Drayden was told by his associates to take a break for once as the city and gym will be in good hands during the time of his absence. At first he wasn't sure about taking part this vacation, until they brought up Iris, playing that father card on him. His Haxorus who was as stern as him stood by his side, looking to see if there was anyone who could point out directions to this place. Drayden shook his head "No need," He said as he looked for a place to sit down. The old man, took a map from out of his pocket and squinted. The letters were far too small to read and it would be ridiculous to shove his face close only to read some letters. He reached out from his bag a pair of reading glasses and placing it on his face he proceeded to read the map. "Check in at Sigford mansion.."

Zoro and his Infernape, Meteor, had just arrived, Zoro looking about as Meteor leapt off and wandered around. The trainer yawned a bit from jetlag and had a look around, to get familiarized with the area before moving on. But he soon saw one Drayden. He was curious, mainly because of the beard, so like the good sport he is, he went over to the old man, his large length of red hair flowing behind him."Ey, excuse me, my friend!"He usually says that to strangers as to make them feel welcome around him, at least that is what he aimed for."Erm, Me and my pal just got here, and I was wondering if you knew your way around? Not that I'm bad with directions, just that I haven't been here until now."He was being polite, despite his slowly shrinking intimidating presence.
Michelle
"Indeed," He looked then glanced back down at the map. Adjusting his glasses, he neatly folded the map and placed it into his pocket. "Frankly, it is my first time here as well however I believe I know where to go." He placed the glasses back into his bag and got up from his position. "Come now I can lead the way. We simply have to move past Sigville and the mansion will be up north" Taking his suitcase he started walking, his Haxorus following along with him. "You may tag along if you feel lost."
Craig
"...Understood, thank very much, sir."Zoro soon had about the kindest smile one could ask for as he then followed Drayden."I don't think I've been to a mansion before."He said as then, his Infernape caught up and decided to ride on Haxorus' back, giggling mischeviously as it did so. "Sooooo, I'm Zoro! From Dorimay, I wouldn't be surprised if you didn't hear of me. And this cheeky campfire is my partner, Meteor."He stated, the Infernape waving before leaping onto its trainer's back.

Haxorus grumbled uncomfortably, it was like Drayden's daughter or any child on that matter who would always do the exact same on his back. He swayed around trying to get the monkey pokemon off of him, but his grip was still strong. Sighing, the dragon gave up walking with the trainers. "I see. I am pleased to make your acquaintance," He nodded. The older gentlemen paused and offered a hand to the young man. "I am Drayden from the Unova Region. I'm actually quite a busy man as I run a city and a gym, but I was told to take it easy while am here."
Craig
"Oh? Well it's nice to meet someone so busy! I'm actually Champion of the Dorimay Region, and I heard others were here, so naturally."Zoro reached out and shook Drayden's hand in a respectful manner."I came to battle if I can."He smiled. Meteor[Infernape] soon leapt off Haxorus to walk on his own, the monkey giggled and looked about.
Michelle
"It's a pleasure to meet such a proposerous trainer. My daughter is the Champion of our region, quite a prodigy if I do say so myself," He said proudly letting go of the young man's hand. "If you see her please greet her and let her know I'm here." Zoro spoke of a battle which would be quite interesting to consider sometime. "Perhaps I will settle down for a bit, airplane rides like that can take a toll for someone my age," He lightly chuckled as he continued moving his luggage.
Craig
"Your daughter?...Ah, you must mean..."Zoro was stuck in thought for a moment, then snapped his fingers."Erm,...I think her name was... Iris? No, no, wait I'm wrong, uhhhh..."He soon shrugged and helped Drayden out."Either way, I think I'll get to know some peeps before battling, eh?"He smiled kindly.
Michelle
"You're right actually," He corrected him. Drayden returned the smile but like always it was hard to tell that he was even smiling because of his beard. At least the eyes kind of gave it off. "Me too. For someone my age, I would rest and perhaps check the gym later on. It would also be great to meet more trainers like you, and of course, see if Iris is around." One suitcase that was alongside him was a light pink color with a cute ribbon in front and on the bottom it had the phases of the moon colored in yellow. It wasn't something Drayden necessarily owned, in fact it was for his daughter, knowing that she underpacked.
