"Huh, elite four huh? That's a lot to accomplish, though, with all the challenges, the public image, maintaining your Pokemon, I could see why that would wear you down." She admitted, being a champion didn't rake up all of her time, but those who get more frequent challenges probably weren't afforded the same luxury.
"Pokemon hunter you say? Sounds draining. After all You've done, maybe I would want a break, but then again, maybe it would just inspire me to keep going. I'll know one day, I'm sure."
She squinted at Alphonse again, thinking.
"So, Al... How did you get here?" She could swear, he looked familiar...
Patricia
She looked up at him. "First, can you answer something for me?" *'Damn, this is some Soap Opera level drama here-'* "I... Um... If you had to choose between me and Pokemon battling, what would you choose..?"
William
~~Shit, did she hear-?~~ "Oh, uh—" He taps a finger to his temple. "I would choose both!" He finally answers. "You're an awesome battler too, Monika! That's why, it'll work out that way!" He's clenching his fists in his lap determinedly. "Your battle with that woman was something. Pretty cool!" He's referring to Grace and Monika's battle. He caught snippets of it while observing Red's battle. Leon's enthusiasm seems to die down, though, as he goes back to his question at hand. "Now, your turn to tell me what's wrong."
Patricia
"Is it that hard to choose..?" She said quietly, mostly to herself. She shook it off, "I... I wasn't actually sleeping... I heard everything you said... Both of you.." She looked to Blue and gave him a glare.
William
Leon sighs and pinches the bridge between his nose. "Hold on. You haven't answered my question yet, Monika." He holds her by the shoulders suddenly and stares her down so that she's just focusing on him. "You're not really part of the Rocket gang so you guys don't have to get mad at each other. I'm just worried about... Your attitude lately. I think a lot of us is worried about you. *I* Can help if you just tell me." While it was a feeling that nipped him at the heels, Leon wanted to dismiss her actions. But, it finally came to his realization that Monika probably needs the attention and confrontation .
Patricia
She flinched when he grabbed her shoulders. "My... Attitude..?" She had no idea what he was talking about. She shifted uncomfortably, trying to get out of his grip. Mimikyu was somewhere behind Monika, ready to intervene if she gets anymore uncomfortable.
William
Leon's continues his hold, undeterred by her shifting. "While you battled well, I'm sorry to admit but there was no *Passion.* What I felt from you is... Something else. If you're *Battling*, you have to make sure you're doing it with a *Pure mind*. Don't use your Pokémon to *Lash* Out! Especially if you're opponent *Doesn't deserve it.*" Occasionally, he would jab Monika's chest with his index finger at every emphasized word he says. Leon caught Grace's expression after their match. Since she lost, it's expected that she'd be disappointed, but her face showed shock and worry. Leon noticed that even Crystal seemed distressed when she talked to Monika, trying to help her cope things out. And as mentioned before, Blue brought about her behavior. "I know you're better than this, Monika. What happened? Where is the Monika *I* Know?"
Patricia
She looked at him with wide eyes, she doesn't even remember much about battling Grace. She started to squirm around in his arms just a little more and let out a quiet whimper. When Mimikyu heard this, he was about to Shadow ball right above Leon, but Marshadow stepped infront of him and did it instead, it went right over his head, and exploded right behind him, just to tell him to *Chill*. This also caught Monika off guard and she yelped and wrapped her arms around him and stuffed her face into his chest, shaking slightly.
William
Leon isn't fazed by the attack. He faced far scarier than a simple Shadow Ball. He wanted to grill down on Monika more but she hidden herself in his chest. Letting out a frustrated sigh, he would pat her back to comfort her. If she's not going to explain her actions now he would have no choice but to be patient. Maybe somewhere when they're away from the others. He tries to pay attention back to the match, seeing that he missed some stuff. "It's... Okay," Leon says stiffly. "There. There." He hand moves up to rub Monika's head.
Patricia
She felt soothed a little bit more. Grace walked over and tapped Monika on the shoulder. She got off of Leon and turned around to look at her. *"That was a good match! Congratulations!"* Grace gave her a smile. Monika scratched the back of her head, "Oh... Aha... Thank you..!" She seemed to be back to her normal attitude. Marshadow went up to Grace and hugged her leg, she giggled and picked him up and held him like a baby.
Jolene
*So she heard everything? Somehow I'm not surprised.* Blue groaned scratching the back of his head. Interestingly enough.. Leon mentioned clip thing about *Passion*. As for himself he definitely felt the same way. While she may be a strong trainer, her temperament and other factors doesn't deem her as respectable one.. At least in his eyes. Not to mention her affiliation with the Rocket Gang, she has yet to answer the question. Blue continued watching the match, directing his attention to the battle while at the same time listening to Leon and Monika. For now he'll let Leon handle that woman. If things do get out of hand however, he won't hesitate to chip in.
William
*Well, things seem to have finally calmed down a little bit. Cam isn't sure how Monika is usually, but right now he's getting some Eden vibes which makes him want to set her down in a room and give her a therapy session. But it's not his place and unlike his ~~boy~~friend, he doesn't know Monika that well, or really, at all. Standing off to the side as Leon and Monika did things that definitely weren't public displays of affection, he just watched and tried not to do anything weird or stare, though he couldn't help himself when he overheard mention of Team Rocket; his eyes narrowed just a little and he looked at her up and down again, before returning to normal. So she wasn't part of it but had some kind of ties... Oh well. With nothing much to do, not really feeling like interacting with Blue and not wanting to interrupt Leon and Monika's... Thing, he found himself standing there and idly scratching Conchampion with his off hand.*

