```A bit of relaxation wouldn't hurt anyone, would it?```

During his vacations on the island, Ilima decided to have a walk through the mansion, as he didn't fully explore it yet. Mayhaps it was because he was too lazy to do anything which was understandable, he most of the time stayed in his room or at least he stayed in his room for the first days as he needed some well-deserved rest and time for himself. Though, now that he was feeling better and was alive and kicking, he pondered as to whether or not he should take a walk in the mansion which he quickly decided that yes he should. 

As curious as he was, he couldn't help but to trail his eyes to the gorgeous and fascinating tapestry papered on the walls. Sometimes he just stopped walking to look at them in further details: in fact it wasn't the kind of tapestries you'd find anywhere else, it was rather pretty and shining. He found beauty in a lot of things, and he absolutely adored any kind of art although his favorite form of art would probably cinema. 

After a while of walking he found the living room at the end of the corridor he was walking through, at first he curiously and *Maybe* Shyly peeped his head through the doorframe only to see that there was nobody except a young boy with dark hair sitting on the couch. He couldn't identity what he was doing just yet, nor could he identify who this boy was. But as sociable as he was, he decided to take a step forward and walk over him with the sweetest smile one could offer.

"Ah, my apologies, but are you all alone around here?" He questioned as he was wondering where the others were.

The young Kalosian boy had stayed in his room for most of the time, not because he's 'edgy' or whatever but just because he usually panics so much when interacting with others he just chooses not to if possible. Of course he *Does* Go outside, usually to places that his Pokémon like so that they can be happier and calmer, so he usually didn't go to places inside the mansion. This time however, he noticed how the living room was empty and he decided it could be nice to take a rest in there.

Currently, he was asleep, sitting upright on the sofa as his Espurr drooped over his shoulder, the small psychic type purring as it slept. Upon the pink haired male speaking to him, he jolted slightly in supprise. He was obviously scared, but the calming and gentle aura of the older person calmed his nerves quickly enough. The Espurr which had also been woken up hissed protectively, it only stopping when it's trainer pet it softly.

"U... Uhm... I..I believe so Monsieur... And it's ok, I... I really don't mind.."
Nicole
``` An unexpected encounter. ```

The Alolan man didn't expect such a sudden reaction from the younger one, jumping bit slightly in surprise before sighing a little in relief afterwards, it really did surprise him, he wasn't used to such reactions. If anything, he didn't notice that he was asleep until then. 

The blue eyed man noticed that he seemed quite scared at first but quickly calmed down. It made him chuckle slightly as he was slightly amused by his reaction.
"Ah, my sincere apologies, I did not mean to wake you up." 
He apologized in the most polite manner one could, bowing slightly in respect before taking a look around himself, taking in the decor and disposition of the room. It was rather big and bright, the sun filtering through the windows illuminated the room nicely and warmly. 

He smiled at the Espurr that hissed at him, not scared in the slightest. He remembered seeing Espurr's when he was doing his gap year in Kalos. By any chance, would this boy be from there? 

"Oh dear, well if you do say so then I believe you." 
He replied before gasping slightly at his "Rude manners" Or at least what he considered rude manners. Plus he kind of wanted to get along with the people around here. 

"My, oh my! How rude of me, I didn't introduce myself. My name's Ilima, I am from the Alola region, it is nice to meet you." 
He introduced himself, still smiling brightly at the French young trainer.
Anissa
"I... It's really alright Monsieur.."

He murmured, moving to the side a bit incase they wanted to sit down, not mnding if they decided to or not, maybe it should be about time he talked to more people and got himself out of his shell a little more. This person seemed really polite and kind, they spoke in such a gently way too that didn't make him uncomfortable like most loud noises seemed to do.
Tilting his head slightly to one side, he smiled softly and shook his head lightly.

"O... Oh no Monsieur, y... You weren't being rude at all, My name is Calem and I'm from K... Kalos. Th... This here is Espurr, it's nice t... To meet you.."

