Making it back to the trail once again, Leon scours the area with his eyes even though the forest is darkened. What was so beautiful in the daylight looks so lonely and mysterious at night. Someone else could be in here with them. Hopefully it's not some creep of a strong trainer like that Yorke character again. The forest seems too still and Leon is starting worry for his Aegislash and Monika's Gengar. When he catches sight of Monika riding in on a Galarian Rapidash, he almost snaps at her. "What are you doing? I thought I told you stay put...!"
Kevin
She ignores him, and keeps looking at her watch, she knew they were nearby. When she passes Leon she grabs him and pulls him up on Rapidash. "You're hopeless with directions." She said calmly. She knew who they were dealing with, and she did not want Leon to get hurt. She slowed down a few minutes later to listen for Gengar's laughter in the shadows, maybe him and Aegislash were just pulling a little prank on them.
Charles
He wasn't expecting to get lifted off his feet and on the Galarian Rapidash so easily. His eyes are opened wide from the girl's physical strength and his expression shows a bit of confusion and concern about this. But his thoughts change when he catches how serious Monika appears. He wants to ask her what is even happening but doesn't want to disturb the silence. The female seems to be listening in the darkness keenly. Charizard is nearby, ready if anything were to ambush them.
Kevin
Finally, and thankfully, she heard Gengar's laughter and he rose out of the Shadows, with Aegislash hiding next to him, but Gengar had a note in his hands and he handed it to Monika. She read it and her eyes widened, she kept it out of Leon's sight. She didn't say a word, she just leaped off the horse and checked both Gengar and Aegislash for injuries.
Charles
Leon narrows his eyes at Monika as she jumped from the Rapidash. As she checks up on both Gengar and Aegislash, the Galar champion himself approaches his Pokémon. "What's happening?" He finally questions, his voice directed at Aegislash but is meant for Monika. His tone's not as light as it usually is since he wanted answers. If someone was following them, Leon needs to know so that he could help her out. He's always quick to swoop in when needed so the man doesn't like to be kept in the dark. He looks up to night sky and blackened trees. *Literally in the dark too.*
Kevin
She looked up at him with a smile on her face. "Nothing's wrong, they were just pulling a prank, let's just go home, it's unsafe to be here in the dark y'know." She returned Gengar and Rapidash into their Pokeballs. "It'd be faster if we took Charizard." Her cheerful voice sounded kind of forced. She didn't want to worry Leon any longer, She felt it was rude to bring him into her situations.
Charles
He stares at her for a small while, wanting to say something, *Anything* To force the words right out of her... But maybe it's best he doesn't pry *For now.* He'll have to wait until she decides to tell him herself. "Okay," He replies shortly. Jumping back on Charizard's back, he gestures for Monika to get on as well. Patting his partner's back, he would tell him to bring them back to the mansion.
Kevin
Her and Mimikyu hopped on Charizard, and she holds on tight. She rests her head on his back and closes her eyes, it's been a long day and she'd like some rest, that is, if she could even sleep back at the mansion. Mimikyu was less lively aswell, he just got on Charizard's head and sat there, letting his costume blow in the wind.
