Hugh was just looking out for what the island has to offer. So far, it truly is like a vacation and he had seen familiar faces shopping at the plaza or hanging out with other ones he doesn't recognize. When looking back at what he had done, Hugh met with people he known, not much of new people besides that one kid back at the mansion. While taking in the nostalgic day, he heard shouting beyond the trails and Hugh got interested. That's right. There are some of those who are battle maniacs and *Train* On their days of vacation. He can't be thinking that when he's the one who started a battle the first day he came here. Not wanting to get a surprise attack in the face, the spiky hair didn't sneak up to the other trainer. He made it apparent that he was there. The rustling of bushes were loud as he made his way to witness this training. 

He read that trainers could come here to train. That being evident with the marks that are on the trees. *"Imagine if the trees all got blasted away. Would they plant new ones?"* These rich people could do anything and that has Hugh even more astounded. After watching a bit longer, he's gotten bored but stayed in the sidelines. Would it be a bother if he interrupted this person's training? Looking closely at the other's Pokémon, they must be some kind of bug-type specialist. That, or they're just a bug catcher- which makes it even funnier if he's a strong one in that. Hugh's own Pokémon wobble in their Pokéballs, eager to see for themselves. He was one to challenge his own rival to see their strengths, so this wasn't an exception if they sense a powerful trainer nearby.

*Eugene's pokemon were back at it, Scizor and Heracross in an intense clash as Eugene circled around the fight slowly, shouting directions for Heracross to attack, leaving Scizor to make decisions and dodge on its own.* "Heracross! Use close combat!" *Eugene yelled loudly, as he pointed at Scizor.*

*The Heracross roared its own name as it charged the red metal bug. Scizor raised its strong claws as they turned to a sleek, silver metal. Scizor's signature move, metal claw. Heracross launched its flurry of punches, but they were all blocked by the heavy metal shields that Scizor's claw became.* "Megahorn!" *Eugene shouted, and as Heracross touched down with the ground, it slipped its large horn under the bug, before launching his head up. Scizor was sent flying into the air. As Eugene looked up, waiting for Scizor to makes it move, the Scizor used what little power its wing generated to stabilize itself and point its claw down.*

*Scizor came crashing down like a meteor, and slammed into the ground, leaving a dust cloud over Heracross and Scizor. As the dust cleared, Heracross's big horn was pinned to the ground by Scizor's left pinser. Eugene nodded.* "Good job Scizor. Great technique on the recover in mid-air. You've gotten so much stronger." *Too busy praising his pokemon, Eugene didnt even notice Hugh nearby.*

Hugh already knew this- that Pokémon battling can cause pain to the Pokémon but damn. He can't help but cringe every time a Pokémon takes a fall or hit. Call him crazy, but he felt like he could feel pain- especially his own Pokémon when they're attacked. Hugh continues to watch. There really isn't any reason for him to show himself. He thought it would be best for him to continue watching. It was interesting to see how others train their Pokémon. Experience comes from many forms such as wild Pokémon and trainers. It's another thing to make Pokémon train with their own partners. It was a good sparring decision. Well, nothing is gonna happen if he continues waiting, so Hugh went ahead and showed himself. His wild hair is hard to miss. 

Like any trainer's ice breaker, he says, "You have strong Pokémon." No duh. Not just anyone would be invited on this island. "Your Pokémon did their best. Are you going to rest now?" There was something he wanted to give them for their hard work, even if they're not his own Pokémon. It should be by mutual feelings, but Hugh approached the team anyway.
Jessica
"Heracross needs a break." *Eugene said with a flat tone of voice as he returned the beetle to its pokeball.* "But do you want to take a rest Scizor?" *Eugene asked the question with a joking tone, as if he already knew the answer. Scizor responded by yelling its name out ferociously as it raised its claws. Bashing them together.*

"Scizor is not one to stop training so soon. He'll keep at it until he faints. I'd have to force him back into his ball if i wanted him to stop." *Eugene explained simply, looking at Hugh with a questioning expression. Why was he here?*
Stacey
He scoffs at that. "That's hardcore. What got your Scizor like that?" Nonetheless, he kneels down next to it and digs in his fanny pack for the item. It was a Pokepuff. A pastry known to be made in Kalos, yet Hugh invested on learning to bake them himself back home in Unova. What's more, he tested it to have the same taste and properties as the famous Casteliacone- also back in Unova. "Having to train until it faints... I feel bad for your Pokémon." He didn't mean to say it as if it's suffering from this trainer. ~~Or does he?~~ Hugh believes a Pokémon takes after their trainer. If they want to win, a Pokémon will go by all means to win. Although seeing how the other was training, he didn't believe the guy was a bad one. 

