Thankfully, it was the afternoon. Aside from his usual daily dallying, Leon was set in course on relaxing. He's been questioned for training on a vacation island. But, if it's being productive, what's the harm? Sooo... To the beach! Well, it was supposed to the beach at the beginning. But something caught his eyes as he drifted along the skies on his best friend, Charizard's (John), back. At first, it looked like a Pokémon—a Snorlax even, as lazy as this thing sat within the woods. Squeezing the neck of his Pokémon partner, he whispered in a hyped voice to John. "Hey, look over there!" Funnily, in all of his time on the island, he never took the time to explore the forest. It's even weirder he even *Missed* This thing.

The grip from Leon's hands weren't light, and John's soft murmurs and spurs of smoke from its nostril jostled Leon from his daze. "Let's have a detour! There's no way I would get lost with you around, huh, buddy?" Landing in the dense of the forest—Charizard's wings got caught. Apart from using them to fly and battle, they might as well be as flimsy as a kite. It's the same effect as when someone smacks your funny bone... You're going to be stunned from it. Thus, John tumbled forward and Leon fell from his seat, face first. 

Not like a little spit and mud would do the trick. And, it's not the first time his mug was slugged... From the ground *Either.* Even though his wings was caught, Charizard was safe compared to his trainer. He's sympathetic as he lands next to Leon. Rolling with it, Leon sits up, hair filled with dirty leaves. He gives an assuring chuckle to John in case he felt bad, before looking up to the building in front of him. Or, what was left of a building. It's crumbly walls are barely standing, but strangely, they give off this immortal vibe. For a second, he stared, disappointed it wasn't a Pokémon. Something like this would catch the interest of Sonia or Hop, sure, but Leon could at least admire it. "It wasn't a Snorlax at all."

"OK midas! You know the drill! Use out techniques and see how fast you can get to the ground!" Chris shouted up into the sky, the wind catching her hair a bit as she squinted in the light. Midas circled overhead, doing a for more rounds.

In a moment, he curved, using steel wing to give him more weight, curling his wings around him as he spiraled down like a high speed drill. He was almost to the ground in seconds, setting off an air cutter last moment, using the force of the move to correct himself as he slammed his feet into the ground, roaring triumphantly.

"Hell ya, midas! Thats what I like to see!" Chris shouted, vaulting over one of the crumbling walls, running towards him. She was in full champions uniform, thin black cape flowing, the ruby and sapphire on the clips glinting in the light. She stopped in front of him,"That was your best time yet!"

Midas puffed proudly, but froze when he heard the commotion, turning his head to look in the direction of the sudden guests. He puffed out some smoke, his one eye observing them as the mega stone in the other socket shined in the sun. 

"Well, what are those dumbasses doing?" She hummed, having looked to see what had caught her charizards attention.

After staring at the crumbling dirt of a tower, Leon got back up on his feet while brushing himself off. While he did, he heard some shouting over yonder the ruins. *"Someone else is all the way in here?"* He thought to himself, glancing to John to see if his buddy picked up on the voice. Like any good ol' pal, Charizard puffs itself up, wings spread open to show dominance. On the contrary, it made Leon snicker to himself. It brought back memories of his Charmander days when the little Pokémon liked to play tough. "No need for that," Leon told his Pokémon aloud and rubbed his snout. "Probably just a trainer and their Pokémon training. Nothing new—" And as soon as the words left his mouth, dust kicked up, covering his vision momentarily.

Once it cleared, Leon heard even more shouting, louder than before actually, and he wipe his arm across his eyes to see better. Someone like... Like him?!—was close. Except... It's like they had their pallets changed or something. Jumping to conclusions, Leon sprouted from his position, eyes wide, and a smile taking up most of his face. "Whoa, is that a shiny Charizard I see?" He walked close, ignorant of personal space, and went to pet the charcoal-colored Charizard's snout. "Hey, buddy. I'm Leon! From Galar!" Observing this, John was a bit jealous—as it is when another Charizard is around. Enlightened from the sight of the shiny, Leon overlooked the female standing nearby it.
Clarence
Midas pulled his snout back, confused. He looked between leon and Chris, giving his trainer a *Did this fucker really just try to pet me?* Look. Chris laughed,"Um, you might want to actually ask him first before ya go touching." She hummed, leaning back to rest on one of the crumbling walls. 

