Kenneth
Hau came in by himself, he didn't want to disturb anyone with his Pokémon, so they were in their balls in his bag. He was wondering if they made malasadas. He was also curious for what else they had. The nice aroma of the bakery made him even more curious. So yummy he could almost taste the air.
Edna
Mark kinda tiptoe in, not noticing hau. He slowly closes the door and sneaks up to the counter "Ok... So far so good... Just a little further... And we will be good"
Darren
Hau Lmao nope, Hau notices Mark and waves to him, "Alola!" He smiled and did his double wave. "Who are you?" He asked, he wanted to meet everyone here, even if that'll be tiring. "I'm Hau! I come from Alola!" He smiled.
Edna
He jumps "AHH OHH UHHH" He quickly recovers however "Hi... Uhh... I'm mark narbeth... Sinnohs champion... Nice to meet you... Uhhh... Was not expecting someone else to be here if I'm honest"
Kenneth
"Really? I plan on coming here everyday. You should always expect someone, or else a trainer could challenge you to a battle. Keep your guard up!" He laughed. He seemed relaxed. "So, are you Sinnoj's new champion, cause I thought Cynthia was." He asked.
Edna
"Well, she was defeated a bit back by someone else, and then i rose up soon after, so yeah, i am the newest champion of sinnoh. Soooooo alola huh? Heard some things about that place. You guys have that massive stuffed bear thing right?"
Kenneth
"Bewear? Yeah, there's a reason why it's called that. It'll try to hug you but it's stronger than it thinks. It kills you with a single bear hug, or just almost fatally injure you. But their pre evolution is cute!" He mentioned. "What's it like in Sinnoh?" He asked
Edna
He puts his finger up and thinks ".... Well, fair to say we have our own bewears in the form of big purple balloons. We also have nice lakes... Its peaceful, beautiful... And contests, we have good contests... And we have living venus fly traps... So all in all its pretty great"
Darren
"You mean Drfilooms? We have those near the grave sites in Alola. Kind of creepy. I did research on them and they take away children and drop them while in the air..." He seemed shaken from the idea. "And bug traps? Like Carnivine? I've heard about those. But what do you mean contest? I never heard of those."
Edna
"Oh, well, it's more about looking good than damage, the first round is using moves to combo them off the other, second round is about battling while being graceful. It's quite a site, and even better to participate in"
Kenneth
"That sounds cool! I should visit Sinnoh sometime soon!" He looked pumped up, stars in his eyes, shining brightly. "So moves that blend together sort of?" He asked. He has many questions he wants answered.
Edna
"Yeah, for example, using ice beam to create a loop de loop and then use flame wheel to go round it, or have a move like razor leaf be used with something like twister to create a swirl of leaves. It's all about beauty." He smiles. He was getting used to being around hau, or at least enough to talk about the one of the subjects he enjoyed talking about.
Kenneth
"That sounds hard... I've gotta try it!" He seems eager. "I'm not sure what I could do but Blacephalon makes fireworks! Maybe it could be a great help!" He nods to himself. "That sounds amazing. Have you participated in them before?" He asks, obviously curious.
Edna
"Yep, got a mismagius that's great at them. Weve had our fair share of wins and losses, but to be fair we did lose to some great trainers." He thinks for a sec "Wait... Blacephalon? That name sounds... Familiar but I can't put my finger on it... Hmmmmm" He shrugs "Eh, probably just another trainer mentioned it"
Kenneth
"Blacephalon is my Ultra Beast! I got it back a few months ago! We've had a really great bond. O you want to meet it?" He asks. "Blacephalon can make fireworks and can juggle its head! Oh! It can make its head explode too!" He said excitedly. "I don't know how it's still alive but it is!" He smiled.
Edna
"... You know considering the things I've seen, including a living alphabet, that's probably not the weirdest thing I've seen. Sure, why not, it can meet infe-" It's at this moment he remembered why he was here "OH SWEET MERCIFUL ARCEUS! INFERNAPE! I nearly forgot"
Kenneth
"Isn't Infernape one of the final evolutions of the Sinnoh starters? That's what I heard." He responded, "What happened?" He asked. "Did something happen???" He seemed worried. "Did you leave him in your room or something?"
Edna
"Nononono, hes fines, well, he is in my room but I want him there it's just-" He stopped "..... Actually you know what, its nothing, it's all fine. And starter?" He seems slightly confused about the term 'starter'
Kenneth
"Starter Pokémon. The ones you start your journey with! Like my Primarina. He started out as a small Popplio." He answered. "I didn't know people didn't know what a starter was!" He came off a little bit insensitive on accident, but was genuinely surprised.
Edna
"Ohhhhh, well, yeah, I guess you would say infernape was my starter, started as a chimchar of course. Yeah, dont normally hear the term, after all, any pokemon can be a trainers first in a way, so really, any pokemon can be a 'starter'. Normally I just call them my partner pokemon"
Kenneth
"Oh? Maybe it's some weird dialect thingy. We are from different regions so that's probably the case. But that is true! I'd really like to meet your Infernape soon! Why did you come down to the bakery though?" Hau asked.
Edna
He freezes "..... Its probably going to sound wierd or dumb or probably both." He looks down at the floor slightly embarrassed
Kenneth
"There's no dumb reason to be at a bakery!" He insists. "I couldn't resist coming here! You can tell me!" He promises. "I came here for some malasadas if they have any."
Edna
"Well..." He sighs "Todays the anniversary of when me and infernape first met, that in itself we usually just have a moment and move on but... This is the first anniversary since I became sinnohs champion, so I wanted to do something special, I special ordered a cake, got a present for him and my other pokemon, found some nice clothes, that sort of thing. Soooo yeah, probably a weirdo now"
Kenneth
"Don't be silly, I'd do the same thing! (I have done it before actually haha!) It's a special occasion! Do it how you want to!" He suggested. "Nothing weird about it, and I doubt your Pokémon will find it weird! Have more confidence!" He smiled, "Just know that I'm not judging, and no one here should!"
Edna
"Wow, ok, that went... A lot better than I expected." He chuckled "Yeahhhhhh, turns out becoming champion doesn't automatically solve the social awkwardness issues. Still trying to get used to people"
Kenneth
"You need to work in your confidence. You are going to have to go on a red carpet or something at one point. You're popular in Sinnoh so you need to be prepared for it!" He put his hands on his hips and shook his head.
Edna
"I'm getting better, though admittedly that incident at the gate didn't help matters. Still though, I'm getting through it one step at a time, and the rest of my team are definitely helping the best they can. It's kinda why I went to this place in the first... Place... To try and help with my, insecurities"
Kenneth
"Oh, I thought it'd be something like... Just wanting a vacation. But I'm glad you're working on those skills! Sorry for being so blunt, I didn't mean to." He apologized and did that stupid anime head scratch thing. "Hope you do get better at this though!"
