"message": "Two days! Hehehe. Sky had managed to hide out on this island for a whole two days now without getting caught! She'd stowed away on a plane with a bag full of clothes and managed to stay out of sight since then. Since she had no room in the mansion, she'd just napped on couches while people weren't in the room. And a couple of times, she even snagged a bit of food from the kitchen. *Why* Was she here? *Why* Did sky do all of this one might ask? Well, she wasn't a champion, that's for sure. She was only seven. She wasn't an elite four, those didn't exist back in her home of Galar. And she wasn't a gym leader, no though she loved the youngest one in her region's league... The reason Sky was here, was because she was a fan.\nA fan who apparently was willing to break the law to meet her heroes, the Galar gym leaders and their champion.\n\nBuuut, until then, she had to stay alive. She was gonna get hungry eventually, whether she liked it or not, so she slipped into the grocery store, hopping to ~~steal~~ **Borrow** Some food. So far, she hadn't had a world of luck, and for the past twenty minutes, she'd kind of just parked herself under a table full of apples in the fruit section, waiting until no one was looking. What? Girl was hungry."

No, Tammy here was from Sinnoh, which already was a harsher place in terms of... Well, y'know, the sort of crimes she did. Well, at least people accepted her. She thought, anyway.\n\nWith a contented sigh, she proceeded to don her lab coat and the tank top that lie underneath, her khaki shorts on as well. She walked through the aisles, but in due time, she noticed... Something off. Slowly heading to the apples, she pretended that she was completely oblivious to the idea that absolutely anyone was around. She hummed innocently, observing these apples with feign interest."

She hmphed from under the table, causing kind of a lot more noise than she should have before trying to wiggle away from there. Fine, if apples weren't gonna be an option, she would just hide in the canned goods section and steal some soup.\n\nCrawling out from under the table however, sky banged her head, causing a loud thump, and her to scream. \"OWW!\" Before rubbing her head, now really REALLY worried that she just blew her cover!"

Who would I be if I can't?\" As if he should take pride in that—\n\nAfter getting his hand sanitizer and maybe some more bandages (just in case), Leon asks Allister, \"Do you think that's it?\" He eyes the foods Allister had picked.

Beats the first time he was here, where the buy had dragged a basket across the floor like it was no one's business.\n\"Mhmm.\" He nodded, \"Th-thanks Leon.\" He was glad that the other was able to pay for everything, since stealing all of this seemed like a little too much.\n\n*\"Let's go to the natural foods section real quick!\"*\nAllister shook his head, frowning. *'Or we could just buy soup or something...'* He though.

When he finally threw the last of the boxes away, he turned towards Leon, crossing his arms. \"G-great job...\" He sighed.\n\"HEY!\" A voice screamed from somewhere else in the store. \"WHAT WAS THAT FOR!\"\n\"Agh, crumbs,\" Allister mumbled.

Uh oh. Seeing no way to get out of there, without getting through the man, the boy *Hmphed* Grabbing a can of soup. \"Hyaaa!\" He shouted, and chucked that thing! Sending if flying forward like a pro cricket player would! For about two feet, before the can smashed on the ground, exploding.\n*\"What the fuck was that for kid!\"*\n\"S-sorry!\" Allister quickly said, holding up his hands in self defense. \"I-I meant to hit you-you in the face.

Huh? He's not around! Leon manages to find their cart that had crashed with a couple of employees cleaning the mess around it. He quietly rolls the cart from them and took to an aisle to hide. He finally pulls his Rotomphone out and was deciding to text Allister when he felt a nudge at his leg. Looking down from the screen, Leon smiles as the Cursola seem to be talking to him.\n\n\"Oh Cursola! You want some candy?\" Yeah, he just asked a Pokémon if they want candy... As if that's the first priority on his mind. The Pokémon seems a bit... Urgent though, based on their body language. And if Leon knows how his Pokémon pals are, this could mean something bad. \"Wait. Where's Allister?\" He kneels down to the Pokémon, trying to comprehend. \"He run off? No? He wanted some more snacks? Not that either?\" Leon tries to think. What could have happened... That's when he thought he heard a loud *PLOP* Coming from over *There.* That's right, Allister must be going through a high speed chase or something! \"Lead the way, Cursola!\" Because even the champ knows if he trusts his instincts now, Allister could be caught!\n\nRushing through the aisles, thanks to the Pokémon's guidance, Leon was able to see as the store worker was walking off with Allister carried over their shoulder like a sack of potatoes. Luckily Leon had the cart with him all this time so... Once again, he picks up speed and rides the back of it again. \"That's kidnapping!\" He shrieks as he closed his eyes, bracing for the impact. \"I'm *Sorry*!\" He says genuinely and then BAAM! Hopefully Allister would be let go of and fall into the cart. \"I'm really sorry!\" Leon says once he opens his eyes and see the worker sprawled on the floor, groaning. Now Leon is starting to regret this whole chase. This is honestly the first time he thought that.\n\nBut now's the time to act! \"Let's go!\" He wheels them away, shooting glances back at the worker with guilt. Would it be funny to say they went to the self-checkout lane and start scanning things like normal? They just really need the items!

But dazed and wobbly, the boy managed to stand up, leaning on Leon for support.\n\"Agh, 'm alright!\" He assured him. \"B-but I think you just knocked someone out... W-we need to leave!\" And it didn't look like Leon needed to be told twice. As he pulled Allister towards the door, the two were probably gonna have to skip buying anything.

People tried to stop them, but the two were able to run past everyone and make it out of the grocery store, just like they had countless times before. Once outside, neither of them knew where to go, and it's not like they could stick around. So they picked a random direction, and ran for it."

He pulled back and waited until Raihan was finished so he could go back to eating the bottom scoop."

Not bad~\" He saw that since he ate a mouthful of it, the stack is wobbly. It's going to tip over! To balance the whole cone, Raihan had to quickly eat the ones on top to balance it, engulfing the top scoop in his mouth and swallowing. Groaning, he'd put a hand to his head as the inevitable brain freeze came on. This is partly why he hates the cold. \"Ugh, that stings...\" His hand at the cone could have dropped it if- if Piers wasn't wrapping *His* Own hand on top of his already. *\"Wow, this guy's a natural at this couple stuff,\"* He thought and gulped.

Oh no, getting three scoops stacked on each other was probably a bad idea right about now. He watched as the ice cream tilted and slid, hoping that it wouldn't splat over the floor. Though it would have been kind of funny. He blinked and is somewhat wide eyed when seeing that Raihan just ate the whole scoop in one go. He snorted a but, seeing how that turned out for him. But then again, he felt a little bad. He went over to the counter and asked for a small bowl and some spoons, then came back to Raihan. \"Maybe this'll make it a lil easier.\" \nOh... Should he... Do it? He squints as he looks at the taller man. But to really get in he had to stand on his toes.

