Eileen
Hau was sitting here just eating some malasadas while trying to juggle some pokeballs (failing obviously) to play with Blacephalon. Wow he is really bad at this—oh one just hit his head nice.
Bryan
Irsia did in fact listen to Iris as she talked. It was so cute, how she kept going on and on. She nodded and made sure she was actually listening the entire time. "Raihan, he's a Galarian gym leader isn't he? He doesn't get broadcasted very often since he's a tier 1...Oh, well, the same level I mean. And—"
Her eyes widened. She turned to Iris, leaning in. 
"Did you say... Anvi?" Her eyes were practically sparkling. "Anvi?! Oh, I'm so happy he's here!"

She picks up Iris and spins her around once. 

"I can't believe he agreed to come! I have to see him at some point! Did he really do those things?" She laughed. "That's so surprising, but I'm glad he's really is coming out of his shell. It's usually very hard for him to interact."
Eileen
Hau just watched the three hang around, he didn't want to interrupt them despite wanting to 😔. He just kept on trying to juggle. He kept an eye on his Blacephalon because he doesn't know what it could do around others. Could it hurt them? Set something on fire.
Ricardo
Iris laughed as well as she was lifted off the ground. The girl nodded happily, "Yep yep! We were playing around with pool noodles and he totally knocked us over! Red and I were a team! Oh and I forgot to talk about when he was putting sunscreen on Raihan! He passed out on his thighs. That's why when you meet Raihan you totally have to call him thigh guy!"
Eileen
Hau almost choked on his malasada. Holy crap that sounded funny. Just passing out? On someone's thighs?? That sounded like a hilarious sight to see. He was gagging a bit and geared up due to that. He finally swallowed his bite. He tried to hold in his laugh but then just busted out laughing, "OooOooHHH MY ARCEUS AHHAHAHAHA!" What a backstory behind the reason why Iris calls Raihan the thigh guy.
Tim
*Red brought out a water bottle from his backpack. He noticed how much Hau was chocking on his malasada. He rushed over to offer him some water.*
Eileen
*Cough* "H-Heh. I'm fine. I swallowed it d-doooohahahaoown!" He was still giggling from everything. "Hoo... *Cough* I'm fine, I mean it!" He responds. "I'm a tough boy! I think?" Anime Hau says otherwise.
Bryan
Irsia knew she shouldnt do this to other people's kids! Well, Iris was so cute to NOT do that. "He even got in the water? He must really like you all then! I'm so happy, I'm going to probably talk his head off when I see him." 
She covered her mouth, laughing when it came to the story about thighs. She wondered if any of them could guess something about Anvi. 
"That sounds like him, getting into antics." *If there was a picture then she HAD to see it*.
Irsia turned her head to see another young boy nearby. Was he okay? He must have been listening in to laugh that hard. 
"Oh!" She tried recognizing the boy. She didn't know his name, but his whole outfit and demeanor was obvious. 
"Are you from Alola?"
Eileen
"Yeah, I am! I'm Hau, champion for only like... 30 minutes? Sad story..." He sighed. "But not really! Nice to meet you... Um..." He tilted his head and examined her. "I don't recognize you. Are you popular? Who are you? Do you use specific types?" He asked, he seemed genuinely curious. Confused even?
Maureen
Blacephalon took of it's head to get a closer view of Irsia. Rotating it every now and then. It threw it up in the air a few times before returning it to its body.
Bryan
"Hau! That's who you are!" 
"Well, I wouldn't say I'm very popular. At least not to those outside my region." She adjusted her headscarf again.
Gardevoir had been a little wary of Blacephalon. It... Wasn't like anything she'd seen before. She almost stepped in front of Irsia, even though she didn't seem to be in any danger. 

"I've visited Alola once, I'd love to go back. Oh, the culture was so rich! I'd love to meet Kiawe and learn the traditional dances of Alola-" 
She was practically swooning. 
