He gave Leon's arm a gentle pat. \"We're in no rush, Leon. Though it would be good to take time into consideration... Oh, this is vacation!\" \nHe recalled Leon saying something about his outfit. \"Perhaps some day we will go shopping. Your current outfit is—well, was nice on you. It was never your style, and yet, you pulled it off so well.\" He turned around and dusted off his shoulder. His clothing took some damage from those contests. \n\n\"A bakery, how nice.\" Rose smiled when seeing the shop. They were close enough to pick up the sweet scents of baked goods, too. \"Perhaps I shouldn't indulge too much, I should work more on my appearance.\" Well he certainly wasn't *Thin*, is what he meant. \"Whatever you'd like, you don't have to stop yourself from having it.

Upon hearing the mention of shopping, Leon has his eyes glittering with excitement again. Admittingly, he disliked clothes shopping since he remembered how boring it was with his mother. \"Let's do that when you have time!\" And that might've been by habit since usually at this point, Oleana would drag Mr. Chairman away. ~~Luckily she isn't around~~.\n\n\"I wore it because it seem like it would fit the theme of contests,\" Leon adds. \"I wanted to look good for Ms. Irsia, even if it meant being stuck in something like this.\" That itself showed how much he cares for the the motherly lady. Now, seeing the lines of bread items on display has Leon drooling and he never realized how hungry he was. \"Whatever I like?\" He presses himself to a case. \"No, why don't you pick first, Mr. Chairman?\" He might just get the same thing he would get. Otherwise, it'll be croissants, taro bread, maybe a donut or two, and some bagels—"

How about, I let you choose this time? Within some boundaries of course. It would have to be the same level of formality of your current outfit.\" A small chuckle came from him as Leon pressed his face fo the glass. He surely wasn't the only person who was doing it. There was a small child about two feet away that was doing the same. \"Everything here looks delicious.\" He commented. \n\nHe looked over Leon. He was close to him to get the same view of him. \"You want me to pick first? If you insist.\" He puts a hand under his chin and narrows his eyes. \"Everything looks delectable. Oh, they have scones?\" He was surprised to see those here. \"And look at the varieties of cream cheese. This is certainly temping...\" After another moment of thinking, he was sure he had his order decided. \"I think I will be having a cranberry-orange scone, a bagel with dill cream cheese and strawberry cream cheese, and... Oh, one of those cinnamon rolls. Those are quite large. Leon, you might need to share one with me.\" He lightly teased. \"Now, it's your turn to select what you want.\""

Many times he asked himself he should act like one but his childish side overweighs that. Maybe someday—just not now.\n\nAdding onto the conversation of his mischief, he mentioned how almost the whole region's league is here! He even got to talking about Sonia. \"I'm glad she's here!

"message": "Rose clicked his tongue. He tapped his fingers on the table. It was only a few bills. Something nagged him about not being able to pay for a *Thing.* He was supposed to be treating Leon, was he not? Never mind that now. Leon set down two canned teas and got straight to work with his. Rose took a sip and nodded to himself; it was earthy and slightly bitter. ~~Maybe some terms that would describe him perfectly.~~~\n\nHe paired it with another bite of his cinnamon roll. Green eyes refocused onto Leon as he continued his talking. The champion always had a lot to say, didn't he? It was refreshing. \"So I've heard. Raihan is very vocal and transparent on his social media page. In terms of individual friendships, Piers and Raihan have always been a smidge closer.\" Somewhere, Piers must have felt a little nag right as he said that. \"Sonia, the young professor.\" Rose repeated. \"She's taken your brother as her assistant, no?\" \n\nThat was odd; Leon trailed off. Something must have struck him when he mentioned his childhood friend. Rose's lips curled into a smile. \"You must care for her a lot. I can tell she's on your mind. More often than you let on, even.\" He rests his head in his hand. \"You already possess the key, Leon. Confidence. Ask her if she'd like to go to dinner. I'll reserve a place for you two.\""

"author": "Leon.",
"message": "Hearing about Raihan and Piers, he's jarred a bit before looking off to the distance once again, tight-lipped. Finally, he sighs after having the sun reflect off his eyes as if tears were collecting, but that's not the case. To play if off nonchalant, he melodramatically put his hands on his hips. \"They went on without me!\" Even though Leon knows that he's been the one to run ahead without them. Maybe this time, they're content staying back... Since it's just them two. He hopes they could still be a trio even if.. If something is up between the dragon and dark-type gym leader. ~~He's either too dense or denying it.~~\n\n\"I do, a lot. I'm grateful for her,\" He answers, relaxing from his small tantrum of feeling left out. Sonia was someone he first befriended after moving to Galar. She was sweet, kind, and inviting. Sure, anyone could just say those words, but when Leon thought about the sun, sometimes Sonia comes into view, as the light bounced off her red curls—and her smile. Truthfully, Leon was a brat, a jerk when he was younger. He's the kind of kid that did things just to look *Cool.* Sonia was the opposite and probably—that's what drawn Leon to her. She made the ruffian a decent person at least. Of course, that comes with his other experiences, like being an older brother! \n\nHe gives a tensed laugh. \"Don't tell anyone this Mr. Chairman, but... Even I get jealous of Hop. That he's able to spend more time with her than me. Even if it's them just working. Even if it's nothing. I...\" He clenches his fists at the table before standing up and declaring, \"I'll ask her out for dinner myself!\" He doesn't want Rose doing everything for him. He's the man, he got to do this *Himself.* Sitting back down, he seems mad with but if anything, he's determined. \"Ugh, but will I really be fine?\" He known this female for years, it'll be silly if he starts being self aware of how he've been!\n\nMaybe he could use a little help after all."

"message": "Oh right, the three of them were a trio. Rose was a tad worried when seeing Leon turn away. Maybe he was disappointed that the two were in a relationship. They had less time for Leon and it must have hurt. Rose had a keen eye and Leon had clearer emotions than himself. Leon should talk to them as well, they were still his friends. He takes another bite of his cinnamon roll but wasn't the least bit closer to finishing it. He put his fork down and took another sip from his tea. \n\nThose golden eyes held *So* Much more than the words that came from the Champion's mouth. Rose had seen that look before. Probably *Given* It to someone. Jealous of his baby brother? That was something he'd never expect to hear. He found himself leaning in anticipating Leon to spill out everything. Agh. He wanted to say something, didn't he? Leon didn't say it outright—but his positive answer to Rose's question was a confirmation. \n\n\"Yes, yes, of course. *You* Must ask her. I won't meddle, I promise. The most I would do is make a call and reserve a table.\" He chuckled. \"Doubt isn't a word in your vocabulary, Leon.\" There he was, taking a strand of his hair. The lock twirled effortlessly through his fingers' he briefly closed his eyes. \"You'll never know how she feels back unless you ask. It's obvious you *Like* Her.\" There weren't many moments he was so blunt. A soft laugh came out and before Leon sputtered something out, he waved his hand. \"You like many people; your family, your friends, perhaps even me. Now, all you need to do is figure out where. Your words will not fail you when the time comes.\""

Yeah, he likes Sonia but does it permit as like *Like* Or just someone he wishes to protect and preserve the smile to? His own face would blush, his lips quivering as he presses them together. What's with the sudden shift of topic to be about love? He'll get to that! He just wants to live his life. There's so much he can do right now at this prime age. But maybe... He's just running away? He'll get to it when it's at his face (but isn't it now?). Rose had a point. He's not one to doubt. What Leon decides is what he's always confident to follow through! \n\n\"Thanks, Arjun,\" He says honestly. \"Times like this, I'm glad I have someone like you to talk to.\" He smiles softly, tilting his head slightly. Sometimes he needed someone like an adult to push him. Someone who knows better than him. Heck, the champ knows he doesn't make the best situations since he tends to follow his whims. The Chairman is easily someone he could rely on, someone he looked up to. Someone he likes. Coincidentally, as Rose said it, Leon jumped up at the chance.\n\n\"Of course I like you! You're important to me—er, Galar!\" There's sometning definitely special about the other man. He's something that Leon felt missing, someone that consoled that kernel of apathy in him."

