elite trainers only and in all honesty he did feel a little out of place but he knew that at the graveyard the Ghosts wouldn't judge him so he made the treck from Mansion, to the forest and eventually using his little legs, made it to a place he felt safe at. Plus he didn't want to involve any of the other leaders as they seemed very busy getting challenges and speaking with other strong trainers."

"message": "To be honest, in that moment Leon didn't wonder why Allister wandered from the group. His priorities seem to be over the place—worrying about the kid's *Bedtime* Than his whereabouts. It's simply because it wasn't in his mind! \"Aheh, haha!\" He slowly bursts out laughing after Allister's first reply. He found it silly, not in a bad way, that Allister was interested in a graveyard just from the mention it. It reminded him of anyone who'd be fast to follow their curiosity when it came to more \"Normal\" Activities. Seems like the boy wasn't that much different from the rest of them. \n\n\"You sleep early before your matches?!\" He sounded flabbergasted, his eyes quirked up in an unbelieved way. Being alone earlier has made him tired but now that he's conversing with someone, he's become back to being lively! Especially at the mention of battles. \"I can't barely sleep *At all* When it comes to the night before a big battle. Nerves, excitement—it's everything about it that keeps me up! So, if you ever noticed me disappearing quickly after a match, it's because I need to catch up on my sleep.\" Folding his arms, he winks, before a shushing could be heard from his right. Probably from a ghost-type Pokémon. Leon got too excited there!\n\nA little bit of silence befall between them, and without seeing Allister's mouth, he didn't know he was speaking! The kid really is quiet but Leon was able to understand. \"Your go-to place, huh?\" He questioned. \"I can see why. Graveyards are peaceful.\" As he said that a Haunter and Shuppet are chasing each other in a game of Tag, and a teasing Polteageist was about to pour itself on a dozing Litwik's flame. \"I can confirm that there are a lot of strong trainers out here!\" Leon puffs his chest up arrogantly. \"I've been challenged by some of them myself, and the rush is fantastic! But I'd like to ask you a question—do you *Want* To battle?\" His change in tone was such a transition.\n\nHe's always speaking about battles like they're a life source but even then, he knows it isn't the same for everyone. \n\nThey're in the league, sure, but anyone sane wouldn't mind a vacation at all. \"I'm saying you're in no obligation to battle. If no one wants to, or you don't want, then it's a good time to enjoy your vacation! Meet new people, learn a new hobby, or discover the best dessert.\" He points at Allister—not accusingly, but to get his attention. \"What are your *Plans*?\" The champ would've mention that he knows this place like the back of his hand, but considering he got *Lost*, it wouldn't be right to proclaim."

"message": "With Leon's very... Unique personality it was unusual for him to be around such energy but with Leon, his idol, it felt nice and almost refreshing to go from a slow and quiet pace to having Leon with him talking about the excitement and adrenaline of intense Pokemon battles. It seemed though to Leon he done the complete opposite to what Allister tends to do so Allister wondered if he should try and stay up, thinking about the battle. Of course not realising what Leon was actually meaning by that.\n\nThen Leon revealed a little secret which made Allister put his small hands to the bottom of his mask and the mask made it seem like he had a surprised look on his face. \"T-thats what you do Leon? Wow..\" He really didn't expect a World-Class trainer like Leon to catch up on sleep just before a big battle but that definitely was interesting and lifted the little ghost child's expressions up. The Haunter and Gastly behind him seemed to chuckle a little as they saw their new, little friend acting this way.\n\nThen adjusting the mask on his face so it was more comfortable, he listened as Leon proudly puffed his chest out at the mention of trainers that even the great Leon could call tough! But then with the sudden tone transition he almost froze for a second until Leon had finished and he looked at the floor. It was tricky... Did he want to battle? Yes and no. He wanted to battle to become as strong as Leon! But he also didn't want to as he didn't think he was strong enough yet and didn't want to drag the name of the Galar Gym Leaders down if he lost. He was just assuming as he was a naive kid that everyone on the island would be like those two people who belittled his abilities earlier that morning.\n\n\"I-I um... I want to get as strong as you Leon!\" He said while looking up from the floor and using the determination he had built up and made it known that's what he wanted. \"I-if battling will make me as strong as you and the other gym leaders... I'm willing to give it my all..\" He really didn't want to get in the way still of the other gym leaders and coming to the Graveyard didn't seem like a bad way to spend time but being so young he really didn't know what else to do, he'd never DONE anything else like this before.\"I don't know what else to do apart from that, are y-you doing anything else apart from battling?\""

"message": "Leon thought Allister was disappointed rather than awed by him falling asleep afterwards. It's like when adrenaline dies down. Worse is when he usually can't rest because of interviews and other things on his schedule. Not that he *Dislikes* It. He just tends to sleep really early that day then. \"Ah, I don't pass out all the time after an important match! Sometimes I like to celebrate—get some food in for the team!\" While distracted in himself, wondering if Allister thought he was lazy, it was only halfway through Allister's proclamation that Leon heard him. \"I get that a lot,\" He admits. \"Everyone wants to become stronger! That's why, you have to train yourself as much as you can! Every day, do something productive.\" Once again, Leon's voice was getting loud, and some of the sleepy ghost-types float circles around him. \n\n\"You also need the spirit-\" And a Haunter yanked at his hair. \"-not that kind!\" Recollecting himself, he clear his throat to lower his volume. Wasn't this for the third time? He nods ecstatically from Allister's determination. \"I would battle every day if I could! Sounds like a dream.\" He was almost off rambling again if it weren't for the boy asking for his other recreational activities. \"Let's see, I usually like to play games with John and the rest, yeah!\" He names off a few such as soccer, volleyball, even wrestling. \"Taking the time to eat food. I usually eat peanut-sized meals in intervals when it comes to training days. And ah, hanging out with family and friends! Don't you have any, Allister?\" He's sure the kid would have the gym leaders to go along with, or even Bea, since the two seem so close. \n\nWhen Leon thought about it, he barely saw Allister enough anyway, since it's the gym leaders that are usually in a group and he's kept wandering to himself. It was sort of lonely, but at least he believed the ghost-type gym leader has bonds other than just his Pokémon. And—just plain *Ghosts.*"

