He averted his gaze for a quick moment, He knew better then to run off and start battling especially when he had promised his team a break. This was just as much as their break as it was his and they all deserved a rest. His Absol curiously stood up from its resting place only to cautiously walk by its trainers side and look up at the ghost type trainer. "You could say that." He wasn't the kind to allow conversations to circulate around him, "My, I can't help but be curious about where you're from." He mused with slight thought

"I'm from... Lavenza Town... But these days... I usually live on the road. I'm honestly surprised... They managed to send me my invitation... Guess that's how it goes when you own... An island." As she finished speaking Lavinia's shadow once again moved. This time her gengar, who had been hiding in there revealed itself and its cheshire grin. Lavinia smiles and gives it a rub on the head. "Gengar has been my partner... Since before I even became a trainer." The gengar chuckles and waves at the two dark type pokemon and their trainer before slipping back into Lavinia's shadow, leaving its head sticking out. "He doesn't really like being out... In the sun."

Lavender town, ah yes he knew of that place! It was kind of creepy. Now he couldn't help but feel certain that the trainer was a ghost specialist, but who was he to judge? "Ah so you must be up and about a lot I presume? Like a wandering trainer perhaps?" The man said thinking aloud. "Still, I bet that you're a real strong trainer to have made it here." How shallow. Whenever it came to the topic of being invited to this island... He just felt bitter. He didn't know why but it just rubbed off on him the wrong way. Why invite strong trainers? His eyebrows raised slightly as the gengar peeked out. He certainly hadn't expected that to happen. "My isn't that sweet? The two of you must be close." Grimsleys Absol seemed to jolt up in a defensive stance as the Gengar popped in and out of the shadows. As for his Houndoom its tail wagged excitedly
Tomas
"We've done a lot of wandering... Challenged a few leagues too. But I suppose... Everyone here has done... Something similar... To get invited." On some level Lavinia also had similar bad feelings like Grimsley. Inviting gym leaders, elite four members, and champions was one thing but getting as many strong trainers in one place as there was is something that was easy to be suspicious about.

Ah well he ended up accepting the invite anyways, might as well enjoy himself before any havoc and mayhem started up. "Oh yeah? I could only imagine... How many regions have you been to?" Grimsley asked the young trainer, subtle interest laced in his voice. Perhaps he was just being nosy... Or this was general conversation.
Tomas
"So far... Six... Seven if you count Orre... Which I plan on exploring more... After this event. I was planning on going to Alola... But I hear there's a lot of sunlight... So I don't think gengar would like it." The mention of the bright Alola sun seemed to make gengar shiver, causing Lavinia's shadow fluctuate.