What was Alli up to, she thought to herself. She looked over to him and saw the mask. *Where did that mask even come from?* It was pretty amusing! She put her hand to her mouth and laughed quietly. She really did like seeing the child act like, well... A child, even if it was because Leon was feeling a bit down. Hearing Leon's hearty laugh had her laughing more too. \"It really does,\" She agreed. She turned around so she could focus on getting the souvenirs for her kids."

He looks around the little place; it was a little quirky and mismatched. But something drew him in. \"We're gonna be in here just for a lil' bit. It might be closin' soon.\" He pulled Raihan in, now focused on getting something for Marnie. Now, what could he get her. Just then, he caught glimpse of someone; a woman? She was with a child and she was laughing.\"\n\"Shit. Shit, oh shit-\" He did a 180 on his heels and started walking in the other direction like he didn't see them."

He took the mask off and snickered, seeing what he'd just been wearing. \"Ooooh...\" After a moment, Allister smirked (kinda, being smug really isn't his thing) before throwing the mask at Leon, slapping him it the face with it.\n\"Y'know wh't h-here. I... I th'nk i's more your style anyways.\"\nAfter all that, and retrieving the fan, everyone seemed to be realizing how late it was. The guy behind the counter seemed to realize it too, raising an eyebrow at all the weirdly dressed (minus Irsia) trainers messing around in his shop at like, 9ish pm. Sighing, Allister brought the fan over with him to pay for it when he noticed two men had just walked in.\n\"H-hey guys,\" He said, giving them a little wave.

At least that's what the young gym leader would expect. As someone who spent a lot of time out and about at night, he knew that many places weren't open after 8:00. Looking at his phone, it was later than that. Well, since he was catching his breath and all, Allister would have expected to be alone in this part of the store, but no. He actually wasn't.\nSquinting a bit, the boy lowered his fan in order to get a better look at the girl in the store. And in all honesty, he was shocked. It was Gloria of all people, the girl well known in Galar for her strength as a challenger. He was slightly concerned that there were more Galarians there, aka more people who he actually had to worry about after this vacation. Allister went back to fanning himself.

He just can't keep himself from thinking about battles even on an island getaway. At this point he's just observing the others as they get chummy with each other. They really are like a family.

Besides, how would you even know that in a flask would be alcohol in the first place? It's a great place for any cold liquid to store, not only alcohol~ **Pocketing his flask in his coat again, he tilted his head rather curious now** Are you now going to put an end to my nefarious plans of staying hydrated, mr.

His smile died down a bit at what the man had said before chuckling sightly, he wasn't being serious now was he? Oh god he hoped he wasn't about to be yelled at for trying to interfere with whatever strange ritual this stranger was having. \n\n\"Hahah you're funny! You are kidding right? That kind of stuff only happens in fairy tales no way!\" He childishly chided with a soft giggle before gulping slightly. A condition? What kind of condition? That one line had managed to conjure up another long line of provocative questions, \"O-oh i'd hate to stop your hydration practices...\" He sheepishly murmured looking down his usual wide smile bracing his lips again as he looked up. \"Heheh you're funny! What kind of condition is it? What kind of poison are you drinking? Isn't it illegal to carry around substances that could kill people around are you going to use it on me?!\" Without a second thought his usual bubbly persona kicked in and off he went firing off the core questions that he had.

Cynthia would have given up on him, like seriously, who gets lost in a 10 feet of distance? Unless he went the other way...\n\nCynthia selected a table, closer to the inside as she didn't want the pararazzi getting any ideas of what they could be together. For all she knew, they could easily twist up the scene of make it so that she was dating this idiot! A lovely and cute idiot but an idiot nevertheless. It would have caused way too many headaches for Cynthia, all the while as she's on vacation. Before anything could happen, Cynthia would look towards Leon, hoping he wouldn't be distracted by anything else.\n\n\"Well Leon, how about you tell me what's been happening around you?

His mind is usually filled with running thoughts that it's simply hard to *Focus.* Walking through the entrance, he almost stood there, standing proud with his hand on his hips, before he was ushered by Cynthia to go into the deepest part of the cafe, away from the windows. Too bad! Leon would've liked to simply stare outside and up into the clouds. Staying inside isn't fun at all. \n\nThe waiter gave them a small, free example of this Pecha berry cobbler, and then their menu, before heading to the back to give the two time to look through and make their decision. In his opinion, Leon isn't much for sweets, it doesn't seem to fill him up as much. And all that sugar... His eyes skim the menu in his hands but he's not really reading the text, instead hearing Cynthia. If he mentioned about the shenanigans that he had been with Allister, would she diss him, be proud, or don't care? That's the thing with the Sinnoh champion. She's unpredictable.\n\n\"You're so nosy, you might as well tell me something about yourself first,\" He says with a single laugh. He proceeds to say, anyway. \"Still undefeated (officially) as you know!\" He exclaims and takes a bite from the cobbler, still leaving enough for the other to enjoy ~~definitely not holding back~~. \"Aside from that, there's a lot of free time so I've been pulled into other things in the meantime.\" Back in Galar, it came to interviews and commercials. He's also been called to be a model or act in shows. It's stuff that Leon did because he's champion but something he personally wouldn't want to do.\n\nThe acting bit... Yeah. He's not so good at that but the producer's excuses are usually along the lines of \"If you look handsome enough, no one would care if you're bad!\" Which stung. Leon likes to always give it his best but knowing he's an exception just because he's 'champion' can get pretty annoying and seemingly entitled.\n\nAnd photographers are a hit or miss, some creepy... \"You know how much I don't like photoshoots, though. If they want pictures, then they should just ask my Pokémon team since they're the ones who are mainly doing most of the work in those battles.\" He leans back in his chair and sighed. Leon can't forget the weirdos when he was just made champion. New to the paparazzi stuff, he was almost put through some strange stuff if it wasn't for the chairman who saved him from those. \n\n\"How about yourself?\" He asks. \"Got a boyfriend yet?\" It's something you wouldn't expect Leon to ask but it has been a running gag for him to ask whenever they reunite since he knows how difficult the woman is to score one!"