At least, for Raihan it would. *\"No more fuckups, no more fuckups...\"* He told himself repeatedly. Once Piers came back with the bowl, he smoothly leans the cone over so that it fell in it. \"Good idea. Y'know, I usually try to finish the cone in a short amount of time. It's sloppy, but then it wouldn't melt—\" He paused when he saw Piers getting up to his face's level. Being within in each other's breathing space, Raihan hitches a breath. It's nothing new kissing, but damn, it seems like it... In *Public* That is. Maybe it's because Raihan is so aware of the publicity that he's nervous. He's mainly worried of things being made viral if the other party doesn't want it. Back to the present, he's pucker up his lips, waiting for it- when all Piers did was wipe a smear of ice cream on his face! Embarrassing!

He held the cup and spoon and then turned to the exit. \"Yeah, walkin' to the boardwalk sounds good.\" He nodded. He didn't wait for Raihan until he got out of the door, where he stood in front of the place and looked back. Once Raihan joined him outside, he gently swung his free hand.

The sun was definitely dipping since the last time they were outside. That nap really didn't take so long, did it? It's a good thing as they could enjoy the day together.

That's when he felt Raihan's hand finally take his, their fingers laced together. He glanced to Rai's face for a second and slowed his walking. *\"...Nice.\"* He thought. Ah, he almost forgot to answer Rai's question. They were nearing the boardwalk where a rollercoaster was located. His scrunched his nose up a bit; though that was usually a *No*, this was supposed to be fun! And Piers was realizing that when he made Raihan happy, he was *Sharing* It.

It was always interesting to see how they reacted when they realised his emotion comprehension problems and since he was constantly so calm no matter what they did to him, even wild Pokémon grew to like him. \n\nHis team however, they were closer than close. His Dewott had been with him from when he was a baby and each new addition made his life better, more worth living. Even with their little imperfections, it gave him more ways to understand other people's problems and other Pokémon's problems, by learning from his own.\n\n\"So... What now?

"message": "`a cold treat for a warm heart`\n\nThe young ghost trainer had been on the island for sometime now, so far she had managed to busy herself with her pokemon and the various sights that the island had to offer. She didn't often get the chance to leave her posts back in Alola and being as young as she was she rarely got the chance to travel across the regions. Seeing that invitation pop up in her letter box was a pleasant surprise to say for the least. She had a big smile on her face, the usual one she kept on. She was an odd child for sure! She was always acting like a big sister at any given opportunity. Sometimes she forgot what it was like to be able to sit down and properly enjoy time for her to be her! An ambitious kid.
\n\n
The only places she really felt like she could properly stir up trouble and mayhem was when she would lurk around the abandoned pitiful buildings off in Ula'ula island. She always tried her best! She really did. Trying her best was all she could ever imagine doing. She was sure that her dad would be up in the clouds somewhere watching her from afar. She could feel his ghost with her, her entire families ghosts standing by her side when she was alone. Maybe thats why she spent her free time alone... Without a doubt it wasn't hard for her to walk up to people and try making conversations and small talk! She did it all the time at the orphanage but even so, as much as friends and foes she could make she would always find comfort in silence.
\n_ _\n\nFor a kid without parents, she was quite optimistic. Like usual, her mimikyuu was out of its ball and was cuddled up in the safety of her arms as she finally made an entrance into the ice cream parlour. The Alola region was always hot. The sun was always shining up high in the air, some days the heat was so bad that she'd reluctantly go over to Uncle Nanus Hut knowing very well that he'd have an ice cold drink somewhere in his house. To say for the least, she really liked having sweet cold things and ice cream was the best of all. She was still a kid and sometimes she couldn't help herself! It was only natural that she'd want to come here. Ice cream was perfect for any occasion! It was great to have with friends, it was great to have when you were feeling alone, it was great to have out in the sun and for the more risky of the bunch; it was great to have out in the cold.
\n\n
She skipped up towards the counter, gently placing her ghost type pokemon on the ground before clasping her hands behind her back and subconsciously swung back and fourth atop of the balls of her feet. \"If its alright with you sir, may I please have blueberry and cream ice cream?\" She keenly asked the ice cream server, sliding over her poke coins before retrieving the cold treat moments later, the man wishing her a good day as she went off on her way again. She was about to look for a place to sit till she realised that her mimikyuu had ran off! It wasn't like the ghost typo to suddenly turn and make an exist especially without any warning so you could only imagine how panicked she must have been!
\n\nAcerola let out a quiet gasp, quickly looking back and fourth. Her mimikyuu however, had taken an interest in a certain young boy sitting isolated at the back of the parlour and had sheepishly made its why by his table. The mimikyuu looked up at the young trainer, its head curiously slopping to the side.
\n_ _\n\n\"Patches? Patches! Where did you run off to?\" The purple haired trainer muttered underneath her breath. She was sure he'd come back eventually! *Right?*"

"message": "As he ate his frozen treat, Allister yawned a bit, trying his best to stay awake. How could one simultaneously be half asleep, and enjoying ice cream? The combination didn't make any sense to him, and yet he'd somehow managed to achieve it. As he ate, sever times, a member of his team would wander out into the open to bother him. This wasn't rare for the boy, as ghost types were prone to bother people whenever food was involved. Or toys, or really anything. It was in their nature, he supposed, and it didn't bother the boy. The thing he did mind was when they talked to him, and he would reply as anyone would when a conversation sparked. That wasn't the part he disliked. The part he hated was the looks of contempt other people would give him.\n*\"Mr. Allister...\"* As that was the nickname they had all given him. Cute, though he wished they would all just go on a first name basis. And yes, he tried asking, but they never changed their ways. *\"Do you think one of these days, you'd share that ice cream with us?\"*\n\"Mmm... Y-you know the rules, Empress.\" And indeed it did, as any time they were given more freedom Allister's team would jump at the chance to cause trouble for others. He didn't hate when it happened, in fact, it brought him joy! But a possessed ice cream cone floating around to attack people was grounds for a lawsuit.\n\n*\"Mr. Allister?\"* This time, Star asked. As the cursola shuffled over, it bobbed back and forth, before reaching out for the ice cream, and was denied. \"W-why do you all love ice c-cream so much?\" Allister said. And star just looked at him, swayed some more, and then disappeared. By now, people were starting to give him weird looks, with one even trying to take a photo of him. An act Allister openly discouraged by turning around. Ask first, is it that hard?\n\nAfter a while, he was almost left alone when, you guessed it, another ghost popped out. This time, it was moon, and Allister was having none of it. *\"Mr-\"*\n\"No.\" He scooted back, giving her a cheeky grin as she tried to get a bite. Didn't work of course, but it was funny to watch. Moon gave a frustrated huff, before taking a cheap shot at his face, though the attack missed by a considerable amount. As there was a common rule in this world. People feared but respected ghost pokemon, and ghosts respected and feared Allister. \n*\"Mimikyu.\"* Moon eventually said, after a few failed tries to steal some ice cream.\n\"I-I know you're a mimikyu-\"\n*\"Mimikyu!\"* She repeated. The hand under her disguise shifted, before pointing at what she meant. Allister turned to see that, indeed there was another mimikyu. This one slightly different in color and scale than Moon. Had he seen such a thing before? No, he would remember that, but why did it look at him with such a face. \n*\"Patches? Patches! Where did you run off to?\"* He heard the voice of a girl call on the other side of the shop. Smiling, Allister reached down and lifted the mimikyu onto the table, since he wanted a better look at this thing.\n*'P-Patches? That w-what she called you?'* He wondered. A little curious, Allister gave \"Patches\" A poke on the nose, seeing how it would react. Moon, curious as well, wandered on over to see what all the buzz was about. \"...\" He gave it a shrug, as if to say, \"Don't ask me.\" And he honestly didn't know. Maybe he could coheres them into talking with his... Gift?\n\n\"H-hullo?\" Allister asked, tipping his head down to look at the ghost. \"I-is that your name? Well, i-it's nice to meet you.\" He always found it easier to talk to the dead, and this time was no exception. \"I-is the girl over their your trainer?\" Again, he got little to no actual reply, just some random noises and words, like that was any help. \"M-m'kay.\" Allister sighed a little, giving the new mimikyu a pat on the head before returning to his ice cream."

