Sunny smiles, relieved that Bailey's pokemon didn't attack him or anything. Basil yawned once more and just fell asleep on Sunny's head, He sighed a bit as he smiled softly. "I guess Basil is just that tired.." Sunny took another bite of his sandwich. A bit impressed how Bailey scarfed down the sandwich. He was curious as to how Bailey ended up here on the Island and how they where allowed in.

"So-" He spoke as soon as he swallowed his food, "Are you an Ace Trainer Bailey?" He tilted his head as he asked the question, Taking another bite of his sandwich once he asked. Either it was the atmosphere or the fact that he was making another friend, he seemed to stop stammering as much in his sentences

He nodded and leaned over to his bag, putting away their journal and pen. Zipping it up, glancing at Sunny when he started to talk. Cracking his arm joints with rather loud cracks but they seemed satisfied. Moving back into a comfortable position, debating on how to really talk as he bit his lip gently. Fighting with their own thoughts but shook his head at Sunny.

"I'm uhh the Ex-Champion of Kanto.. Uhhhh I think they called me the Crying Champion or erm somethin'..." Bailey scratched at his chin lightly as he seemed to be trying to remember. "...Think I lost 'round ten times over to the uhhh elite four at the time..." His accent slipped through every now and then as he looked back at Sunny. Richard seemed to be enjoying herself for once, dropping her guard some more, but she wasn't completely off guard. It's expected of her to be honest.

Sunny was a bit surprised to be talking to a former champion, though the name 'Crying Champion' didn't sound as friendly. He worried if maybe his colleagues looked down on Bailey, it reminded him of his own life back before his own pokemon journey. His head overfills with horrible memories, reality broke before him as he was about to break down, His eyes where blank as he looked at the floor. His mind was filled with white noise, he couldn't breathe. He was drowning in his own despair until..

Basil, his Meganium, Started chewing on his hair a bit. As if Basil could feel the worst part of Sunny's mind slowly try to ambush the cozy picnic they were all having. Sunny's eyes looked as if they shined a bit as he wiped something from his eyes, tears of course. "S-sorry about that... S-so... You where champion? Impressive... I beat m-my regions league... But I didn't want to become champion... So I am the Battle Tower master... It's more strategic pokemon battles with the gimmick of having only three pokemon and such"

Bailey watched him pause and come back from his thoughts, he's been through that but they were never negative. They're thoughts were usually neutral and a sweet blend of positive and negative that doesn't overlap each other much. Nodding, using his fingers as drums as he quietly played them on their thighs. Richard had finally finished eating though and seemed content enough for a nap. 

"Uhhhh... Mm... Uhhh You don't need to really say sorry or nun uhhhhhh... Uhhhhh Yeahh erm, thanks... Same goes to you uhh Sunny..." Bailey had awkward said out, unsure of what to say almost. "..I uh was really only champion to uhhh prove a point to my parents haha..." He forced a small, very obvious, laugh out, looking down at Richard who had laid back on their lap. "Theyyy... They weren't really supportive of me uhh like they didn't approve of me being a ermm transmasc or whatever that term was..." They went to fidgeting with Richard's paws and she seemed to comply quickly. "Soo uhhh they wanted me to head off to uhh erm some school for all girls and wear them fancy dresses with my other siblings... I don't really hate em but uhh I hope they understood when they uh saw me on tv that I'm aa uhhh a person y'know??" Humming lightly to fill in the mood that he felt tensed maybe a little, he continued rambling after giving Sunny a small glance. "...The the elite four gave me so much... Like so much uhh trouble that I ended up crying cause I almost felt hopeless uhhh yeah.. It was great when I finally got to defeat em and get that title since I.. I knew they would've been watching me on tv and all that..." Bailey's nose scrunched up when they realised how much info he laid on Sunny. Mumbling a soft apology to him, feeling slightly embarrassed about themself as he kept himself preoccupied with playing with Richard's pika-paws.
Paul
Sunny kept nodding as he listened intently to Bailey's story, he bit his lower lip as he looked down, he felt as if he was a bit inclined to spill his story too. His Meganium stopped nomming on his head and rested on Sunny's shoulder, to help ease the anxiety of talking about his past. 

