"Agh! Hey-" Allister complained, though again, couldn't bring himself to be mad, when Leon messed up his hair, and he finally lifted his head, spitting out some of the longer bits. "N-not *My* Fault I fell in!" He declared with a pout, through it looked odd with a large chunk of hair still in his face. Arcana reached over, pulling it out of the way, and smoothing his hair back down and parting it in the usual pieces. Yes, Allister taught his gengar how to style his hair for him.
*"Heh, there ya go kiddo!"* And his ghastly friend gave his head a hug, nuzzling the boy who offered a pet in return. "Mmh! Th-thank you Arcana!" He looked over at Leon, just now addressing his question. "Um... Heh... N-named him Arcana. Er this guy," He said, giving the pokemon behind him a poke, who giggled.
*"That tickles!"*
"Y'know, after Tarot cards?" He said, not sure if the champ actually knew what he was talking about. He didn't know at the time either, since he'd met the little ghastly that would become his ace a whole six years ago. Shortly after his mom had... Moved on. "I-I named 'im when I was four so... Uh, don't judge, 'kay? The name jus' kinda stuck." Huh... Damn, he'd had this guy for most of his life at this point. "You ever name Charizard?"

It was starting to get late, as the two of them had been soaking in the spring. Leon was sleepy looking, and Allister was just straight up sleepy. And enjoying the comfort of Arcana petting his hair. Agh, right... They can't stay here forever...
"Oh..." Allister tried to think for a moment, but honestly had no idea. "I think if we go back to the mansion, th-they won't think to look for us. W-we can find a room to hide in!" Which was logic that didn't *Really* Work outside of a child's imagination, but they really couldn't sleep in the hot springs.

"Tarot cards?" Leon definitely doesn't know. "Like game cards or something? I don't know, you might have to tell me." He brings his hand up to scratch his cheek while staring at the Gengar who seems to be taking quite care of Allister. Charizard is busy with its sleep to give his ~~dad~~ trainer some cuddles. Leon is *Slightly* Envious. "Arcana sounds like a cool name for something that came from a four year old!" When the conversation shifted to him Leon nodded eagerly. "Yeah! I actually named him after my favorite wrestler when I was young." It seemed too embarrassing to say, but he'd just tell Allister the nickname. "John."

Huffing—no, wait. *Yawning*, Leon's head would loll to the side toward Allister, but he picks it up before they bonk heads again. "Hiding! That sounds like fun. Let's do that then?" He starts jerking his head to the sides so that they crack. Relaxing in the hot spring really eased him up. They have to come back again later! Getting up from the water, he's be dripping before turning to help Allister up. "Let's go, Masked Boy." He winked, knowing damn well how cheesy that name is. But this day alone really brought about many things. Most of which are positive, personally to the Galarian man. It's too bad it's going to end.

Guess it's Charizard's cue to awaken. Stretching out, the beast Pokémon awakes from its slumber and saunters over the the trainers, with their clothes in its arms. Since it's turning night, the air this time, is colder. Even with the steam coming from the hot springs, they can tell it's probably going to rain more as the night settles in.

*"John?"* Allister asked, looking at Leon. "John? ...Mkay." Here he was thinking that he was bad at nicknames. Aah, but there was probably a reason behind it. "I-I'll have t' tell you 'bout them later. They're not playing cards though." C'mon, how did Leon not know about tarot cards? Oh well. Was it time for them to go? Because if he wanted to learn about the cards, they would probably have to go back to the mansion first. Oh, and it looks like they'd be sneaking around to get there.

Awe, alright... Looks like it was time for them to leave. Just as Allister had gotten comfortable in the water again, and had Arcana petting his head. "Mmm, alright-" He yawned, stretching his arms. It was cold out though, and took a *Lot* Of will to drag himself out of the warm water and get dressed. And dammit, his shorts were still gonna be soaked on the way back. "Th-thank you," He said, receiving his shirt from *John.*
Getting dressed was really easy for the freezing little boy, though getting shoes and sock on with wet feet was a pain! For now, he could ignore that he was still dripping from his legs, as long as he didn't go leaving puddles all over the mansion. He finished brushing himself down, and with Arcana buckling his mask back on his face, his normal look was complete.
"Heh," Allister giggled, giving the gengar a pat on the head, before he disappeared into the boy's shadow like before. As he walked past Leon who was *Thankfully* Getting dressed, he added, "N-never lose th't hat again... I mean it," Before gently placing a tiny hand on the champions arm. "W-we ready to go?"

They didn't really have a towel to dry themselves off so they had to get dressed while being wet. Or... "Charizard, how about some hot air?" He places his hands at his hips, standing proud, as the Pokémon blows a stream of fire *Just* Close enough to Leon so that the heat coming from it dries him off. "Allister, your turn—" And as he turns to face the other, the little boy is already dressed up. "Oh, nevermind then." Quickly dressing himself up, it's all done by steps he does every time when putting his his uniform on. *Undergarments*, leggings, shorts, jersey, cape, and *Ta-da* Cap! Just as he's snugging it onto his head, Allister comments about never losing his cap. He had to blush to that while pulling the visor slightly over his eyes. "I got it...!"

Lowering itself to the ground, Charizard crouches for the two to get on. Leon lifts Allister to his usual spot at the neck and he gets on afterwards, on the back. He tries to hide his yawn behind his hand, but his voice is heard anyway. "Hwaaah... Up and away, Charizard! Back to the mansion, buddy." He pats the Pokémon twice before it nods and soars into the sky. Just in time, as the clouds above begins to pour rain lightly on them. Leon rubs his eyes and uses his cape to hang over Allister so that it wouldn't get to the kid and have him sick. From there, they return to the mansion!
