Curtis
Al would examine Cynthia's face feelingan odd familiarity with her before, which was odd as he doesn't remember even meeting her before today. "Well I used to love battling, but after a while I kinda lost the spirit of battling, but now seeing all these strong trainers and their battles. I'm thinking I might start to enjoy it more" Al answers his answer being completely answer he frowns at the beginning of his answer. What Cynthia may or may not know is that He has a bit a reputation of being extremley difficult battle only few being able to beat his dragons.
Soon
Salamence hid behind her ally, as the rocks continue rushing into the strong stream. While Durladon did lessen impact, some rocks sweep at her side damaging her. Her. "Maybe," The girl tugged on Raihan's shirt to get his attention. "I can have Salamence do Earthquake to stop their flow, but if you may, please do protect once more." She looked to her partner.
Dorothy
Hau would arrive for the battle, he walked into the stadium he saw them battle and got excited. He went over to the stands and plopped down. He let his Pokémon out of their balls. "Let's watch them! Who should we cheer for??" He got really jumpy and excited. He waved towards them, "HI GUYS!" He smiled widely. "Do your best!" He cheered. He was supper excited.
Teresa
She heard a familiar voice and looked over in Hau's direction. "Oh!" She walked over and sat down next to Hau. "How have you been Hau?" Talonflame got ontop of Hau's head, happy to see the familiar face.
Dorothy
"Huh—Hey!" He laughed, "Get off my head, Talonflame!" He turned to Grace, "Him Grace! How've you been?" He asked her, hoping that Talonflame wouldn't hurt him or mess up his hair. "I've been good, still struggling with my team though. It's been forever since I've won an actual battle. But I'm pretty good! How're you?"
Teresa
She stuck her arm out and Talonflame jumped on her arm, and then on her shoulder. "I've been great..!" She smiled at him, "I know that you'll win a battle soon! You do have a whole lot of potential!"
Dorothy
"I've been training them but I can never find the right move set! I think that's kind of sad haha..." He slumped over. "Heh..." He seemed down now. He had finally gotten his mind off of losing to pretty much 3 people, it's just been too stressful. He wanted to take a vacation so he was glad he was invited. "Yeah..."
Teresa
She tilted her head and reached up to pat him on the head. "Don't feel bad!" She tried to find a way to change the topic, "Would it be alright if I see your team again?" She took her hand off of his head and put it in her lap.
Dorothy
"I've got two new members. I'm thinking of having another team for competitions and stuff." His Pokémon, who were beside him waved or did something implicated a *Hi.* His team consisted of Primarina, Noivern, Abomasnow, Blacephalon, Komala and his signature Alolan Raichu. Komala didn't wave though.
Richard
Talonflame looked over to Komala and flew over. She slightly bumped him with her wing. After a few moments she just started rolling him around the stands, and she was chasing him like he was a ball.
Dorothy
Komala was just dozing off, unphased by the rolling. She just let it happen. Hah looked over and turned back, "So what do you think? I think they're pretty much a personal, casual team because I love them a lot. But if I try making a new team for competitive stuff I'll feel guilty..."
Teresa
She put her hand on her chin and observed them for a moment. "I think it's a good team! Have you tried training daily? That helped me alot!" Talonflame eventually got bored and went back ontop of Grace's head.
Jennifer
*Cam was intently watching the battle, eyes sparkling almost like a kid who'd just seen something out of a comic book or a movie. He wasn't just watching the battle— while the fierce competition that included two prominent Dragon-type trainers and the legendary Red, along with a few Pokémon that weren't native to either of his regions, he was also staring at the crowd that had gathered as well. Leon, Blue, Cynthia, Grace, and Hau to name a few of the people he recognized. Of course he knew the island would be filled with Champions, but seeing them all so close together was amazing ~~he was so busy fanboying he didn't realize that he himself was also a Champion, something Eden was amused by.~~ Turning to his less-hyper friend in wonder, Eden just smiled back at him and continued watching the battle unfold, much less fazed by all the Champs. Cam couldn't stop looking around though, he was already getting excited and thinking about all the things that could happen.*
Dorothy
"I've trained a lot. But maybe it's the matchups maybe? Or maybe I'm too predictable..." He sighed and the. Shook his head. "I don't wanna thing about it right now... Can we drop the topic, please?"
Teresa
*'Wow... I am not doing great today..'* She gave a smile and nodded, "Sure! Have you met any nice people?" She fiddled with her gloved hands, she also took occasional glances at Monika, who seemed to not be acting like herself.
David
"Now things just got interesting," Blue leaned foward to observe them, specifically at Anvi and Red. "While they are in a tough spot, they're able to works their way around it. Hopefully they can keep it up." He than eyed at Iris and Raihan, jokingly he elbowed Leon who seemed really invested in watching "Those two are also really in sync they're almost like siblings! You think it's cause they're dragon trainers or are they actually related?" If anything though Leon seemed to look more like the girl than Raihan.
Dorothy
"Yeah, Raihan is really nice and Iris too! Red is nice, most people here on the island are nice!" He smiled, he seemed to not be so energy drained now. He seemed happier. "Anvi and I haven't had many interactions, but I'm sure he's nice. He's silent like Red too!" He nodded. "I haven't met anyone else though. I want to meet everyone on the island though and their unique teams though!"
Teresa
She smiled when she saw he was happier. "I'm sure everyone here is very nice, they were invited for a reason!" She looked over at the battle and put a hand on her chin, seeming to be deep in thought.