He motioned to the little grey cat on his shoulder, which huffed in annoyance at being woken up and scambled up onto it's trainer's head, hiding under their red cap and mewing angrily to themselves.
Nicole
```Two calm entities```

The pink haired one didn't mind staying up, especially when he spent half of his time lazily laid down in his oh so comfortable bed. But as he didn't mean to be intimidating in any shape or form, he decided to sit down next to the Kalosian one, still wearing that smile that always decorated his pretty face. 

Ilima was the kind of person you'd indeed easily talk to, he was very open-minded and kind with absolutely anyone, he was a little naive, and probably too kind but for now he didn't recall anyone using of his gentle behavior to their own good. 

His voice was the kind of voice you would probably fall asleep to, it sounded so calm and relaxed, so collected and filled with gentleness. 

He smiled at Calem as he introduced himself, nodding a little.
"Well, that's a pleasure meeting you, Calem. Please, quit such formalities, you can call me Ilima!" 

But as he motioned the Espurr, he gasped slightly and joined his hands together in slight joy. 
"Ah, how adorable!! It seems to be rather shy, and quite mad that I woke it up." 

He spoke before chuckling slightly. 
"Kalos you say? What a coincidence! I went there about one year ago, how wonderful it was! Such a beautiful region filled with lovely people."
Anissa
"O... Ok Ilima.."

The ravenette kept his soft, it not slightly anxious, smile on his face as he gave a little nod. He felt calmer around them already, most people he had met already were rather energetic and intimidating but this one just made him feel safe. He gave a very small giggle, not minding at the small feline Pokémon's paw peeked out from under his cap.

"Th... They're a little stubborn, b... But it's alright, I don't mind.."

The Espurr gave a mew from it's supposed hiding place, either agreeing with it's trainer's statement or still being annoyed. Probably not at Ilima, but this little kitty had about a billion and one grudges going for it.

"Oh, y... You went to Kalos? I... It is very wonderful.."
Nicole
```"April in Paris, this is a feeling."```

He noticed that the more he talked to the young trainer, the calmer he got which relieved him: he didn't want to be seen as someone aggressive or anything. 
The soft and anxious demeanor he detected from him only brought a soft smile on his caramel colored face, giggling just slightly as he spoke. 
"Oh indeed I can see that." 

He replied,before taking one of his PokéBalls from his belt, having a little Eevee pop right out of it, already settling down on its trainer's laps, letting out a little happy cry to the trainer that sat next to the older one. 
"Perhaps Espurr and Eevee can get along? They're both quite stubborn." He stated before laughing a little at the thoughts of his Pokémon's usual behavior. Such a little trouble maker. 

"Ah, yes yes! I went to Kalos for my studies and I couldn't be more enchanted and delighted to have done so. It was probably one of the best decision I've made so far." He mentioned, before tilting his head to the side a little,blinking in curiosity.

"If that's not too intrusive of me, where are you from?"
Anissa
The young boy waved a little at the Eevee, his blueish-grey eyes sparkling as he'd never been so close to one before. He remembered an old friend by the name of Serena had one, but he lost contact with them a while ago and he hadn't seen them since. He hadn't seen his other friends too, Trevor, Tierno and Shauna, he missed them and he wished he had told them where he was going.

The Espurr peeked it's head out at the call of another Pokémon, giving a little gasp and scampering down it's trainer's arm to give the Eevee a hug, purring immensely. It seemed to like fluffy things and the normal type it was cuddling was no exception, although it had nost definetly forgotten about personal space.

The ravenette giggled softly at it's Pokémon's reaction, looking up at Ilima and rubbing the back of his neck awkardly.

"K... Kalos, I lived there for my whole life, a... Although I only really got out of my house m.. Maybe a year or so ago.."
Nicole
``` "Under the bridges of Paris" ```

Noticing the boy's reaction, Ilima couldn't help but to smile softly. He always adored when trainers or people in general looked at Pokemon with such care and joy, it brought him some memories he thought he had lost in the depth of his mind. 
Ilima did have friends,the others trial captains were all lovely people, along with the Island Kahunas, they often had a huge dinner together at least once a week where they shared together what happened during the week on each other's island and such things, they shared such great memories and it honestly saddened Ilima that he'd soon have to retire. 

He worked hard, a lot too. But Arceus knew how much he loved his job, it was always so gifting and refreshing to meet new people and teenagers. He was the first trial captain you had to come across, so he perhaps saw more people than his colleagues. 

His attention got caught by the two Pokemon that interacted together, softly petting his Eevee as he was being hugged by the little Espurr. He couldn't help but to scratch the little cat softly and gently behind his ear, such a soft little one! It made him gasp and smile brightly and happily. He loved Pokemon so much, they simply just brought him so much joy practically no one else could give him. 

"Ahh how adorable!!" Hd couldn't help but to say with a little chuckle. 

Though he quickly reverted his gaze to the blue eyed one, nodding in understanding. 
"Oh, a young trainer I see! Perhaps we met one day? The world's so small I wouldn't be surprised if we did!" 

The Eevee that just has been hugged let out a happy little squeal, itself purring happily against the Espurr as it brushed its little head against the other's. They seemed to get along quite well indeed!
Anissa
Calem looked up at them, nodding as the Espurr softly bapped Ilima's hand away from it's ears before nuzzling it's head against their hand. It didn't really like it's ears being touched, probably because of the whole "Espurrs need to keep their ears tightly folded at all times otherwise their mass amounts of contained power will go absolutely god damn haywire" Kind of thing.

"O... Oui, Espurr may not be a Pokémon I... I use to battle, but they help me in many different ways.."

The psychic type mewed proudly, giving the Eevee head pats just like it's trainer often did to it. Calem gave a little nod to the Alolan trial leader's other statement, smiling to himself and hoping that they did manage to cross paths at some point in the past.

"M... Maybe... A..Although I'm sure your other friends would of kept you busy, s... Someone as nice as you would have lots of friends wh... Wherever they went.."
Nicole
```"I'm so fine wherever I go"```