"message": "`I really only have my cute pokemon thank`\n\nThe nature of ghost pokemon where so very odd and intriguing that was for sure. She always found herself drawn to them. It was their mischievous behaviour that made her enjoy their presence. Not all ghosts were the same! Most of the pokemon on her team were quiet and kind. They were very sweet to sit around with and they never did seem to make a fuss. However she has had her few run-ins with pokemon that were very pushy and mischievous. They seemed to be playful spirits and always had to have things done their way. Sometimes she could have sworn that she could hear what the pokemon were saying. Maybe it was her just making things up but she seemed to understand her pokemon and they seemed to understand her so that would be all that she'd need.
\n\nAcerola really was like a ghost child. Despite her witchy-gremlin aesthetics, most people didn't even know she was in the room. Either she was too short, or she really wasn't there. Though she seemed to be bouncy and energetic it was hard for people to pay much attention to her. When she took Nanus place in the Alolan elite four it felt as if she just came out of nowhere. As if this jabbering child simply spawned with great talents and abilities and was there to push her way past any other challenger. It was a wonder, a wonder indeed. She wasn't sure whether she should have been proud of herself or more ashamed if anything. Out of all Alolas elite four members, she was less spoken off. They probably didn't know who she was! *Or she was just being ignored... It was probably because she was young.*
\n_ _\n\nShe wasn't hopeless when it came to socialising. For goodness sake, she reads stories and novels with all kind of wonder and magic to the kids in the orphanage. Even then she never really felt like she was there. She liked to pretend she was some good spirit that would come by and breathe hopes and dreams to saddened children! *Was she really a good spirit if she though of herself like that?* She was a kid with a dream. She was going to make as much as people as she could smile just like her dad did! Her dad would call her that when she was younger. *Surely that couldn't be so wrong right?* Gah Acerola always did try her best.
\n\nAcerolas mimikyuu was certainly different. It even seemed to be wearing a hibiscus on its ear! (Though, it was quite wilted and the colours were quite dull. The flower clearly had seen better days... Or was it part of the pokemon?). It wasn't often that it would go off and try to socialise with strangers. Patches was possibly one of the most shyest pokemon on her team but its force was impeccable! The quite ones are always the power house in battles it seemed.It let out a gentle twitter, flopping its head upright again before turning to look at the other mimikyu out of good intentions of course.
\n\nIt was only a matter of time till she locked eyes with her mimikyu which seemed to be bothering an isolated young boy. He looked her age! Maybe even younger? Her mouth formed into that iconic O-shape as she let out a gasp, awkwardly ushering forward scooping up the pokemon in her arms. \"Patches! You silly little mimikyu what did we say about wandering away? You could have gotten hurt you could have caused trouble you could have bothered someone-\" She stopped scolding the mimikyu for a moment, patches giving her a chilling lick on the cheek which made her shiver. She almost forgot to apologise! How rude of her.
\n_ _\n\nAcerola cleared her throat slightly, cuddling the pokemon close to her chest not minding the fact that it was absentmindedly licking her purple ice cream. \"Oh oh oH I am so so so sorry little mister! It isn't like patches to suddenly run off uuuu I hope he didn't bother you.\" She chirped with a sorry smile before her own two purple orbs sparkled slightly at the sight of the other boys ghost pokemon. *Could it be?* He had to be a fellow ghost trainer! \"AhHH look we both have mimikyus! I mean- I'm sure you already noticed that eeheh 'nd all but... Wow thats so cool thats super cool I haven't seen another trainer that has ghost type pokemon! Asides me of course ahah! I hope I'm not .. I'm not bothering you oh my-\" She gave him another apologetic chuckle. *She sure was quite the talker.*"

With her was her trusty companion, Dulcinea the Gardevoir. Upon first glance, the two individuals had extremely distinct reactions to the locale. Alba gave clasped her hands together, excitedly using her fabric-clad hands to clap in wonder. \"Oh, look, Dulci, this place is so quaint!\" Alba marveled at checkered floors and rounded booth tables that gave the establishment a classic look. Dulcinea, far less thrilled to be there, had a frigid air of gloom that gave the air-conditioned waves a run for their money. \"Gardevoir,\" The blue helmed creature hunched as nearby patrons walked past her. It was apparent that Dulcinea was not very fond of people. Had she her way, the parlor would be empty and lifeless.\n\nAlba secured frosty and sweet treats for herself and her partner while Dulcinea succumbed to her macabre musings of desolation and destruction. \"I got them just how you like it, alma mia,\" Alba smiled, sweetly handing her companion a scoop of chocolate ice cream with chunks of cookie dough and extra chocolate. Dulcinea floated over the treat with a thought of her mind and smile that quickly faded away as she resumed her usual train of thought.

Within that vortexing wave was a guiding beam, rushing towards its target with diligent haste.

Her semblance carried a warm smile, for, at that moment, she was savoring every droplet that Alfonsina produced.\n\nDulcinea watched with no awe, for she had seen her companion do this many times during her lifetime.

It mattered not, for the shadow-clad woman commanded her aquatic warrior to fire once more. Scald came just as it did before, whistling and twirling with macabre speed and power. Yet, something felt wrong. It was as if the move was a test instead of a genuine attack. \n\n\"Gardevoir.\" In her monotone voice, Dulcinea explained that Alfonsina was the weakest of them all. She was weak in the same sense that a young child could be.