"message": "Rather than being disappointed, Allister was rather intrigued and surprised that the strongest trainer in his region had such an... Unorthodox schedule, at least compared to the little ghost child. But he celebrated..? Now that Allister thought about it, after a tough match that he wins, he never really celebrates. He just goes to his quiet locker room and sit there for a little rest, then goes to communicate with his Ghost types. In all honesty he wasn't sure how to celebrate but if Leon does it, maybe he can to?\n\nListening to the Champion speak was almost like a dream at some points as from going to sitting alone in a Graveyard surrounded by ghost types, to going to speaking with the Champion of whom he spoke to yes, but maybe not honestly that much overall. But while listening to Leon he started to formulate a kind of plan where he would try and find something new and exciting to do that could help his bond between his Pokemon or improve himself as a person.\n\nThen with Leon getting his hair yanked, Allister let out a small giggle as it was pretty funny to see Leon acting this way. But then he started talking about all the sports he played and frankly, Allister was a little on the *Very* Skinny side of things so he didn't expect himself to be doing that for very long and considering his Pokemon are ghost types, it makes it a little more awkward. But taking mental notes, he got snapped out of his little daydream to being asked about whether he had any friends or family and an awkward silence came over the pair of them, he guessed he did have Bea who was the closest to a friend and the other leaders were more like mentors or seniors to him and Leon was his Idol. But Bea was busy to his knowledge as she was training alongside some fellow fighting gym leaders the last he had heard from her.\n\nThis made Allister shake his head with a small shrug, as he tried once after Bea introduced him to some kids his age but at the end of the day they all left him behind which made him slightly worried and petrified to go with people he didn't know. He just happened to prefer the company of the Ghosts to humans and he didn't really see an issue in that, was it weird to him though? \"S-so um Leon? Are you going to battle again soon? I... M' really want to watch if that's okay with you!\""

"message": "When Allister didn't really answer his question but combat it with another, he wondered if it was a touchy subject. It's a norm in the society for kids his age to, well, hang out with other kids his age. But it's hard for some out there. Aside from being outgoing, there was also the gym leader being involved with the league. He's not having the chance for childhood, and it was more the adults that took admiration in him. Being filled with that responsibility would only make him stray further from fellow kids. It's no wonder he'll be alone, and be with the ghosts that had nothing else to do. In a sense it reminded Leon of himself. Strict schedules once he turned champion at the age of 10 made him unable to make much new friends besides the ones who already have. And even then—he was still busy to even hang out with them.\n\nDare he say, being champion isn't that cracked up to be, but if it raked in a *Champion time!* Then Leon is all for it. Plus, that warmth from getting people to look to him for inspiration is a great treasure from this position as well. If his younger self saw the him now, he wouldn't believe who he is. A more well behaved man, but still a childish person at heart. That's not without saying he gets his moods sometimes and only his close buddies knows how much of a brat he can get—especially when it comes to competition. Anyway, Leon welcomes the topic change. \"I would offer to battle you, but the team needs to rest.\" As he mentioned that, his eyes dropped into sleepy ones. His smile turns small and he averts his eyes. He doesn't like to admit his weaknesses, even if that included him being tired.\n\n.\nIt almost felt strange to know that the gym leaders could look up at him, too, as shown by Allister now. Or maybe, he's the only one that does. The other seem to see him as a charismatic guy, but they don't go sparkly eyed over him. It was as if Leon was talking to a fan, and he realized he almost didn't know what else to say. They're usually not supposed to be casual with a fan anyway. But this is a gym leader from *His region*. He needs to relax, so he proceeds with the battling question. \"Don't *Fret*, though! I'll show you a battle soon!\" He puts a hand to his ear to exaggerate trying to listen closely. \"Or... What's that? In other words, are you challenging me?\" In an Island of strong trainers, it's no surprise they challenge each other on the go. There's no officials around to say the \"Do\" And \"Don'ts\". As long as they don't blow down a building, a battle is fine anywhere on here."

"message": "Indeed it was a touchy subject for the younger male. He sometimes wondered how the other gym leaders thought of themselves to Allister. He never really visited Circhester very often so all the gym leaders around that area he only even saw either on TV or at meetings. Kabu had spoken to him once or twice but his fire burned a little too brightly for the Ghost type Specialist and in all honesty, Leon was right. He'd never experienced what a childhood should be and yet, being surrounded by Adults he was never given the chance to mature or find himself which would negatively affect his growth in the future.\n\nHowever it was just something about Leon that drove Allister to truly enjoy and love being around him. Like with the Ghosts he felt as if he belonged with the spirits which most would find weird but for some reason he felt like Leon wouldn't judge him for the way he behaved and acted. Then at the mention of him battling Leon he understood that Allister had no chance at beating the strongest trainer in the region and with his Pokemon needing a rest it made complete sense anyway. As he looked a little saddened his expression was brightened up by Leon agreeing to let him him watch a battle of his soon enough.\n\n\"I-I um... Maybe soon! I'll challenge you someday later Leon, when I grow stronger on this island, I'll show you t-that I can be strong too!..\" Of course his dream right now would be to beat the unbeatable Leon but he knew that was still a long dream away but he wasn't just about to give up. Leon definitely gave him the motivation he wanted to have, to drive himself to greater heights for himself and the others of his region. Taking a moment to himself, as if he just went into a sudden daze, Allister looked up and pointed behind Leon. \"B-behind you!\" That's when he and a Hunter quickly got prepared and when Leon would turn back to question him in what it was, he had tried sneaking closer to him and leapt up to try and scare Leon. \"B-boo!\""