"Anyways, you looked familiar. My name's Irsia. Oh, I never did introduce myself. I'm a gym leader and Pokemon coordinator." 
She gives a small bow; Gardevoir and Grookey do the same. 
"Well, not *Exactly*. But I do love grass types."
Tim
*Red looked at how their Pokemon interacted with each other. This gave him an idea. He would bring out Charizard!* "Grar!", Charizard waved at Gardevoir and Grookey. "Rrar?", the fire type looked at Blacephalon with curiousity. *It's not like any Pokemon it has seen before. The orange creature circled around it*
Maureen
Blacephalon bowed back, like a show performer. It was curious about Charizard as well and launched its head into the air. It got a good look of Charizard. It made its signature... Alien like? Sound.
Eileen
Hau looked at the Pokémon, " Ice to meet you Irsia! That thing you're looking at is a Blacephalon, and Ultra Beast. Or just another alien. I got it back a few months ago! It's very hyperactive and is always curious about who it's meeting. It's nice though, so don't be scared to say hi to it."
Maureen
Almost in instinct from the word "Hi" It made a wave motion.
Bryan
"There's so many different types of Pokemon," She gasped, looking up at Blacephalon. She wasn't sure her Pokedex would even register it. She needed to update it anyway. She smiles and waves back. Well, Pokemon were pretty amazing with their abilities to become friends with humans and Hau seemed like a sweet boy. 
"Hello!" She waves to it. She wondered if she should let out any other pokemon. If one came out then all of them would. She wasn't familiar with their policies about having them out anyway. Grookey really just held on to Irsia for now.
Tim
*Charizard clapped at Hau's Pokemon. It was quite an interesting specimen! Red tried checking Blacephalon on his Pokedex.* 'No data found', the Pokedex stated in a robotic voice. *No data? Red should update his Pokedex... (It did only list Pokemon from the Kanto region.)*
Bryan
"I want to keep looking around. Have you two been around the place yet? I hear theres several places to eat and shop." 
It wasn't often she could go out and just do those things. Besides, she'd be more comfortable knowing these kids wouldn't be getting into mischief, even with their titles!
Ricardo
"We've been to a few places!" Iris laughs sheepishly scratching the back of her head. "Although, Red and I did get kicked out of the restaurant! Er at least Raihan took us out. We sort of... Had this competition when it came to sharing ramen."
Tim
*Red reminisce about that time in the restaurant. He and Iris had a eating competition. In the end, the two had ramen spilled on them. With a notebook and a pencil, Red drew out ramen noodles and showed it to Iris and Irisia.*
Debra
Entering the plaza, Raihan spots Red Iris, and Hau. Not Anvi yet. *"Ugh, I wonder if they waited long. Didn't want to take time doing my hair, but I hafta look good for the pictures!"* Rotomphone flies around and snaps a photo of Raihan as he smirks at it. He had change his clothes into something light. They're at a tropical island after all! He had gel his hair so it stood up, not in his usual tie-up and headband. There seems to be a new person with them. *"Oh no, is Iris annoying her?"* He speaks up once he got close enough to the group. "Heyo, everybody. Sorry for the wait~" He runs a hand through his fade just to show off his new look.
Bryan
"What a nice drawing." She laughed, looks at the drawing. "I wonder who would have won." Was her pokemon hungry? Maybe they were, she looked at the two. "Maybe we could try the bakery or the ice cream parlor. Something sweet sounds really good." She thought to herself. And then there was *Him*. She could see him approaching them from a good distance away! 
She was already going for her phone in her pocket. Gardevoir sighed, but she knew Irsia was excited. 
"You're Raihan, Galar's final gym leader! I'd love to have a picture with you." 
She looked up. Damn, he really *Was* Tall!
