William
Leon was leaned close to the battle that he almost jumped when Blue elbowed him. "H-huh? Yeah, they do seem so close..." He squint his eyes at the two, finally looking away from ~~ogling~~ Red. "She-" He's referring to Iris. "-has the same energy as Raihan. I wouldn't be surprised if they were siblings too! Except, they're not related. *I* Would know if they were." He and Raihan have known each other for so long. Raihan would tell him *Everything* Even if it included having a (former) champion from another region. If Iris got to the top like that, that must mean- "She must be stronger than Raihan! I'd like to battle her!" He pumps his fist in the air. "Hurry, everybody! Keep battling!"
Jolene
"I faced off her old man back in the PWT. He's quite the powerhouse, but not strong enough so I wouldn't be surprised if she was even stronger." He bragged. "I'd like to face her off as well and the other trainers too." He crossed his arms giving off a prideful smirk. "And beat every single one of them."
Patricia
She looked over at Blue with a blank expression. "Didn't I beat you back in Kanto?" She smirked at him, Grace was still standing in the battlefield thinking about what the fuck just happened.
Jolene
He rolled his eyes in response to her remark, "You did now? I have zero recollection of that event."
William
*Cam was quite impressed that she'd managed to beat a Champion, but then again, he shouldn't be too surprised... Everyone was invited because of their strength, right? Walking over to them and listening to their small argument, he was reminded of Eden, at least, when he was decidedly more of an annoying person than anything. Sighing, he put his hands in his pockets and walked over to them, hoping to try and dissolve the tensions as he waved at Blue.* "Heeey, you're Blue, aren't you?" *He grinned then turned to Monika.* "And you too, you're really impressive! You're an Elite Four I believe, right??"
Patricia
She took out her phone and showed him a video that an audience member recorded of Monika defeating his last Pokemon almost effortlessly. "Did that jog your memory sweetie?" She then turned to Cam, "Uh, huh, that's me..!" She tried her best to give a normal smile to him.
William
*He looked between both of them again. 'So she beat Blue too? That's really, really impressive- should I ask to battle her...?'* "U-um, I'm sure that Blue's probably fought a lot of people..." *He turned to the other, feeling awkward. He didn't want them to fight and was trying to clear it up but it wasn't really his problem..* "You started overseeing the Battle Tree a while back, right? I guess you would definitely lose track of all the strong trainers you fight.." *Turning back to Monika, he rubbed the back of his head awkwardly, just as Eden got up and slowly walked over.* "I don't think I caught your name... I'm Cameron, but you can just call me Cam!"
Patricia
She scratched the back of her head, "Monika." Her eyes narrowed to Eden and she felt a rush of anger go through her. *'Ah, this bitch.'* She thought in her head. She sucked some air in through gritted teeth and exhaled quietly.
William
"Monika, huh? It's nice to meet you then!" *He was still all smiles and generally speaking unfazed despite the fact that clearly the mood was rather soured. Hearing footsteps, he turned around to find Eden walking over and he grinned again.* "Maybe you've met him since he's been here way longer than me, but this is my ~~boyfriend~~ rival, Eden! We went on our journey together and now we're both Champs and all, but I'd say he's still 'one of' my best friends." *Of course, no one there needed to know how Cam really felt about the other, as Eden seemed to look Monika up and down, eyes only slightly narrowing. Cam either didn't notice or he did but was great at keeping it hidden.* "So, what kinds of Pokemon do you use? I only got to see a few in our battle."
Patricia
She felt herself getting more irritated when Cam started 'introducing' Eden. "We've met before." She heard his question and answered, "I use Ghost and Psychic types.." She ran her fingers through her hair a little bit. Grace finally snapped out of it and walked over to the stands and sat down, farther away from the group. She seemed deep in thought, it's probably best not to bother her.
Tonya
*Eden was still frowning at her, but he turned to Cam and gave a soft but noticeable smile.* "Yeah, there wasn't really much point to introducing me... I've met quite a few people here already, though with how... Energetic you are, you'll probably end up knowing more faces than I do." *He felt no need to talk about his Pokemon, Monika likely already knew his "Specialty" And Cam had obvious knowledge of it, though...[he smirked,]* "Cam, why don't you bring out your team? It's not fair to keep them cooped up in their Pokeballs... Though maybe not *That* One."
