*Mayson entered the cafe with a tired look on his face. He rubbed his eyes as the lopunny following him gave him a worried look.* "Hey... Give me two of your strongest espressos, and I mean **Strongest**" *Mayson looked at the cashier with a serious and almost pitiful face, desperately needing a pick me up. It was a rough night he got almost no sleep*
Corinne
*Kara would enter the cafe with an intrigued look on her face, visibly contrasting Mayson's. It seemed like there were many places to see around here, but a little snack couldn't hurt anyone. Though, upon seeing Mayson and hearing him talk, she genuinely felt bad for him and tapped him on the shoulder to try and draw his attention.* "Hey... You don't sound too well. What happened to you?" *She asked genuinely as her facial expression changed to concern.*
Natalie
*Mayson looked back, large bags under his eyes as he stared silently at the person that tapped his back for a few seconds before sighing* "I'm sorry, am I making a scene? Rough night, no sleep" *He sighed and looked impatiently at the cashier who was waiting for someone to make the coffees. He tapped his finger against the counter to calm himself down. Don't drink wine before trying to go to sleep.*
Corinne
*Kara couldn't help but wince a little from what she heard before looking concerned even more.* "Please try and get some sleep soon. Last thing anyone wants is for someone to be out of shape." *She said as she ordered herself a small cinnamon bun. Though, what concerned her the most is how Mayson ended up that way more than anything, but she seemed to hold off on that question. She didn't want it to offend him or anything of the sort.*
Natalie
*There wasn't exactly much to why he was tired. He arrived on the island and to celebrate had a little too much wine. He ended up staying up all night without being able to close his eyes and not throw up. Safe to say he was hung over, tired, and well, hung over. The cashier finally came over with two espressos and he almost immediately began chugging one, slamming his money on the counter. As soon as he finished the espresso his face lit up* "Relief!"
Corinne
*She was taken aback by the sudden chugging of the expresso and the speed of how he slammed his money on the counter. Either Mayson really loved coffee or he needed a drink. Kara assumed both in her head and moved on from it. Her bun was done and she gently gave the cashier her money before looking back to Mayson.* "I don't believe we've introduced ourselves... My name is Kara Fuyumi. What's yours?" *She asked before taking a bite into her food.*
Natalie
*Mayson looked back at her with a revitalized look. He gave her a grin and introduced himself* "I'm Mayson Forest, ex champion of the Fiera region!" *He did a little pose, expecting a round of applause or something. And he received nothing, earning an embarrassed sweat drop from Mayson* "*Guess considering everyone here probably is a gym leader or champion it's not that impressive*"
Corinne
'He sure does have a flair for dramatic introductions...' *Kara said in her mind as she looked just as confused as everyone else in the room. Though, she brushed it off and kept going to save him the embarrassment.* "So, ex Champion of the Fiera region? I can say you must be extremely talented then. As of now, I'm Champion of the Nian region, which is my home." *She would say as she gave another bite into her bun, acting rather casual.*
Natalie
*Oh god he just embarrassed himself in front of all these people. He sweat heavily as he felt the gazes of everyone in the shop* "Current champion? H-heh guess ex champion is even less impressive when talking to a current champion" *He looked away embarrassed and took a sip of his second espresso, trying to ignore the eyes staring at him*
Corinne
*Kara would shake her head before going around to face him.* "Well... Not in my eyes. Being an ex-Champion means that you are really talented, even if you got beat. Matter of fact, it just means you can hone your skills more to take back your title someday! So, why be embarrassed because you're talking to a current Champion?" *She asked as she gazed at him with a warm smile across her face. The tone she gave off was rather soothing and calm, but also genuine and straightforward.*
Natalie
"Ehh, well I kinda lost the title to a kid with a team of psuedos and a mega garchomp. So... Yeah maybe it's not so bad." *He rubbed his neck and gave a nervous chuckle. He looked around and EVERYONE WAS STILL STARING. Holy shit people don't any of you have jobs?* "I uh, hello?" *He waved at them all before turning his attention to the girl in front of him* "Anyways, I have thought about it but, I don't need to be the most important person. I proved myself, now I'm done. No more boring meetings about bringing crime in the region down. I can do that in my own time!" *He recalled the various... Awful... Boring meetings he was forced through*
Corinne
*Kara would end up finishing her food before nodding and respecting his choice.* "Alright then. Should we... Get going? Maybe we can meet up another time?" *She asked, as the staring made it rather awkward for the both of them. Having a public conversation like this felt rather unnerving, so she tried to find a way out without embarrassing either side more.*
Natalie
"Yeahhh let's... Goooo..." *He didn't exactly know what to do so he sipped his coffee and started walking out the door* "So uh, are you coming?" *He waited just outside the door for her. He didn't want to be rude and leave her alone. He looked over at lopunny who was just chillin out maxing relaxing all cool, staring at Kara.*
Corinne
"Sure! Just give me a moment!" *She said as she finished her food and threw her trash away.* "Ready now! I need to know more about this island anyways. It's surprisingly big." *Kara said as she walked out the door while also giving a kind smile and a wave to Lopunny.*
Natalie
"Same here" *Lopunny looked at Kara and sniffed her, trying to see if she recognized her. She didn't, but it was a new smell at least. Lopunny raised its hand and waved at Kara with a small smile.* "Oh maple is saying hi!" *Mayson pat the Lopunny on her head, smiling as he felt the fluff graze his fingers. Ahhh his best friend and partner pokemon. One notable detail is the bandana with a mega stone on it. Guess Lopunny can mega evolve*
Corinne
*She giggled a little bit as she saw the Lopunny wave at her, or Maple as they were called. It was a cute name for a cute Pokemon.* "Nice to meet ya Maple! I can see you and Mayson get along rather well!" *Kara smiled before looking to Mayson again.* "Let's try to find somewhere with open space. I want to show you my team." *She suggested.*
Natalie
"Only if i can show you mine." *He chuckled a little bit and looked at the map so kindly provided to him by his sister* "Let's see... Oh there's  *He made a note to check that out if they didn't go today. But it's a large open area, perfect for them to show off their teams*
Corinne
"Sure thing! I'd love to see it!" *She chuckled before looking back to the map and looking where the stadium was. It seemed perfect for meeting teams, so it worked well!* "Hey, that works well! Should we go check it out, or do you want to visit other places first?" *Kara asked with a small smile.*
Natalie
"Well we might as well show off our teams first don't you think?" *Mayson put his hand on his hip and pressed his finger against his bottom lip, thinking. He pulled out his sunglasses and put them on and looked in the direction of the stadium* "Shall we go?" *He grinned a little as he rolled up his map and put it in his bag*
Corinne
*Kara nodded and took off in the direction of the stadium. She didn't waste any time, as she was set on going there to show off her team to Mayson. Although, it wasn't every day that she could display her team outside of battling to others. It felt nice to unwind and relax, and share teams.*
Natalie
*Mayson followed her, maple sticking close by. He looked up in the sky at the pidgey flying overhead. It reminded him of when he first started journeying. When he battled his first pidgey. How far has he come from then? Becoming champion, even if momentarily? That's quite amazing. He sighed happily as they made it to  maple running inside almost immediately.*