Tim
*Flipping to a new page of paper on his notebook, Red drew a picture of a strawberry shortcake. It indicated that the boy wanted to go to the bakery. He was wondering if Iris would want to go there as well. (Her hair does look like purple cotton candy.)*
Ricardo
"Ice cream does sound good but I would love to see what's in the bakery too! Cakes of all kinds! Or those fancy macaron cookies that Grandpa Drayden refuses to buy for me!" She was in awe thinking about it until Raihan came over. "Aww you didn't call him thigh guy!" Iris puffed up her cheeks. "Anyway what took you so long Raihan? We we're dying just waiting for you!" Iris exaggerated laughing a bit.
Debra
Raihan's smile gets wider when *Someone* Greets him excitedly. "Of course~" He would pose for the picture with his signature "Rawr." He forgot that he was in a private island where there wouldn't be any fans to bother him. But, Raihan would be lying if he didn't say he missed the attention. He hears Iris complaining. "Ah? I was getting myself good looking, see?" He winks at Iris. "Kids really are impatient, aren't they? Oh?" He returns his attention to the stranger. "Who are you anyhow? I doubt you're just a regular Joe."
Bryan
"Perfect!" She sings, lifting up her phone. She definitely looked smaller. She looked to Gardevoir and gave her a sweet smile. She shook her head but went over anyway. This wouldn't be the first time and certainly not the last. At least Raihan was cute—
*Wait— she was married!* Gardevoir just sighed and floated a bit, now being high enough so both were in the picture. Irsia posed as well. She snapped two and then gave the phone back to Irsia."Thank you, babe!" Irsia grinned, talking to both Raihan and Gardevoir. 
"Me? Oh, no one important." She waved it off, putting a hand to her cheek. "My name is Irsia! I'm a gym leader and coordinator. And this is my Gardevoir and my little Grookey." She introduced, seeing Grookey hop back into her arms. 
*Anvi was on the way! Just trying to find his way around.*
Ricardo
"Wow! You're a coordinator?" Iris's eyes sparkled. Although it wouldn't be something she would personally do, pokemon performers were so mesermirizing to see on television! But being a trainer and a coordinator at the same time! "Miss Irisia we have got to see you perform sometime!"
Opal
Finally, Sonia arrived, she decided to leave her trenchcoat since it was pretty warm out here. She just stepped next to Raihan and stayed quiet, it seems like they were having a conversation and she didn't want to interrupt.
Tim
*Red nodded along with Iris. He's been battling all his life. What's it like being a Pokemon coordinator? The boy always watched Pokemon contests in television. From the looks of it, contests take a different approach to using Pokemon moves. It's creative!*
Bryan
"I am!"
Gym battles were definitely more popular but contests were a lot more fun to do, especially with all of the effects. She was genuinely surprised to hear that people enjoyed watching contests. She puts a hand to Iris' head. "I don't think I have a lot of our usual gear, but it'll be fun to do some improv. Maybe you two could join us! Grookey would love to practice in front of others." Ah, the orange haired girl was easy to notice. Seeing how she stood close to Raihan she was sure she knew him. Wait... Was she...! She didn't know her name, but she did see an announcement about her recently. She gave her a wave.
Debra
Raihan moves his sunglasses on top of his forehead. "Contests are something different. It shows that there are different ways for Pokémon to enjoy themselves. I'd like a live performance myself. Although, I rather expreriece it. You hafta teach me sometimes, but please be patient when the time comes~" He sticks his tongue out teasingly. He would snicker shortly after seeing Irsia rest her hand on Iris's head and he in return leans over to use Iris as a armrest first himself. "Oi, Sonia, have you seen Anvi? I expected him to be out here before me, too be honest."
Opal
She smiled and waved at the female. "Anvi? I don't believe I've seen him." Yamper was running around them, just jumping around and having fun.
Bryan
"Absolutely! Don't think that the workload is any less either." She waves a finger. She's shown more than a few people who tried to put down the profession. Anyway, she was relieved that Anvi had met such a nice group of trainers. And so well known! "I'll text him. He might be wandering around." Irsia didn't seem to be too surprised about it. 