Although the pink haired boy sure was social, but his work kept him busy from any distraction although as previously mentioned, he didn't complain as he really loved his work and his duties. Such a dedicated man he was. 

He gasped slightly as the little one bapped his hand away and nuzzled against it, giggling a little at that sudden cute motion, petting the kitty ever so softly and gently, treating it with care and affection. He always acted this way with these little ones, they just made him so overwhelmed with joy. 

"Every Pokemon has their own purposes and I admire the way you found one for this little Espurr." He spoke kindly, letting out a short chuckle through his thin lips. 

The Eevee seemingly giggled at this little gesture the Espurr did, brushing his head up against the other's little fluffy paw in joy and happiness. 

"Oh well, dear. I do have friends indeed though I am afraid my duties as a trial captain keep me way more busy than they do. I did meet some incredible people in Kalos indeed, perhaps do you know about professor Sycamore? He's quite the interesting kind!"
Anissa
A trial captain? He'd heard of them before but he'd never expected to actually *Meet* One, if they were all this nice than Alola would be such a great place, he might even go there when he's older! He actually found this person inspiring, then again he found near enough everyone amazing whilst he thought incredibly lowly of himself, but he tried not to show it much infront of Ilima.

"M... Merci.."

The boy mumbled as his psychic type, cat-like Pokémon mewed happily from both the pets and making it's new friend happy. Despite most people finding it's appearance (mainly it's blank sort of gaze) a bit off-putting along with the fact that it most definitely could destroy the entire planet if enough of them (along with both genders if Meowstic too) unfolded their ears all at once, it seemed to just be like any other feline Pokémon.

"O... Oh, oui, I... I do! Th... They gave me Marisso a... And Salamé..E... Espurr too, although I... I don't know why they wanted to give *Me* Them.."
Nicole
``` A figure to remember. ```

You'd say Ilima was quite an inspiring person indeed: he was successful, had a great job, graduated and even got the chance to go to Kalos for his studies. Studying abroad was really something he loved, in fact he learnt French when he went there as he stayed over for so long. 

"Oh but you don't need to thank me, darling. I am talking with all the honesty in the world." 

He replied, petting the two Pokemon that were so close of him so nicely and gently. A trainer that cared a lot for his and other's Pokemon. 

Once he heard Calem mention the two Pokemon, he tilted his head to the side slightly as he tried to remember some things. Oh.. *Salamé*... It sounded like Salamèche! And *Marisso* Sounded like Marisson, which were both of Charmander's and Chespin's french name. 

"Oh I see!! You've got a Charmander and a chespin on your side then! I heard they were great companions, but yet again every Pokemon are amazing. However, you shouldn't worry too much as to why Sycamore gave you these little ones, perhaps he probably saw potential within you that you don't even see in yourself. Though I can tell that you are a very kind and caring trainer that loves his Pokemon as if they were your children." 

He complimented with a smile on his face, a genuine kind of smile that only reflected honesty.
Anissa
"O... Ok Monsi- I... I mean Ilima.."

He smiled at their compliments, his cheeks going a little red from embarrassment. He was only used to the professor and occasionally his old friends complimenting him but it coming from someone like Ilima? It felt like a wierd fever dream, but one he didn't want to get out of at that.

"O... Oui, they're evolved now a... And they do care alot about me... Heheh... I.. I've become more of their cnild now.."

The Espurr mewed, nodding and grinning as it let go of it's new friend and climbed onto it's trainer's lap, pointing a paw to it's chest proudly and holding Calem's hand inna protective manner, which only made the boy blush more and get all embarrassed.

"Aww E... Espurr.."
