"Well, then I know why there would be a random Tyranitar, sure gave me a scare, ha!" *The Galarian girl didn't take offense and wasn't angry in the slightest, she put her hands on her hips.* "Eh, it's fine! I just decided that while I'm here I could train my Pokémon! Squirtle is more used to the tropical life, so I went to this little islet here!" *She gave a toothy grin,* "I'm pretty used to islets too, especially due to my time on the Isle or Armor!"
Jean
"Isle of Armor...? Oh! That explains your gi! A student of master Mustard. It's been a while since I've met one of you." *Marcus bows cordially.*
Emily
"No need for the formalities, sir! I'm simply a girl. Heck, Victor and I weren't the intended students, the two were scared off by Klara and Avery, aha!" *She chuckled, smiling,* "Master Mustard trained me hard, I was disappointed to hear that legendaries weren't allowed here, Urshifu and I worked really hard." *She sighed, but her smile didn't leave her face.* "Well, since you knew Master Mustard, or at least heard of him, I will introduce myself!" *She cleared her throat,* "I'm Gloria, Challenger ku-fu-ku, 929! It's a pleasure meeting you... Whoever you may be."
Jean
"Pleasure to meet you Gloria. I am Marcus, but you can just call me Mark." *Or "Mountain man Mark." Jesus fucking christ look at the size and build of this man. He offers a friendly handshake to the challenger with a complimentary grin.*
Emily
"Okay, Mark! Anything else, I should know about you, other than being a dad stereotype?" *She shook the man's hand before putting it at her side,* "Well, first off, I am Galar's best chef! Well—teen chef. I used to be called the best junior chef before I hit fifteen. I am also one of the five—well now four—main challengers in the Galar League!" *She was obviously proud of herself, especially with her own proud aura emitting from her.*
Jean
"Hm. Well, if you consider simply being a tourist relevant information, then you likely can already tell!" *Marcus was not one to brag about his champion title or simply name drop it.* "Ah, Galar's best teen chef! Quite the prestigious title! I'll have to try one of your dishes sometime! And a main challenger... Incredible! Training a new team here, are we?"
Emily
"I don't really keep up with things out of Galar, heck, I only know of a few champions! Leon, Diantha, Iris, and another trainer from Alola! I usually keep up with Galar News and things like that!" *She scratched the back of her head, her cheeks warming up in embarrassment.* "Oh, yes I am! I caught these guys a while back, three of them from the Isle of Armor, actually! Thought I would train 'em in a familiar environment!"
Jean
"Ah! It has been a while since I have seen those three. We only get together to meet over serious issues." *Marcus sighs ever so slightly.* "Good to see! It's nice to know trainers such as yourself are doing their best to take care of their Pokemon." *Marcus kneels down to the Pokemon's level.*
Emily
"Wait... You're a champion?" *She asks,* "That's so cool! And thank you. I always make sure to give them lots of love, just like any living creature needs. A little a bit lovin'." *She closes her eyes and sighs, her sigh content.* "I guess I got that from my Mum and Dad. They taught me how to cook before I ever thought of cooking as a career... 'The main in ingredient is love. So always make sure to give it lots of lovin'!' is what they always told me, guess I applied it to other things I'm compassionate about."
Jean
"And good advice it is! Love is what makes the world go 'round, no? Well, that is what I heard from my compatriots, anyways. Though I suppose you're proved it here in both your profession and with your Pokemon." *Marcus stands up straight, cracking his back carefully as he does so.*
Emily
"Why, thank you Mark!" *She giggled,* "Love is what makes the world spin. I find it crazy that people would think they can rule people with fear and strength alone..." *Gloria thought about Lear from her time on Pasio. What a lost soul. She shook her head and her smile came back.* "Anyways, what's being a champion like? And what region are you the champion of?"