It wasn't the fact that he's simply \"Brave\" But more that he's able to brush aside anything that could be considered scary. Ghost-types are just Pokémon after all! He couldn't treat them different just because they're a *Little* Creepy. They're Pokémon—basically all the same. A Haunter floats its way next to the champion and he reaches out to rub it. His hand went right through. Withdrawing that hand, he coughs into his fist. \"I can say the same to you, too, Allister. Most kids your age would be afraid of ghosts and ghost-types. To choose mono-types like that, ha! You must have some connection to them that you're able to do that.\" \n\nIt made Leon wonder again what made Allister fond of them, but before he could ask, the boy brought up Raihan and the champ *Had* To comment. Crossing his arms, he lets out an exasperated sigh, his head lowered. \"I haven't seen him much recently, but on the battling aspect, he's still as stubborn as ever. Sometimes I wonder if he'll ever stop.\" He appears a little melancholy before scoffing. \"But so far, he hasn't so I got my faith in him! I really enjoy his company, whenever it seems like others quit, you see.\" That moment of sadness was so quick it was like it never been. His expression flashed back to a grinning one as he faced Allister. \"Go for it! I have to warn you, though, with all the battles I've had with Raihan, he's champion level. If you could beat him, you'll be up to my level.\" It was actually exciting to think of another rival Leon could have. Despite Raihan focusing on one type, he manages to have close battles with him because of *Tactics*. Weaknesses was just a beginner thing. Strategies is where it's at. \n\nLooking up to the moon through the shivering branches of the tree, Leon finally asks, \"You think you can show me back to the mansion?\" There's a bit of embarrassment in his voice.\n\n\"Don't tell anyone, but I think I'm lost.\" He winked at Allister, along with sporting an apologetic look. \"I'm going to teach you something,\" He also added. \"You need sleep if you want to grow big and strong.\" It sounded ridiculous for him to say that, but while Allister may see this as a friend relationship, Leon sees this like... A sibling relationship. It's the age difference. He's so used to motivating kids with this kind of talk. Shifting a little, the Haunter licked Leon's back just to tease him and the champion stood paralyzed from the effect. \"Yeah, it was nice meeting you too, b-buddy...\" And then a few more of the ghost-types laughed around him."

The most comfortable w-with them... Is all and t-they seem to like me too..\"\n\nThen at the mention of the Champions Greatest Rival he knew it would light a spark deep within the man's chest and it sure did but he wasn't as fired up in the beginning but quickly changed into passion and smiles.\" I-I know he's very strong b-but that's why I also have to get as strong as possible..\" He has actually spoken with the man himself about his unique gym style and it was almost the same as speaking to Leon and how he kept planning to beat him and take the Champion title away from his best friend and although it had been a little while since they had faced, Allister did only manage to KO 2 out of the 6 he had brought out. It was almost scary to think that some gym challengers might actually be able to beat Raihan at some point.\n\nThen came the request to escort him back and he whispered quietly with a tiny chuckle. \"I-I knew you were lost from... The beginning Leon, heh.\" But with his being told to sleep to grow big and strong it really made him wonder... He guessed he was right. He was still too young and inexperienced while Leon had the experience of the highest level for many years now. And with Haunter's goodbye lick he assumed it was finally time to go. He took one second to walk away and behind a gravestone with some of the other Ghosts like Gastly, Misdreavus and even a Trevenant to say his goodbyes, promising to visit again soon. With that now finished though he looked back to Leon and nodded, pointing down the long path at the gates to the Graveyard. \"W-we go this way for a little.. T-then take a left and halfway t-through that track, we take a right and we s-should be there..

It shouldn't be embarrassing if he's pants with directions, but who could know their left and right when everything looks the *Same* Around here? It's also dark, and Leon didn't bring a flashlight—he's doing his best here! When Allister started telling the directions, Leon only followed the first half before he just stopped listening at all. Too many directions! \"Let's go!\" He says and clenches the strap of his own backpack he brought along. \"It's better if we get moving.\" Waving to the ghost-types, Leon followed after Allister. Since the graveyard was out of the trees where the moonlight shone brightly, after they enter the path, it only filtered through. Now more aware of his surroundings, Leon remembered something.\n\nFor a small while it was just them walking in silence, only their footsteps heard. It's strange that even though the graveyard was filled with ghost-type Pokémon and possible ghosts, it felt more welcoming there than in *Here*. It's dark, and something seems... Threatening under the surface. Leon broke the silence by speaking in a deep and husky voice. \"I've been in this island long,\" He started. He could only guess the shadowy figure he's following in front of him is Allister, right? It has to, because he saw it was the kid before they entered the path. \"And I heard rumors about this place, or this forest specifically.\" He lets the silence wash over them again for effects. \"The owner lady at the bakery in town mentioned about a family who used to own this island before the Sigford. Why did they sold such a beautiful island to them? Was it the money? No, there was something else.\" A Hoothoot was heard cooing in the trees and Leon's eyes darted to it—before he smiled and wave at the Pokémon. It only stared back with those blood red eyes of its.\n\n.\n\"The owner lady said this forest is *Cursed.*\" Once saying the words, a light breeze blew the trees as if old spirits were stirring awake. \"Another rich family before the Sigford owned this place. They were enjoying it much like this one. It was more a vacation spot than... What this is now for us. A gathering of strong trainers? Yeah. Everything was good until the daughter of this previous family noticed something by her window. Her mum often times told her that the human brain can shape things into scary things so she went to check it out—\" Then a Poochyana darted from the brush, crossing their path, before disappearing back into the darkness. This caused Leon to pause before he sighed out in relief. \"That surprised me!\" When they would begin walking again, it was as if the story slipped from his mind. He didn't continue it, but it's still held in the air."

However when Leon started talking after their silent walking so far, he didn't stop as clearly Leon wanted to get home as soon as possible and frankly while Allister lead the way, he was actually kinda scared himself. At Graveyards he interacts with all the Ghosts their but out here is all types of Pokemon, and vicious ones at that.\n\nThe Leon went on about a rumour he had heard. Guess a cursed forest was too much for a rich family to handle but even the Ghost expert had a chill down his spine as if they were being watched and unconsciously he began to slow down a little so he was closer to Leon, noticing the small details in their surroundings and keeping a vigilant watch. Leon was surprisingly good at making a story quite spooky, if it was anyone else they might be shivering in fear but Allister was too worried about something other than a ghost watching them and getting ready to jump out. And just as he thought that, without even a rustle, the Poochyana leapt out and frankly startled the Kid who didn't see the lime on but just knew something had jumped out and fell backwards into Leon before quickly regaining himself. He didn't get scared by Ghosts as he could communicate and sense them easily, but a dark type jumping out of thin air would get most peoples heart racing.\n\nThen with that out of the way, he gave a small nod to Leon as they continued down the path until they came to the first turn in. A left path, straight on, right diagonal and then a full right path. He pointed to the left one and continued down it before looking back over his shoulder, still slightly shaking and tried staying close to Leon. \"W-what else.. H-happened in the story..?\" Of course he'd be intrigued by it as it was a Ghost story and a Rumour but something just didn't sit well with him, and his head snapped to the right where he heard a twig snap. \"W-what was t-that..? It must've just b-been the wind... Right?\" He asked with slight worry as he just didn't want anything jumping out again but it didn't sound as small like a Joltik so he huddled around Leon's legs as best as he could in anticipation and slight worry/fear."