Dorothy
"That isn't 100% true, no matter how hard we want to believe, y'know? Some people invited here can be really nasty people and we wouldn't know that..." He watched the battle going on, "I'm sure most champions are nice, and guests too." He readjusted himself on his seat. "Aaa! Sorry I was rambling, ha!"
Teresa
She scratched the back of her neck, "Aha... It's fine..!" Of course, the thought that there could be some nasty people here put her on edge slightly, but she shook it off, she is a champion for a reason!
Jennifer
*After a while, Cam finally worked up the 'courage', per-se, to walk over to a few of the other people watching the battle that weren't named Eden. Walking over to Hau and Grace who seemed to be talking, he was really excited to be meeting some other guests, though he wasn't sure how to introduce himself. In the end, he just decided to walk up, though he was careful not to butt in to their conversation, waiting for Grace to finish.* "Hiya~!" *He was obviously really excited, grinning at the both of them.* "You two are Hau and Grace from the Alola Region, right?"
Teresa
She jumped slightly, a little bit startled by Cam, but she shook it off. "Oh! Yep! That's us!" She smiled at him and adjusted her glasses on her face.

The battle started out with Grace sweeping Monika's team at first, but, in the middle of battle, Monika's attitude changed. Once she brought out Mimikyu, it was game over for Grace. Monika was acting almost... Sadistic and kind of scary. She sweeped Grace's team with Mimikyu. Once the battle was over, she just stared at Monika in disbelief. "Darling... Is something the matter..?" She was kind of shaken up by Monika's sudden change in attitude.
Marc
She just gave her a creepy smile and walked back over to the stands. She still looked ~~ready to kill~~ kind of scary when she got back over there, she sat down next to Leon. She was shaking from Adrenaline, and from her emotional rollercoster.
Nathaniel
Raihan likes this. While Red and Anvi are more like "Combining powers", him and Iris is like a "Pop goes the Furret." They withdraw when the going gets tough and lash out as a counter. "Ya got it!" Raihan replies to Iris, flashing a thumbs-up and a toothy grin. The Protect is weakened by its first use, so Duraludon struggles to bring it up again. But it should be good enough to sustain Salamance upcoming attack.
Theresa
Since Raihan and Iris were on the other wide, there was no way to know what they were planning! Well, in Anvi's case he couldn't hear them anyway. He checks up on Lapras and Lycaroc, who seem to be determined to continue their attacks as the others are on the defense. It's likely that their next attack would be something that would shake the two off of Duraludon and Salamence. Anvi made a motion for Lycanroc and Lapras to come back, or at least try to get Lapras to come back too. Lycanroc couldn't really move; the water underneath them wouldn't fare well with him.
Soon
"Salamence!" Her Salamence turned her attention to the girl, their eyes meeting one another. She roared, as if she understood what Iris wanted her to do. The dragon dove down behind Durladon using it as a shield from the water and debris of the rocks. After reaching close enough to the surface, the weight of the dragon sends shockwaves through the ground.
David
*Knowing how much Lycanroc disliked water, Lapras drew back. (The water ice type doesn't fare well on land.) Red didn't predict that Duraludon would Protect itself while Salamence used Earthquake. He motioned Lapras to wait for Lycanroc to strike with a rock type move, that way they can compliment with a Blizzard. The impact will be stronger especially against dragon types.*
Theresa
Lycanroc stayed put. He looked around, seeing the water ripple around them. That must have meant... That had to be Earthquake! Lyncanroc knew he was safe at the moment, but he steps back and looks at the others. It seems he was temporarily unable to move from the fear of falling in. He kept peering into the water. Anvi noticed, then motioned for him that it'll be okay! He just needed to get support from one of the raised edges along Lapras' shell. Lycanroc nodded. There was still some hesitation but a long howl came from him. Once again, spiked rocks emerged and aimed for the two, now flying even faster than they did before. This meant that they became a bit smaller and lighter.
Sharon
Ooo... That was clever. Lycanroc looked pretty stuck, but Anvi had a plan, Cynthia was sure about it. (Though reading people definitely wasn't her specialty) But no way this pokemon's fight ended here.
She turned to notice Alphonse, still looking at her face. Hmm, so he must be having the same thoughts as her, a sense of familiarity perhaps? Or maybe he just liked looking at her face, wither was possible, given her status.

"Hmm," She started, in regards to his comment about battling. "I'll never understand how someone could lose the connection they had to battling, and in turn their pokemon. Maybe it's because it's something I've devoted my life as a champion too. I'm not honestly sure."
Nathaniel
A lot was hitting Duraludon's shield. The raging water still, Salamance's Earthquake, and now another dose of Lycanroc's Stone Edge! It was too much to hold for the already weakened Protect since its first and the shield disappears. Just in time as the rocks pelt and scratch Duraludon, ruining its shiny coat. Raihan would have to thank that these moves are ineffective to Duraludon, but the small damages will build up eventually. It wobbles a bit from the aftermath of the Earthquake, making it a bit woozy. Having enough of the jagged rocks, Duraludon was urged to use Breaking Swipe so that the last remaining bits would be hit off from the two.
Soon
"Can he handle another Earthquake one or will we have to shift gears?" Iris asked Raihan quickly then moved her eyes back to the field. It was strange that Lycanroc decided to keep rocks lighter this time. Just what in the world were they up to?!
David
*Now that Lycanroc launched its Stone Edge attack, Red can use Blizzard to freeze the protruding rocks. The frozen rocks would be strong enough to fall onto their opponents. He snapped at his Pokemon, Lapras locked its eyes at the Stone Edge, hitting the rocks with a frigid blizzard. As he expected, the rocks were transformed into ice chunks, collapsing from the strength of the howling winds*