"It also seems your charizard isn't liking the lack of attention" She hummed, looking at john." Seems like quite the pissy lizard now actually."
Diana
Feeling the other Pokémon pull back, Leon was a bit surprised before he heard the words. "Aheh, sorry about that! I get distracted easily. Your Charizard has a cool coat. I heard shinies are rare." John huffs a puff of smoke from its nostrils and Leon smiles back at his partner before giving him some of that smothering love he gave the other. "But, they're not any more special than the regular ones." John perked up from this and took that moment to press and purr its head against Leon. "Just like best friends, you'll always make up! I don't think John was *Mad* At all."

Now having the full view of the girl, be noticed her cape and it once again brought him back assuming. "For a second there, I thought you were dressing up... As me!" He puts his hands on his hips, and stood straight to appear taller. "But seeing it now, I wouldn't wear something like *That!*" He meant it in the best way possible! Leon liked his coloring scheme and how it seem to embody his whole character. For the other, it could be the same. Yet, Leon doesn't clarify this, so it's open ended if he meant to insult her or not. But just like in many situations, he either too oblivious or too slow to realize.
Clarence
Chris and midas looked at each other for a long moment,"Was that ment to be a compliment or an insult?" She laughed, standing back up straight. She tapped her boots, each adorned with a mega stone, and fixed her two gloves, also holding mega stones. She held out her head,"Nice to meet you. Names Chris Maratin, Champion of the Kadena region. This is midas, my half blind charizard" 

Midas blew a bit of smoke into her back, and she chuckled,"Ya, ya, I know. You fly and fight like any other charizard, even with the depths perception issues..."
Diana
"A fellow champion, huh?" Leon could definitely see it. And training with a blind Charizard too? That took some dedication and skill. He silently applauds her for this, seeing this as something he can better himself in. Maybe he can try training his Pokémon without using their eyes and then their other senses would heighten! This Charizard wouldn't be effected by moves like Sand Attack because of this. He hold his hand out for Midas as if asking to hold the Pokemon. He's been a sucker for petting Pokémon since he's been a kid. Touchy, almost clingy at those cold nights. "You're a hardworking Pokemon, Midas. It'll be an honor to battle you and your trainer," He says, staring at the fire/flying-type with determination.

Hearing this, John, picked up its head and stare right at Midas too. Not in such a grateful way like Leon though. There it is again with its tough boy act. That's the charming point of him. "This is John Cena!" Leon announced, his voice cutting off all the seriousness earlier. "I named him after my favorite wrestler. And he carries the name well too, isn't that right?" He holds his partner's face in his shoulder. This time, John looks unamused. When it came back to that, he disliked the name. Good thing he likes this *Idiot* Enough to accept it. "Anyway, *Champion*, what are you doing all the way out here? Surely a more open field would be a better choice for training?" He tilts his head to the side.
Clarence
Midas thought a moment. And then pressed his snout to leons hand, looking at him with his good eye. 

"Just doing a bit of training. I specialize in move usage and adaptability. Pokemon moves are actually extremely versatile with how you use them. You can throw an opponent completely off guard, or combine moves for powerful attacks" She hummed, rubbing midas's wing. "He haven't practiced with him mega evolved though. Don't wanna accidentally break any of the ruins" She hummed.

Wow this guy was enthusiastic. She could help but take another look at him from the corner of her eye. She felt like she had seen this leon before. He seemed nice enough.
Diana
Leon almost shouted out in glee, but instead he laughed and gives Midas a full-on hug. John snorted as if in a "Good grief" Kind of way, but he let it happen. There's no harm. "I love the element of surprise. Actually, any emotion within a Pokémon battle is always so special to me." He press Midas to his chest and place his face in the Pokémon's head. "Mega Evolution? I've heard of that. My friend Sonia mentioned it before. Ah, but I'm not able to do that..." He sounded a bit crestfallen while talking in the skin of Midas, but once he lifts up his face, he's still beaming with that same energy.

"Wouldn't it be nice, if we had a mega evolution and Gigantamax battle?" He's looking closely at a Chris, waiting for her answer. Mega evolution always looked amazing when Leon observed the videos from other regions. A few of the champions and even Red himself knew how to do it—and Leon can't help but admit he's a bit jealous of them. Maybe asking for that is a bit too much since he's has Gigantamax already but hey. Why not dream more?
Clarence
"I don't think their are power spots in this region like galar. But if you ever wanted to invite me over for a match, I'll gladly give you my number" She smiled brightly. This doofus was adorable.

Midas awkwardly patted leons back, looking at john. *Is he usually like this?* He asked in their own language, not even used to stuff like this from his usually very cuddle trainer.