"message": "At least knowing Allister was listening, Leon resumed. He thought the boy was practically fearless being surrounded by ghost-types but even then there's something to be feared of. That Poochyana got the both of them, though. Even Leon has to admit that. When Allister's pacing slow down, Leon caught up to him and they walked side-by-side. \"Well, she went to her window and checked it out. Expecting it was just some shadow casted from somewhere, instead, she saw a *Floating human.*\" Leon knew this part wasn't going to be scary for Allister. Practically just another person to him. \"It had long white flowing hair and it's body and face was as pitch black as the darkened night sky. It told her in a *Raaaspy* Voice—\" And as he said \"Raspy,\" He leaned down to put a hand on Allister's shoulder and pull him close, hissing.\n\nThat's when the twig snap was heard and Leon's head quickly turned to it, eyes widen. \"... Probably the wind,\" He confirmed when Allister asked in a frenzy. \"Sheesh, what's with this. It's ruining my sto—I mean, the rumor I'm telling you.\" He takes a few paces forward even with Allister huddling around his legs. \"Stay here,\" He said, his palm held out to Allister so that he doesn't follow. \"I'll see what it is. Probably a Pokémon.\" Aside from ghosts, a feral Pokémon or a dangerous person in general is daunting. He didn't want the kid to get hurt in that case. Leon is ready to use his fists if he had to. Seeing as Allister was staying put, he gingerly took some steps into the brush, before being completely swallowed up by the dark greens. \n\nSilence. Except for the rustling from Leon's footsteps.\n\nBut then—!\n\n.\nSuddenly, the forest burst into sound as a yell within the dense trees could be heard. A flock of Rookidee flew from the trees as the array of noise and movement shook them from their slumber. \"Allister!\" Leon's cry could be heard within the stirring of leaves and creaking of branches. And then, as fast as it happened—everything went deathly silence. There was no more rustle, no more screaming. It was as if Leon was suddenly *Gone.* A hoothoot cooed once more, and what must be an annoyed Seviper who was awaken by th noise, hissed, before being heard slithering away."

Compared to its counterpart, these were extremely harmful to people and Pokemon.\nAnd finally, left behind by father, was a Gengar which floated around the small group, leaving behind mist and fog as it moved, although oddly enough, with a pure white coat of fur?

And yet, here they were, with two Pokémon missing, no, TAKEN from them.*\n\nHe slowly walked over to the boy still on the ground.

He was supposed to be the most powerful trainer in the whole damn world and yet he couldn't even budge when it came to that Sneasal and damned Lucario!

He got that maybe, just maybe if they stood out here or followed them, they'd catch them and get them back. When seeing Blue unable to stand up though, he had to go over.

He couldn't simply talk to the other boy about this either. He took off his jacket. The outside was soaked. But the inside was still warm, dry. Blue needed it more than he did right now. Anvi carefully put it over his shoulders, hoping that it at least helped with the helpless, lonely feeling he must have been going through. Anvi bent down and stayed next to him.

After inspecting the cut, he placed his claw on it, cooling the wound and stopping the bleeding with the pressure. Silver really didn't need it, he was fine, but of his entire team, Sneasel was the closest to him, being with him the longest, and surely knew how Silver tended to ignore his needs in favor of independence. Probably a result of the winter he passed out in Dragon's Den and had to be rescued by Ethan, much to his embarrassment. \n\n\"Thanks,\" Silver grumbled, and the feline nodded before turning to resume sniffing the air ahead of him.

He was forced to do some backtracking, hoping that he would find a branching path to take. \n\n\"Dang it, man! I knew this was a terrible idea.. My legs are killing me!\"\n\nHe would yell, not really caring if there was anyone around to hear him. After a few more minutes of walking he stopped. From andistance, he could hear footsteps. Not just one pair, however. There was one set of footsteps, followed by a different sounding pair. He wasn't entirely sure what he was getting himself into, but he used this opportunity to stop for a moment, letting his legs rest. Evemtually, two figures came into view. One he recognized immidietly as a Sneasel, there were a lot of those back in Sinnoh. However, next to the Sneasel was an unfamiliar boy. He immidietly caught attention to his red hair, though, and he had the biggest grin on his face. After they got closer, he would eventually call out.\n\n\"Yo, hotshot!\"\n\nHe would eventually start walking closer to them, but still keeping his distance. He definitely didn't look like a threatening guy, but he knew that you could never trust a Sneasel. \n\n\"Funny seeing you out here, huh? I'm actually doing a survey out here! Yep, and you seem like the perfect participant.\"\n\nHe claimed that he was doing a survey, but he definitely did not have paper, or a pen. Instead, he stood in front of the two, with his hands dug deep into his pockets."