There were many paintings on the walls of ancient Pokemon, along with tv screens showing battles of none other than Leon! There were some Cynthia ones too but she didn't really pay too much attention to them. She knew Leon would have his eyes glued to those screens if he saw them. Unlike her, Leon knows how to have fun whilst battling, and with style.\n\nCynthia gave a thanks to the waiter who gave them a small sample of the Pecha Berry Cobbler. Although sweet and savoury wasn't her type of food, it was free food! She could never say to free food. After allowing Leon to consume his half of the cobbler, she'd nom away on the other side. Cherishing the sweetness of the Pecha Berry and the savoury crust. Perhaps she could change her opinion on sweet and savoury after this as the cobbler was out of this world! Sweet but not too sweet that the sweetness would overpower the whole item. The crust was well prepared, possibly freshly made pastry. \n\n\"I suppose I am but can't you let your ~~older sister~~ friend hear about what you've been doing so far? That's the whole point of us meeting isn't it~?\" She'd playfully respond to his remarks. As she'd listen to him ramble on about whatever he had been doing since, championship, undefeated, acting, modelling, blah blah blah... Her eyes wouldn't be on his cute stupid mug but on the menu. There was quite a few savoury items along with the sweets. As her eyes scrolled through the menu, they'd reach the ice cream section. Before she could flip the menu over towards the ice cream section, she'd hear Leon finish, ending with a question and a silly remark towards her.\n\nShe gave a little laugh in response to his silly question. \"A boyfriend? Well... Not exactly as of yet. I do have some close friends that have the possibility of reaching that position but none as of yet.\" She'd twirl her hair a little bit, looking amused. She was quite surprised when Leon asked that question... But that was a question even the paparazzi asked. If she was being honest, no one truly fit the role to be her boyfriend as of yet. Wallace was a powerful contender, spending time in the festival did bring them closer but there was still something missing from him. The essence of youth. \n\n\"I've just been alone ever since we've met Leon. I had no time for a relationship until well... I guess I am in a spot of free time so perhaps I may achieve on here.\" As she finished, she began thinking of what to tell him, about what she had done over the past years since they last met in person. Well, nothing really as she's only focusing on research, holding onto her champion position and... Visiting other regions and their festivities as well! \n\n\"Ah, you must know, travelling all around the other regions has been so much fun! I was able to learn so much about their culture and how they party differently! I know~ It's a little weird hearing partying from me but if you haven't noticed, I still wish to retain my youth!\" She'd go on about partying in Unova, Kalos and other regions, dressing up differently from her normal full black attire."

"message": "Leon averts his eyes and nervously chuckle. \"Are you kind of saying it's my fault you haven't gotten into a relationship?\" Except, he knew what she meant. Time is short for any champion. Leon could agree with that too. But there's also something else. He doesn't want the person—if he was ever going to worry about anything like dating—to be overwhelmed with paparazzi because of him. It could be stressful, and putting someone through that would be his fault. Of course interviewers these days are desperate for dirt. Leon wouldn't be surprised if a conspiracy was made about him! The world is wild like that. If he ever thought about having a significant other, it has to be someone who's used to it... A funny thought flashed through his mind. Cynthia. Since she goes through the same thing, she wouldn't be so deterred. \n\nIt seemed uncanny though, and Leon moved on before it could get any weirder in his mind. Talking about the world, Cynthia has the luxury to travel it. Leon usually stayed in his own region since that's where he's mostly needed. This island getaway is the first of after a while where he got to leave Galar. The other one being Alola. \"Party? Yeah, never thought you as a partygoer. Are you quite the party animal or are you as bland as when you're with your books?\" He's making fun of her now, but Leon sure as heck was the bookworm when he was young. Although now, he barely reads. He rather battle! Just in time, his eyes lift to a tv screen, and a battle of Cynthia displays. \"You look gorgeous still,\" He simply puts. \"It's as if you never changed since you were a kid.\" Aside from that damn height! Then again, she was still taller than Leon even in those years back! \n\nThat's when the waiter comes back, ready for their orders. Anyone could guess what Leon is going to order—half the menu! His expression is lighten up like a kid's who thinks he did something worth praising for."

"message": "\"No, I'm just implying that the media has the power over humans with as powerful statuses as us.\" Cynthia would definitely want a significant other was confident, wild, young and intelligent but attaining all of those traits seemed almost impossible. Perhaps if she asked for a male clone of her, that would be her perfect match but that wasn't obtainable either. Should she give Leon a little chance? No, he probably already has someone with him, how could he not? He was a loveable dumbass (~~with a shiny butt~~). She wasn't used to many trainers either, and a relationship would need to grow, start off small until either party feels completely confident with each other. They'd need to spend a lot of time together... However, with how much Cynthia moved around, that was difficult. There just weren't many suitable suitors for her. \n\nYes, contrary to everything Leon believed about her, Cynthia was a party animal! She loved partying, even heading to some night parties disguised as a complete stranger! She needed the freedom away from all the responsibilities and the reigns she held. Getting caught would be the end of her champion image but that was also the the thrill Cynthia enjoyed. By day she was a little miss perfect, but at night, she was a completely different person. \"Maybe I should take you to a party one day Leon. I'm certain someone like you will enjoy the atmosphere and the music.\" As she'd say, her eyes would drag towards the TV screen as well. \"Eh, they got my bad side... I wish I could just tell them to get my good side every time!\" She'd give a little frustrated mutter which was also a joke. \"Thank you for the compliment Leon. I don't think I have changed since I was a kid no... You haven't grown either.\" Yep, she teased him back with a remark.\n\nAs the waiter came, Cynthia would order a couple of things. Another Pecha Berry Cobbler and well... Half the other menu Leon didn't order. She'd save the other half to taste all the ice cream flavours later."

"message": "It's not a surprise that Cynthia ordered the other half. Even better! She'll share, right? As for their drinks, it'll be quickly made. The waiter gave both the champions a quirk brow before heading back to the kitchen. \"That's true, but I'm not going to worry about that stuff.\" Leon smiles widely. \"Live in the moment now! Romances will come when it does.\" He always pushed it aside until it's right in front of his face. Right now is the prime age for enjoying his youth with whatever he likes! If only he knew...\n\nAs an added bonus for ordering quite the bundle of dishes ~~pretty much *All*~~, Cynthia and Leon receives a free cafe au lait for their patronage. \"Parties...\" When he thought of \"Parties\", he thought of raves for some reason. He actually never got chances to go to much. Maybe this would be a good opportunity for him then. \"Sure...\" He takes a sip of his free drink slowly, his eyes focusing anywhere besides Cynthia. The man knows how clumsy he can get. Rave parties screams something that could go wrong! \"What are you talking about?\" And just as he tries to focus on this supposed bad side of Cynthia on the tv screen, it transitioned over to a battle from Steven.\n\n\"You worry too much! Just have fun when it comes to battling. You'll only grow older if you dwell on things like 'appearance'. I wouldn't care if I was head-to-toe with mud as long as I have a champion time!\" He does his signature Charizard pose while sitting down (so basically only his left hand is in the air). He's going to take the \"Haven't grown\" Comment as a compliment. \"Anyway, you have plans after this?\" He's curious what Cynthia was doing in the plaza in the first place. \"I'll leave you to it after we're done here.\""

"message": "She wasn't going to order half of the entire menu at first, but after Leon ordered one half, she supposed ordering the other half to taste wouldn't be too bad. Also, she found it incredibly adorable when Leon was eating. An innocent expression, not a single care in the world when he was stuffing his face with food. \"Of course, that's why I'm waiting until someone is to come to me~ It wouldn't be me very much if I was to chase someone now would it?\" Cynthia was still in her 20s, right in the middle of her 20s at that. Her youth was still ever so present but it wasn't going to last forever. She was going to make the most of her 20s. \n\nCynthia would sip her drink, listening to Leon speak as his innocence shone through it all. He had never been to a party, which was something expected with his dumb little innocent mind. Raves on the other hand, were something not even Cynthia had experienced before. She had read online articles and they were, very revealing. Although it looked really fun, she knew she couldn't indulge in such activities. With the amount of clothes they wear... It wouldn't be long until someone was to find out who she was underneath it all. \"Heh, looks like the media saved me from you seeing my bad side.\"\n\nShe'd look back towards the TV, watching Steven and his Metagross fending off another challenger. \"I suppose I do. The more I frown, the more wrinkles appear on my face.\" She'd give a smile towards Leon. \"I'd still rather not have any mud on anywhere.\" Cynthia gave a chuckle as Leon did his signature pose, clapping as the audience would. He was such a baby in her eyes. \"My plans after this? I wasn't planning on anything if I'm being honest. I was looking around since this is my first time around the plaza. If you'd like, would you like to have a little tour around with me? Or would you leave your ~~older sister~~ friend so early?\""