This bit of gambit payed off as well, for not only it went straight through, it took the damage, yes, but also scored a direct hit against Dragalge, the combined powers of its thick club and Swords Dance allowing it to take the opponent down right then and there, although leaving itself with little to no HP. Fortunately, with its ability, it didn't recoil from the blitz.\n\"Hmm... Say, pretty Alba. Even without our closest allies, it seems that you hold back... At least, I feel like you are...

The Mach pokemon growled in fury, glaring up to the bat, staring down at him in a sort of cruel glee.\nZoro watched closely, gently sighing. He knew that Garchomp wasn't going to last very long, but he had hope to at least take down their flying foe.\n\"Hmph... Garchomp, don't let her get to you, c'mon! You got this, bud.\"He spoke as Garchomp soon roared once more, diving into the ground, then launching straight towards the Noivern at jet speeds, going onto another Outrage, roaring at Rocinante violently.\n\"Annnd, there he goes-\"Zoro said, chuckling some. His Garchomp was strong, yes, but it didn't always feel like listening to what he has to say, but considering results up until now, he wasn't one to complain."

"message": "An endearing laugh rose from Alba's chest and rolled forth with hypnotizing warmth in its tone. \"It appears our pokemon aren't listening to us,\" She gently swiped at the air like a playful cat. Indeed, Rocinante needed no command to strike down her enraged opponent for the moment that Garchomp had flinched another barrage of light, and blade got sent his way. Rocinante, confident as ever, roared back with dizzying glee. Her joy did not compel her to hold back. No, it moved her to send blade after blade, yearning to hear the sweet symphony of air slice and clash against her opponent. The sight of Rocinante's joy quickly became unnerving, but Alba had grown accustomed to her companion's cruel nature. To her, it was just another thing that she'd make Rocinante apologize for after the battle was over. For now, she smiled, formulating the scalding reprimand that she'd dish out after Rocinante finished the fight."

Well, it made him a tad bit uneasy, but he kept a straight face and sighed softly, returning the once raging beast back into his Pokeball before it'd hit the ground. He would then pull out another. A new addition to his team, one he wasn't quite sure about, but wanted to see what he was able to do.\n\"Yeah. But in any case... Geez, I know she's a Noivern and all, but I get some eerie vibes from her... Ah, either way.\"He chuckled, tossing the pokeball up, then chucking it forwards.\"You're up, Krookodile, show me what you can do!!!\"He spoke out, the ball popping open and arcing back to the champion's hand. Out the glow, was a Krookodile, who crossed his arms and let out a hearty, growl-like laugh. For Arceus knows what reason, he wore a crown made of flimsy cardboard, confidence shining through his being. Zoro chuckled a bit nervously, but he soon would point to Rocinante, still a friendly smile to his face.\"Alright my friend, see that Noivern up there? Now is the time to prove your strength, go!\"He spoke out... But the croc didn't pay much attention, just pulling a pose of glory. It seems that Krookodile was more into itself more than anything at the moment."

Rocinante didn't care for strolls through memory lane. In fact, she cared very little about whatever was going down below. \"Noivern,\" She called out with a mighty roar as she sent a single yet critical blade of air towards her boasting foe. Rocinante's actions snapped Alba out of her nostalgic state. Yet, for her efforts, Rocinante received a scalding look that triggered a nervous gulp."

Well, I can assume that they're quite a delight, pretty Alba!\"Zoro spoke, chuckling some before he would refocus and watch the battle.\nKrookodile would have boasted a whole lot more, if not for getting hit by Rocinante's blade of winds. This caused him to topple over, but surprisingly enough, back right back up, growling. It would retaliate, but then it noticed something; Its crown had been knocked off and torn from the attack. This caused it to get a *Slight* Bit mad at the Noivern, shouting to her in a bit of a fit. It seemed almost pitiful, but; Soon enough, in retaliation, Krookodile sent several sharpened rocks directly at the Noivern using Stone Edge, as to take her out the skies in one surprisingly powerful blow."

With a striking edge made of stone, the attack cleaved through the wyvern's form, launching it to great heights with excessive force. Rocinante fell to the ground as quickly as she had risen through the air. Her arrival became decorated with a cloud of dust and dirt that blanketed her resting place like a well-made bed. Yet, Rocinante had a final act up her sleeve. The draconic creature rose from the gravel, giving out a chuckle that one could describe as a ' comically breathless laugh that acknowledged its own folly.' Alba's inherent look of motherly rage melted into a smile, one that acknowledges how she'd love her companions even in their worst showings. Returning Rocinante to her place of rest, Alba summoned forth her final combatant. Out from the cascading light emerged a Weavile striking a confident pose that had her resting her hands on her hips. \"Weavile,\" The creature politely greeted her opponent with a smile, a wink, and an old-fashioned wave. \"I have many children, actually.\" She accompanied her words with a cryptic wink of her eye, \"A school's worth of them, in fact.\" Alba was alluding to her role as a headmistress, but her 'no boasting' policy compelled her to say nothing of her trainer status in any outright manner. \"Now then,\" She refocused her stance, striking a commanding and powerful pose. The pose itself became accentuated by an extended hand and a barely visible open palm hidden within the draconic-like maw of her sleeve. \"Shall we proceed, dear Zoro?\""

You must have plenty of wisdom to share with them! Maybe I can share some of my own, as well, if given the chance!\"Zoro spoke out, then soon enough took on a bit more of a serious expression, staring at Alba as if glaring into her very soul, holding his arm out towards the two, more of an intimidating gaze rather than a friendly smile and carefree demeanor. A powerful pose to meet yet another, despite this being more of a friendly spar for some ice cream rather than a championship battle.\n\"We shall, darling Alba. Krookodile, go!\"\nHe spoke out, Krookodile, this time, not taking any chance and soon trying to use Stone Edge once more to attempt to strike Weavile down.\n\nMeanwhile, Meteor had the cone the two trainers were on about for- Due to not really paying attention, he just- ate it. He was hungry since they were taking too long, so may as well eat it since it was melting near his *Natural heat*."

Perhaps in that unbending warmth, some would find a powerful, yet possibly unsettling, peace of mind. \"Ice shard,\" Alba's commands flowed past crimson doors like a swift vapor, soft and caressing. Before she could finish, Elena the Weavile found herself halfway through her attack. Before the opponent could bend stone to their will, Elena concluded the battle with a swift course of action. It appeared as if Elena had moved across the battlefield with a single step, with no damage dealt to the opponent. \"It has finished,\" Alba concluded when with sudden quickness, a myriad of blows bestowed their presence upon the opponent's body. \n\nThose with a trained eye had witnessed Elena shape various ice daggers that she promptly swung at her opponent with incredible speed. However, the quickness of her movement compelled her to run alongside the ice daggers. Elena flipped and twirled between them with tenacious dexterity, ending her artic assault with that had her kneeling behind her opponent with dagger in hand. \"Weavile,\" She spoke in unison with Alba, a fanged smirk and crimson eyes observing Zoro. It was clear then that the shards had become the blows that laid rest to Elena's adversary.\n\nMeanwhile, Dulcinea had a smirk of her own as she came to realize the futility of the battle. It did not matter to her, for she had consumed her frozen treat and care not for the trivial folly of the two trainers."

