Gold shrugged. "Well sure, whatever you'd like to do. I'm basically free since this is sort of a vacation for me." 

Gold looked down at his now empty plate before looking up at Gloria. "So.. Had you always wanted to be a Pokemon trainer? To be honest.. Originally all I wanted was just a companion Pokemon to have around.. So Professor Elm err.. The professor of my region gave me my Cyndaquil, but then he had me go do errands and of course I was willing to help out and... It just sort of spiraled from there." He let out a chuckle as he rested his hands in his lap. 

"Like.. This kid stole a starter pokemon from Professor Elm's lab, he also wanted me to care for this egg.. It just a weird situation that led me to go on a journey." 

He shrugged. "Don't get me wrong.. I practically idolized pokemon trainers.. Especially Red but um.. It was just not something I was expecting of myself. ... When I actually met Red and battled him, I wasn't expecting to win against him either. Actually the whole battle was weird.. He barely said a word and things were very tense.. Sometimes I wonder if he was okay back then, if he's okay now. I hope he is."

*"* I think he was really pressured sometimes... *"*
**She suddenly spoke, hearing distant music from some of the other booths as she had finished off her plate finally as she fumbled with funnel cake quietly staring at it,** *"* I remember the days when pokemon robberies and poachers were at their high... I stumbled into Plasma once and it wasn't pretty just here in Motostoke where I met Zen... And im sure he was overwhelmed with Rocket after his feet im sure of it. *"* **She sighed, team Yell after all was just Marnie's friendly loud bloke bundle, they didn't mean harm when they were supposed to, but ..** *"* Back then when I was just still with my mother, with my father always being at work I honestly wanted to be like him, all fancy in a suit n' tie, I just found it really admiriable he'd still come home all happy, nowadays the old man is sitting around and relaxing so I don't exactly got into that so once mother got me a ticket to Galar, I was under a assista- well.. Now professor's wing helping her go on field work, making small little functional pokeballs and all that stuff.. *"*
**Then she paused, suddenly remembering bumping into Hop, and well Victor two as the three of them were just kids back then, she remembered not liking boys much when she was younger but ever since that day she snuck out at night to sometimes even visit them.**
*"* But since moving in came with a small price, I was roomed with Victor, one of my friends though I remember being a bit snarky about it... I really didn't like being around others for some reason, but then I met Hop. *"*
**She averted her eyes, godamn that young cheerful boy she met back then,** *"* He was the game changer in my perspective, he even got me into little pokebattles and well- Leon.. *"*

*" I honestly don't know what I'd had to do without him... I was so brash back then... And I had a distaste for boys but it all works out over time and im sure Red is happy now too.. "*

Gold nodded thoughtfully. "Yeah that makes sense." He smiled. "I guess I kind of had a distaste for girls as a kid? But.. I grew up with my friends Kris and Lyra so I got over that pretty quickly." 

He let out a small laugh and sighed. "I miss them a lot. Lyra's often busy helping her grandparents with their daycare and Kris travels often. I've known them since diapers." He nodded as he twiddled his thumbs in his lap. 

"So! Um.. I was wondering.. Did you want to check out the ferris wheel? It's big enough that it might give us a full view of the island." He shrugged. "It's a little late for a battle tonight, but I wouldn't mind battling you tomorrow. We could meet in that clearing you mentioned."
Dolores
*"* Huh...? I wouldn't mind at all and actually to be honest this will be my first ferris wheel ride- *Not that im afraid of heights*, I was just saving that for some other time, seems now is about time I suppose.. *Haha..."*
**She let out a nervous tune of laughter before sighing through her nose at the though of it, last time she thought of going on a ferris wheel was in Wyndon before the.. Calamity of Eternatus happened...** *"* And that clearing? Sure! Besides I still have to check out my room in the Sigford mansion... I already did but I made a few mistakes (she somewhat jittered out herself finding Bede there), but enough about that, I heard the view is amazing..! *"*
***Even if it sounded more like a couple's thing,*** **She didn't seem to mind at all as she gently smiled suddenly, a warm expression overlapping the friendly snarky one she had moments ago as her eyes closed for a bit before she got up from the bench of the table, and taking not just her empty plate but his aswell before tracing her eyes over to a recycling bin next to a (eugh) normal trach can, generally throwing it away in the paper section.**

*"* And just so you know, ill consider this first try a lucky one since I finally got to meet someone I really do look up to.. That is if you don't mind..? *"* **The Eevee like girl obliviously and probably pulled off a small charm as she blinked quietly at Ethan, her small rare warm smile still painted on her lips.**

Gold blushed a bit as he got up and threw his plate in the recycling. "Haha um.. Well.. Yeah, I don't mind at all." He tried thinking up more to say but all he could come up with was. "Oh wow.. That's great.. It's too bad you haven't been on one before, they're a lot of fun." 

He hesitated for a bit before finally mustering enough courage to take her hand. "Anyways! Yeah, let's head over there." He began walking, staring straight ahead as he suddenly worried about his palm being too sweaty.