He'll have to burn it off later... \"Ah, well...\" He looks around to make up an excuse. It's not that he doesn't want to hang out with Cynthia but he rather do something *Without* Her ~~what's the difference?~~. Still, he can't help but take this opportunity to tease her. \"And *You* Tell me, I'm the one who gets lost.\" He almost slams his empty cup of cafe au lait down on the table as he declares. \"Guess I just have to show you around! Did you know I already know this whole island?\" Which is an exaggeration at his end, but he and Allister really went places! \n\nThat's when their cakes and sweets arrived. It all came on a cart and put on their table delicately. The whiff of cream and fresh fruits, along with chocolate has Leon drooling a bit at the side of his mouth. Too bad Leon felt the common courtesy to wait until everything was laid out in front of them. There was still plenty of other sweets on the cart which the waiter told them that he'll leave so that the champions could grab them anytime. Once they left, it was CHOw time! Ignoring etiquette—because he's in front of Cynthia anyway—his elbows are on the table as he forks up about four different desserts into his mouth, chewing happily.\n\nMessy eater as ever... He gives a thumbs up to Cynthia to show his approval."

"message": "\"The difference between your lost and my lost is that I have not been to the desired location as of yet. Also, I do not get lost every 10 steps because of my peabrain Leon.\" She'd give off a wide smirk before indulging herself into some of the delicious menu items. \"Yes... Although it's a little scary having someone as you tour me around a massive area such as this, I'll have to place all of my fate into you. If you dare get us lost in another region, I will do everything in my power to... We'll gloss over that when we get to that point. Just don't get lost!\" She'd exclaim jokingly. It was too easy to joke around Leon. \n\nAs Leon began wolfing down on the items like an actual Lycanroc, she'd use etiquette, slicing off a single piece before pressing it to her mouth. Even though they were in a deep part of the cafe, there were still others enjoying the meal and well Leon wasn't showing any respect or concern to anyone. He was being a rude lil baby but Cynthia didn't want to do anything about it. He was cute when he ate like this, and this made Cynthia smile. She would however, pause him to rub away all the cream that was forming on his mouth and nose. \n\n\"How cute... I hope this is satisfying for you Leon.\""

"message": "He ignores the \"Pea brain\" Comment as much as he wanted to retort... His mouth was just full at the moment! \"That's an exaggeration...\" Leon mutters, his mouth still partly full, as Cynthia complained about him getting them lost in another region. \"I'm not *That* Bad in directions that I would get us halfway across the world!\" But no way is he going to bring up how he returned back to Galar when he was looking for Hop on the island. *No one speaks about that.* In the end, he was able to make it to his destination anyway, so does it really matter if they had some detours during the way? He sighs and stuff his mouth again. Gratefully, he finished chewing before talking. \"You have to tell me what you want to do first and then I'll lead the way.\" Assuming all females like clothes shopping, he suggested just that—clothes shopping! \"We can find something that'll make you more approachable,\" He scoffs, a bit salty from Cynthia's attempt at threatening him... Pffft, \"Will do anything in her power\"...\n\nHe was eyeing the desserts in front of him so it came as a surprise when Cynthia wipes his mouth. \"Mm—hey! Just tell me and I'll wipe it off myself!\" He snaps his face away from the blonde, leaning away so that she wouldn't be able to reach him. That's when he notices the people around them staring (mainly on how much the two ordered), and Leon got a bit embarrassed. \"*Cyn,* We may be young, but that doesn't mean you should treat me like a kid still! I have some standards!\" He's almost whining, not being able to help it. She knew how to get to him and it's not as pleasant. Still, he calmed down when she asked, \n\n*\"I hope this is satisfying for you, Leon.\"*\n\n\"Hm, why don't you go ahead and order the ice cream so we can hurry and get out of here.\" He'd take bite of a pumpkin cream-filled eclair, disliked it, and offer it to Cynthia."

"message": "Cynthia would be taken aback by the sudden lash of actions from Leon. She didn't expect him to be so offended by what she had done, all she was trying to do was keep his champion image from the others around him. How hard was it to receive a little wipe from his ~~older sister~~ friend? However hard it was for him, it shook Cynthia up a little, making her shrink a little into her seat. She wouldn't have loosened up if Leon didn't whine a little later. She wasn't out to get him in any kind of way, just wanting to take care of him. \"Sorry Leo, I just thought I'd save the appetite of others... If you haven't already taken them.\" She'd then receive the pumpkin cream-filled eclair from Leon which was something she didn't enjoy either. It tasted a bit too... Sweet as the pumpkin's sweetness was overpowering everything the eclair had to offer. \"Mhm... I think I'll stick to something else.\" The eclair was pushed into a corner and never touched again.\n\nShe'd begin looking at the ice cream order once more as Leon seemed to be agitated even further. If Leon did remember, he'd know how long she took for choosing a flavour. Even she knew that for herself and thus she'd come up with a solution. Instead of her choosing the flavour, she'd slide the menu across to the messy champion. \"How about you use your amazing standards to choose us an ice cream then Leo?\" Leo was a cute little nickname for him. He was quite similar to a Lion so it fit as well! \n\n\"We can leave after you choose our final desert Leo. I hope you don't disappoint me with your selection.\" After she'd ask Leon to decide, she'd wonder where she'd be taken too. Knowing Leon, it wasn't gonna be a straightforward journey, no.\n\n\"Surprise me.\""

"message": "Why did Cynthia have to apologize? She actually sounded like she felt bad and that made Leon a bit upset with *Himself.* This female champion always wants to act the older sister to everyone. He glances at the people around them who seems more or less fine, but some seems wary too. Is that because of him? Of course, since Leon is used to eating with the *Bois*, he usually just eats without a care in the world. Raihan laughing, Piers tolerating, and Allister too shy or busy marveling(?) to speak up. Heck, even Sonia didn't seem to mind ~~then again, she could probably be more a messy eater than him.~~ \"Well... Fine.\" Cynthia knows how to make him feel self-conscious. \"Here.\" He lifts his chin for Cynthia to wipe, just to make her happy.\n\nHe lets her call him Leo. It's a bit different since most called him \"Lee\", but it's nothing hurtful or embarrassing. ~~Like Shiny Butt~~. Of course, that would mean he'll just call her Cyn. Thanks to Raihan, Leon had gain some pun skills! There's plenty of jokes to make with that kind of nickname—When offered the ice cream menu, Leon spots something else. \"Challenge,\" He read. \"Ice-creme Puff Roulette. One spicy tamato ice-creme puff among Combee honey or Teddiurisa maple whipped savory ice-creme puff (depending on the number of people at your table). Who's going to be unlucky and get the 'bad' one?\" His eyes drift from the words and then to Cynthia with a smirk. \"Surprise you, huh? Then what about this?\" He raises his hand so that the waiter could come over. They have to pick a flavor between honey and maple. Knowing that the Sinnoh champion is as hopeless at deciding on an ice cream flavor as much as Leon is hopeless with directions, he picked for her. Teddiursa Maple.\n\nAfter a moment, two big ice-creme puffs were brought to their table. Inside one is the spicy, and the other one sweet. *Who's going to be the one to suffer?* \"Okay, then we'll leave after this.\" Leon motions to the pastries in front of him. \"Ladies first,\" He said in faux mannerism."