"message": "Silver did not know what he was expecting, but it sure was not this. A man with a huge red afro was walking toward him awkwardly with his hands shoved in his pockets. Even Ethan didn't walk around looking like such a disaster. \n\nAt the mention of a survey, though, he narrowed his eyes. How stupid did this guy think he was? Silver had no idea who he was, but he definitely was *Not* Someone taking a survey. No pen and paper, no camera man, no computing device. He made no motion for Sneasel, but he was ready for a battle should it come to that.\n\nShould he point out the lie, or should he play along? The latter might be interesting, but he had no reason to play games with the man, unless he was someone like Petrel in a stupid disguise. Which was possible, but unlikely. Petrel would not be invited here, it was supposed to be exclusive to elite trainers. Which had been suspicious to him, and he had been keeping his guard up ever since he got here. \n\nSeeing no reason to play, Silver decided to get straight to the point. \"I highly doubt that,\" He called back, tilting his head to the side with an unamused expression. \"No clipboard or pen, and no bag to hide them in. State your true purpose, I'm stronger than you think.\""

He kept a close eye on the Sneasel, hoping and preying that the little thing would rip him a new one.\n\n\"Woah, woah! You sure mean business, huh?\"\n\nHe laughed once more, waiting for any type of response. After not getting one, he quickly shut his laughing up. The kid was actually serious, huh? Apparently so. He quickly raised one hand out of his pocket, and rubbed the back of his head. \n\n\"W-Well no, I don't really have a survey. See, I had this whole joke planned. I was gonna tell you that my survey was about red haired dudes, and why they're all so cool. Ya know, cuz we both got red hair, and we're both cool! Well, I know that I'm cool, at least- wait, but I'm sure you're cool, too!\"\n\nThe man was obviously a hot mess. He kneeled down, both of his hands on his knees.

"message": "Now Silver was just plain baffled, his raised eyebrow and wide eyes saying as much. He knew he tended to have an intimidating presence, and that usually scared a lot of people, but this was on another level. He subtly made a fist with one hand and dug his nails into his skin to check if his pain receptors were working. Okay, this wasn't a dream. Fantastic. \n\nShould he tell this man where he was from? Silver could hardly believe he had malicious intent anymore; when you grow up around criminals, you tend to know one when you see one. And this guy was anything but. Silver caught Sneasel looking at him expectantly, and he made a hand signal to be at ease. The pokémon lowered his claws and backed up to stand beside his trainer, but still ready to strike at a moment's notice if need be. \n\n\"My apologies if I came off a bit strong, I tend to do that around strangers,\" He admitted, relaxing his posture. \"And to answer your question, I came here from the Johto region.\" He paused for a moment. \"And I'm not sure I would describe myself as 'cool...' though that does sound like something a rival of mine would say.\" Silver could definitely see Ethan saying that, despite the fact that he would beg to disagree. Ethan seemed to think a lot higher of Silver than Silver thought of himself, for some reason. \n\nSilver regarded the man with a curious squint, wondering what he could be doing here of all places. He may as well ask. \"I did not expect to see anyone else on this path, are you headed anywhere?\""

Heard that some of the strongest trainers from around the world reside within Johto! I'm sure it's a nice place. I've never really stepped foot outside of my own region though, not till recently.\"\n\nHe acted cool and calm, yet the whole time, he was thinking *Just act natual!* He cleared his throat after his mini speech, followed by a few seconds of silence. Just as he was about to notice the boy speak once more, he decided to talk again, before he could.\n\n\"Ah, how silly of me! I almost forgot to answer your question. You see, I was walking along this trail, with the intention of knowing where it went. All I can day is, good thing I caught you when I did. Up this trail leads to absolutely nothing! I've been backtracking, trying to find. A branching path.\"\n\nHe took one hand out of his pocket, and used it to wipe the sweat pouring out of his forehead. Whether it was from the temperature or from the embarrassment, he did not know.\n\n\"Name's Flint. Member of the Sinnoh Reigon Elite Four! If you couldn't tell, I use fire types. I would probably assume the same thing for you, but that Sneasel you got there disproves my theory.\""

"author": "piperchu",
"message": "Silver raised his eyebrows again. \"Elite Four? You must be strong, then.\" His opinion of the man was rapidly changing. \"Though you must be, as my invitation to come here said that only strong trainers are allowed on the island.\"\n\nSilver wasn't really sure what to think now. This man, Flint, did not fit his mental image of a member of an Elite Four. But looks can be deceiving, of course. \"As for strong trainers in Johto, I'm assuming you are referring to the reputation of the Kanto-Johto champion, Lance.\" Silver's expression soured at the champion's name. \"I sincerely hope I do not run into him here.\"\n\nAt the mention of his partner, though, Silver's expression returned to normalcy, and he looked down at the feline. \"You are correct though, I do not specialize in a particular type. But I see that as an advantage. Less of a chance to get swept by a weaker team.\" Silver made sure not to reveal any parts of his strategy, in case Flint challenged him for whatever reason. Feraligator would make quick work of fire types, and that would be some easy EXP, but Silver didn't like easy battles. An easy battle meant a weak trainer, and Silver did not bother himself with weaklings. \n\nSilver glanced behind Flint at the path ahead. \"I was looking for a good place to train and give Sneasel some exercise, but it appears that this is not the direction to head. I do think that I saw a fork in the path a while back, and I can show you to it if you'd like.\" In truth, Silver was not sure if he really wanted to spend more time than necessary with this man, but if there was nothing at the end of this trail, then he had no reason to keep going."

And one of these days I'm going to be strong enough to beat him...\" \n\nSilver stopped as he felt a poke on his leg, and he looked down to see Sneasel squinting at him. It made Silver realize he was starting to go off at a complete stranger, and he gave a tiny nod to his partner. In addition to being the strongest pokémon on his team, Sneasel also kept Silver's attitude in check when the need arose. He closed his eyes and took a calming breath. \"He's just not the perfect saint everyone makes him out to be.\"\n\nSilver mentally berated himself for his folly. He was not fond of talking about himself to most people; the only person he would talk to about personal matters was Ethan, but that was *Ethan* And this man was not. He did not want to say much more.\n\n\"I'll show you to the path...\" He began, \"But I'm afraid I prefer not to share my name with strangers.\" He stopped for a moment, watching Flint walk past him.

It wasn't that personal. He decided to humor the man.\n\n\"Fame and notoriety are not my goal so much as strength is,\" He explained. \"My goal is to be the strongest trainer. I don't really care if fame comes with it, because fame is an empty concept invented by humanity to impose false superiority. A reputation that cannot be supported is no reputation at all. If you cannot stand alone, if you build your foundation solely on the support of others, you are weak.\"\n\nHe thought for a moment. \"Of course, there are some who have a reputation that they deserve. My rival is one, he looks harmless at first glance, but I know for a fact he's stormed two buildings infested by Team Rocket and emerged alive and unbeaten, not to mention taken on the Kanto-Johto League. One thing's for sure, he keeps me from slacking off, because if I want to be the strongest trainer, I have to beat him when we're both at full-force.\" There.

