Irsia had followed along, making sure that she held on gently but securely to Alli's hand. It was really small. She wondered where they were going. She guessed so they could have a different atmosphere. Wow, this garden was beautiful. She really wanted to let out her Pokemon, seeing that they'd enjoy this type of scenery. She decided to let out Lurantis. Huh, Gardevoir must have went off on her down for a bit. She looked at Irsia and Alli, and leaned in, wondering who the small child was. She saw him earlier when they were performing... Either way, the garden itself was a lot more interesting. 
Irsia noticed the bench and sat down with him. She made sure he had enough room by scooting to the side so there was a bit of space between them. She was quite surprised to see Polteageist, even more so that Alli was drinking the tea from it! "If it's tasty to you, it's fine. Go ahead." 
Well... She wasn't sure what she wanted to know; the boy was a whole mystery in himself. She guessed she just wanted to know what's been bothering him all this time. "Just tell me what's on your mind, Allister. I want you to tell me what *You* Think I should know." She decided to put an arm over him.

"Hmm," Allister hummed, resting his finger on his chin and looking up. The 'hmm' was light and airy, making a calm silence fall over the garden while he thought of a response. How much to tell her...
"Well," He started, happy that his voice sounded better. 
"Wh'n I was eight... I-I was offered to be a gym leader... It-it was... Hmm... It was great at first... I-I actually love my job." He smiled, thinking of all the happy ghosts he picked up along the way. "B-but then," He shook his head, looking down. "I realized bein'... Uh... Im-important 'nd all's not wh't it's cracked up t' be. I's... Kinda scary sometimes actu'ly. Like you're being put o-on display, 'nd loved, 'nd admired..." He remembered the day that it was announced. It was the news was talking about. *"Young New Gym Leader"*, "Child Prodigy", "Youngest Gym Leader Galar's ever Seen!"*

"But th-they only admire a character... N't the real you," He said, frowning behind his mask. The thing no one new about the advertising and articles, was that Allister, and none of his colleagues for that matter, had any say in what people wrote about them. They never did.
"I g-guess you wouldn't know, huh?" He asked Irsia, before turning away.

Irsia made sure to stay quiet, she didn't want to interrupt Alli as he talked. Odds are she'd scare him off if that happened. So, he wanted to talk about that? She was always interested in how that happened, since he was so young when he became a gym leader. She was in college before she even thought about it! "That's what fame really is. It's hard for people to realize it but a lot of the time, people love an idol because of what *They* Think the person is like. It can lead to some pretty scary consequences, actually." She tapped her lip as she thought about it. "What do you mean? Alli, I have a gym that I run, as well as contests. So I completely know how it feels. Though my first time getting publicity was more of a mixed issue." She wondered if she could tell about her experiences. "I moved to a new city and fell in love with it. What happened though, is that there was a mayor who didn't. I called him out for it, and the next thing I realized was that I was having interview after interview..." She stopped there. 

"It might be daunting at this point, but remember that everything has a time limit. It'll die down eventually. Just keep doing what you do. You're an amazing child." She gently strokes his hair again.

Allister finished talking, taking several deep breaths in order to compose himself. In and out, in and out... Just like Bea did. He sighed, leaning into Irsia's hand. Aah, yeah, that was nice. Even if she didn't have a way to understand him, at least she was kind about her response and-wait? Irsia was a gym leader? Where? Allister had read about many other regions, but never heard about her. Maybe she was from far far away? He looked up at her with his usual "Hmm"
"W-what do you mean?" He asked. "Y-you're a gym leader too?" He got his answer, listening to her story of how she moved to a new home, got her job, and found herself as overwhelmed as he was. Okay, maybe not *As* Overwhelmed. But still. It was so comforting to him, knowing that she did actually understand, and didn't just look down on him for feeling that way.
"Scary stuff huh?" Allister said, after a while. He smiled gently behind his mask. "A-amazing... Nah... I-I have others t' thank for my success." He said, pointing to Empress for example. "I-I never really achieved anythin' without them. 'Nd, they're the real stars, 'm just... A guide I suppose." While he didn't believe he was talentless, Allister didn't think he deserved anything he was given. The fame, the popularity. He didn't deserve any of it... Why would he.
"Mrs Irsia?" He asked. "Why do you think it was us? Why not some other trainers?"
