Irene
The bright sun shined down into the stadium, and Chris exhaled, grass tickling her slightly as she relaxed on her back in the middle of the battle field. It felt perfect. The stands where empty, and it felt unlikely someone would bother her here. She closed her eyes as she listened to the wind, and the distant coo of some pidove.

"This is nice." She hummed happily. Nice enough that she started to drift off without even meaning to. The smell of the freshly cut grass and the warm air where to much for her, the fight to stay awake and ever loosing battle as she drifted off.
Christopher
A young man walked into the stadium, looking around and enjoying the view. He'd notice that he wasn't the only person there, but that didn't bother him much. After all, he did like meeting new trainers that had to potential to be "Challengers". He went to the stands, but he then stopped. "Hrm, I have a sort of feeling that that person doesn't want any attention..." He said to himself.

He decided to approach them anyways. He was always curious after all. "Yo!" He'd greet them from the other row.
Irene
She let out a groan. Oh great. Never mind about solitude,"Can't a champion take an outdoor nap in peace..." She groaned, rolling onto her side, away from the direction she heard the voice.

"Leave me alone! Let me nap! I'm not in the mood for a battle..." She huffed, assuming that was what they where here for.
Christopher
He'd laugh a bit. "It's pretty bold to assume I'm here to battle... But yes, I have been looking for a Challenge Recently!" He'd kindly reply. "Look, there's no need to have an attitude, but it's fine if you want to be left alone" He continued. "The name's Valiente, but my friends call me Val! And you are?" He asked her
Irene
She cursed to herself, and sat up,"Chris. Chris maratin." She turned her head to look at him, giving him a once over,"Guessing by the getup your either a gym leader or a champion" She raised an eyebrow at him,"Am I right?"
Christopher
"Well aren't you a wise one! That's right! I'm the Final Gym leader of the Ore Region. Usually I'd battle everyone I meet, but seems that you're not in the mood... And I respect that!" Val said to her
Irene
"That was the plan. I came here cuz I thought no one else would be here." She exhaled, standing up,"But guess I might as well interact like a basic human being." She looked at him. She thought of mentioning she was a champion, but chose to keep quite unless the situation arose for her to say it,"So. What did you come here for? Hopefully not just to ruin my nap" She hummed, putting her hands into the pockets of her jeans, her pokeball belt looser then usual on her hips. She had a faded Mauville hoodie on
Christopher
"Well I'm supposed to have an Exhibition match in a couple of days and I just wanted to familiarize the surroundings here" He'd reply. "Well, I suppose I can't let my Pokémon stretch their Wings for a bit, right?"
Irene
"Do what you want really" She hummed, tilting her head,"How about you actually come down on the field as well. Won't get a good enough scope of the field unless you stand on it"
Christopher
Val then smiled. "No Problemo!" He'd say. He went into the field to practice with his team. He sent them out one by one. First came his Partner Dragonite. He was then followed by a Dragapult and a Shiny Noivern. Next came out Flygon. Then finally came out Kommo-o and a Garchomp. "Alright, guys. Get used to it. We're gonna rumble here in the next couple of days!" He informed the team. Val then looked over at Chris. "You sure you don't want to come down? There's plenty of room for another trainer!" He'd say
Irene
She had moved up to the first level of stands,"Well... Maybe not me... But if my Pokemon would like to go down..." She though, and then felt her poke balls shake,"Guess thats a yes. OK! Come on out" She chuckled. She tossed out midas, her shiny charizard first. Then out came ruin, her absol, and Ella, her banette. Next was victor her sceptile and Ezzy her empolion. Then finally it was Ryan her armaldo and Hanta her scolipede,"You guys play nice now. And if you train, go easy on them, all right?" She grinned
Christopher
"Oh how I love some good competition!" He'd say. As the Pokémon began to play/train together, Val began to enjoy the view of the Stadium. "So, tell me more about yourself, Chris. Why so gloomy? I guess you don't seem like the Extrovert type of person" He'd ask her
Irene
"Oh no i am an extrovert! Its just with my job I always have to be one, and even extroverts need a break every once in a while" She hummed, watching as her banette started to use shadow sneak, jumping in and out of the attack rapidly, circling around his garchomp like a confusing game of wack-a-diglit. "So, dragon type user huh? Interesting. Surprisingly there isn't a dragon type user in kadenas league."
Christopher
"What can I say? Dragon types have always been my thing. Besides, they're useful when you got 3 younger sisters to take care of!" He'd reply with a chuckle. Val stood quiet for a moment. "I've always wanted to be the Gym Leader my Mother saw me to be. And I've been able to even surpass her... But I think I may have reached my Limit..." He'd quietly say. He then got up, and grinned. "But you know what they say: Limits are meant to be BROKEN!" He exclaimed
Irene
That made her chuckle,"Indeed they should be. Hey, hey! Midas, do not seismic toss him! Its just play, not trying to break the field!" She huffed, and midas let out a puff,"And ella stop, your making that poor garchomp dizzy!" She exhaled, hanging slightly over the railing,"I'm sorry about them. They dont know how to go easy sometimes..." She rubbed her neck as she stood back up straight.
Christopher
"Well it's alright!" He replied. "After all, they like It when their opponents don't hold back!" Val replied. He then snapped his fingers, and Garchomp went for a Swords Dance-boosted Fire Fang. "Good hit there, Jett! Keep it up!" He cheered. "Besides, They love positive feedback!" He informed her
Irene
Ella stumbled back, standing up again. She puffed her cheeks, and then went back into shadow sneak, this time zipping straight towards it,"Uh oh. Looks like a shadow roughs coming jetts way" She smirked. The shadow sneak circled around it a few times, and then expanded, sucking jett in. It was quite for moment. Then suddenly glitter like sparkles started to explode out of the shadow. She shook her head, smiling,"She might be cute and small" She said, watching at the now frazzled jett got spat out of the shadow,"But she is ruthless when you make her mad. Like a visouse 8 year old."
Christopher
"Well sometimes they do learn from their mistakes," He replied. "If there's someone who could prove to be a real Challenge, then it's Cyclone! He's the Dragonite. He's been with me since I was a kid. A gift from my mother and to this day he's undefeated!" Val would inform. "He's super careful when it comes to strategic battles. My opponents usually wash away in fear after he sets up those Dragon Dances!" He'd continue. Cyclone looked over and smiled at them both. Val smiled back
Irene
"Interesting. We should have a exhibition match sometime" She hummed,"Leons invited me to a proper battle as well in galar sometime." She smiled at val,"Or do you already have such a looonnnggg list for potential *Victories*" She chuckled. Ella ran up to the garchomp, back into her happy mood as she hugged around its next happily, giggling.

