"I've challenged a few won some lost more." Al admitted. "Though I haven't had much time to myself after becoming an Elite Four member myself" Al says with sigh closing his eyes. "There was a lot I had to do to help my reigion as there was an rogue pokemon hunter who was slowly gaining power and influence. So a lot of my time was involved in making sure certain events don't happen again along with tracking where he has gone." Al would think back to the stress ful times as an Elite four and how much time he spent tracking and helping out as much as he could, most of the time out of his own pocket.

"Hopefully he doesn't have to pay for the damage. And you..?" Blue raised an eyebrow. "Just said yes..? You obviously don't know a thing about dating. I'd keep an extra eye on her if I we're you... If you have one!" He said half jokingly. "But do what you want.. Back in Kalos, I was asked out lot because I was that old man's grandson also because I was a Champion at some point. It did get annoying at some point. That mushy stuff isn't my kinda stuff," Blue shrugged.
William
"Yeah, I don't..." He laughs it's off nervously while scratching the back of his head. He feels more ashamed from the fact. "Oh, so you're one of those..." He tilts his head and puts a hand to his chin. Once he got the word, he snaps his fingers and point to Blue. "... Pimps?" Leon is almost impressed by this. "Aside from your standing, I don't think you're half bad! As for Monika... I just want her to be happy..." He tilts his hat slightly over his face. *Damn, the corniness is enough to make his chest wrench.* "But if you asked me if I rather exchanged romance for battles then NO WAY. I love battles! Anything about it!" He seems like his usual battle maniac self.
Jolene
"A pimp...?" Blue blinked, he shook his head. "You got it all wrong fella. Pimps are... Well pimps are pimps.. I'm just not those types of people to be into that kind of stuff. There's gotta be more than just a title if you're gonna like me." He sighed, "Speaking of her happiness, you have got to teach her what humor is, because that girl doesn't have any (or self-control-). And just let her know how to ease it off, because boy is she nuts!" He then looked over to Red who seemed to find his way aganist his opponents and chuckled, "I wouldn't exchange a thing if it comes to battles!"
William
"Oh, is that so?" He's slightly disappointed that Blue isn't a pimp just because he's curious in seeing one. He puts his hand to his chin again, his eyes averting to the side. "I'm not sure if it's because she's part of the Rocket gang that's she a bit.. Yeah..." He mumbles to himself. He's ignorant of Blue having been involved with the same gang those years ago. But Leon doesn't go on more of the matter because he didn't want to say things that Monika wouldn't want him to spill. It's all fine when his mind is shifted back from the mentions of battles. "Ah! A man who loves battle is someone I like!" Although it should be obvious that anyone who's a gym leader or of the same-to equal standing would anyway.
Jolene
"Of course. I wouldn't be here if I didn't like battles!" He paused his smiled turning to a bit of a frown, "The Rocket Gang? You mean those ruffians?" With a personality like hers, Blue isn't surprised at all. "Red and I have had history with those bastards. I'd go into more detail, but I suppose now isn't the time for that." He shook his head, whispering to Leon. " Who knows she might be hearing us in her sleep."
William
"You were there with Red, too?!" Leon says almost too loudly. He wanted to hear more but Blue had a solid point. What if Monika was eavesdropping on them? He turns back to the battle for the umpteenth time, only to be momentarily distracted from how Blue might dislike Monika because of her relation to Team Rocket. Maybe he dug a grave for himself in this one. *"She's okay. She's not thinking of taking over."* He wanted to tell Blue. But he decided to hold his tongue for now. Meanwhile, Charizard is stomping his feet and hitting his tail against the ground, making noise as a sort of cheer. It take a couple more moments before Leon gets caught up with the show, that the topic of the Team Rocket escapes from his mind.
Jolene
He pulled Leon closely and said in a loud whisper, "Yeah yeah! Hush up already and enjoy the match. We can discuss this kinda stuff later.." Blue quickly glanced to Monika who seemed like she was still asleep and shoved him away. He sighed in relief, "Thank Arceus." The boy sat back down with his arms crossed observing the battle.
Ronnie
Mimikyu decided to walk up and check on Monika. He jumped up next to her and slightly moved the blanket so that he could see her face. *'Is that a tear?'* He reached up and wiped it away. *'Probably just a nightmare.'* When he was about to walk away, Monika quickly opened her eyes and grabbed him and pulled him towards her, snuggling with him like a doll. *'Oh, oki.'* Mimikyu slightly adjusted so that he could get comfortable and also closed his eyes.
Patricia
After a little while, she sat up with Leon's cape over her shoulders. Mimikyu also got up and jumped in her lap. She sighed and patted him on the head, then set him down on the ground. She put her knees up to her chin and turned away from the battle. Mimikyu looked up at her, *"Is something the matter?"* She didn't respond, she just kept on staring at nothing.
William
So Red and his partner's Pokémon combined moves. It amazes Leon with how well they seem to be working together along with Raihan and Iris. At first, he wondered why Raihan didn't just switch into Flygon so that the Earthquake wouldn't effect it, but the raining iced rocks would've been fatal if he switched out to the dragon/ground-type. He must be saving Flygon for later. When a loud howl rip through the area from the Lycanroc, Leon winces but doesn't cover his ears. This slightly jars him from the battle when Leon spots Monika awake at his peripheral. "Oh, you're awake!" He reaches to pat her back. "How was your nap?"
Patricia
She flinches after feeling his touch and looked at him. She tried to smile but wasn't doing very good, "It was... Good.." She was refusing to make eye-contact with him. She used his cape to try and cover up her face some more.
William
*Eden leaves and that leaves just Cam idly walking around the area with Conchampion and Lucario still playing around with a few of Monika's Pokemon nearby. Cam watches out of the corner of his eye but it isn't very obvious, whilst his Pokemon just continue to have some fun along with the others on her team, though they seem to be a lot more energetic and curious besides maybe Marshadow.*
Jolene
Blue glanced at the two. Hopefully she didn't hear a word from their conversation, or at least- it seemed her pokemon were awake at that time. He shook his head. Back to the match- It looks like Red and Anvi finally turned the tables. Combination moves seem like something that coordinators would do, but to do it in battle is rather unique.
William
Leon could tell she wasn't feeling good, so he tries asking her while pulling the cape from her face. "Monika, you've been off ever since... For a while bit now. Tell me what's wrong." He tries to sound gentle but turns out sounding stern instead. He takes in consideration of Blue's words, hoping that she didn't wake up in the middle of their conversation and overhearing the Team Rocket bit. There's this sense of dread from hearing her answer, though. Which is strange for the Galar champion since he rarely feels that way.
Jolene
As the boy observed the battle, it seems Iris and Raihan were at a tough spot in addition into that Hyper Voice and Blizzard. Trying to keep it nonchalant, Blue continued to keep his eyes on the match. One look and Monika can already be suspicious of him. *Damn do you run your mouth off too much.* He thought to himself. *Probably should have kept quiet about my own personal grudges..*