The birds were chirping, and the sky was bright, but the sun did not have the time to warm the atmosphere up just yet. He was an early bird! The kind of man that would go to bed early and wake up extremely early in the morning for various reasons, the first one being the matter of his hair... He would always spend hours trying to get it look perfect, and to get to that result he had to be extra precise and careful... Another reason is that he did not really enjoy living during the night, although it was when he most of the time had free time. As the only trial captain on his island he had a heavy schedule, but he never complained about it, this job of his had its qualities and also its flaws!\n\nToday he thought that going to a café would be one of the best idea he would have, especially when he was on a well-deserved break. For once he enjoyed spoiling himself with small things such as that, plus he heard from rumors that the service and such was amazing, so he did not see a reason to not try it out.\nOpening the door of the fancy looking shop, he peeked his head inside before completely walking in, settling down to a table nearby the window. It seemed like it was too early for other customers to be here yet... But he did not mind the silent atmosphere, in fact he liked it a lot. The sole thing that could be heard was the birds chirping outside, and the tinkling of the bell that sometimes rang whenever someone walked inside the café. The smell of coffee also added to this entire scene, it was rather relaxing, and it brought a smile on his young, seemingly flawless face.\n\nHe already made up his mind and knew what he wanted! He was not a very complicated guy. As he often mentioned '**Simple is the best*'."

Now I'm not saying he's a procrastinator, (if he had had to leave something to the last minute it would most likingly be because he'd either ***Completely*** Forgotten about it or had some sort of sickness) but he just liked to take things slow and steady. He knew full well how some people preferred to do things quickly and to rush ~~which from his own experience, often lead those sorts of people to crash right into him~~ but he was more laid back. A 'slow and steady wins the race' or a 'quality over quantity' sort of person. Sure he often got not so pleasant remarks about being nothing more than a doormat and a push-over, but that was mainly when he was younger and he'd learnt to simply ignore those kinds of comments.\n\n*Ting!*\nThe sound of a tinkling bell whipped him right out of his thoughts and he glanced over to where someone was now seated. Wow it felt like he'd been waiting behind the desk for hours! Which... He probably *Had* Been.

How delighted he was to learn they were searching for more staff! \n\nApparently, they needed more staff for an ongoing event, a latte art-making one. \n\nAt first, he was more or less happy to assist in that... Until he noticed how absurd some of the coffee ended up looking. It was this little voice in him that screamed at how disastrous some people were doing. Nonetheless, he tried to stay courteous and welcoming... *For the shop's sake.* \"Who's next?\" He looked around as his booth was empty, and spotted... A literal tree. It made him stare for a bit in slight... Judgment? Confusion? Admiration? Who knew. \"Sir, please come over.\" He called out towards the giant figure."

He's on this vacation (or basically second home), he might as well prove it with a few shots here and there. But luckily, this area in itself has this wireless thing that alert the residents for events that happen. It doesn't have to be big ones, but little ones too. So when the notification on his Rotomphone rung up, it said something about latte art. While he doesn't drink coffee religiously, he likes it. And often times he saw posts of some cute art on it.\n\nSo that's how he found himself inside, streaming the event from his Rotomphone as it flew him around like its own professional paparazzi. \"This place is really crowded, whoa!\" Raihan exclaimed as the camera roamed around the cafe. He especially grinned stupidly at the mistakes others made. How badly can they mess up? So when it was time for the Galarian to step up to the plate, he flashed a thumbs up sign and made sure to show off that canine of his in a flirtatious smile toward the screen. \"It looks like it's our turn!\"\n\n\"Hey!\" He greeted the barista, waving at him. As he neared the redhead, he seem to shrink further and further to the ground. Ah, shorties. \"I'm ready to learn, sensei. Is it cool if I call you sensei? Because I heard it means teacher and I've wanted to use it. It sounds so tradition-y, doesn't it? I've learned it from our champ but he's calls his sensei something else, I forgot—\" He was already rambling the other's ear off!"

Five minutes of Leon piling clothing onto his friend who, unbeknownst to him, hated all of it. Eventually, they ended up in a changing room, where at least dropping the clothes made sense.

"message": "Maybe Leon didn't care, his mind distracted from the words of Allister. Didn't the same thing happened the morning before? They were eating breakfast and kind of got in the mushy mood. But, it's not a bad thing to start the day with! This time, though, Leon is silent until John landed and let the two off his back. \"It's hot today,\" Leon observes and tilts his snapback over his eyes a bit to shade. \"Let's get inside quickly for the air conditioner!\" Stepping in, the cool wind greets them and Leon sighs, grateful for it. \n\nAs both entered, a camera trained on them and a screen next to it showed what they look like on TV. Leon doesn't take notice of this and points toward the men department of the store. \"It says 'men' over there!\" And even though it's clear as daylight, Leon manages to get them in... Lost in the costumes part of the store. \"Uhhh, wrong turn?\" He nervously chuckles, and turns away from Allister. This whole time, he haven't really share eye contact with the boy ~~feeling shy?~~ If Allister sees him as a big brother, he has to start acting like one!—is what his mindset is. Leon was about to backtrack to the men department but something caught his eyes! It's bright and orange—a Charizard onesie! The champ *Zooms* To the outfit, grabs it from the hanger, and holds it out in front of him. \n\n\"This is just so fantastic! Come look, come look, Allister!\" He's being rather loud, causing nearby moms and their kids to turn their heads to see what the fuss is about—only to see a grown ass man being more enthusiastic than the child he's with. \"If I was younger, I would have tried this on.\" Leon digs for something else on the hangers. \"How about this! You should try some of this on! How about a Charmander, huh? Huh?\" He holds a Charmander onesie over to Allister, eyes full of expectations."

They would walk in, get Leon something, and probably hang out and break stuff, let's just be honest. It was *Them* After all. But when the showed up, and Leon immediately headed for the costumes, Allister's interest was piqued. He reached for something along the lines of a creepy clown. (Why the hell were there Halloween costumes) But then Leon suggested something that he... Honestly would *Never* Wear.\n\"A Ch-charazard costume?\" The boy asked, completely unamused. He wanted to run away, yelling, \"YOU CAN'T MAKE MEEEE!\" Bu then settled on a better idea!... It wasn't 'You can't make me.' It was, 'You can't make me! Without anything in return.\" Allister's eyes settled on something, before he turned back to Leon with an idea.\n\"A-alright... I-I'll try on that thing... If you try on... This!\" He says, holding up a bunny costume. It was clearly meant for woman trying to impress people at costume parties with excessive amounts of leg. And he intended for the champ to wear it, if he was ever gonna go anywhere near that ugly Charizard outfit.\n\"L-let's switch.\""

It would have been cool ~~and cute~~! He's not one for cameras as much as Raihan, but he'll definitely take a picture with the two of them—\n\n*\"A-alright... I-I'll try on that thing... If you try on... This!\"*\n\nLeon wasn't expecting Allister to *Challenge* Him. The champ was looking at his phone, setting up the phone app. So when he glanced up to see such a *Demanding* Piece of wear, he yanked it down from Allister's hand. \"Wh-why were you holding something like that!\" He scans the surrounding area for people and some mothers—thanks to Leon's voice—are glaring back in distaste. Leon drags the boy to hide behind a set of other costumes. \"That's a steep price to just dress in this *Fantastic* Costume. What's wrong with it? I think it fits you! You're small and what everyone would call cute enough!...\" He dares check out the bunny costume again in his hand. \"While this isn't going to work on me at all...\" Just staring at the darn thing got the champ blushing like mad and he hides his face in his palm."