"How cute!" She was immediately distracted by Yamper running around. Grookey seemed anxious to join, so he hopped out and playfully chased after. Swablu finally arrives, sitting on Raihan's head. Oh, there were flowers around here...? No, that was just a cloth pattern. Wait!! 
Swablu's wings fluttered quickly as she noticed Irsia. Anvi was running to catch up to her and skidded to a stop. 

Sonia, Raihan, Iris, Red... And **Irsia?!**
"Anvi!!" Irsia held her arms out and picked up Anvi, swinging him around. She puts him down.
 
*"I'm so glad to you're here! You really need to visit Fornestair more often!"* She signs. 
*"It's nice seeing you too, Miss Irsia. I will soon."* Anvi had a big smile on his face. It seems like he's a little more relaxed, too. *"Did you meet everyone here? They're very kind. I'm glad I met them."* He then signs.
Debra
Feeling a small pressure on his head, Raihan peers up at what it could be. It might mess up his hair, but who else would be able to reach his hair none other than- "Ah, Swablu. That must mean the lil' man is nearby." Speak of the devil, he is. Irsia and Anvi seem to know each other as they reunite like son and mother. That's when they used sign language to communicate. The dragon trainer lets out a low whistle. "Wooow, how convenient. Now you can translate him for us, ey, Irsia?" Raihan says this as part of a joke. Maybe the fun part is them trying to figure out what he's trying to say anyway.
Bryan
"I could, or... You guys could learn a little signing too!" She hummed. Anvi nodded. He would have liked that since there were tons of little things they could learn.
*"Isn't he cute?"*, Irsia signs. "*That's embarrassing!"* Anvi shook his head, his hands going around his face as his cheeks flushed. 
"But yes, I'll translate for you if you need it. He should have his phone with him though. Perhaps he forgot it when he went to the pool with you. And make sure you still face him when you talk to him!" Irsia had to make sure of that. Ah, her mom was really coming out now. 
"Sweets! Bakery! I'd love to have a snack. Let's go!"
Eileen
"Hi Raihan!" He waved to Raihan, his Blacephalon doing the same. He had just finished up his malasadas. "Oh! Before you guys head in there you should consider buying malasadas! They're an Alolan delicacy. Really good treats for you and your Pokémon. If you get the right flavor for you and your Pokémon, it might boost your friendship!" He smiled.
Opal
"Wow! A Blacephalon!" She walked over to the Ultra Beast. "How intriguing... Did you catch this yourself?" She turned to Hau with her hand on her chin, *'What an interesting boy..'* She thought to herself.
Eileen
"Yes, I did! Several months back I had to give it to a research group! And I got it back a few months ago!" He looked at Blacephalon. "It's really intriguing actually! It's really smart, but really dangerous. It's head can explode! It doesn't die though. Ultra Beasts are definitely curious creatures... I wonder what the others are like! I bet Selene or Elio," Once he said Elio his face blushed a little oop- "Could tell me!" He smiled.
Debra
Hau waves a small one back at Hau. "Malasadas, hm? I was thinking of going to Alola one day. I wouldn't mind trying them." He watches the Blacephalon with minor interest compare to Sonia. It looks like a clown to him. In a good way, of course. "At first, I thought they were tacos or something. Who knew they are actually just fried donuts? If that's what's considered a sweet bakery snack for ya, Irsia, then we might as well." Raihan hears these description on the Ultra Beast and his eyes widen before taking a step back. "Y-ya sure it's alright to have it out and 'bout like this then?"
Opal
She took out her phone and took a picture of the Ultra Beast. She then turned to Raihan, "Don't tell me you're scared of it! Look at it, it's a real sweetheart!" She turned back to Blacephalon and gave it a smile, Yamper was curious about it too and he walked up and looked up at it.