He put his hand on his head, a bit upset that he lost, but he perked up quickly enough.\"You did what you could, my friend... As far as I know, beautiful faces like yourself are often Contest trainers, but it seems I was wrong, yes?...Ah, it was a good battle, either way, darling Alba.\"\nHe chuckled a small bit, then looked to Weavile.

Alba petted Elena as well, freeing the creature from her gesture so that it could celebrate its victory. \"I actually used to be champion of Kalos,\" Her crimson eyes fell on Zoro, \"And honestly I cant remember the last time I had so much fun during a battle.\" \n\nWishing to eat the frozen treat, Alba returned Elena to her spherical slumber. Yet, Alba could'nt find the Castelia Cone that she had fought so valiantly for. \"Dulci,\" Her eyes narrowed, \"Did you eat my Castelia Cone?\" Dulcinea smiled and rejected the idea, pointing at the eternally burning monkey next to her.

How she carried so many things with no purse in sight remained a mystery. \"I must take my leave, dear Zoro,\" Alba smiled goodbye before taking a hearty bite of her backup donut. Her smile caused her eyes to narrow almost to the point of closing and, to prove further her warmth, small dimples formed at the edges of her twinkling grin. Dulcinea followed Alba, offering no goodbyes or warm felt words. With that, the two had gone off to who knows where."

Meteor would shrug, then hop off the bench and went to regroup.\nZoro would go ahead to buy himself some sweets before he and his Infernape would head off to wander the Island once more- to where?

The Galar champ had caught the two walking here and he followed right after them. \"Looks like we're the first to this party?\" Leon says when he'a close enough to speak in his indoor voice.\n\n\"Seems so—\" Raihan starts, also nodding at Allister. \"Glad ya came after all, lil' man~\" This is of course before they've gotten a room, so he doesn't know of Victor showing up before all of them."

Once the lyrics popped up on the TV, he matched his voice perfectly with the tone and notes. Seems like he knew this song really well. His voice was ultimately really good for someone his age. His demeanor completely is the opposite of his personality. He usually seemed bored, and somewhat a blank slate. But when he was on stage, he was passionate and full of energy.

Um... Whether o-or not Yorke's gonna kill me,\" He joked, remembering back to that morning.\n\"Oh, um. L-Leon? Question... Do y-you like living in Wyndon?\" Odd question, but the boy had his reasons."

"message": "\"So showering is just another way for you to think back on your day?\" Leon should probably do that, too. Allister didn't clarify what kind of thoughts, whether it be good or bad. \"I kind of feel bad... For Yorke. He died away from home?\" He had to keep his voice low so that the others wouldn't hear. Allister is the only one that knows of the travesty right now, but he bet the others would grow livid from it. \"I'm not suggesting anything when I say this, but that room would be a good place to hold a courage test one day... Or they should completely destroy it. Amelia was there. I'm not sure why she haven't done anything to keep it from the guests.\" Weird.\n\n\"Wyndon is a terrific place! It's full of excitement and energy! Even the air is always buzzing with life!\" Leon's mood seem to be lifting as he recalls his living place. \"That kind of energy always hypes you up for a battle so I love it!\" He spreads his arms out as he's explaining. \"You'd love it! But.\" He smiles warmly at Allister. \"Postwick is pretty nice, too.\" Thinking back to it, the champ needs to visit home more often. He misses his mum, and his baby brother! Well, he's on this island so he'll have to see him more later! \"How about Stow-on-Side? It seems hot so I'm surprised your dark outfit doesn't bake you.\" He reaches forward and lifts the sleeve of Allister's uniform."

Why would the owner of the island let something that dangerous just stick around, if she cared about her guests (or at least cared about the idea of them) so much. He shrugged. The young gym leader finished off the rest of his drink as he listened to Leon talk about Wyndon. It was kind of like the champion's new home, and if you didn't know him, it was hard to believe he was from a small town on the edge of the region. But Allister highly doubted he would like it there. Too much noise, too many people and pointless things to do. But Leon did bring up a good question.\n\n\"Well,\" Allister started. He yanked his arm away with little grumble. \"I-It's not so bad...\" He shrugged. \"I f-find things to do. Don't a-actually get burnt that often cause 'm inside or in the shade.\" It was a pretty common sight in his town to see Allister just chilling under a porch or in a nook, with a cold drink. Lots of people probably wondered if he was okay, but he was. \"Mmm... I-I don' think my trainers see it the same way,\" He admitted with a snort. \"Surprised th-they don' complain more, but I guess 'm their boss... Wow...\" Allister paused, taking a moment to think that over. \"'m their boss... Huh, m-must be nice not having trainer to deal with, huh?\""

Actually, that raised a hypothetical question to him. \"Hey, what if... You became champion?\" He says this a bit more curtly ~~still suffering from salt of their precious battle~~. \"I'm not sure about gym leaders but you guys don't need to have the same typing all the time, right? But you're still connected to one anyway?\" For example, Raihan. His rival is the supposed \"Dragon-type gym leader\" But only half of his team is even that type! \"I'm not sure what gym type I would stand in for...

'M just a bit... *Too* Partial to ghosts, I s'pose,\" He admitted. Leon always struck him as a dragon trainer, even though Charizard wasn't even a dragon. For some reason, Allister still didn't understand it, but for some reason. \"Y-you'd be a dragon type leader. B-but tha's just my opinion. Hmm... S-sometimes I consider g-getting something dark or fairy type. H-helps with that weakness.\" For a while, Allister had considered getting an espeon, or a sylveon, \"B-but then I couldn' talk to it.

Some, he wonders how they make it up there and he *Hopes* It's not because someone felt bad for them and allow them through. *Cough cough*. \"Dragapult is my only dragon-type—oh!\" He gets closer to Allister, clasping onto the kid's arm as an interesting idea pops in his head. \"What if, if I was a steel-type gym leader? I was thinking I should wear a knight's armour while carrying around Aegislash. It'll be—\" He places his hands on his hips and start guffawing. \"It'll be the coolest thing! Don't you think?

