*The water was crystal clear. The sand was warm. A breeze flirted with Glace's hair, causing his purple streak to flow loose. He was walking alongside the shore with his Ninetales, who was praticaly glowing white-blue in the sun," Une si belle journée pour une promenade. N'est-ce pas?" Ninetales looked up with her deep eyes. She made a small noise. No coat today, for it was far too hot out. No boots on the beach. Glace's faint muscles were showing. Evidence to his perfoming days. The Iceium Z in his Z bracelet shined.*

As the other walked along the beach, a man still in his signature lab coat would be standing near the shore, the waves going over his bare feet while he stared out into the horizon. "Yep! This island is like Alola!" He declared openly. Why the man even screamed that out is questionable, but Kukui is a outgoing one. Loud, encouraging. The only different thing this Sigford Island has to offer is that the whole land mass itself could be an entire *Region*! And, the possibility of meeting different Pokémon he never met before. Kukui... Hasn't gotten to that yet! 

Noticing the other one in his peripheral, Kukui turn his eyes from the ocean and spots the person with their—Alolan Ninetales! Out of all the Pokémon, and one from his region is here. It makes the man laugh a little but he moves his feet from the shore and approach this stranger as if they're friends. See, Kukui can see anyone as a cousin. First glance and they might as well be. "An Alolan Ninetales. Hey, good buddy!" He kneels down to the Pokémon and stick his hand out. What's with this man, acting so chummy already?

"I see you have a variant in your team. Have you visited Alola before?" It gave Kukui a sense of—nostalgia you can say. Seeing a Pokémon from his region from this island of trainers all around is comforting to say the least.

**Ninetales makes a suprised yip. She turned away in her sassy manor.**
Paula
*Glace knew who this was, but played it 'cool' (get it-)," Bonjour. Oui. In fact, I'm part of the Elite 4 there!" He softly petted Ninetale's top tuff of fur. It was her favorite spot. Yes, the man was familiar... But where had Glace seen him," I swear I've seen you somewhere before... Ack. Never mind moi. Just rambling on, ehehe." Ninetales huffed.*
Rodney
Funnily enough, Kukui barely visited the league he *Made.* Things always got into his mind, not allowing him to look out for the news and know who came and went from the league. Who's even the champion? Kukui reminded himself right then and there that he should try to challenge the league to see the Alolan Champion and keep them on their toes. "My apologies, cousin!" He says in that strong voice of his, while raising a free up to lower his cap at an attempt of common courtesy. "Alolan Elite Four? Woo! I'm Professor Kukui! I'm here to teach the daughter of Sigford a thing or two! You're here in vacation, yeah? It's alright if you don't know me! I haven't done anything too recognizable!"

All Kukui hoped is that he wouldn't be recognized for his *Other* Identity, so he shifted the topic smoothly over to the other. "What's your name? From your accent I assumed you're from Kalos, yeah!" Was this person raised there? Or were they born there only to move to a Alola and take the elite four position? If the latter was the possibility then it makes Kukui even more glad that someone out of region joined their region's league! Man, does that get this big cousins heart stomping like a Bouffalant out in the wild!
Paula
*Glace was a bit over-whelmed," Oui, I was born and Kalos and lived there for, well, years. Olivia gave me the spot." He added," Je suis Glace Lustre. Ninetales here is a little, what's the word... Prétentieux" Ninetales has been hearing (French) Kalosian for her entire life, since she was a cute little Vulpix. So she got a little snarky.*
Rodney
The professor isn't well versed with his Kalosian so it got his head tilting. "Glace, is it? Nice to meet you, cousin!" He stands back up to his full height and does the motion for "Alola"—his arms moving out into an arc. "It's good to finally meet, huh? I know I've said I haven't done anything noticeable but that league you're defending happens to be mine that I've built some time ago, oh yeah!" Him saying that doesn't mean he built it alone, if it wasn't obvious enough. "I'm glad you're taking care of the place? Are you enjoying it so far? Are strong trainers coming your way? Bored yet?" It seems as though he's asking too much questions but that's how it is with the professor! You can get answers without asking first!
Paula
*Glace decided to answer the questions," All of us are taking very good care of it. Of course I am! My fans are the best!," But one question was hard," Well... Not really any strong ones... Most lose to the first member. Not really bored here though!" He put on a nice smile. But Glace did really feel kinda of of place in the Elite 4. The other were from Aloha, knew everything about Aloha, lives in Aloha. And he had come from Kalos, knew little Aloha history, and only lived in Aloha for 2 years. So was he really happy? Ah, no time for this, silly Glace.*
Rodney
Glace seemed unsure so Kukui made sure to back off. His excitement for answers can get the man rambling unless he puts on some self control. "Cousin... Why did you decide to come to Alola and take place in it?" He's happy that someone from out of region did, but for someone to suddenly take the spot for what seemed like no knowledge in mind is a rash move. The professor doesn't have anything against it! But it's always curiosity that tugged at Kukui. "Is it for the sandy beaches? Our system of working toward the league being different? I know other regions has these *Gyms,* But our traditions was always by trials. I admit, that's something I appreciate of our beloved Alola. It makes us different from the rest, woo!" In the distance, a Pokémon cries and leap up from the waters before crashing back down. Kukui runs forward, his bare feet back in the wet shores. "Yeah! And Mantine surfing!" The water/flying Pokémon helped for a great sport back in Alola. To know they were here encouraged for a fun activity.
Tyler
**Ninetales had walked to her spot next to Glace's on the beach. Marked by a black umbrella with white snowflakes on it. She curled up in her tails**
Paula
*Glace stiffled a laugh at the man, acting like a little child," See, I was younger at that time. And I was just defeated by Diantha. Even though I trianed under Master Mustard in the Isle of Armor. I've been studying up on Aloha's culture. Very intéressant." He had tucked his hair back in," Of course I stay true to Kalosian activities and such. Like Pokemon Performances." Glace got a far look in his pale eyes.*
Rodney
Oh how interesting. Kukui caught some places in there that seems to be *Everywhere.* First, the professor asked, "Do you travel a lot?" For someone that seems to specialize ice-types, he seem to like warm climates. One of which is the Isle of Armour which the professor believes is in Galar. To be honest, Kukui searches up for warm regions from the world too. It's not to compare but the male isn't sure how he'd fare in icy climates! Let's just say Sinnoh is the last on his list. That doesn't mean he's afraid to travel it. Probably need to grow some thick skin first! "Missing home already?" He got the notion from the look in Glace's eyes. It could mean more than that anyway. "As much as this place is warm and tropical, Alola is where it's at for me, yeah! I'm born and raised there, it's no wonder. I don't mind calling the region my own region, woo! But for now..." He throws his lab coat off and jump into the ocean, swimming toward the Mantine. 