William
*He thought about it and frowned, for a second he seemed distraught. Of course, his Pokemon hadn't gotten any fresh air at all since he'd arrived! He'd just stayed in Eden's room and walked around the island, but he hadn't brought them out at all... Well, time to fix that. Turning to the side, he reached behind his coat— grabbing various types of balls that had been at the back of his belt. He had 6 in all, though technically he always carried 7.* "Alright you guys, why don't you come on out!" *He grinned as he threw all the balls into the air at once, all of them popping open to reveal his team. Brahms, Volts, Kamo, Erell, Quides, and Neptune. Toucannon, Electivire, Sawsbuck, [Rotovan] Lucario, Volcarona, and Conchampion. All of them looked around a bit before crowding around Cam and Eden rather rapidly, Cam basically being swarmed while a few of them went over and nuzzled Eden or allowed him to pat them. The only one that didn't was Neptune, the ~~probably~~ unfamiliar 'mon standing off to the side and watching.*
Patricia
She observed them for a moment, not really caring about Neptune. "Eh, why not?" She took out her Pokeballs and released her Pokemon. (Mimikyu was already out.) Gengar, Espeon, Galarian Rapidash, Hatterene, Blacephalon, and Marshadow. Marshadow walked up to Cam and tilted his head and looked up at him, with his normal blank expression. He lifted his arms up as if he wanted to be picked up.
William
*Cam looked at Marshadow in wonder; he'd never seen this Pokemon before! It didn't appear in Rotova or Alplana, so it was entirely new to it. Looking at it with wide eyes, he slowly picked it up though with some caution, because he didn't know what it could do. Neptune slowly lumbered over to Monika, staring her down with a blank expression for a little bit before moving away. The strange... Maybe water-type? Didn't seem to like her very much, though it did stare at Blacephalon for a bit with a more curious expression on its face, before blowing a few large bubbles at it to see what would happen.*
Ronnie
Marshadow stared at Cam for a second, before making an adorable happy face. ^w^ Blacephalon at the bubbles for a moment before reaching up to pop it. She did manage to pop one, and she clapped to herself before attempting to pop some more.
William
*Conchampion stopped blowing the bubbles before relaxing, seemingly no longer thinking of the Ultra Beast as too much of a threat. It then walked around a little, seemingly enjoying what was going on as Eden watched it. Cam smiled back at Marshadow but put him down after a while before looking at Monika.* "An Ultra Beast... And I've never heard of this little guy, so he must be a legendary or a mythical, right?"
Patricia
"Mythical I guess." Marshadow ran up to her and hugged her leg, she reached down and patted him on the head before picking him up and holding him like a baby. "His name is Marshadow, he's a childish little fella." She slightly smiled and booped him on the nose.
William
"Lucky... For some reason when we meet Pokemon like that they tend to be fucking huge. This guy has a soft spot for them but I've always thought they were just a bit awkward..." *He turned and grinned at Eden before taking the seventh ball off his belt; this was a Cherish Ball, as he stared at it.* "....Dunno if bringing him was a great idea to be honest.." *Eden smirked in return.* "Well, I would've made you either way as punishment for forcing Mewtwo on me. He was quite content to stay at home, y'know."

"Pokémon world tournament?! I've heard of that! I want to join something like it!" Leon had his attention now at Blue, intruding his personal space. "But this island is almost the same thing... A lot of strong trainers are here and I can't wait to battle them all! I only battled two so far." He sees Eden and nods at him in acknowledgment but otherwise he doesn't try to interrupt the threeway conversation he's having with this other male and Monika. They seem to be showing off their (legendary) Pokémon in some way. "Hey, runner-up. You and me can battle sometime?" He's indicating Blue.

*The moment Leon speaks up, Cam's eyes widen and he re-enters ecstatic fanboyism mode. He wants to just go and leave the others to introduce himself, but not only would it be rude and weird, Leon was busy talking to Blue, another person he wanted to meet. Sighing, he refocused on the others and his own team, recalling everyone except Erell and Neptune, though still holding the seventh ball and messing with it a fair bit. Conchampion 'enjoyed' the petting in a way, making a content noise and making another bubble which floated around a little. It was mostly made of water but it was still very imposing, and seemed to be one of Cam's stronger Pokemon. After a little, Cam sighed, Lucario over with Eden and Neptune on standby.*
Jolene
"Runner-up!? Excuse me!" Blue pushed Leon back not roughly but in a slightly lighthearted manner. "I don't mind a fight. How about this?" He smirked at Leon and looking to Red. "We have a battle and the winner gets to face off Red. I'm sure Red won't say no for an answer!"
