Following the lights that was hailing over from this direction, Leon realized how dark it is, aside from the stars that twinkle. It's nighttime? It was almost a surprise to Leon and he tries to recall what had happened all day. And the blinking lights... Wasn't a rare Pokémon at all, rather a ship. He's slightly disappointed, lightly squeezing Charizard with his legs so that the Pokémon lands on the pier. "Sorry, buddy. It was a wild goose chase, after all-" When he spots a person leaving the ship that just pulled into the docks, he notices the luggage they're carrying. "Hey! Need help—" Wait. Looking more closely, this person is none other than- "Hop!" He calls to his little brother, one hand waving at him for his attention and another to his mouth to amplify his voice. It isn't until soon after that he hightails it over to Hop, almost running over the guy before skidding to a stop. "What are you doing here, *Baby* Brother!" It sounded more like a demand than a question.

He'd ask for help getting there but it seems everyone was about to go to bed. *He was a little sleepy, himself...* He began walking the piers. Maybe he could let out one of his pokemon. Inteleon would like being out here, wouldn't he? He heard a voice and looked over. The voice came from down the pier. "Hi! Oh, I'd like some—" His bright yellow eyes widened. He recognized that voice! He almost dropped his bags. "Lee!" He yelled back, arms frantically waving as he saw his brother. It didn't take long until the two were face to face... Literally! Hop grinned from ear to ear. What was with that tone? Hop laughed to himself as he put his hands on his hips. "What are *You* Doing here?" He tossed the question back to tease. "I'm here for research! I'm in the stages of my dissertation, but I wanted to do some more fieldwork. Plus, some rich family invited Sonia and I got an invitation too." He kept grinning, crossing his arms. He straightened his back a bit so that he could gaze down on Leon *Just* A little.

'Baby' is just a running gag at this point. His kid brother have grown since he became a professor. His retort makes Leon scoff as he also tries to size Hop *Down*, slightly shifting his eyes to meet up with Hop's golden ones. "You do know I'm champion, right? Of course they would invite me!" He couldn't help but show him brotherly love by wrapping his arms around Hop so that he's leaning over, giving him a noogie, and the bags falling off his brother's shoulders from their horsing around. "Don't tell me you forgot, huh? You didn't?" He's implying about his champion status. "Since you're here, don't work too hard, alright?" He's still in the hold, but the noogies have stopped. "I can show you to the mansion since it's late." He's speaking as if he knew his way around and haven't gotten lost many times before. "Help you settle down and- hey, have you eaten yet?" Now he's just worrying. This man's mind is everywhere tonight.
Ramon
He grinned when seeing how his gazing made Leon react. Who was the *Baby* Now? He was a bit irked, wasn't he? He laughed a little when Leon had to remind him of his champion status. "Oh, really? Gloria was pretty close, though." He would have let out another snicker. But now he was caught in his grip! Agh, his hair! "H-hey! Lee, cut it out!" He laughed, gripping his arm but not quite getting him off of him. He sighed when he was still in Lee's grip, letting his arms dangle at his sides. "Yeah, yeah, I'll take breaks when I can." Showing him to the mansion would be—wait. "Oh boy, we're gonna be here for a while." He teased again. Ah, the familiar questions of a worried big brother. "I'm fine, my stomach is still settling from the ride here." He admits, giving a half smile. "Let's just get going!" He'd grab his bags if he could reach them.

"That's good!" He releases his hold on Hop. "I'll lead the way then." He nods to Charizard as a gesture for help. The Pokémon seems worried about that "Leading the way" Thing. It goes over to help Hop carry his bags, looking rather human itself. "Oh, speaking of Gloria, I just met her too. I think the whole region might've been invited here to storm the island!" He looks around in the darkness that's only fueled with a few lights here and there. *Where did he come from again?* "This way!" He starts walking toward... Whatever direction they're heading. If they're not careful, Leon could be leading them toward the waters. The nighttime and the ocean almost melt into the same colors anyway.
