Maybe Leon didn't care, his mind distracted from the words of Allister. Didn't the same thing happened the morning before? They were eating breakfast and kind of got in the mushy mood. But, it's not a bad thing to start the day with! This time, though, Leon is silent until John landed and let the two off his back. "It's hot today," Leon observes and tilts his snapback over his eyes a bit to shade. "Let's get inside quickly for the air conditioner!" Stepping in, the cool wind greets them and Leon sighs, grateful for it. 

As both entered, a camera trained on them and a screen next to it showed what they look like on TV. Leon doesn't take notice of this and points toward the men department of the store. "It says 'men' over there!" And even though it's clear as daylight, Leon manages to get them in... Lost in the costumes part of the store. "Uhhh, wrong turn?" He nervously chuckles, and turns away from Allister. This whole time, he haven't really share eye contact with the boy ~~feeling shy?~~ If Allister sees him as a big brother, he has to start acting like one!—is what his mindset is. Leon was about to backtrack to the men department but something caught his eyes! It's bright and orange—a Charizard onesie! The champ *Zooms* To the outfit, grabs it from the hanger, and holds it out in front of him. 

"This is just so fantastic! Come look, come look, Allister!" He's being rather loud, causing nearby moms and their kids to turn their heads to see what the fuss is about—only to see a grown ass man being more enthusiastic than the child he's with. "If I was younger, I would have tried this on." Leon digs for something else on the hangers. "How about this! You should try some of this on! How about a Charmander, huh? Huh?" He holds a Charmander onesie over to Allister, eyes full of expectations.

He really hoped they didn't end up in the woman's section of the store again. Allister didn't think he could take the shame anymore. They would walk in, get Leon something, and probably hang out and break stuff, let's just be honest. It was *Them* After all. But when the showed up, and Leon immediately headed for the costumes, Allister's interest was piqued. He reached for something along the lines of a creepy clown. (Why the hell were there Halloween costumes) But then Leon suggested something that he... Honestly would *Never* Wear.
"A Ch-charazard costume?" The boy asked, completely unamused. He wanted to run away, yelling, "YOU CAN'T MAKE MEEEE!" Bu then settled on a better idea!... It wasn't 'You can't make me.' It was, 'You can't make me! Without anything in return." Allister's eyes settled on something, before he turned back to Leon with an idea.
"A-alright... I-I'll try on that thing... If you try on... This!" He says, holding up a bunny costume. It was clearly meant for woman trying to impress people at costume parties with excessive amounts of leg. And he intended for the champ to wear it, if he was ever gonna go anywhere near that ugly Charizard outfit.
"L-let's switch."

"You don't have to if you don't want to!" Leon exclaimed, although his words don't match with his actions as he's practically shoving the Charmander onesie in Allister's face. "You could be the first evolution, I can be Charizard—we'll be a pair, come on!" Leon is partly salty that he couldn't have gotten something like this when he was a little kid. It would have been cool ~~and cute~~! He's not one for cameras as much as Raihan, but he'll definitely take a picture with the two of them—

*"A-alright... I-I'll try on that thing... If you try on... This!"*

Leon wasn't expecting Allister to *Challenge* Him. The champ was looking at his phone, setting up the phone app. So when he glanced up to see such a *Demanding* Piece of wear, he yanked it down from Allister's hand. "Wh-why were you holding something like that!" He scans the surrounding area for people and some mothers—thanks to Leon's voice—are glaring back in distaste. Leon drags the boy to hide behind a set of other costumes. "That's a steep price to just dress in this *Fantastic* Costume. What's wrong with it? I think it fits you! You're small and what everyone would call cute enough!..." He dares check out the bunny costume again in his hand. "While this isn't going to work on me at all..." Just staring at the darn thing got the champ blushing like mad and he hides his face in his palm.
Lynelle
"I-it's not fantastic!" Allister complained. "It's stupid lookin!" Look, maybe Allister:Leon grew a up a huge Charizard fan or whatever, but Allister certainly didn't. He was more into... Well a lot of things, some of which weren't obvious at first. He of course liked Gengar, and Machamp was pretty cool, if not a little weak. He loved wooloos, and for some reason. (and no one knew this.) The tiny, already adorable, ghost type gym leader, who always complained about normals... L o v e d eevee! Their fluff, their cute lil faces! It was his favorite non ghost pokemon in the world! And that stung, since he saw an Eevee onesie right next to the thing Leon picked out for him. Heck, he'd seen little boys in Galar wearing something similar. 
"Th-that's a steep price just to dress in this fantastic costume," Allister said, repeating Leon's words in a joking tone. "B-besides, you're... Um... Hot or whatever, so it's perfect for you..." He didn't mean to sound weird and stupid like that, but he did... Whoops!

"Hmph." Allister pouted a little, before taking the outfit and walking off. Where was he going? Dressing room? No... "C-c'mon!" He called, pulling Leon by the arm and dragging him off with him. They would probably be able to grab a few more things before trying all the stuff on. He finally was able to drag them to the men's section, and started looking through clothes. "Hmm... W-what did you need again?" Something that hopefully didn't make him look like a waling fashion disaster... Maybe it was just Alli being a stylish kid. (in his own, weird, gothic victorian way) but Leon's outfits were kind of an eyesore...
Evelyn
Leon thought he was smart when he retorted with, "If I'm hot then that proves the Charizard costume would look good on me-" But he wasn't able to get his point across before Allister lead Leon to the right side of the store. The men side. "Oh, so are you going to wear it?" Apparently, though, Allister wasn't and instead asked what Leon was looking for. "Something that'll make me look good, obviously!" Leon answers. He grabs a blue plaid button shirt. "How's this?" And then red sweat shorts with white streaks down the sides. Casual *And* Flexible! Of course, going to the fitting room now with just one pair of clothes would be a waste. Time to look for more! A striped tank! And then some slacks! Oh, since they're on an island, what about sandals? And—WHOA. What about...