Then using the sand created by the sandstorm, he uses Protect to regain his energy with Leftovers some more and Sand Attack to reduce his targets visibility while he heals further. Once their targets sight is hindered as much as possible, Verre uses Rock Slide mostly to try to cause flinching and draw out the battle even more. Then once the storm's ended, Verre usually has enough energy to survive another heavy hit if his opponent can land a blow.

He'd hauled Leon's ass onto the beast, and now it was a matter of finding somewhere suitable to land. They were headed back to the forest, and towards the mountains this time. Leon asked if the volcano was going to erupt, and Allister merely shrugged. How was he supposed to know. \"I dunno. But-but people don't build if there's and active volcano, right?\" Maybe some did.\n\nFeeling a shift, Allister looked around, wondering where they were headed next, when he noticed the rising steam from the place of interest. It looked like hot water, though he didn't understand *How*Exactly such a thing existed. \"Hot springs?\" He repeated, with the pitch of a question at the end there. \"Y-you mean like season? B-but it's summer.\" Yes, the boy truly didn't know what hot springs were.\n\nThe two eventually landed, And Allister, feeling immediately sore and tired from the running around, slid off of Charizard and onto the ground. He sat with a yawn, leaning back against a nearby rock. Now with the adrenaline from the fighting gone, again, fatigue and pain were starting to set in. And it didn't take long for him to want something nice and calming, like a warm bath. But now wasn't exactly the time for that, since going back to the mansion would probably not pan out well.\n\n\"Leon?\" He asked, turning his head up to see the Champion. \"How long d'ya th-think we'll do this?\""

Then, as he's pulling his jersey over his head, it got stuck and Allister could only hear the mumbling voice, \"I'm not sure! I think, if we just apologized to Amelia, everything would be fine!\" To imagine they be on the run just because of a stupid *Mirror.* Was that thing more expensive than their own *Careers* At home? Finally, when the shirt slipped off his head, Leon turns to face Allister. \"There's always the option of going home, too.\" But in the corner of Leon's mind, he wants to relax a while longer before having to deal with the Chairman and his proposals once getting home.\n\nHe throws his snapback to the side with his jersey and cape. \"You could if you want to, but I'm planning on staying here. I'll see Amelia later. Or, maybe not.\" He snickers at that last sentence. Facing away from Allister now, Leon starts on his lower garments. \"Anyway! Enough of that stressful stuff. This is a hot *Spring*! It's like a, uh, jacuzzi! To think we'd find one in the middle of the mountain.\" Once the last article of clothing was off, Leon jumped in and SPLASH! Okay, maybe not jump in because the water is shallow. \"It's feels so good!\" He exclaims when he floats up, trying to hide the fact that he got hurt from hitting the bottom.

Since, in all honesty, the concept of bathing in naturally heated water was odd to someone who had never heard of it.

He *Was* Tired, and sore, and his knees were all messed up from the running and riding on Charizard again. He could use a break. But there was a little side of him that worried about two things.\n\"Yeah... 'm not going back int' town any time soon...\" He sighed, picking at some grass and throwing it. And the though of going back home was less than appealing right now, since as much as he loved Galar, and his sis, and his job, Allister also needed a longer break from all the parts he despised.\n\nFrowning, he watched Leon swim around, and he had to admit, it *Did* Look relaxing. He was probably in worse shape than the champion, just because he'd managed to get himself dinked up more, and wanted be able to calm down...\nThey were both guys, right?\nThis was fine.\n\nHe decided that sitting in basically nature's bathtub with his mask on wasn't really needed, and ditched that, followed by any accessories, and then his shoes and socks.

He grinned and kicked it, aimed at the water next to Leon.\n\"OW!\" He yelped, hopping over, now with just his shorts on. The rock hit Leon, oops, but at least gave the boy enough time to hop in the water without feeling *Too* Uncomfortable.

He scan the areas for anything dangerous that could cause such a thing, but couldn't find anything. Then where could that rock have come from? Oh. Allister has decided to dive in, after all!

Or is it the islanders just finding something to do besides their monotonous, boring lives? \"You want to go back, *Again*, Allister?\" Leon starts to ask before being cut by the \"Nope\" To the backscrub.\n\nLeon sort of whimpers from that response, but only because he himself want a backscrub! Of course, everything comes with a price, so if he wants his back scrubbed, he'd have to scrub Allister's. \"I'll prove it to you that it feels good! Come on, let's just do it! We can do it in the water if that'll make you feel better.\" What is Leon saying? They don't necessarily have a towel to scrub each other's back anyway. Fine. Then a back *Scratch* Should be good enough. But this would be his last push before moving on. There's no way in persuading Allister, especially if he's uncomfortable. Leon understands the situation anyway. Meanwhile, he splashed Allister again, so much so that the tuft of hair on the top of his head would flatten from being wet.

The Wingull fails to find a direction to fly still and swoop down to knock the daze Leon over and he falls flat on his back. And as a finishing touch, the cap finally gets off of the wild Pokémon and plops down on the man's face.\n\nAll of that which happened so quick—"

He laughed, covering his mouth as he witnesses the shock on the man's face. And then, oh boy! And then Leon hoped *Out* Of the hot springs, butt ass naked, making Allister back up when he did. The man bolted for his hat, trying to wrangle it out of the pokemon's grasp, when he slipped and fell onto their sleeping friends.\n*\"Oi, what the hell!\"* Allister could hear Arcana complain, looking around like he was really, *Really* Lost. The ghost then shrugged, before flopping back on the ground. Heh, sleepy boy.\n\"Arcana,\" Allister giggled, leaning out enough to flick water at his gengar... And then noticing Leon, flopping on the ground next to them. There he was Leon, and he wasn't exactly... Decent.\n\n\"A-\" Allister immediately had to choke back a laugh, not sure what to say or think. He climbed out of the hot springs, covering his chest with his arms, (though he was so young, it really didn't matter) and scooted up to the unconscious Leon. Taking the hat, he brushed a bit of the dust off of it, and then just... Oh, just placed the hat over his crotch, so at least the champ was a little more modest.\n\nHe scooted away now, leaning on Arcana and covering his eyes.\nPoor kid."