Eileen
"I think it's fine? It hasn't hurt anyone other than other Pokémon in battle. It's pretty strong!" He smiled and watch the Yamper walk to Blacephalon. He took out his Rotomdéx and scanned it. "Good thing I updated it before I got here! An electric type? Cool!" He smiled.
Maureen
Blacephalon took off its head yet again and scanned the Yamper for itself. It's very curious. It bent down and waved to it. Very human like.
Opal
Yamper sniffed it's hand and poked it with his paw. Giving little adorable barks. "Yeah, Yamper's been my partner for as long as I can remember!" She took out her notepad and started writing down some stuff about Blacephalon, just so that she can make note on it.
Bryan
Malasadas, she remembers having some when she visited. So sweet, so addictive. Her family was disappointed when she forgot the bag at the airport when they went home! It's a wonder why they weren't popular abroad. 
"I'd love to have another one, it's been a while. Or perhaps try something new... I've been wanting to try different flavors of Alcremie cream." She looks to Anvi and explains a little more of what was going on. She knew he could pick it up, but there were many people talking. 
"Well, things tend to be a little frightening when we don't know about it, it happens." 
She reasoned, looking back at Blacephalon. When Yamper went to investigate, Grookey was tugging on Irsia's pant leg. 
"I guess it isnt unusual for Pokemon to pick up human gestures. But your Pokemon has a pretty good understanding of them." Irsia noted. 

Irsia should have just carried her phone in her hands seeing that she'd be taking so many pictures today. She snapped a few too.
Eileen
"That's because Blacephalon isn't really a Pokémon, it's more of an alien if anything. But somehow it got caught in a Beast Ball. It's really weird too! It's like a Pokémon but it isn't!" He responds, "Blacephalon is a very human like Ultra Beast, some of them can look like a wall! Like... Hm... Stakataka! That's the only other one I know—oh, and Nihiligo! Actually I know most of them... Hah." He scratches his head.
Opal
Her eyes sparkled, "Wow! I'd like to find out more for my own research! You should come visit Galar some time!" Yamper seemed to like the idea and he started jumping on Hau's leg as if it was saying *'Yes, please visit so I can get more attention!'*
Debra
"Ain't ya a smartie about.. Ultra Beasts?" He taps Sonia's shoulder. "Maybe you should kidnap him back to your lab after this vacation, ey?" It's a joke, and hopefully she will get it. But it seems Sonia already has the idea of Hau visiting. The two are so giddy talking about Pokémon. He replies to Irsia while they ramble on. "Alcremie Cream? Sounds good! I haven't really ate anything sweet yet, but I know that one will hit the spot." It has a different assortment of flavors. Strawberry, blueberry, chocolate. For some reason, Raihan finds himself proud that Irsia wants a taste of Galar.
Eileen
Hau bent down to pet the Yamper. "You sure are full of energy, but that's expected of any Pokémon!" He giggled. "Like my Raichu!" He grabbed a PokéBall and sent out his Alolan Raichu.
Maureen
Raichu hovered around Blacephalon, happy to see it. "Raii!" It called out and zoomed over to the Yamper. It seemed curious about this Pokémon.
Eileen
"What's an Alcremie? Is it a type of brand?" He asked. He wasn't all too familiar with Galar Pokémon. "Or is it a Pokémon? Hm..." He kept thinking to himself.
Opal
Yamper was excited from the attention and started jumping around Raichu, he then jumped on his head and stood proudly. Sonia took a picture of the Alolan Raichu aswell, "A floating Raichu... Very interesting!" She never knew how much she could learn just from leaving home, maybe she should go on vacation more often..
Bryan
"A Pokemon, dear." Irsia confirmed. 
"I wish we had more delicacies like that. We have lots of things imported to our region, but I'm sure its nothing like it is from its home." 
Shes thinking about the coffee drinks and creams they had back home, with at most 30% of Alcremie cream because of how expensive it was. "It's very cute, so is its pre-evolution."