Patricia
She immediately turned her head to the two and growled slightly when Blue pushed at him. She was tempted to stomp over there and whoop his ass, but she decided against it. *'Later.'* She told herself. She turned back to Cam and gave a shaky smile.
William
"Leon's eyes are sparkling with excitement. "This will be *Easy*! You're on!" He points at Blue eagerly. His eyes flick back to the battlefield, though. "Eh, but I want to watch Red more. It's not everyday you see him battling, right?" His eyes seem to be glued back at the legendary trainer. "I want to see his Charizard! Right, Charizard?" Leon's would roar in agreement and flap its wings. "After that, we can have a Champion time?" He winks at Blue, hoping that he'll understand. Even if he does like battling, at the moment nothing can fathom his admiration for Red.
Jolene
"Easy?" He scoffed. "You will regret underestimating me! You probably don't know this, but Red and I were neck to neck when we battled as kids. Red's not an easy person to come through, even his own mom doesn't see him often. And yes." He responded as if he were talking to a kid. "Yes you can have your Champion time if you want, fanboy."
Neil
*Crystal walked here* "How did i never notice there being stadium stands... Oh! Hi there! I see that a few new people are here?" *Crystal smiled as her alolan ninetails ran next to her, as Crystal ran here for no reason at all* "Also.. Are you doing alright after the last time we spoke Monika?"
Patricia
She looked over at Crystal. Just the way she looked at her was unsettling, "Yeah, I'm fine, why?" She continued spoiling Marshadow as she kept on petting him and booping him.
William
"More the reason I *Will* Battle him if he's like a rare Pokémon. Blue, you may have been neck to neck to him, but have you ever defeated Red?" His mind is stirred up and he leans toward the battle again. "That means I have more of a chance!" He gets flustered when Blue calls him a fanboy once again "Ahaha! I just respect the guy!"
Neil
"I.. Last time we were talking... You seemed... Different, i don't know if *That* Is the cause... But something really seemed wrong.." *Darcy glared at Marshadow, then started OwOing, trying to get pets, Crystal noticed this and started petting ninetails, so now Darcy had some luv as well* "Even when i'm talking to you now, something is just... Off... But i can't put my finger on what"
Patricia
She raised an eyebrow, "Off?" She set Marshadow down gently and inched towards Crystal. "What do you mean by 'off'?" She put her hand on her hip and looked straight into her eyes with a frown on her face.
Neil
"I... I should talk to you about it when less people are around.." *Crystal backed up a tiny bit, Darcy continued to vibe* "I mean..." *Crystal was getting a bit nervous, and was trying to figure out what exactly was the problem, but then Crystal remembered something, then went silent.*
Patricia
"What's with you?" Marshadow walked up to her and hugged her leg, as a form of comfort. "Why can't you talk about it here? C'mon, spill."
Neil
"....." *Darcy looked at Crystal, confused as to why she was so nervous* "W-well... I may or may not have found out something... *Else* Involving you and team rocket... And... Also things that can very much remind me of one of those Yandere games..." *Crystal still backed up a tiny bit, appreciating Marshadows hug, but still..*
Patricia
She twitched, "The fuck did you just say to me..?" This child has some **Balls** To mention home to her. "Yandere? I'm not sure what that is... But if it's something bad then I swear to Arceus.." She clenched her hand into a fist. Marshadow quickly ran over and hugged her leg also, she relaxed slightly, but she still looked pissed.
Jolene
"No I have not, but I **Do** Plan to beat him!" Blue wondered if Red was ever defeated before, but it's not like he would know. Red never says a thing. He chuckled, "You respect him, eh? It's not until you get beaten by him that you truly respect him."
Patricia
She shook her head and her eyes turned yellow again. "Bleh... Sorry about that... I don't know what came over me.." She yawned and plopped down on a seat. She held her head, "Maybe I'll just... Sleep for a little bit.." Her eyes slowly closed and she drifted off to sleep.
Neil
*Crystal then thought again* "Oh.. I should have noticed... That... Explains a lot more" *Darcy noticed Monika asleep at.. A stadium.. Which is not a good place to sleep, but Darcy couldn't do anything about that, Crystal walked back over to Monika* "Well.. You seem better now at least.."