"Ah. I was born in hoenn! During the time champion brendan was doing his journey." She hummed, smiling up at the sky in memory,"So, would you let me join that list? I'm sure it would be a very entertaining battle. Promise! There's a lot more to me then there seems on the outside ya know" She hummed, resting her elbow on the bar and her chin in her hand."It surprises me. You havent even asked what I do."
Christopher
He smiled at her. He then got up and Whistled. His Pokémon took notice and returned into their Pokeballs. He looked over and smiled. "Alright. Looks like you've made a spot on my list! Hopefully we have an excellent battle,....Champion," He'd say to her, grinning
Irene
Her eyes widened, surprised. And then she grinned,"You shit head you knew!" She laughed, vaulting herself over the railing and down onto the field again,"How long have you known? And why didnt you say anything?" She smirked, folding her arms as she walked up to him.
Christopher
He laughed a bit. "I'm the most powerful Gym Leader of the Ore region. I've been traveling across the world battling other trainers, and you'd think that I WOULDN'T know a Champion when I see one? I mean it's quite obvious just by looking at the Skill of your Pokémon. Not only that, you DID tell them to hold back!" He replied, laughing
Irene
She smirked up at him,"OK, OK. I'll give you that. I'm kadenas champion" She titled her head,"You caught me red handed. So. You planing on leaving now? Just when I actually started enjoying the company?"
Christopher
"Well I could stay longer, but I just got a message saying that I need to pick up My younger Sister from her Poke-performance practice. She's got spirit, I tell 'ya!" He said to to her. " But, hey! It's been nice getting to know you, dearest Champion Chris!"
Irene
"Nice getting to know you to Val. Wanna... Meet up sometime?" She asked, jumping slightly when midas puffed some smoke at her back,"Really? Was that really nessicary?" She exhaled
Christopher
He smirked. "Sure... We can meet up again" He replied. Just as he was setting off, he turned back. "Oh, Chris... The boy's name is Woolen and he's here in the Island of Aces as well. So if you find him... Tell him I said hello," He informed her. After that, he sent out his Dragonite and hoped on its back, getting ready to soar off
Irene
"Y-ya! Of course!" She said, shoving midas as he puffed more smoke,"Will you stop! B- bye! Have a great rest of your day!"
