```forgot- plaza open!```

*The Galarian Ace Trainer had finally made it to the Island of Aces. She knew that she belonged there, she was too strong not to be there. Besides, by visiting the Island of Aces she could get the chance to battle off against strong opponents, perhaps even trainers stronger than her.*

*Right now, Gloria was headed to the mansion. She was happily walking around, wearing a pair of sunglasses to make her look cool, even though they worsened her vision.*

"Oi, Inteleon mate, think we gunna meet our pals in here? I hope so.", *Said Gloria, in her trademark Galarian accent and with a smile on her face.*
Angela
There was an Eiscue waddling soon enough, directly in front of Gloria- Slowly, at that.
That Eiscue belonged to the professor of the Dorimay region; Tasukii Palma, or simply Professor Palma to most.

And where was the professor, you ask? Well, she was at the plaza, playing around with her Shuckle and Absol, while her ace, her Empoleon, would be looking around for his fellow penguin.
Upon spotting Eiscue, as well as Gloria, it would rush over, sliding on his belly before standing in front of Eiscue, as to protect it from the potential threat that is Gloria.
Barbara
"Ooo, an Eiscue, ain't you a cutie?" 

*Gloria already had an Eiscue on her team and it was the cutest thing ever. A face so loveable that no could resist, a cute penguin-like body, a Great ability that always helped them out and even high enough Attack Power. What could she not love? Her own Eiscue, Mr. Penguin popped out of the Ball and waved Hello.*

"Oi, looks like you wanna join in on the fun? Course la', course!", *Said Gloria, letting out a laugh.*
Angela
Eiscue would wave and vibe, then would soon fall over upside down before it'd slide back to its trainer. Empoleon in the meanwhile, glared at Gloria, as to try and spook her.
Eventually, the Professor with the looks would head over before gently petting her Empoleon partner. She returned Eiscue to its pokeball as to not cause any more shenanigans.

"Now now, dear. I'm sure she means no harm, yes?"Palma said, smiling sweetly as she would then look to Gloria, nodding softly."...? Oooh! You have an Eiscue too, yes? A beautiful Pokemon they are! Although I do wonder how they are able to breathe in there."
Barbara
*Gloria and Eiscue would smile upon seeing this unfold in front of their eyes. Wow, it was hilarious but they had to hold back. Empoleon was kind off mean and intimidating. Thankfully, a woman, who she presumed to be Empoleon's trainer came there.*

"Hullo miss! This is Mr. Penguin, isn't he 'ovely?" *Gloria wrapped her arm around him and smiled. Eiscue happily squeaked, always happy.* 

"Mi name's Gloria, nice to meet ya'!", *Said Gloria, with a smile on her face.*
Angela
"Oh~? Well, he's very adorable- But then again, all Pokemon are, no?"The professor smiled, soon hugging her Empoleon to calm him down before she'd introduce herself.

"I'm Professor Tasukii Palma! A pleasure to meet you, Gloria, dear."Palma smiled kindly to Gloria, soon holding her hand out for a handshake.
Empoleon was still extremely cautious of Gloria, but for now, would calm down, looking about.
Barbara
*Gloria smiled, upon hearing what Professor Palma had to say. She wasn't wrong there, she wasn't wrong! All Pokémon were cute in the eyes of Gloria. Ask Victor how many times he's called his Pokémon cute. You'd be surprised!*

"Heh, you're right!", *Added Gloria, with a smile.*

*Instead of going in for the handshake, Gloria decided to do things her own way. With the spare hand, she hugged Professor Palma! Poor woman didn't know what was coming.*
Angela
"Oh?...Aww, well aren't you just the sweetest thing, Gloria, hun?"
Palma was certainly surprised, but certainly didn't mind! She would hug Gloria in return, patting her head.

In her teenage youth, Palma would receive such compliments and gestures from her peers- although its surprising she wasn't yet hitched! Either way.
"So, did you just arrive? If so, I can give you some greeting, if you'd like, dear."She said, smiling to her.
Barbara
*Gloria couldn't help but chuckle.* "The sweetest thing? Well, I can't say I disagree with that." 

*She really went with it and turns out it paid off. A compliment was always appreciated! Her whole face lit up.*

"Yuh, I'm from Galar, from Postwick! Fancy showing me around, miss Palma?" 

*Gloria placed her hands on her cardigan's pockets and looked at Alma with a smile. A tour would be really helpful.*
Angela
"I see- Well I am from a region known as Dorimay! I'd be glad to show you around, Gloria, my dear... Although if you're looking for a battle- I am unsure if there's many power spots for Dynamaxing around, although that doesn't mean battles are stale here, my dear! Either way, follow me, I'll show you what I can before headed to the mansion."

Palma smiled happily to Gloria, soon enough headed to a more open area in the plaza- Fit for a good battle or two. Empoleon followed along, waddling menacingly in front of his trainer, such as a knight would to royalty.