"message": "To think he'd faint a bit from the hit of the head. Allister got bashed in the noggin many times and he's still up and at them. Fluttering his eyes open, he's staring up at Allister. \"Ah, my cap...\" He says firstly, which is strange to think when he just got hurt! It's as if the thing is more important than his life! It took him a moment before he *Felt* It at his— It's by instinct, really, and he covers it. Vital. *Very* Vital, and Leon thought he was getting attacked *There.* He sits up fast and there's a small sense of Deja vu—like the one that happened back at the bathroom. Leon bashes his head against Allister and this time, the Galarian man cringed harder. \"Sorry...!\" He lets slip while gripping his head. He takes his cap in his hand and *Zooms* Just in time back into the hot water. \"A-ahhh!\" Leon sighs, trying to distract himself from doing something so darn embarrassing! It made him nearly cry from how stupid he probably looked. ~~And appearing indecent to a kid is killing him and his morales~~.\n\n\"Allister! I think it's time for my back scrub, right?\" He's resting his arms agains the bank again, slightly turning his head to speak to Allister before looking back forward so that the little boy wouldn't see the face of this pathetic man. Charizard also seems apologetic for blasting his partner but it knows the man can take a few attacks to the face. It completely ignore his dignity and goes back to nap next to Arcana. Just a short one before they have to go. \"This really has been a long day, huh? Isn't it going to get dark soon?\" Leon rambles on as a distraction still. \"I also wonder what everyone else is up to. Too bad you've been stuck with me, haha!\" He remembers that he haven't checked Rotomphone for a while now."

G-glad you're awa-ugh-\" He looked up at Leon who straight up sprinted for the water, diving back in, as if the water could cleanse him of his previous embarrassment. Not gonna work, as he was totally red. And yeah, hard to blame him, since he *Did* Just accidently flash someone. Well, specifically that someone was *Allister*, so yeah, his embarrassment was warranted. Oh, and he was *NOT* Giving the guy a backscrub after that!\n\n\"Nuh-\" Allister said, crossing his arms and turning his head up. \"'M not getting b-back in the spring with you afta th-that.\" Though he said it trying to be serious, a loud giggle came out at the end, causing the gym leader to face palm, covering his mouth. He was embarrassed beyond belief, but still somehow having fun (?) goofing off with the champion.\n\n*\"Oi! Give my kid a break,\"* Arcana laughed, still patting the boy's head. *\"He's been stuck puttin' up with ya all day. Can you imagine!\"*\n\"Arcana!\" Allister laughed, giving the pokemon a smack on the paw, even if Leon didn't hear the comment. \"Y-ye'... *Too bad,*\" He sighed, in an overexaggerated manner. Leon sure didn't need to be told how odd this was, since they weren't exactly good friends back home. Heck, nagging part of his brain, was still saying that once they got home, they'd go back to ignoring each other...\nHe really hoped not.\n\nAllister shivered as a cloud passed over head, hugging himself. It was just dawning on him that the sun was setting, and he didn't have a shirt on. Plus, his hair and pants were wet. \"A-agh, nu,\" He said, to Arcana, who was hugging him. As much as the ghost though he was helping, he was actually making Allister colder! Until he came up with a better idea, and shoved his trainer back into the springs with Leon. (the last place he wanted to be).\n\n\"Ack! N-now 'm wet again.\" Not like he ever dried of in the first place."

The nighttime is really upon them and Leon reassures Allister that they'll go back soon- should they? If they're in trouble with Sigford, going back would be even more troublesome. But it's not like they can stay out forever. Sleeping outside wouldn't be bad, but it'll be nice to be in the comforts of pillows and blankets... Leon starts sinking under the water, dozing off, all the excitement of the day catching up to him. \n\nAllister yelled something out and Leon jarred from his minute nap. \"Arcana?\" What reason did the boy had to scream that? But, looking back at the kid, he seem to be conversing with his Gengar. *\"Is that Arcana?\"* How come Leon just found this out now? Then they started cuddling with each other and the man couldn't help but smile from the display of affection. It made him want to jump out and give Charizard a hug himself! Then—Allister was suddenly (might as well) *Yeeted* Back into the water with Leon! \"Oh! I guess it's better than standing in the cold!\" He chuckles lightly before smirking and running his hand through Allister's hair, making it messy and get in his face.\n\n\"What do you say about going back to the mansion?\" Leon suggests and rests his hand back to his side. Actually, both of them relaxing in the hot spring while the sun is setting really makes for a nostalgic feel for some reason. Leon is content with this and sighs once again, through his nose, and sink back down. \"If you're still worried, we can tiptoe around.\" It'll be like they're spies infiltrating the mansion! Well, if they found anyone else in the mansion, they probably wouldn't care anyway. Except, *Maybe* Amelia."

Hey-\" Allister complained, though again, couldn't bring himself to be mad, when Leon messed up his hair, and he finally lifted his head, spitting out some of the longer bits. \"N-not *My* Fault I fell in!\" He declared with a pout, through it looked odd with a large chunk of hair still in his face. Arcana reached over, pulling it out of the way, and smoothing his hair back down and parting it in the usual pieces. Yes, Allister taught his gengar how to style his hair for him.\n*\"Heh, there ya go kiddo!\"* And his ghastly friend gave his head a hug, nuzzling the boy who offered a pet in return. \"Mmh! Th-thank you Arcana!\" He looked over at Leon, just now addressing his question. \"Um... Heh... N-named him Arcana. Er this guy,\" He said, giving the pokemon behind him a poke, who giggled.\n*\"That tickles!\"*\n\"Y'know, after Tarot cards?\" He said, not sure if the champ actually knew what he was talking about. He didn't know at the time either, since he'd met the little ghastly that would become his ace a whole six years ago. Shortly after his mom had... Moved on. \"I-I named 'im when I was four so... Uh, don't judge, 'kay? The name jus' kinda stuck.\" Huh... Damn, he'd had this guy for most of his life at this point. \"You ever name Charizard?\"\n\nIt was starting to get late, as the two of them had been soaking in the spring. Leon was sleepy looking, and Allister was just straight up sleepy. And enjoying the comfort of Arcana petting his hair. Agh, right... They can't stay here forever...\n\"Oh...\" Allister tried to think for a moment, but honestly had no idea. \"I think if we go back to the mansion, th-they won't think to look for us. W-we can find a room to hide in!\" Which was logic that didn't *Really* Work outside of a child's imagination, but they really couldn't sleep in the hot springs."

