A stadium? Wow, this island has everything. I wonder why the skyline was so big? These thoughts swam through the young Island Challenger's head as he and his Pokémon looked around. Lokelani, his Oricorio, and Symphony, his Primarina, led the group of Pokémon as some of the long-standing team members. Kuku, his Drampa, stayed in the back, conversing with Palm, his Alolan Exeggutor. Elio's Alolan Persian, Pudge, rubbed against his leg, and Kami, the Alolan Golem, rolled around the group.

Alright! Here we go!
Nessa stretched feeling the sun beat down, and gentle breeze which carried with it the leaves of fall. Fall- meaning the league wouldn't be for another half a year, but it was never too early to practice. Everyone else in Glar had slacked off or something, making Nessa even more convinced that she would best them.
But she needed to do more than take her pokemon for a run or have them cycle through moves against a target. She needed *Real* Competition. She'd asked Allister, but he was "Apparently busy" And Marnie was out at some of the stores. Figures.
Well, we'll see who's laughing when I whoop their butts this year!

"Hi, there." She said, waving to a nearby trainer. He was kind of her only option, but since he got invited, it was safe to say he was at least decent. "You look like a trong trainer, am I right? Got a full team and everything. Could you, maaaybe, do for an opponent?"

The Alolan looked up, and Nessa's proposition caught the attention of his team as well. "Oh- hello, ma'am. I guess I could be considered strong if I made it to the Alolan Champion." He said, referring back to the day after his failed attempts. "Yes, I'd like a battle." He returned all his Pokémon, who were all hyped up and ready for a battle.

"Fantastic!" She said. Nessa clapped her hands together and nodded with a certain conviction that said, 'I've been waiting for this!' Part of her hoped she could win, of course. She was a highly competitive person after all. But part of her also wanted a really close fight against a strong opponent. Hopefully the boy didn't let her down.
She strolled over to the other side of the stadium, followed closely behind by her drednaw. "No, not you, silly. You know how this works."
She then withdrew another pokemon, and waved at the other. "What region are you from by the way?"
Jamie
He smiled and said, "I'm from Alola! I hope this'll be a great battle!" He gave her a thumbs-up as he threw out his Drampa, who looked at Nessa with a newfound determination. The two were very close, but not so close that they could nonverbally battle someone.
