Victor had been passing through the airport, just out mostly for sightseeing. He looked over to the stairs to see a familiar blonde male. "Is that..." He walked over, and he was right! "Hey, Avery. You got invited here too?" He asked, grinning a little. His Appletun was, as usual, pancaking on Vic's shoulder, not at all tired but just lazy today.

Now hold on a second, that voice sounded familiar...

Avery almost wanted to turn around and get right back on the plane, but running away never solved anything. Slowly, his gaze crept towards the approaching figure, the light in his eyes instantly being snuffed out for a moment as he realized that _kid (More than that, Avery. He's kicked your ass more times that you can count. Of course he'd be invited too-)_ was approaching him. This was going to be the dojo all over again, wasn't it?

Unless... Perhaps he was dreaming? Yes, that had to be it. In reality, he was probably resting peacefully on the plane, still on his way to the island, and this was just a bad dream.

"Oh, aha, I get it. I'm just having a nightmare." Avery reached up to pinch his cheek, just to make sure, only to feel the brief sensation of pain. "H-Huh?" He pinched himself again, still feeling it.

"S-So that means..." Avery's frown deepened as he realized that perhaps he wasn't dreaming after all. "We were really both invited here? Surely someone here has to be playing a Trick on me."

"Damn. I knew I was unlikeable, but I didn't know I was *That* Unlikeable!" He said with a small laugh. "You look rough. Do you need an escort to the mansion?" Appletun looked up and smiled tiredly at Avery, making a little *Mlemph* As a sort of greeting. Victor seemed like he had grown an inch or two since he and Avery last met, making him 5' 11".

"You're just one of the last people that I expected to see. Although I suppose it makes sense that you were invited as well." It's the closest thing to a compliment that Avery will give him. 

Indeed, the gym leader looks a little worse for wear, what with his clothes slightly rumpled, hair sticking up in various directions, and the dark circles beginning to gather under his eyes. "I suppose I could allow you to show me the way, until I learn it myself." _He's too tired to bother, he just wants to go lay down as soon as possible. He gave a little wave to the Appletun as he finished going down the stairs, noting how Victor was now just a bit closer to meeting his height compared to last time. Right, he's still young, so he's still growing. He reaches for a Pokeball, holding it up. "I hope this is no trouble, Slowking's probably just looking to stretch his legs after the flight."