Charizard is busy with its sleep to give his ~~dad~~ trainer some cuddles. Leon is *Slightly* Envious. \"Arcana sounds like a cool name for something that came from a four year old!\" When the conversation shifted to him Leon nodded eagerly. \"Yeah! I actually named him after my favorite wrestler when I was young.\" It seemed too embarrassing to say, but he'd just tell Allister the nickname. \"John.\"\n\nHuffing—no, wait. *Yawning*, Leon's head would loll to the side toward Allister, but he picks it up before they bonk heads again. \"Hiding! That sounds like fun. Let's do that then?\" He starts jerking his head to the sides so that they crack. Relaxing in the hot spring really eased him up. They have to come back again later! Getting up from the water, he's be dripping before turning to help Allister up. \"Let's go, Masked Boy.\" He winked, knowing damn well how cheesy that name is. But this day alone really brought about many things. Most of which are positive, personally to the Galarian man. It's too bad it's going to end.\n\nGuess it's Charizard's cue to awaken. Stretching out, the beast Pokémon awakes from its slumber and saunters over the the trainers, with their clothes in its arms. Since it's turning night, the air this time, is colder. Even with the steam coming from the hot springs, they can tell it's probably going to rain more as the night settles in."

Aah, but there was probably a reason behind it. \"I-I'll have t' tell you 'bout them later. They're not playing cards though.\" C'mon, how did Leon not know about tarot cards? Oh well. Was it time for them to go? Because if he wanted to learn about the cards, they would probably have to go back to the mansion first. Oh, and it looks like they'd be sneaking around to get there.\n\nAwe, alright... Looks like it was time for them to leave. Just as Allister had gotten comfortable in the water again, and had Arcana petting his head. \"Mmm, alright-\" He yawned, stretching his arms. It was cold out though, and took a *Lot* Of will to drag himself out of the warm water and get dressed. And dammit, his shorts were still gonna be soaked on the way back. \"Th-thank you,\" He said, receiving his shirt from *John.*\nGetting dressed was really easy for the freezing little boy, though getting shoes and sock on with wet feet was a pain! For now, he could ignore that he was still dripping from his legs, as long as he didn't go leaving puddles all over the mansion. He finished brushing himself down, and with Arcana buckling his mask back on his face, his normal look was complete.\n\"Heh,\" Allister giggled, giving the gengar a pat on the head, before he disappeared into the boy's shadow like before. As he walked past Leon who was *Thankfully* Getting dressed, he added, \"N-never lose th't hat again... I mean it,\" Before gently placing a tiny hand on the champions arm. \"W-we ready to go?\""

Just as he's snugging it onto his head, Allister comments about never losing his cap. He had to blush to that while pulling the visor slightly over his eyes. \"I got it...!\"\n\nLowering itself to the ground, Charizard crouches for the two to get on. Leon lifts Allister to his usual spot at the neck and he gets on afterwards, on the back. He tries to hide his yawn behind his hand, but his voice is heard anyway. \"Hwaaah... Up and away, Charizard! Back to the mansion, buddy.\" He pats the Pokémon twice before it nods and soars into the sky. Just in time, as the clouds above begins to pour rain lightly on them. Leon rubs his eyes and uses his cape to hang over Allister so that it wouldn't get to the kid and have him sick. From there, they return to the mansion!"

He heard this was a quiet, nice area to just relax with nature. Well, everything here was nature so oh well. \n\nPiers went over and looked up to the wooden entrance. He looked around, seeing that he needed to take off his shoes before going in. Sighing, he gets down and takes off his boots. These were great for his fashion sense but there was a reason he usually only took them off when he was prepared to not go out. Once he managed to get them off, he slides the door and looks around. Ah, now nice. Golden lights illuminated the Japanese style architecture. There were low set tables, and an area for... Yes! Alcohol. \n\"Might as well really relax while I'm here, huh.\" He goes over and sits down on one of the pillows, taking out his phone and also wondering what drinks they had available.

It was late now, almost sunset as he stumbled upon a hot springs, tucked behind the trees. It was relatively cool now, and after all the excitement of helping that Oshawott, he wanted to take some time to relax and unwind. Figuring that no one will wander over her, N ditched his clothes, minus his pants, before dipping his toe in the water. It was just warm enough that he could drop right in, and settle down. The young man brushed a hand through his hair, as he leaned his head back, beginning to drift into memory.\n\nFor as much as he wanted to stay here, he would eventually have to go off and do something else. N still wasn't sure what he wanted in life, or where he was headed next. He was a year of so into his freedom, when the letter arrived where he was currently living, inviting him to the island. He thought that coming here might give him some time to relax and clear his head, but in the end, it did anything but.\nN found himself betting confused by everything here. The other people he'd met, like the Galarians, and especially the man who's hair he'd gotten stuck to. The pokemon from that islet had confused him. What had they meant, \"Take something else.\" He didn't know.\nN wanted more answers than the world was giving him right now. He wanted to know every question the island and his life before had thrown his way and more. But he just couldn't figure it out!\n\nNot helping was that N never ran into anyone he knew, since leaving on his own. He hadn't made any bonds with the people he'd met, either. So it wasn't like there was anyone for him to talk to. N kind of wished someone from his past would turn up, Black, White, maybe one of his sisters.

The word's origin was an azure-haired woman resting at the far edge of the spring. Her lower body concealed itself with delicately draped curtains of fog complimented by the aquatic mirror that consumed her. If her voice was not enough, her eyes would convey her relaxed state. Although, it was questionable if her state was the spring's doing or her own nature. Near her was Scizor, her body completely concealed by the pool's gentle grasp.