So cheesy, but Raihan doesn't hate it~ When it's time for them to sing, Raihan was given the girl part. Huh? Unfair! If anything, Piers should've gotten the girl part! He's the one who's mostly like the girl—but there's no backtrack as the song starts and Raihan has to take it. \n\nGirl part or not, they were singing together! And that's the best feeling. Raihan leans toward Piers, giving it all he got. And no, not like a screaming kind of \"All he got\" But a \"Smooth, caring\" All he got.\n\n\"If you need me, call me no matter where you are~♪ \nNo matter how far, don't worry, baby~♪ \nJust call my name, I'll be there in a hurry~♪ \nYou don't have to worry~♪ \"\n\nAnd then when the chorus, hit, Raihan melodiously sang from his heart like the dork he is. \n\n\" 'Cause baby there ain't no mountain high enough~♪ \nAin't not valley low enough~♪ \nAin't no river wide enough~♪ \nTo keep me from getting to you, babe~♪ \"\n\nOh, it felt good!

The others seem to be really getting into it too, singing along with the chorus. Except a certain someone. Unlike Piers, the taller male doesn't stop himself from staring at the other. Why should he?When it was all over, Raihan lets out a sigh of relief, pulls his lover into a one arm hug, and kisses his temple. Were they supposed to announce it? Who cares at this point.

He really *Was* More lively when it came to something with singing. \n\nHe wasn't familiar with the song and that didn't stop him from trying to hum along. He looked at the lyrics that showed up. Ah, this... Really made sense for the boy. He really had a voice on him! The way he and the song were working *Together* Was really something. Maybe one day Alli would agree to do a concert with him, maybe in Spikemuth. His movements reminded him of the time he was in the plaza, too. \"Kid's got a lot of stuff goin' for him. He just needs a gram of confidence and he'd really be a shining star,\" He said aloud. He doubted anyone could hear him over Alli's singing and the song. \n\nWas the song really over? Songs weren't actually that long, and yet they're like a rollercoaster and a half. Especially when the singing was *Sublime.* Seeing both Rai and Lee give him so much applause at the end was heartwarming. He wasn't great at giving compliments like that but he wanted to make sure Alli knew what he thought. He got a glimpse of the *Good stuff.* He made his way over to it and nudged Alli as he did so. \"You're the first on my list on featured singers.\" It wasn't a suggestion but a statement. \n\"Aight, kid times are over. Time to get serious.\" He swipes one of the beers and doesn't hesitate to open it. \"Ya know Lee, if ya drink a couple of these your singin's gonna be better to *All* Of us.\" He wasn't sure if he should jab at him right now, but he did so anyway. Lee knew not to take it too seriously, right? \"Someone better answer before I do, You lot know if I get the mic I ain't givin' it up so easily.\""

Leon and Raihan lifted him up, outright carrying him back to the group! He would have struggled or bit someone to get away, but right now, was just thirsty and wanted to get a moment to get over himself. He was placed down with the rest of the adults as they all gathered for what looked to be alcohol. And a tired Allister leaned into Leon, wrapping the champion's cape around his shoulder as he had done several times before.\n\n\"Show off!\" Nessa teases, though not at all upset, when Allister sang his heart out, seemingly giving them all the most emotional and possibly best performance they had so far. It was either that, or the duet, she really couldn't choose. \"Alright, yeah yeah,\" She chuckled. \"Way to put the three of us to shame, or whatever.

It seems they could find any song as there was a video for it online. \n\"I ain't completely sure what this song's talkin' bout but just enjoy my voice, aight?\" \n\nHe was talking to both Nessa and Raihan!

His foot was tapping to the beat and the guitars.\n\nHis mouth opened as the lyrics began, with his voice being... Surprisingly soft! He might not know many word in Japanese, but he sure did put his heart into it. He held that soft tone, like he was whispering sweet nothings into the microphone. He moved his body with every part that was filled with emotion, sometimes clutching his chest as he continued to serenade the room. Whenever a higher part came through, he'd throw his head back a bit, enough to make it obvious his hair was moving with him. Even with the small part that was fast paced, Piers kept up with it. He had to take a short pause (the alcohol made it a little harder to hold notes) but he was back into it.

Gone? He must have run off again, probably thinking he should get out of dodge soon. But how dare he run off alone!

Besides, he didn't...*Really* Think he could just run off and that would be the end? Heh, no way. \n\"More trouble?\"\n\"Agh!\" Allister yelped, backing up, as Nessa looked at him with a smile. \"D-don' make me stay...\"\n\"Nah, you two are having fun,\" She chuckled. \"I just came to give you this back.\" She held out his mask, and the boy took it, nodding gratefully. \"Now you and Lee have fun, alright? I'm off to keep those two out of trouble.\" Nessa gave him a wave before heading back inside.\n\nBy the time he caught up to him, Leon was wandering through the dark on his way to... Nowhere.

He was pretty close, closer than he was when Lee and Alli were still here. Alli already knew about the two, so by elimination, there was still something awkward about it when it came to being around the champ. Lee wasn't in a good mood anyway, so maybe that contributed to it. \n\nNaturally he'd let Rai do all the talking. He was sure he wanted to do it anyway.

He gulps and his heart race. ~~It seems like he really got traumatized from back then.~~\n\n\"You... Don't laugh,\" He says and starts selecting something. A song he can sing with the strength of his voice—not too high, something that his voice could easily meld to. *\"Here we go!\"* He thought and dramatically turned around while throwing off his cape. He starts singing.\n\n\n\nSurprisingly his voice didn't crack. But like Cynthia, he's a plain joe at it nonetheless. He seemed a bit angry (or was he so into it?) that his breathing wasn't right at some parts. In the end, he was able to bear through it anyway. His voice definitely strong at the parts when needed... Only to be stuck choking over his breathing from how hard he sang out. When the song ended, Leon is hyperventilating, sweat rolling from his forehead from how intense it was. It takes a moment for him... Before embarrassment took its toll."

"message": "Whilst Leon was busy singing his shower tunes out of his vocals, Cynthia was busy rolling through the menu with all the snacks. There was just so many! Enough to rival the cafe that they were previously at. Although it seemed most of Cynthia's attention was stolen by the mountainous amounts of food items, it was a feint move. Her attention was poured onto Leon's singing and how well he was doing. Well, it was a longshot to say he was doing well, but he was trying his best and keeping up well and that's all that mattered. Unlike some people ~~Caitlin~~ who blew out her eardrums the time she went to karaoke, Leon was doing quite well! \n\nThe song of his choice was something to be expected of Leon. It was quite spectacular, seeing Leon try to hit all of the notes, even when the times when the song hit the points where she couldn't make out if they were saying words or just screaming into the microphone. Whatever, it was, her Leo was doing so well! She expected Leon to falter at the higher points of the notes, a voice crack would've been the best to hear as Cynthia knew she wouldn't be able to hold her laughter if he did so.\n\nCynthia didn't laugh, she only hid a little chuckle behind her scarf as Leon was pouring almost everything out into his single song. Perhaps this was a song he practiced a long time, or it was because this wasn't his first time at the karaoke bar. His singing was nothing to applaud at in front of musical judges, but in front of Cynthia, he was quite fantastic.\n\nAs Leon's song reached its final ending, Cynthia would give an applause, applauding his efforts of singing. \"That was... Quite something Leo!\" No voice cracks, a continuous string of lyrics and the voice kicking strongly whenever it called for it. There were moments which made Cynthia chuckle a fair bit, his chokings which plagued the song a little but it was all good in her ears. Once Leon was done, Cynthia held out a few tissues for him, for him to wipe his sweat away. \"Well done Leo!\""