Leon breathes out in relief from feeling Monika relax. When Grace came up to talk to her, he leaves them to chat so he could watch the match. Although, from getting so riled up before, he's not as focused. His eyes drift to the other male (Cameron) scrutinizing him and this ... Pokémon? He frickin' finally notices this strange thing. "What is that?" He said aloud.

*'OhmygodLeonnoticedmeholyfuckwowuhwhatshouldIdo—' Breathe, Cameron, breathe... Thankfully, his face didn't betray the shock he was feeling, as he just gave a soft smile, looking at the other.* "I was starting to think that the tour guide I read was wrong... It said Galar only had 400 Pokemon in it's main Pokedex, but everyone here seemed cool as a cucumber about it. Guess that's what you should expect from Champions!" *He laughed a little and then slid a small red and black stick-like device off his belt. It was the same colour as the earpiece he wore as he pointed the camera on it at the strange water beast. A small holographic screen appeared from it and it began to read aloud;* ```Conchampion, the Armored Pokemon, and the final evolution of Snailimp. Water/Fighting type.
Conchampion's soft body is made of pure water, and it can also augment it's own strength and durability by increasing the water pressure within its muscles to pulverize giant boulders with ease. Conchampion's shell is also a badge of honor that it wears proudly, as in territorial disputes, the winner takes the loser's shell as a prize.``` "He's my starter and I suppose my ace in the hole... Oh, I never introduced myself!" *He flailed a little and smiled bashfully.* "I'm Cameron Romero, or just Cam; I'm Eden's ~~boyfriend~~ rival and a fellow Champion. I've heard a lot about you, Leon!" *Well, it was more accurate to say he was a bit of a fanboy when it came to the Galar Champ, but... The man didn't need to know that.*

"I got here on my Salamence, it was a longer flight than we anticipated but he's used to a lot of long distance flying so it wasn't too big of a deal" Al says as he stares at Cynthia with a smile. What cynthia may have noticed now is a scarf that's very worn out so much so that it's lost most of its length and is wrapped around his hand like a bandana of sorts. Almost of a reminder of that day he met this girl and the promise they made that day.
Jolene
Blue who seemed as if he was holding his breath sighed in relief "Thank Arceus." He can finally watch the match without having to, he then glanced at Cameron. *What a strange pokemon.* He thought to himself and focused his attention back to the match.
Susan
"Well, that's a long trip. I just took a boat, after all." She shrugged. He was still looking at her, and she was doing the same. Well, this wasn't awkward at all, now was it? "So," She interrupted her own thoughts. "Who do you think is going to win? I have high hopes for Red and Anvi, but who knows." In an attempt to look somewhere other than his face, she loomed down at the scarf on his hand. It looked... Strangely familiar. As if she'd just been hit with a sense of Deja vu...
William
"An interesting starter!" Leon is in awe. Since he knows Eden, they come from a region that Leon isn't well-known with. It's always good to meet someone who can show him these kind of things. "Is he safe to touch?" He chuckles as he raise his hand toward the bulky snail Pokémon. Asking the question, he recalls Eden's Mukchamp, Bane. This Pokémon is different, though, since it's not a fusion. "Ah, you've heard about me?" Leon proudly smiles while closing his eyes, showing a posture of confidence. "A lot of people do, so that's not new. It's nice to meet you too, Cam." The name 'Cam' does jog his memory a bit. Wasn't Eden on a phone call with him when that dark-colored Mewtwo was transferred over? "Oh, right. You're the one that sent that Mewtwo to Eden," He says simply. "What's with that? How did he...?" Wasn't Mewtwo a genetically engineered Pokémon? How would he have one? Unless...
Beatrice
"I'm not sure to be frank it'll be close either way though if I had to choose I do think Red and Anvi will come out on top due to the sheer experince Red has had." Al says as he doesn't break eye contact as if he was caught in a trap, that are her eyes. Something about this woman was strangly familiar. "I was wondeirng maybe after the battle is over we can head out somewhere?"

Allister had gotten lost three times on the way here! Okay, that was a lie. He'd gotten lost about six! 
Maybe it was because he was from a small town, and never had to worry about being lost. Or maybe it was because he was too anxious to ask for directions, but he'd been wandering like a lost soul for about an hour now. But it was the loud ruckus of a Pokemon battle that drew him to the stadium. Though he had little intention on battling everyone, finding a quiet place to tuck himself away had been a bust, so might as well watch the battle. 
Allister found his seat, a little closer to every else than he prefered, but moving now would look weird... He guessed. Turns out, Champion Leon was here. As well as a kid who he didn't recognize. Strange... But perhaps it wasn't. What would be strange was if anyone were to look over and notice the mask wearing child staring at them...