"message": "\"I-it's not fantastic!\" Allister complained. \"It's stupid lookin!\" Look, maybe Allister:Leon grew a up a huge Charizard fan or whatever, but Allister certainly didn't. He was more into... Well a lot of things, some of which weren't obvious at first. He of course liked Gengar, and Machamp was pretty cool, if not a little weak. He loved wooloos, and for some reason. (and no one knew this.) The tiny, already adorable, ghost type gym leader, who always complained about normals... L o v e d eevee! Their fluff, their cute lil faces! It was his favorite non ghost pokemon in the world! And that stung, since he saw an Eevee onesie right next to the thing Leon picked out for him. Heck, he'd seen little boys in Galar wearing something similar. \n\"Th-that's a steep price just to dress in this fantastic costume,\" Allister said, repeating Leon's words in a joking tone. \"B-besides, you're... Um... Hot or whatever, so it's perfect for you...\" He didn't mean to sound weird and stupid like that, but he did... Whoops!\n\n\"Hmph.\" Allister pouted a little, before taking the outfit and walking off. Where was he going? Dressing room? No... \"C-c'mon!\" He called, pulling Leon by the arm and dragging him off with him. They would probably be able to grab a few more things before trying all the stuff on. He finally was able to drag them to the men's section, and started looking through clothes. \"Hmm... W-what did you need again?\" Something that hopefully didn't make him look like a waling fashion disaster... Maybe it was just Alli being a stylish kid. (in his own, weird, gothic victorian way) but Leon's outfits were kind of an eyesore..."

The men side. \"Oh, so are you going to wear it?\" Apparently, though, Allister wasn't and instead asked what Leon was looking for. \"Something that'll make me look good, obviously!\" Leon answers. He grabs a blue plaid button shirt. \"How's this?\" And then red sweat shorts with white streaks down the sides. Casual *And* Flexible! Of course, going to the fitting room now with just one pair of clothes would be a waste. Time to look for more! A striped tank! And then some slacks! Oh, since they're on an island, what about sandals? And—WHOA. What about...\n\nSocks with sandals? *Perfection*. And maybe it'll be even better with those toe socks. Rainbow colored stripes. ~~Ya gotta support the gays-~~ *So amazing.*\n\nNow Leon isn't necessarily bad at fashion. More that he's bad at combos. At least, that's what he believes. He can easily put on a suit and tie if they've been put together before. \"Have you gotten something you want, Allister?\" He haven't forgotten about the promise of buying the boy whatever he want to replace the coat he had unintentionally ripped."

A stupid looking pair of shorts... Okay, not like that was out of the norm. Then he grabbed a tank top, which had stripes that DID NOT match with the rest of it! Alright, fine. Not like his normal top matched with the bottoms anyways. It couldn't get any worse, right? ...Right? And then... Socks and sandals? SOCKS AND SANDALS? Rainbow socks that didn't even match! Yeah, *Hell* No! Enough was enough. Was it bad if he just-\n\n\"N-NO!\" Allister demanded, slapping Leon in the face. Hard. He dove for the outfit and ripped it out of Leon's hand, holding it away from him so the champ would never get his hands on it again. The boy then reached to grab a pokeball off his hip, (Good think his holster fit under the frilly jacket) and ordered, \"Moon g-get out here.\" \nThe Mimikyu appeared, and immediately had the disgusting mess shoved into her face. \"E-eat this.\" Allister ordered. She nodded, and a hand reached out from under the fabric, snatched the outfit, and seemingly chewed it up. Leaving nothing behind...\n...\n\"Um...'m gonna have to pay for all that...\" Allister sighed, burying his face in his hands. He closed his eyes, but he could still see the multi colored mess whenever he thought about it. Ugh, he was frickin *Cursed* Now!\n\n\"O-okay...'m gonna be... As *Gental* As possible when I s-say...\" He sighed, wondering how to best phrase this so as not to upset Leon. \"W-worst. Fashion.

The smile he had disappeared, his lips just slightly parted. Allister even went so far as to feed the clothing to his Mimikyu and Leon could only stare in shock from it all. They really have to pay for all of that now. The boy seemed really distressed, though, and has buried his head in his hands. Leon got worried. Was it really *That* Bad. \"Uh, um, no good...?\" But it was clear when Allister mentioned it was the worse. The Galar man nervously chuckles and backs up from the boy, going for another rack of clothes. \"I'm not sure how to dress sometimes but I like to have it all.\" He picks out a polo shirt and put it against himself. \"Comfortable and casual, but also good enough to move around in.\" Oh yeah. He remembered asking Allister for help on his fashion before. \"What do you think will fit me?\"\n\nHe's willing to try anything on. Even if it's something he wouldn't prefer. Ah, well, Allister would know what's best! Leon should try harder too. Or—\"We can skip me and do you, first.\" Leon is already starting for the boy's section. \"I might have an idea of what you should wear!\" And oh boy, he sounds pretty enthusiastic with his \"Ideas.\""

That dumpster fire of an outfit hardly counted as clothes to most sensible people. \"Okay... L-leon...\" Allister started, taking a deep breath so he wouldn't start screaming at the guy. He picked up Moon, and placed her on his shoulder while he tried to explain what went wrong. \"Y-you need help. 'M not t-trying to be mean,\" He gently said looking away. \"B-but... You k-kind of created... The worst thing ever...\" He shuddered. And Moon's hand reached out from under her hood, stroking Allister's face as she said, *\"There there. It's gone now.\"*\n\n\"Mkay... Right. S-so... First of all. *None* Of it matched.\" He explained. \"Y-you can't wear seven different b-bright colors... Doesn' work like that.\" He simply said. The gym leader looked around the store for a moment, trying to gather his thoughts, before he settled on something. It wasn't... Anything like what he would wear, but it was probably the best they were gonna find here. He pulled a dark red leather jacket, black jeans, and a purposely worn black shirt of the rack. \"Mmm... T-try this. All the colors are the same. Not too many patterns.\" He held out the clothes, which, no, Allister didn't check the sizes, but they would have to hope for the best.\n\n*\"I might have an idea of what you should wear!\"*\n\"A-absolutely n-...Wait.\" Allister tipped his head, thinking of what he could do to save Leon's soul... \"Yes...

I'll make sure to think really hard on it!\" In the boys section, Leon skimmed through the wears... Crud. They all look the same to the champion's eyes! Yeah, he saw what kind of clothes Allister has back in his room but he's not sure if he'll be good at pairing! Okay... Think. Not a lot of bright colors or patterns. After canceling all that out, it was easier for Leon to decide!\n\nGlancing at Allister from the side, he starts getting the \"Goods\". A plain black shirt with a tacky wording of \"COOL DUDE\" In big white letters at the front. Nice. And a dark long jacket with a fur hood! It looks epic to Leon's eyes. Finally, black pants. And what's good without a matching cap to accompany it all? There! Nothing that stands out too much, mainly one color, and a theme. *Hip.* Is Allister going to be proud? He drops off the clothes in the shorter boy's arms. \"Is that style or what? Let's get change then!\" Leon genuinely hopes that Allister tries it out just as he's about to try out this fashion.\n\nThe champ goes into a changing room before Allister could voice any concern. When he re-emerge from within—DAMN. Leon's got to admit, he looks mighty' *Slick*. Getting full of himself once more, he would swipe some sunglasses from a display and put them off. And of course, his beloved snapback is still on. He stands by a mirror closeby and fixes his jacket. \"Whoa, you know your stuff! I feel like a new person.\" Would this be something he should wear for today And funnily enough, everything fits ~~besides his chest area being a bit tight from the worn black shirt—he'll find a better size~~. \"Ah!\" He mustn't forget the most important piece.

