Irsia gave one last look behind her shoulder as she and Alli walked away. She really hoped things weren't going too badly. She really hoped that Leon would come back soon. Agh, there she went, She wanted to be the mother that listened to everything. "Oh, it's so cute." She blinked, looking around the small shop. There were tons of things to look at and try on. She looked down to Alli and smiled. "So, what do you want to look for in here?"
Kenneth
Pulling Irsia away from the argument was kind of harder than Allister had initially thought. It was probably her mother instinct or something. She wanted to stick around and make sure everyone was okay. But nah, he was just like, 'get over here! Yee!'
They got to the little store, which was honestly full of all sorts of things. Some, like a pile of costume masks, peaqued Allister's interest. And some, like the hats and souvenirs magnets did not.
"Hmm..." He said, slightly tapping his foot on the floor. "O-oh. I know! 'M gonna get a present for Bea!" He hadn't told Irsia who that was, but she'd ask if she was curious. Meanwhile, Allister started digging through a pile of fans. The kind he knew she liked using for her morning warm ups.
Kimberly
Nearing the boutique, he spota Allister 


Never heard of a spota Allister, but M'kay-
Lela
I'll fix it dammit you nazi

Walking away from Monika, his heart is heavy from the conversation he had with her. He wasn't intending to break up with her at first but he felt it was the right move if he didn't want anyone he's involved with to get hurt. Nearing the boutique, he spots Allister and Irsia browsing around. Giving them a small wave, he'd walk over, his eyes also caught on a mask. "Having fun?" He asks them, not so excitedly as he usually would, but wanting to fill any silence upon his arrival.
Lela
Leon was just an Italian for a second
Kimberly
Issa spotta allister! Mama mia
Deborah
"I'm sure she'd like that very much. She sure does look serious, but I'm sure she has a sweet side." Irsia commented. She didn't see all of the leaders battle often, but she did know about Bea. It would have been a pleasure to meet her as well. She wondered if there were little stuffed toys; her kids would really like those a lot. She could always get her husband a post card and write something to him; that would be an easy way to get him flustered. When she heard someone else behind her she turned around and looked up. "Oh, Leon! How did the..." There was something off. Did it not end well?
"Well, I'm glad you two talked. Oh, don't you think your brother would like something from you? There's plenty of little gifts here." She tried to change the subject. Then, she handed him little figures and stuffed toys of various Pokemon.
Kenneth
Throwing the ones he knew she wouldn't like to the side, Allister finally settled of a white fan with some gold embroidery. It seemed to have a more Kantonese or something than anything in Galar. He liked it. He flicked his wrist, causing the fan to open as the boy proceeded to, well, fan himself. Sighing as he did. Aaah, that felt nice. And the wind made the tuft on his head blow back and forth, just a tad.
Allister spun back around just in time to see Leon walk in, looking dumbass as ever. Shaking his head, he shut the fan and crossed his arms saying, "You stealing m' look champi'n?" Before giggling in a way Allister only did when surrounded by friends. He walked past Leon, grabbing the mask the man had been eyeing, and slipping it over his own. "T-tah dah!" He said, doing a little spin. It looked rediculous, and he knew it. But Leon probably needed some cheering up after that conversation, whatever it was about.
Sharon
Leon nods to Irsia. "Yes. I think it was right for us to talk..." He starts before bouncing back to the present upon Irsia mentioning his brother. "Oh yeah! He would actually. I'll also get something for my mother." He grabs the dolls and figures she held out for him, deciding between the items. He was about to reach for the mask too, since it was intriguing, but Allister got to it instead! He put it on immediately, also performing a spin. It seemed that these two knew the weight of his and Monika's conversation, so they're trying to cheer him up. His heart warmed, grateful of his *Friends.* "Uh, Allister...?" He starts to laugh, at first trying to hold it in, before losing himself and keeling over. "You- that looks really silly on you!" It was like he was looking at a little man! Everything was out of proportion which made it even more hilarious! "Haha! Imagine you wearing that during a gym match, huh, Allister?"
Deborah
"She'll love that, I promise." That would be so sweet of him to do! She watched as he picked some things out and nodded. Anything that was here would be nice. What was Alli up to, she thought to herself. She looked over to him and saw the mask. *Where did that mask even come from?* It was pretty amusing! She put her hand to her mouth and laughed quietly. She really did like seeing the child act like, well... A child, even if it was because Leon was feeling a bit down. Hearing Leon's hearty laugh had her laughing more too. "It really does," She agreed. She turned around so she could focus on getting the souvenirs for her kids.

"That name's universal, it fits both of ya." Piers explained while they walked. When Raihan took his hand he couldn't help but walk a little faster. He let Raihan do most of the swinging; he was just there for the ride. "Last place we're goin for the night, then let's get back." Piers was definitely a night person, but with the exhausting plane ride and the amount of things he *Still* Managed to do in the day, he was fine with taking one night to actually sleep. He looks around the little place; it was a little quirky and mismatched. But something drew him in. "We're gonna be in here just for a lil' bit. It might be closin' soon." He pulled Raihan in, now focused on getting something for Marnie. Now, what could he get her. Just then, he caught glimpse of someone; a woman? She was with a child and she was laughing."
"Shit. Shit, oh shit-" He did a 180 on his heels and started walking in the other direction like he didn't see them.
Kenneth
Doing a final spin for good measure, Allister finished showing off the, um, whatever he picked up, and looked at the other two. Leon had burst out laughing and was on the floor, and Irsia was still giggling, probably trying to not make him upset. He wasn't actually upset, or very aware *Why* They were laughing, but at least Leon was feeling better.
"W-wh't?" He said shaking his head. He took the mask off and snickered, seeing what he'd just been wearing. "Ooooh..." After a moment, Allister smirked (kinda, being smug really isn't his thing) before throwing the mask at Leon, slapping him it the face with it.
"Y'know wh't h-here. I... I th'nk i's more your style anyways."
After all that, and retrieving the fan, everyone seemed to be realizing how late it was. The guy behind the counter seemed to realize it too, raising an eyebrow at all the weirdly dressed (minus Irsia) trainers messing around in his shop at like, 9ish pm. Sighing, Allister brought the fan over with him to pay for it when he noticed two men had just walked in.
"H-hey guys," He said, giving them a little wave. He turned back to the shop owner and thanked him for the fan. "L-look out wh't I found!"