She searches for the entry on them and shows them to Hau. 

"I'd love to try them all! But pacing. Sugar crashes aren't a preferred way of spending my time, even if naps are good." She spoke to Raihan. She glanced at Gardevoir, who seemed indifferent about it. Either one would be fine. "How cute! Alolan Raichu certainly have an aesthetic advantage over other regions." She thought to herself.
Eileen
"So cute!! I want one now..." He sighs. "Are there different flavors? I heard you guys mention it." He asks. He seems curious on how this Pokémon became so popular in Galar.
Bryan
"Plenty of flavors!" Irsia almost sings. Not only where there many different tastes, their combination of sweets to make them look different was really interesting. More contest stuff, so she wouldn't bother with the details. 
"Mint, Lemon, Caramel... And any flavor you'd like if you want to add to the Vanilla."
She would love to train one someday. 
"Its amazing how they evolve. Did we teach them to mix cream or did they teach us?" She laughs.
Ricardo
"Wah! That pokemon reminds me a lot of Vanillite back in Unova. They don't come in different flavors though, or at least that what Grandpa told me. They're like pure shaved ice!" Iris snickered. "I've always wanted to lick one, but I was always told not to." At least that's what Drayden always said. She's bets that old man had at least one lick in his lifetime.
Debra
Raihan takes a moment to think how a Alcremie evolves... Before laughing out. He hides his face in his hand. "Oh it's interesting, alright! More like a secret." He puts a finger to his lips. "Ya know your stuff of sweets. And a Vanillite? If you lick one of those, I bet your tongue would get stuck on it. Actually, that'll be funny. I'd love to see you like that, Big Hair." He jabs Iris with his elbow. "Anyhow, let's not wait any longer. I don't wanna be drooling like a Yamper. Haha~" He kneels down, his height temporarily short as he also joins in with petting the electric-type doggo.
Opal
Yamper rubs against Raihan's leg and let out an adorable bark. Sonia put her hands on her hips, "What are we even doing anyway?" She smiled when she saw Yamper having a good time. She kneeled down and joined in on petting the doggo.
Tim
*Red snickered at the nickname Raihan gave to Iris. 'Big Hair', definitely suited her well. He looked at Iris, confused about that Pokemon. There's Pokemon that taste like ice cream? He was wondering if he should bring out Kadabra so can have a scoop out this 'ice cream' Pokemon*
Ricardo
Iris crossed her arms "Well actually Big Twig! That's why Castelia cones exist! They're really hard to get, because by the time you wait on that line they're all sold out." Castelia cones was a speciality modeled to look a lot like Vanilite, that's why they're so iconic! "But I had the privilege to have some and let me tell you they are legendary! They have this unique vanilla flavor that's hard to describe. You'd have to taste them yourself to understand."
Bryan
"Well, if we want to go then you all have to start walking." Irsia reminded, now following Anvi as he walked into the direction of the bakery. Their group was certainly getting larger with each moment they stood there. That wasn't a bad thing, but it meant that they should keep moving so they didn't block anyone else around them.
Charlie
While walking through the busy streets of Sigville something immediately caught Cynthia's eye, making her smile. 
'Yes, ice cream, finally!' She grinned, happy to see her favorite food was not lost, no matter where she went. Although she found the strange Pokemon on the sign and from window strange, it was rather endearing.
After picking up the best thing she'd seen all day, she started to wander around, not sure what to do. Yeah, outside of the rare trainer battles, she still wasn't sure where to go. Too many options, Cynthia reasoned.
Though the city plaza had been nice, she decided after a while that sitting outside just staring at others wasn't the best idea, and was about to head off, when she noticed a bakery. That wasn't what caught Cynthia's attention though. It was the young trainers who were also headed there. Finally, someone she could talk to. So, without much else to do, she followed them. Hopefully in a subtle way.