Here they are, enclosed in a room together, where the Sinnoh champion could pull out all her snark and no one will see her for who she is. Yet, the female have chosen to take care of him. It makes him smile within his heavy breathing. \"Thanks, thanks! Save the applause!\" He says cockily, letting it get to his head. He accepts the tissue when Cynthia handed him some before plopping down on the seat next to her.\n\n\"Well, I'm glad you said that, Cyn, but I already know I'm not so good.\" The fact still stung him, and he sighs through his nose. \"Luckily, a good friend of mine said I don't have to be great at everything. If I have one thing, it's enough.\" And he flashes her his usual confident smile, genuine. Who knew small encouragement could change his mood? \"Battling with my Pokémon against tough trainers... That's what I'm great at!\" After that proclamation, he peeks over Cynthia's shoulder to look at the menu with her. \"You're still hungry? Wow.\" Women these days have bigger stomachs than men. They're something to be admired for! \"Here, it's your turn.\" Leon drops the mic in the Sinnoh champ's lap. This time, it's *Him* Who's throat is slightly sore from the ~~screaming~~ singing he did.

"message": "The previous meal from the cafe wasn't really filling for Cynthia as she didn't eat all of it. Some of the items didn't meet her taste criteria, a few left with a couple of fork marks on them. The cafe's food items were also really sweet rather than savoury which also applied to her hunger. When she ate, she'd want something savoury to fill her up, rather than all the sweet sugary foods. As it appeared, the karaoke bar had a lot of savoury foods! There was definitely more than enough to fill her up here before dinner! \"Well... The cafe's food wasn't as filling as I hoped so I was choosing some food. You can choose whatever else while I sing!\" \n\nShe'd grab the microphone off Leon before selecting a song on the jukebox once more. She wanting something a little rowdy, a little more feral, something that'll stretch her away from the champion image she held. It wasn't long before \"Applaud - Lady Gaga\" Was chosen on the jukebox. Although Cynthia wasn't much for attention as she already received tonnes from the media, songs like these really hit her hard. The pace, the funky vibe, along with the lyrics. These were the lyrics that were definitely going to take her champion image away. Unlike the first song she sang, she wasn't as still as before. Slowly, as her confidence grew, so did her actions around Leon. It wouldn't just be a still standing singing anymore... She began dancing as she sang, not giving a damn what Leon thought about her anymore. She was having fun."

And he's reminded again that he needs to work it all off. What the champ wouldn't mind is anything with meat! Karaokes are crazy places. They could serve full course meals here too! Leon saw a hotdog platter and was interested in these \"Platters\" Before looking up from hearing Cynthia start her verse. Well, not without hearing the beginning cords for the song. It seems like some kind of music you'd definitely hear in a party.\n\nThe compulsiveness of it, the boldness, and the *Energy* Exuded *Crazy.* Leon leaned back in his seat for this one, wide eyed, jaw set in a straight line as he watches the other loosen herself up through the song, dancing and saying such things because of the lyrics. He... Admired her for that, too. *\"So this is how she's like?\"* It's always different to see someone who's usually composed to relax in this way. It's mentioned many times how Cynthia could be quite the sass away from the public eye. Honestly, the contrast in public personality and private is pretty cool.\n\nIt proves the image people are allowed to show the society, fitting of their position. Cynthia, usually mature, can be quite wild too. He laughs a bit from her dancing. At least the Sinnoh champ is able to let down her hair, even with him around. \"You go!\" Leon retrieves a tambourine and tries to beat it along with the music, further encouraging Cynthia to go all out. It's a music that's beyond his taste, but he can still appreciate it."

There were no cameras, no paparazzi, no audience, this was her domain of party. Only God (and Leon) could judge her now but she couldn't give a single care in the world. This was too much fun, too much for her to let go. The touch of youth was still deeply embedded in Cynthia's heart and she not about to let it fade away any time soon.\n\nAs the song began closing, Cynthia found herself out of breath. It wasn't because she was out of shape, but because of the combination of singing and dancing, using twice the stamina compared to doing just one action. During the song, she caught eye of Leon's reaction, which made her chuckle. Leon had never seen Cynthia so wild before! This must've been a brand new experience for him as well as he usually viewed her as a sassy older sister who was boring and all about books. She hoped this new experience would allow him to see a new side to her, a side that no one but he has seen.\n\nShe was definitely feeling the heat now, taking off her coat and throwing it onto the seat next to Leon. She'd closely follow in after, taking a seat next to Leon. After wiping herself with a tissue, she looked towards Leon, grinning widely. \"Heh, I hope you enjoyed my little wild side Leo~\" She'd nudge him a little, teasing him. \"Oh, right, have you selected on something to order yet?\" She'd ask right as she saw the menu laying in front of them once more."

It's good to finally see this side of her, too! He gives a sage nod at her direction. As soon as she sat down next to him, he crosses his arms and lower his head exaggeratedly. \"Yeah, you've definitely showed me,\" He replied, affirming once more with a nod. If Cynthia could let herself go, caving in to how she really is, Leon could too. \n\n\"Oh, uh, I got distracted,\" Leon admitted. His ADD rarely did him any favors, but this is one of the many times he's happy his attention was elsewhere. At least he was able to register another version of Cynthia in his mind. \"Why don't we order the whole menu like before?\" He joked and got up from his seat. The champ isn't so shy now! He might be bad still, but, he should take his own advice for this too. Just have fun! \"If not all, at least all the *Platters.* Leon searches for a song. He's honestly an oldie. Thanks to his mother, he listened a lot to it back at home. The Galarian man can be seen as boisterous, but he can be gentle too!\n\nThe song isn't too upbeat or too hard to sing. Nonetheless, Leon enjoys singing it ~~in the showers~~ because of how soft the vocals are most of the times. It's like riding over the ocean waves, the waters a bit rough at parts but otherwise smooth sailing. Romance song or not, he likes the melody of it. Down to earth, better times—"

"message": "Cynthia was quite pleasantly surprised by Leon's next choice of a song. She didn't expect such a song to be sang by a man like Leon. Wild, free and young, and this song screamed nothing of it. It was quite a pleasant change from the wild songs that she sang earlier on before which made her feel a little embarrassed. However, she quickly changed her mind about it knowing how much her younger soul wanted it. Her soul wanted to scream those songs, for as long as it stayed young. \n\nAs Leon sang on, Cynthia's eyes would've been on the menu. A few glances towards Leon here and there but she wanted to have a little snack before they moved on from the spot. Hotdogs were on a good deal and they seemed pretty good to her. Other items such as a full meal was present but it would've been a waste if they were unable to finish all of it, and Cynthia was not about to waste food. The pleasant tune of the song, blessed by Leon's voice set the environment pretty well. After selecting a couple of hot dogs, she'd place the order on the tablet device. A couple of songs and the food would be here.\n\nShe'd lean on her hand, supporting her face as she looked at the himbo. The sudden surprises, his singing was all just too much for Cynthia as she gave a little chuckle. Who knew the trainer she once knew could develop so much into who he was today? The last time they saw each other, he was a boy with his Charmander... Still cute as ever though. She gave claps as he sang."