"I-it's fine... I...I don't mind the info... Doesn't that bond strangers into friends?" Sunny spoke as he fiddled with his fingers, "Back at home, M-my family really wanted me to be just like them... And there where rules too... I couldn't call my parents Mom and Dad... Instead Mr. Or Mrs.Mayday... I guess I was more a student then their son... I was separated by my friends and was forced to practice every single day... And If I got a note wrong or didn't play it up to their liking, they would..." He didn't want to talk about what they did... "I ran away... I ran away from home once I snapped... I wanted to see my friends again.. But they all moved away. So I became homeless, until the Professor of the region took me in as a Lab Assistant. He gifted me Basil... Who was a Chikorita at the time... And sent me off on a pokemon journey just like that... And the rest I talked about.. Beating the league... Beating the champion... And becoming the Battle Tower Master. But I declined the offer as the new champion... Because I was afraid my parents would find me and drag me down... To the place that scared me most. So I was given a different option... And now I'm the Master of the Tower... And I even became close friends with one of the Elite 4. But... I still play Violin... Because.. It helps calm me down a lot... Even though there are really bad memories affiliated with it.."
Kristen
Cocking a brow at him as he frowned a little, looking at him. Bailey would nod at points to make sure Sunny knew he was listening and would tense up at certain parts of what he was sharing to him. They didn't really know what to say and it took them a good five seconds of pure, long, silence before he did something.

Bailey had sat up on his knees and had leaned over to Sunny and pulled him into a hug. It was pretty fast. Richard had moved over and seemed a little shocked as she watched. The rest of his pokemon glanced over for a moment before watching out of curiosity. Though, Tea rock lost interest rather quickly as the same for Knuckles. Bailey had a rather interesting smell, he smelled of nature like the tree bark mixed with dirt and a couple of flowers and grass. They generally was really warm all around though his sweater was a little roughened from all the years it spent with Bailey. His sweater was the opposite texture of his hair that Sunny could probably feel as it was pretty soft but had a sorta rough texture.

"I-I'm sorry... My story is probably really boring" He started muttering to himself, the white noise fills his ears once more as he felt embarrassed to pour his story out of his mouth like that, He wanted to just shrivel up and become nothing. He felt like eyes where all looking down on him, his past weighing down on him so heavily, he felt like he could collapse. That is, until. Bailey hugged him.

"H-huh?" Was the only words to come out of his mouth. His eyes widen as his nose takes in the scent of Bailey, Sunny himself smelled like freshly brewed black tea with accents of a cinnamon like scent. His arms rested on the ground for a bit, still taking in what was happening. Until they slowly raised up to hug Bailey back. His lips trembled as his eyes squinted a bit, one tear falls from his eyes and down to his cheek as he sniffled a bit. Another tear falls and then another. Sunny's Meganium moved away from the two and smiled a bit as the other of Sunny's team where either shocked or extremely happy for Sunny.
Kristen
Richard had stared at the sight before having a sorta content face, Tea rock jabbing at her to tease her. Pony had smiled and went back to napping as Knuckles awed and had sat next to Sunny's Gallade and Gardevoir. Everyone seemed to be content to some point as Bailey didn't really expect Sunny to start crying.

He almost expected him to shove them off or for one if his pokemon to react negatively since they didn't know his boundaries. Bailey had only hugged him tighter and got themself closer to him feeling that he hugged them back, it was almost a reminder for themself that he was still there. It took him a few seconds again of processing and processing but they started to cry too. Years of isolation and ignored emotions had surfaced with then that he started to ball just like he did when they fought the elite four. He wasn't vocally crying but his shakiness and how he held onto Sunny showed his emotions quite openly, as well as his breathing.
Paul
Sunny closed his eye lids tight, a part of him was a bit uneasy at the fact he was hugging someone he had just met. But at the same time, he was happy he was being hugged. Given affection like this was hard to come by for Sunny. Especially with his backstory and how he coped.

He continued to cry and cry. Finally he calmed down a bit, however he soon fell drowsy from all the crying, A odd habit that happens shortly after a long period of crying as his breath slowed. His grip on Bailey loosened right before falling onto the picnic blanket. Tears slowly dry on his face as his face still had a saddened look on him
Kristen
Bailey had cried their eyes out, it was quite tiring for himself. It's weird how much energy you can shed from letting salty tears come out of your own eyes, how silly. As tired as he was, he wasn't really prepared for Sunny to just fall back onto the blanket. Falling with him as his face almost knocked into his, shifting their body, he had moved to just laying on his back next to him. He felt awkward, what are you even supposed to say after doing that? They already didn't know what to say at first but what now? 

The internally want that had popped up into his head had kicked their other thoughts and before he knew it, he had scooted a bit closer to Sunny. His arm had touched up Sunny's as his hand was just on their own stomach, his other hand fidgeting with their blond hair. Some of Bailey's hair was out of his face slightly so he just kept his eyes closed for the time being, it was too bright for him. Feeling his tears dry on their face slowly, chewing on his lip gently before they spoke up. "..Uhhh tha thanks.. For uhh letting me cry and hold you like that uhhh thoughh sorry if uh sorry if i crossed anything erm boundary wisee y'know..." Their voice was softer and still held a slight rasp to it but they were being genuine.