But he didn't really complain with what he had picked out. He reached out his arms and had a bunch of things dropped in them. A coat, a shirt that he wouldn't really wear and some pants that were... Actually really good! He was going to have some clashing time periods, since Leon didn't exactly pick out shoes... But the boy could live with it.\nAllister shrugged, nodding a little as he followed Leon to the dressing room. The man was looking like a whole different person now. More sleek and trimmed, without all the unnecessary stuff. And yeah, he put the cape back on, but the kid didn't mind. ~~Maybe he just loved snuggle the fluffy cape, don't judge!~~\nAllister tried the outfit Leon picked out for him, and well... Sizing is... Mildly important... As he found that everything, even the shirt was falling off of him. Well, that wasn't good. \"Um... Leon?\" Allister questioned, tapping the champion on the arm. He held out his hand and the problem was immediately obvious, since the sleeve of the coat covered his entire hand, and the back went all the way down to the floor.\nIt was... Admittedly cute, seeing the little gym leader buried in a pile of fabric with the hat sticking out. Since the fur collar covered his face, only the top of his mask, just above the eyes was visible.\n\"Um...

Not that he was gonna wear it or anything. \"Hmm...\" He looked past the t shirts, and found something else that caught his eye, and oh boy! Did he want it.

When he went the full circle, he stops in front of Allister and kneel down close to the boy. *Too close.*\n\n*\"What's your name, huh?\"* He dares reach forward and rustles Allister's hair. *\"I'm here looking for some good models to show off our brands. I own a company with many departments, see, and we just opened up our beauty branch. How would you like to pose for it, huh? Hm?\"* He grabs a business card from his breast pocket and practically shoves it in Allister's hand. Leon wasn't really sure what was going on, so he watched. Is this an authority pretending to be some weird photographer?\n\n\"That's great! He's really good at putting together outfits. He'll consider it,\" Leon answers for Allister.

He was like a model, with how perfectly groomed he was, how neatly pressed his clothes were, and how white his teeth were when he smiled. It was... It was unnatural.\nHe walked around them, looking them up and down, head to toe, before stopping in fron of Allister, and his smile (somehow) widened.

Not wanting the boy to be creeped out, he lead him to the costumes for Pokémon section. \"Have you ever been interested in getting something for Arcana?\" Leon asked absentmindedly.

Leon only assumes it's an authority but isn't really sure. He summons Charizard out who knocked over some clothes from his wingspan. \"Hey, buddy, lead us to the front.\"\n\nCharizard could sense the tension and started leading the two out. It's as if the creepy guy knew his place then. They were able to go to the front and pay. Ah, as hot as the day is outside, they have to leave.

"message": "She had a hand to her face as Leon's short attention span was swept up by the damn clothing store a few metres from the karaoke bar. The arcade was literally right next to the clothing store but no, Leon had to get that little something for himself. Well, it wasn't too much of a big deal for Cynthia as she herself was thinking about getting some new clothes. The weather on the island was pleasant, but at times, she wished she wasn't in an all black outfit. It made her sweat quite considerably, which didn't reflect on her public image so well. She needed some new clothes! Since Leon had already disappeared deep into the building, Cynthia had no choice but to follow along, hoping to keep up with him.\n\nAfter a couple of minutes, she'd find the champion being a little child once again. He was taking off a display item... What a child. Once Cynthia was close enough, she'd give him a pat on the back before tugging on his collar, dragging him away from the display item. \"S-stop it Leo... You're embarrassing yourself!\" Was he always like this anywhere he went? Was this the youth that Cynthia craved? No, it definitely wasn't what she craved. This kind of youth was the childish youth that came from his deepest desires. \"We'll get that for you, but not from the display model...\" She'd mutter towards Leon, hoping no one would be looking their way as Cynthia dragged the Galarian champion away."

After snuggly putting it on his head, Leon turned around just in time as the blonde is within his vicinity to show her. \"How is it?\"He grab the visor of the snapback, holding it over his eyes at first before flicking it back so that it fall into place atop his cranium. The thing itself is befitting a child but who can turn down a cap designed with your *Best friend*? It's a snapback with the evolution line of Charmander. It's very simple looking, not at all stylish, but it's something Leon *Must* Get. If it's not something to be adorned, it's something to display with the many snapbacks he got back at home. \n\nWell, if he's going to act like a child, he might as well be treated as one— Much to the Galarian's dismay, he's getting dragged along by Cynthia. The headwear wasn't so snugged on his head, after all, and it fell off as soon as she pulled him from the display. \"Myself? I-\" There was indeed people staring at this, the sudden action of it startling. \"You can pick on me about being lost, Cyn, but don't ever pull a man away from his hobby.\" Leon breaks from her hold. \"I swear I'm not like this back at home. Just let me have this.\" He tries to smile to her reassuringly, but it might as well hold something mischievous. When he looked up, he noticed that they were in the woman's section of the store. \"... Right. We might as well shop since we're here.\" Crossing his arms he gives a firm nod toward the other. \"Show me watch you got, Ms. Model.\""

"message": "Big mistake from Leon. Unfortunately for Leon, he didn't know how long she actually took to try on different clothes. Well, this the same for almost every girl who wanted new clothing, spending more time than others would expect. The sun was still up, the time only reaching around 4pm in the afternoon as they stood currently. A little grin appeared on Cynthia's face as she quickly zoomed around the female clothing area. Cynthia would've picked out a couple of outfits for herself, choosing anything that looked nice and would've fit well on her body composition. Unlike Leon, who's eyes were on childish tastes, Cynthia carefully selected clothing that would've looked well on her.\n\nIt would've taken an awfully long time before Cynthia actually left the dressing rooms to face Leon. Unlike Leon's Pokemon attire selection, Cynthia had gone with something more casual, albeit the same black colour scheme. She had already decided black was her go to colour, complimenting her golden hair colour very well. Sporting a brand new outfit, she stepped out into the clothing area once more to see the Galarian champion. If Leon was anything like before, he'd be the one paying for these as well. He better have a lot of cash cause these clothing that Cynthia chose were not very cheap at all. Going from a very warm and comfortable attire, she had changed to a much more lighter clothing. She also changed her shoes, opting for flat shoes instead of the high heels that she always wore. \"Well Leo~? How do I look?\" She'd give a little spin around, showing Leon her new clothes."

Frankly, the air conditioning inside the building felt amazing, since she had been sweltering since she got here. She had already taken off her coat, but she was still pretty warm, even now.

She'd actually leave most of it to Anvi; if there was one thing Irsia wasn't confident in, it was cooking. \nShe'd be in charge of getting the bottled and packaged ingredients even though there weren't a lot of them. As she went up and down the aisles, the sheer quantity of... Everything there was often got her distracted! But she did notice someone who was wondering around. \n\n\"Allister, do you need any help?\" She asked when seeing the young boy. She noticed he had a basket but it wasn't being carried. Maybe it was too heavy. \n\"Here, how about we share the cart! I'm not getting too many things, so it wouldn't be a problem.\" \nShe bent down and picked up something, putting it in the main carrier of the cart. Wait... The basket of groceries was still on the floor. She looked up to Allister, now seated in the cart...\n\"Ah! Instinct!\" She laughed, putting a hand on her cheek. She was used to lifting her own children into a cart and Alli was just the right size. \"I'll get your things too.\" \nShe didn't bother taking him out; she just put the basket of items right next to him inside."

There's so much you could make with tofu. Have it extra firm and it could be like meat. Or, have it soft enough to melt in your mouth after some simmering~ Ehehe~ I'm drooling just from thinking about it!\" While trailing after the ghostie, Raihan would stop in his tracks once they catch up to Irsia. She have offered Allister help and Raihan laughs softly from how short the ghost-type gym leader is (as always). But then his chuckling would be cut off when he saw the mother figure lifts Allister into the basket instead. \"PWHAHAHA!\" When Raihan resumed laughing, it's loud. He stumbles a bit, leaning on Piers for support. \"Aww! Look at lil' Alli riding on the cart like a lil' kiddie!

