A beautiful woman awaited patiently, leaned on the railing of a fancy-looking boat. She had a warm smile on her face, and seemed to be lost in her own thoughts.
 At first glance, no one would believe it, but this Venus was... Well, a gym leader. A *Dark Type* Gym leader, no less.
 Do not let appearances fool you, this woman all in pastel colors isn't all that she seems, but that is for another day. There's plenty of time to discover things after all...
 Elizabeth Adderley, the one and only. She had arrived some time ago, yet she hadn't moved at all. She seemed to be... *Waiting for someone*.


 The waves, the sun, what a beautiful beach. She still couldn't believe she had been invited to such a place, and well... *Someone* She eagerly wished to see was around. Curious how life works.
Amy
But then... Something familiar approached her. It wasn't who Elizabeth expected, as it was... Jeremy. Jade's Weezing. She knows this Pokémonon too well and what it has been through. But Jeremy was just glad to see his old friend again.
**"It has been a long time, old friend. You haven't changed one bit, Elizabeth. As beatiful as ever."** 
The shiny, turqoise blue Weezing smiled as it levitated towards the pastel colored beauty. It was in rough shape as always, but you could tell he was a lot stronger than before.
Victor
Her blue eyes didn't move. The sudden voice didn't startle her, and even though it wasn't exactly who she expected, it was a welcomed surprise.
 "Oh, quite a flatterer." Adderley chuckled, still staring at the ocean. Nothing was wrong, the beauty of the water was simply captivating.
 "Truly a pleasure as always, dear. Apologies if this sounds rude, but..." The woman made a slight pause. "When will she be around? It gets quite tiring to just stand and wait, these heels will end me."
 It was both a serious inquiry and a joke. Elizabeth isn't an impatient person, yet it would be nice to know if she had to linger around for longer.
Amy
Almost as if on cue, Elizabeth could feel a pair of small hands on her shoulders, as she could feel the texture of Jade's black gloves. It was her... The Johto Champion. The girl went in for a hug from behind, before she smiled and uttered: "You don't have to worry about those heels being a pain any more. Great to have you back, Eli. I missed you so much." The Champion felt this holiday trip was now complete, given the one person she considers family is finally here.
Victor
"Now the only pain I have to worry about if you, my dear. How punctual of you." None of that was said with a pinch of bad intentions, simply a joke.
 "But I dare to admit I missed you too, luv. It's really been some time." Elizabeth allowed herself to be hugged, thankful for the warm touch. She's just always so cold.
Amy
"How has leading the gym been? I heard you made yourself quite the team, some even say you are the strongest among all of the gym leaders. Is it because of your looks people go easy on you?" She joked herself, but knew her friend was able to use her looks to their fullest.
Victor
"Oh, it's been quite time-consuming, yet an awful lot of fun. One could even say-"
 The woman interrupted herself to laugh, amused by her friend's comment. "Hey! I'm awfully talented and you know it!" She shot back, with a false offended voice.
 "But maybe, who knows at this point. No one really expects to see me here after all."
Amy
"Aaanyway, that aside. I should tell you one thing: there are a lot of Galar trainers here, including the Champion, Leon. So, there's gonna be plenty of battles here. Be prepared to even be challenged yourself!" She smirked with a teasing voice, as she massaged Eli's shoulders, almost as if getting her ready for a fight she may not even have.

However... Once she heard the cries in the mansion, she had to storm off. Jade knew those cries... And she knew what they were for...! No, she won't let then suffer like Jeremy did!
Victor
"I see, how... Interesting. I would rather not get challenged, this are vacations after all." The massage was a bit of a strange gesture, yet it was welcomed as well.
 As soon as Jade left unannounced, Elizabeth didn't know exactly how to react. She went back to staring at the ocean, more confused that what she cared to admit.
Troy
Lucy had fled to the beach it reminded her of home she would just sit close near the sea softly sobbing as she tried to calm down from wittnessing what was pretty much murder
Amy
The girl then returned to the beach, as she flew back on Pearl's back. Jade sat back next to Eli, almost as if nothing happened. Well, besides the new girl crying, after all.
Victor
"What exactly happened?" The crying girl alerted her, especially because she was followed by her old friend. Everything seemed so gloomy... What a bad day to arrive.
 "I am... Understandably worried. So you need me to leave, darling?"
Amy
"Let's just say... Some pretty dark events transpired in the mansion. Thankfully, it's over, but it's pretty scarring for everyone who wasn't used to it." Jade said. "There was a guy who experimented on Pokémon here, and one of the trainers had their Mimikyu suck them up into the dark void. That's the reason the girl next to us is crying, she saw it all happen despite not knowing the reason we all went after him."
Victor
Perhaps too much information, but that was alright. Really, what an... Awfully eventful day to arrive at the island. 
 "I see, and I ask once again. Do you need me to leave? Would some time alone be of any help?" Maybe the sobbing girl would most likely enjoy the peace.
Troy
Lucy's sobbing had mostly calmed down, she was now just blankly staring at the sea "W-why?" She muttered
Amy
Jade just stayed silent, as she felt it would be wrong if she spoke instead of Eli. That was especially true due to the fact that Jade was one of the people who surrounded Yorke before he was killed. A necessary evil to make sure no more Pokémon suffer...
Troy
Lucy shook her head "I-its okay" Lucy lied but she didnt want to bother anyone "I-i j-just w-want to k-know why"
Amy
"Let's just say... We have bad history with Pokémon experimentation." Jade bluntly said, scratching her head. She didn't want to get into it further.
Victor
Seeing how it affected both of the girls, Elizabeth placed her hand over Jade's head as a way to shush her. In a way, their height difference was both hilarious and adorable. They're almost like family after all. ''I see. How... Terrible.''
Troy
Lucy wanted to start yelling again, shouting how nobody had the right to take a life and that you're just as bad as most criminals at that point but she didnt say a thing she returned her gaze to the ocean in front of them
Amy
"Tch." Jade scoffed angrily. "I don't think I should be here anymore. Eli, let's leave this girl to it, okay?" She looked at her older friend.