If he continues this up (and the fact he's using his throat and not his diaphragm to sing), his throat going to be very sore by tomorrow. Better they end it with a bang, and the rest can be spent eating... Again! Cynthia's clapping along got him embarrassed slightly but he sung on, not very worried about his voice this time. Just having fun like he should be! In the end, he was huffing once more. Not as hard as before, since it was a pretty paced song. \"Hey Cynthia, Let's sing one more song,\" He said, and flipped through the selections. What would be a good song for the both of them? Leon didn't want to hold Cynthia back of her \"Pop-culture\" Energy, so no oldies.\n\nThat's right. They're going to sing a duet together. Recalling back to Raihan and Piers... He wants to have fun like his pals back then. Checking the \"Popular\" Section in the songs selection, Leon spotted *Closer.* He heard this song times before as he's out and about. It sounded good enough as he tries to remember the melody of it (but doesn't at all with the lyrics). \"Is this good enough?\" Leon points it out to Cynthia, handing the mic he has to her. He would get another one anyway. \"It's a duet. Let's at least try one!\" One again, he clenches a fist in front of him in determination, eyes glowing with expectation toward Cynthia."

She'd take a little look at the song title, something called *Closer* Or *Closet,* It was around those lines anyway. A duet? That Leon picked out? How good or bad could this possibly be? If it was anything like the songs he had chosen before, it was probably gonna be another slow, calm and mystical. Perhaps a duet needs those qualities to be a successful duet, or would Leon be surprising her with a song that's similar to her tastes when singing? It'll be a surprise and she'll only find out if she begins singing. The determination in his eyes were admirable, almost like a fire burning within them. She knew she couldn't back down either, her own determination flaring up like a Flare Blitz.\n\nThe song was pretty nice, a welcoming tone, smooth lyrics... But they meant something more than just lyrics. There was a hint of love behind them. Right as Cynthia saw through these lyrics, her eyes widened, her heart began beating faster, and a red blush grew right across her face. Thankfully, the rooms were a little dark, hiding much of it from Leon. Did he choose this song on purpose, or was it a shot in the dark. She sang through the song as best as she could, still flustered heavily by Leon's song of choice. The duet, the final song, ending on this song... There just had to be some motives behind it, there just had to be. Her heart kept on beating, faster and faster as the song continued. \"Baby pull me closer...\" Another flash of red across her face."

Although, Leon isn't so well with hip songs so much, considering he's also an awkward adult when it comes to dancing *Without practice.* Reading the lyrics on screen, he's shaky at first. It's the male's turn, so he has to take the initiative. When he sang the start, he was paying attention to singing along with the music more than the lyrics. ~~Damn, this song has the rising voice thing and Leon is having none of that.~~ Would it really matter if he messed up since it's just one other person in here?\n\nWhen the lyrics \"So baby pull me closer\" Came on, Leon went strong... Only to trail off in the middle of the chorus from realizing what it was implying. He squints at the screen, wondering what kind of song he just put himself into. But that doesn't deter the man, as he continued on. The beat isn't bad! He starts to nod his head along with it. \"We ain't ever getting older~♪\" This lyric sentence seems to resonate with Leon the most—and maybe even Cynthia since she's so set on being young. The Galar champ was having fun! A duet really is amazing! Well, aside from the *What* Song they're singing. Leon thought they were singing about traveling! ~~No, he just never fully caught the lyrics.~~\n\nAt the end of the song, the repeated lines was just \"We ain't ever getting older\" And that really felt good to say! Leon never outwardly say he wants to stay a kid, but he's been called childish enough times that anyone would assume. \"Phew! That was great!\" Leon said, smiling up to Cynthia. Yeah, there was those awkward lines but surely the Sinnoh champion could push them aside like Leon has. Besides, they would never be together in that way."

"message": "*So Leo is still oblivious...* These thoughts would run into her head as Leon continued singing through. Whenever she was to give him a small glance over, he'd be singing confidently without any setbacks. So there was no obvious motive behind the song, Leon clearly thinking that it was a good duet to sing. However, something in her mind was still screaming that Leon purposely chose this song but was this only a truth that was falsely created by her desires? What desires did she even have? Was it the desire for Leon? \n\n\"So baby pull me closer...\" The song was about love, which to be fair, most duets were anyway. Most songs these days were about suicide, drugs, money, love or a breakup which was pretty annoying to Cynthia. There wasn't any originality, unless it was gonna be about a stale piece of bread or some old path road. She decided to ignore the meaning of the lyrics, singing to her heart's contents instead. The song was very pleasant, the lyrics and the musical instruments following them. The electric techno at the end of the lyrics were a nice compliment to medium paced love song. Cynthia was also enjoying this moment, having a little duet with Leo was something she'd never imagined becoming true. \n\nThe last lines of the song really made her feel it. She didn't want to become any older than she was at the moment. Although many called her mature, all she want to do was to let loose at times. The title of champion sometimes held her back too much from the things she wanted to do. \"Woo! That was really good!\" She'd exclaim before sitting back down on the sofa. Although the song was over, the lyrics left a lingering feeling behind. What if... They did become closer... Oh so much drama would occur but... It was only a what if. \"Did you have a good time Leo?\""

Returning his Pokemon, a bead of sweat ran down his face.* \"Only three Pokemon left, I guess this is why she's called the Dragon Master,\" Red thought to himself. *Throwing his Pokeball, Snorlax stands up in a sumo wrestler stance.*"

Even if Hydreigon were to be knocked out at this time, there's always a back up plan she had in mind. The girl pointed to Snorlax, giving out her next command \"Focus blast!\" A beam of energy came out the mouth of the dragon shooting it to Snorlax."

"message": "With her weakened stated, Hydreigon was far too slow to avoid the impact of the heavy pokemon. Finally reaching their limits, Hydreigon passed out forcing Iris to return them back to their pokeball. Seeing how Snorlax handled her previous pokemon's Focus Blast, she decided nows the time to get physical. Her next pokemon she took out had dragon-like appearance with iron plates surrounding their body. The girl motioned her hands at Snorlax, \"Aggron! Earthquake!\" She decided it would be best to mess with the terrain, that way Snorlax has a harder time moving through."