It does seems strange that this random teen popped out of nowhere and is treating this whole thing like they're old buds. What if the pastry was poisoned? But Hugh didn't look that suspicious, did he? Even if his eyes are squinted and mean looking. "Name's Hugh. I'm a trainer from Unova. Who are you?" He says as bluntly, his expression not wavering under this person's scrutiny. "Your bug-type Pokemon... I'm going to go on a whim and say you're some kind of bug-type gym leader."
Jessica
"Former Kalosian bug type leader, former PR Star. Im just a trainer now." *Both Eugene and Scizor eyed the pokepuff oddly, they werent exactly used to treats. The Scizor let out another roar as it hopped from one leg to another, holding its claws up as if it was about to box.*

"Scizor has always been like this. Ever since i raised it from a Scyther. Always battle hungry, and me and him both want to get stronger. So he doesnt like to stop getting stronger. Think of it as his way of coping with a large loss we had together in Kalos." *Eugene explained as Scizor shot some jabs forward in the air, its jabs were kick, even considering its heavy claws would usually stop that quick movement.*

Hugh nods at the trainer. He didn't catch his name but at least he got his position. "Heh. So pretty upstanding, huh? Being former, either you got beat or you stepped down." But seeing the solid punches from Scizor, maybe it's was the latter. Some trainers found other purposes in their lives besides just defending a title. "I see." He smirks. "Must've been hard to catch him back when he was a wild Pokémon them? If he was so battle hungry?" Hugh could feel the wind of the punches from all the way here and he imagine what it would feel like when his face caved in from them. Taking a step back, he still held the Pokepuff. "Look, if you guys are going to take a break, at least let them have a breath of fresh air." It's not in his place to tell another person how to raise their Pokémon but he wanted to scope this trainer's other Pokémon out. "Meanwhile, you can meet my friends too."

His Pokémon finally come out of their Pokéballs, crying in greet. They look intimidating but they wouldn't hurt anyone... Unless told to. Then again, that would just be the villains. "Kid, you remind me of me." Calling the other a kid is a habit of his- even if they could be the same age as him. "Ruthless, but I eased up a bit after my journey."
Jessica
"...Yeah. Maybe thats a good way to describe me and Scizor." *Eugene pondered this sentiment for a second, glancing at Scizor. Was this really what Scizor wanted? The determined look on its face it always had confirmed that for him. Shaking off any doubt left by the comment, He stared at Hugh's team, inspecting each pokemon indivuadally.* "Quite the impressive team. I must say." *Eugene offered the compliment, but his tone of voice did not help him win any generosity points.*

"Scizor, well, Scyther at the time. He helped me when i was kid. We bonded, and like then me and him battled alongside eachother. Me and my team, we've been through each gym leader in Kalos. Raised them since they were young." *Eugene figured he'd return the setiment, letting out his team too. Heracross sat on the ground, still tired from its bout with Scizor, but Armaldo and Accelgor were raring to go. Accelgor positioned ontop of Accelgor's head with its arm crossed as Accelgor stared at Hugh's pokemon. Volcarona hovered above Eugene, providing just a small amount of heat that comforted Eugene to no end. Of course, Yanmega buzzed around each of the released pokemon with scarily impressive speed, before landing on Eugene's hair and staring at Hugh.* "My name is Eugene, as you could tell, im a bug specialist."

"Just like every trainer, huh?" All trainers bonded through their journey, but apparent this—Eugene, was it?—had Scizor when he was little. "My partner Samurott is a Pokémon I raised from an *Egg*. Our bonds are quite close too." Seeing the Pokémon team surround the area, Hugh brought out even more sweets. He always had them in case for his own Pokémon. Plus, it came with visits to Liepard that made him keep them on hand. Just in case a feral Pokémon didn't need a battle, but treats to keep it at bay. 

"That's really neat. I went through all the gyms of Unova too, but only so that I could get stronger. I didn't even take the elite four at the end. There was no point by the time. My goal of getting more strength was just so I could protect the ones I love. And you? What made you go out on your journey?" He wondered if he was being nosy, asking all of these questions besides the other. If he wanted him to leave him alone, he would have to tell him.
Jessica
"I just wanted to prove that bug pokemon are strong! Thats what Scizor and me always want." *Eugene and Scizor traded a knowing nod.* "My other bugs feel the same. Together we're going to show the world what we can do." *Eugene said with a determined smile, his other pokemon almost returning the emotion with smiles of their own.*

"We beat the kalos elite four, but lost the champion. That broke both me and Scizor's spirit. But here we are! Taking a well deserved vacation." *Even though he had just been training, he speaks as if theyve been relaxing.*