William
"Actually, I have been beaten by him." Leon sounded serious, his eyes downcast, giving them a break from looking at Red. "In my dreams..." He clenches his fist and grits his teeth. "He was so strong... But I respect him even without losing to him! Don't worry, you'll beat him, Blue. Just not today." He pats the boy's back in pity.
Jolene
He burst out in laughter, "In your dreams!" It wasn't until Leon ended his sentence he was quickly annoyed. "Yeah obviously **Not today.** But eventually it'll happen! I've been so busy in Kalos and Red's been.. Well he's been doing his own thing!" He smirked pridefully.
William
*Seeing as Monika has decided to take a nap, Cameron decides to finally go say hi to Leon. He notices he's talking to Blue though, so he ends up having to wait, he doesn't want to interrupt anything, though he does catch a few snippets of conversation. So he's not weird for fanboying over the Champ, so seems to fanboy over Red in turn. Fair enough, makes sense... Smiling, he walks over to Neptune and "Fistbumps" Him, in a sense, with a smile.*
Neil
*Crystal thinks about taking Monika back to her room to rest, but then notices Darcy, and Darcy went up and nudged Leon, trying to get Leon to take Monika to his room, because it seemed common for people to do in Darcys opinion* "Well, i suppose i should leave.." *Crystal sighed* "I do want to make sure Monika doesn't sleep here though.."

*Crystal yawned* "I should sleep though.. I hope Leon brings Monika back to her room" *Crystal took Darcy and left*
William
Leon thought about what Blue said, and assumed something else. "Oh I thought we were going to battle today, so I assumed you knew your place!" He implied himself winning between the two. "Ah, that's too bad. Another day then." He rests his chin on his fist, zoning back to the battle when he felt something nudge his arm. Crystal's Ninetales. He look to the side to see that Monika was napping. He didn't really want to leave the battlefield. I mean, this is Red! Unlike him who almost always broadcasts his battles back in Galar, Red barely shows up at all! It's amazing to see his hero in action. Instead, Leon covers her with his cape like a blanket and tries to focus back to the battle, but not without noticing another presence nearby. "Oh? Your Pokémon...?" He takes note of a different formed Lucario he never saw before. Immediately he pieced it together that him and Eden must be acquainted.
Beatrice
"I still have a bond with my pokemon especially with my current team, but it's just that battling has become a bit of a bore. I've battle a lot of trainers as part of the Elite Four but I've just done so many that it gets boring, it's like an old song that you loved and would play over and over but eventually you hear it so often that you get sick of it, and when you've had a break from listening to it, do you finally begin to love it again. At least that's how I've felt recently." Al says he stares into Cythia's grey eyes finding them alluring but strangely familiar, hell the girl's head band was familiar. He wasn't sure if it was just the fact that he sees her face everywhere or what but he feels like he's seen it before.
Susan
"Interesting... I always had other desires to keep me busy, between round of facing challengers as well as challenging other legues myself. I've always lived a busy life, so I only ever got around to challenging the Unova Legue. This was before Iris became champion," She added. She looked at the young dragon trainer and smiled. "That girl's really something. I can see the enthusiasm in her eyes."
She turned to Alphonse. "So, you say you challenge elite four and trainers all across the world. Did you ever challenge a champion? I like to imagine we put up the toughest fight."
Jolene
"Give me break, I just arrived here. We can try tomorrow or maybe bombard his room. If it even does exist, " Blue chuckled. "The receptionist said he left it in shambles and slept elsewhere. It wouldn't be a surprise if he battled in his room." The boy glanced to see that Leon shielded Monika with his cape. "She gives me the creeps. Are you guys actually together or is she just some kind of fangirl?"
William
"As expected of Red! He's not a legendary trainer for nothing! Of course he wouldn't be able to sit still!" Leon chuckles to himself, clearly pleased that Red left his room in shambles... Denying the fact that *That's* Still damage of property. When Blue mentioned Monika, he scratches his cheek as if embarrassed. "Well, she... Confessed to me. With the flow of things, I guess I said, 'yes?'" His intention was to protect Monika but was it really anything else? Maybe it is but he's too oblivious to really know? "I'm not good with stuff like 'dating.'" He's even more embarrassed, his cheeks a hint darker. He tries to brush it aside with a joke. "Of course she's creepy! She has ghost-type Pokémon as her forte! Er, and psychic."