Of course, they're still wild Pokémon but the professor emits this warmth himself as he approaches them. "I hope you know this already!" Kukui yelled toward Glace. "Don't try to Mantine Surf on a wild Mantine! Woo!" But does he heed his own words? No! He grabs onto a Mantine as he got near, wrestling with the Pokémon. "Listen, buddy, let's have a little fun, yeah?" Eyes connecting, reassuring smile. Another occupation Kukui could follow is a Pokémon *Ranger*! Oh, Mantine are friendly Pokémon too. Soon, the Alolan man is atop a Mantine, hitting the waves. "You gotta love this about Mantine! They're your best friends in the water!" He does a few tricks, before shouting toward the shores again. "Don't you want to join too?"
Paula
*Glace bit his lip," Well... I suppose I could. But on my Cloyster." With that, Glace ran over to his spot on the beach, Ninetales was taking a nap. Glace grabbed the PokeBall with his Cloyster in it. And Glace approuched the water, he threw the ball. Cloyster came out. His not regular Cloyster, Shiny Cloyster. Glace got on the top of the Pokemon. Good thing Cloyster wasn't too pokey," Now, just like a Performance, just on l'eau."*
Rodney
He does a few of his tricks, yelling out as he lands perfectly. "There we go, thank you Mantine, this is some fun, yeah?" After one more twirl in the air, the professor finally noticed the other getting in the waters but with a shiny Cloyster. "Woo! Look at that, a shiny! He's a special one isn't h-heeee!" The professor falls into the water, disappearing under for a bit, before popping back up and spitting a mouthful of the ocean back out. His cap got lost somewhere, but it's not too concerning for him. "Show me your moves, cousin!" He waves at the other, wanting to see what they got. Mantine Surfing is famous in Alola, so hopefully Grace watched some. It doesn't matter if she fell just as the professor have. It's all in the fun!
Paula
*Glace took a breath in, then out," Cloyster, c'est l'heure du spectacle!" Cloyster span. And Glace jumped in the air, spliting in mid-air. Cloyster jumped up, using Icy Wind to create a circle of ice around the pair. Glace had swan dived into the water. Cloyster went back down. A big splash with ice shards. The Kalosian holding onto one of Cloyster's bigger spikes. The end of their water performance. Glace slicked back his hair," I've been all around Kalos, to Wydon in Galar. The Isle of Armor. And all the islands in Aloha."*
Rodney
"Whooooa!" Kukui marveled, his eyes shining as he saw the performance happen right in front of him. Another "Whooooa" Would escape his lips when it ended just as it started. "That was spectacular, Glace! Pokémon performances are like Pokémon contests, are they?" He's asking as he's swimming toward the other. He expected him to *Surf* But a performance was *Better!* "I've heard that besides battling, there is shows Pokémon can do with their moves, oh yeah! It's an interesting take, and something I like to witness as a Professor. Trainers with their Pokémon can be a lot of things." Since the Cloyster landed with the Ice Shards, the water around the area was a bit cold. "Brrr! If you don't mind, can you show more of your amazing feats?" Kukui got back on the shore. He hadn't brought a towel with him so he's allowing the sun to dry him off. "It's really interesting!"
Paula
*Glace softly laughed," The Perfomances are very challenging. Merci. I would but I'm worn out. Oui, the water IS cold?" He sat on the shell of Cloyster who was happy and content. Ninetales had been watching, so she sent an Aurora Beam in the sky. Glace had picked up one of the shards.*