**Upon throughout the presences of the several clusters of gym leaders and even the champion himself, unknowingly and well... Of course through out the area was a soft pair of chocolates as they traced around a selection of clothes for the journey ahead, those eyes belonging none other than our dense Gym Challenger Gloria whom she looked around as Marine relaxed in his pokeball himself, her now, ungloved hands going through the selection of jackets and pajama wear, it was about time she'd get new ones as the ones she carried were getting a bit large possibly due to the excessive amount of movement and rummaging through regions ever since the final challenges were called off for break everyone has been on vacation after the fall and capture of Eternatus from the help of Rustic, known as Zacian.

However she had heard Victor had stayed back in Galar, grown a fear of a catastrophe in Galar to ever rise again and he'd be the one to protect those lands, like a knight in shining armor. But that was off the case as Gloria was being rather careful with her choices of wear, the hair stylists were next door too but she decided not to go there for some reason.**
*"* Hmm... No... Not this one... *"*
**She constantly mumbled to herself, thinking quietly as well as she traced her eyes around for a sign of something she'd like without a doubt, and be comfortable wearing as well, feeling the fabrics in her fingers and also taking a close look at the stitching as she did not want any clothes being too delicate for her own usage, strong knits meant long lasting clothes.**
Kenneth
Eventually, having worn down the novelty of the fan, and wanting to take a break, Allister tucked himself away in the back part of the store. It was probably closing soon anyways. At least that's what the young gym leader would expect. As someone who spent a lot of time out and about at night, he knew that many places weren't open after 8:00. Looking at his phone, it was later than that. Well, since he was catching his breath and all, Allister would have expected to be alone in this part of the store, but no. He actually wasn't.
Squinting a bit, the boy lowered his fan in order to get a better look at the girl in the store. And in all honesty, he was shocked. It was Gloria of all people, the girl well known in Galar for her strength as a challenger. He was slightly concerned that there were more Galarians there, aka more people who he actually had to worry about after this vacation. Allister went back to fanning himself. Maybe she wouldn't recognize him?
Emma
Leon audibly grunts when the mask was slapped on him. "Aw, I thought it'll be a good idea. If it'll make you feel better we can *All* Wear masks in the league this year!" He had to get up and dust himself off before bringing the items in his arms over to the vendor. It's a lot of collectible junk such as action figures and plushies. Maybe a defective one in the bunch. He didn't notice Raihan and Piers entering the fray until Allister spoke up to another direction from him and Irsia. Lifting his arm to also wave at them wildly, a few toys would drop from his grip.

Entering the little boutique area, it really felt like a little town within a town. "How mean of ya, P~ Comparing me to Lee like that would get him down that he's not the only *Dumb* One." Browsing the random items, he reaches out for a music box that looks like a Clamperl, before catching a certain brunette in the rows of clothes. "Hey, ain't that—" But Piers was already walking off suddenly. "Eh—what's wrong?" Raihan turns his head and sees familiar faces. "Oii! Howzit guys?!" It confused him why Piers was trying to stay unseen. *"Get your tired ass back here,"* He'd think while cackling, stopping Piers by the wrist.

**With noise ruffling through the place, Gloria's head did seem to perk up for a second hearing mumbling and commotion running through the area, before she slowly turned her head around. Only to result in being stopped by the view of a poke-kid who barged in on the familiarity of her presence, one from Sinnoh to be exact.**
*"HEY!! You're that girl who took down that biiiig dragon pokemon right?? Right?!? "*
**The kid seemed squeamish and excited as he waved his hands around n' all, Gloria being distracted tilted her eyebrow deciding to respond to the kid and greet him, but she had her kind elsewhere as she did catch sight of a certain pair of shoes entailing on the floors of the shop in which her eyes traced up to spot a certain loopy strand of hair poking out from a pale face, though she didn't quite catch a good look at the user's face before she eventually lost interest, after all she really needed to get over this last minute shopping, and she needed to find a place to stay overnight...**
*"* Alright, is there anything else you need...? *"*
**The lil' guy shook his head before scampering off to who knows where as she shook her head aswell, standing back up firmly from having to crouch down onto his level, watching the smaller English boy walk off happily with his signed bracelet leaving the challenger to stand there with a smile, was that something she'd have to deal with when she'd reach the stars? Lovely..**

***Now... About those familiar pairs of shoes...***
**She furrowed her eyebrows before deciding to go over and check it out, before she would purchase the items she had just picked out for her last minute shopping as her footsteps asound, walking around the wooden fences to then spot and eye the unsuspecting presences of not just Leon, but Piers, Raihan, and Allister..? Was that girl with them..? She looks really cool...**

*"* G-Guys...?! *"*

***Who knew I'd find them on the clock...***