It all happened so quick that he didn't manage to nab the happening scene with Rotomphone. *Dammit.* Although, Raihan got genuinely worried and broke away from Piers to dig through the cans to find the little guy.

Maybe it was for Miss Irisia, Raihan and Anvi! She smiled at Red. Still hanging onto Red like a Komala, she gazed at the selection of flowers, there was one that caught her attention. It was a bouquet of pink flowers and the pistils of it were yellow, kind of like cherry blossom. Iris remembered Cynthia talking about them, Gracidea? Gracidea was a sign of showing gratitude and often given during special occasions. It was quite expensive noting that is is from the Sinnoh region, but maybe they can split it. There was 10 in every pack and they'll give three for each of them! She pointed at the flowers and winked at Red, \"We'll split the price! But let's make sure we hide it while at it.\""

But Allister... He was so young. Piers would feel terrible if he had to grow up anything like he and Marnie did, no matter how well Marnie grew up to be. The man sighs and puts a hand over his eyes. He looks to the side and then puts a hand on Raihan's shoulder. Piers had learned to easily recognize when someone was hurting, vocal or not about it. \n\"Ya might not be her son, or even ours.

Seeing all the food around wasn't going to help."

Oh! \"Calm down, calm down, you two. Just give me a minute and I'll help you two out of this... Hairy situation.\"\nShe laughed and then shook her head \"I'm sorry, I'll really help you now. I need both of you to stay still.\" She hold the little comb in her hand; it looked like it could be for a doll or a little girl. She wondered how long she's had this, seeing that her daughter would have outgrown this already. Little by little, Irsia began brushing N's hair first, hoping that the tangled mess would be less like that once she got through most of the knots. Then, she went and did the same for Leon. It was hard since both of them had such thick hair! She knew just how much of a hassle that was. So she tried her best, Sure, green and purple hair was on the floor but it would be a lot more if they had to cut it."

She looked up and saw the two... Doing whatever they were doing. \"Oh my..\" She shoved the cookies into Grace's already full arms, which made her stumble a bit and ran over to them. \"W-What happened?\" Grace set down the bags and walked over. *\"Well this is quite the situation you two have, do you need any assistance Miss Irsia?\"* She took out a comb from her pocket, she had this mainly for Summer, because that girl had **Alot** Of hair."

I don't think we bought any candy-\" When he heard a stomach growl he turns to it just in time as Allister pulls out that huge ass knife and equipped it like a weapon at his side. \"Aww, ain't you cute, Piers? Are ya that hungry?\" He asks and nudges the guy with his hip. \"Don't worry. You'll be filled up before long. Heh, hafta eat more, alright? You're so skinny~\" He's starting to sound like a mother unconsciously. In reality, he just want people to eat his food. \"You're right. Let's get to the and start our cooking!\" Allister is back on the ground and with Raihan's height, he can't see the knife that's holstered at his hip. Stepping out, the sun glare almost made him drop the bag because he had to lift an arm to block out the rays. *\"What a long day...\"* He turns around to the others and give them a thumbs up in reassurance. \"Hey, let's make it quicker! Flygo—\" Oh geez, he feels so lame. Flygon is still hurt from the battle. Well, since it's a beautiful day. \"Uh, let's walk instead.\" He motions the others to follow."

I don't think I can stand this anymore!\" Sure enough, Irsia was there to help untangle them. It took a bit, and by the end there were bits of both their hair all over the floor, but at least it wasn't hurting as much to move. With the final bits still connected, N just ripped their heads apart, shoving both of them away from each other as he did.\n\"Finally,\" He sighed. \"Ow, I'm never going through that again...\" He brushed his hands over his sore scalp, hoping the hair would settle down and go back to looking normal. Not great, but normal.\nHe looked at Leon with a small frown, suddenly feeling bad for the way he acted. Actually, feeling really bad. He always acted too aggressive and Impulsively in public. Something Ghetsis- nevermind... He shook his head.\n\"Agh... Look, I'm sorry. It just really hurt my head, and let's never do that again, okay?\" He asked. Hopefully this was the end of their awkward relationship of hair soulmates. \"Anyways, you have your weird friends to find, and I have places to be... So I guess we should just, split up and go somewhere else?\" Even though N was headed back to the Mansion, so he'd probably end up walking alongside the others anyway. \"Where did your weird friends go?\""

Ah, the eyes probably, they were back to purple.

My apologies!\"* She looked down and adjusted her glasses on her face."

However I'd like to know how *Someone* Already has a problem with me, despite us just meeting.\" Agh, there it was. 'Snarky King of Team Plasma' was back and completely over ruling 'gentle hippie'.

Probably the first, but if the second feeling was also imposed, who was he to complain? N definitely didn't know why this girl was so mad at him, and he definitely wasn't about to let her mess with his vacation. After all, no one in the world had a snom in hell's chance of scaring N more than his own father had. \"I know people lash out with anger, and it's common.\" With a slight shrug, he decided to leave her alone. \"Anyways, pleasure to meet you Grace,\" He said, shaking her hand. \"Champion huh? That sounds quite lovely. I'm the former champion of Unova.\" Why did he say that about himself? Ugh, oh well. At least he didn't say he was the leader of an evil team or anything."

He gave her a gentle pat or two on the head, making sure she wasn't jumpy or shy around him. \"If you don't mind, may I ask you a question?\" And after a bit of back and forth with only N being understandable, he turned towards Grace with a bright smile, and a face that was positively beaming. \"Aah, I'm so happy that she enjoys having you as a trainer.

"message": "Leon only followed along with the conversation a little. Seemed like Monika and N got off on the wrong foot? He's not sure how that happened. Have they met each other before? Eccentric as N may seem, he doesn't seem like a bad guy. Lonely, awkward , a bit sharp tongued, but it's nothing Leon couldn't handle. It gives the guy spark. While the Alolans and Mr. Green Hair are having a conversation, the Galar champ decides to dip. They could've been walking buddies, but in the end, they're all going to meet at the mansion anyway. And if they're enjoying conversing together, he shouldn't bother them. He smiles to Irisia as another thanks before dipping from the group. If N's speculation is true, his colleagues would be at the mansion cooking already! No more time to waste! Buying his items, Charizard helps carry the bags in its jaws while Leon holds onto one in his arms. They'd fly toward the mansion."

Well, maybe that was a good thing, since all of their interactions had been really, really strange. He reckonded the champion was headed back to the mansion, and then started to realize how empty the grocery store had become.\n\"Aah... I see we've been sitting her for quite some time.\" N sighed, realizing they'd been here for over an hour now. \"Well, I'm with your weird champion fellow then. I'll be heading back to the Mansion. If anyone would like to join me, I suppose we can find room on Reshiram.\" He said. Said legendary dragon wasn't nearby at the moment, for it hardly fit in the store, beige taller than the roof. But if N called, it would come find him. The two were friends after all."

(He hoped xD) once outside the store, it didn't seem like there was a dragon chilling outside, but that's just because there wasn't.\n\"Reshiram!\" N called, seemingly into the middle of nowhere. But in the distance, a cry was heard followed by the clouds lighting up, and a figure descending from above. It was indeed Reshiram. White feathers dancing in the wind, and tail glowing like a burning torch. \"Ahah! There you are!\" N said, almost like greeting an old friend. Which it sort of was. He hopped on the dragon's back, giving it a few pets on the head. \"Do you think you could give some other people a ride?\" N asked. The dragon lowered its head, which meant yes.\n\"Right then.\" He turned to see the other people. \"I suppose... Hop on then...\" He looked over at Monika... \"Just be kind to Reshiram, alright.\""