Socks with sandals? *Perfection*. And maybe it'll be even better with those toe socks. Rainbow colored stripes. ~~Ya gotta support the gays-~~ *So amazing.*

Now Leon isn't necessarily bad at fashion. More that he's bad at combos. At least, that's what he believes. He can easily put on a suit and tie if they've been put together before. "Have you gotten something you want, Allister?" He haven't forgotten about the promise of buying the boy whatever he want to replace the coat he had unintentionally ripped.
Lynelle
He didn't really care what Leon was after. Nothing could be worse than what her wore on a daily basis, and Allister was... Pretty desensitized to that mess of an outfit. He picked out... A stupid looking pair of shorts... Okay, not like that was out of the norm. Then he grabbed a tank top, which had stripes that DID NOT match with the rest of it! Alright, fine. Not like his normal top matched with the bottoms anyways. It couldn't get any worse, right? ...Right? And then... Socks and sandals? SOCKS AND SANDALS? Rainbow socks that didn't even match! Yeah, *Hell* No! Enough was enough. Was it bad if he just-

"N-NO!" Allister demanded, slapping Leon in the face. Hard. He dove for the outfit and ripped it out of Leon's hand, holding it away from him so the champ would never get his hands on it again. The boy then reached to grab a pokeball off his hip, (Good think his holster fit under the frilly jacket) and ordered, "Moon g-get out here." 
The Mimikyu appeared, and immediately had the disgusting mess shoved into her face. "E-eat this." Allister ordered. She nodded, and a hand reached out from under the fabric, snatched the outfit, and seemingly chewed it up. Leaving nothing behind...
...
"Um...'m gonna have to pay for all that..." Allister sighed, burying his face in his hands. He closed his eyes, but he could still see the multi colored mess whenever he thought about it. Ugh, he was frickin *Cursed* Now!

"O-okay...'m gonna be... As *Gental* As possible when I s-say..." He sighed, wondering how to best phrase this so as not to upset Leon. "W-worst. Fashion. Ever." It was almost as if he *Tried* To make it look so bad, that anyone who chased them here over that stupid mirror from two days ago, was gonna walk the other direction.
Evelyn
He was actually slapped. Like, a right hook to the face but with a open palm. It didn't sting the man as much as it surprised him. The smile he had disappeared, his lips just slightly parted. Allister even went so far as to feed the clothing to his Mimikyu and Leon could only stare in shock from it all. They really have to pay for all of that now. The boy seemed really distressed, though, and has buried his head in his hands. Leon got worried. Was it really *That* Bad. "Uh, um, no good...?" But it was clear when Allister mentioned it was the worse. The Galar man nervously chuckles and backs up from the boy, going for another rack of clothes. "I'm not sure how to dress sometimes but I like to have it all." He picks out a polo shirt and put it against himself. "Comfortable and casual, but also good enough to move around in." Oh yeah. He remembered asking Allister for help on his fashion before. "What do you think will fit me?"

He's willing to try anything on. Even if it's something he wouldn't prefer. Ah, well, Allister would know what's best! Leon should try harder too. Or—"We can skip me and do you, first." Leon is already starting for the boy's section. "I might have an idea of what you should wear!" And oh boy, he sounds pretty enthusiastic with his "Ideas."
Lynelle
No good? No good!? Leon just committed every fashion sin in the book, and he was asking if it wasn't good!? That dumpster fire of an outfit hardly counted as clothes to most sensible people. "Okay... L-leon..." Allister started, taking a deep breath so he wouldn't start screaming at the guy. He picked up Moon, and placed her on his shoulder while he tried to explain what went wrong. "Y-you need help. 'M not t-trying to be mean," He gently said looking away. "B-but... You k-kind of created... The worst thing ever..." He shuddered. And Moon's hand reached out from under her hood, stroking Allister's face as she said, *"There there. It's gone now."*

"Mkay... Right. S-so... First of all. *None* Of it matched." He explained. "Y-you can't wear seven different b-bright colors... Doesn' work like that." He simply said. The gym leader looked around the store for a moment, trying to gather his thoughts, before he settled on something. It wasn't... Anything like what he would wear, but it was probably the best they were gonna find here. He pulled a dark red leather jacket, black jeans, and a purposely worn black shirt of the rack. "Mmm... T-try this. All the colors are the same. Not too many patterns." He held out the clothes, which, no, Allister didn't check the sizes, but they would have to hope for the best.

*"I might have an idea of what you should wear!"*
"A-absolutely n-...Wait." Allister tipped his head, thinking of what he could do to save Leon's soul... "Yes... I-I picked out somethin' for you. N-now you find something for me." That couldn't be... Too bad, right? Leon already had an example of what the boy liked, seeing as Allister himself was in the room.
Evelyn
Leon takes the clothes that Allister have offered him, quirking an eyebrow. Yeah, to him, this seems like something that won't even fit the man's image. But. He might as well try it out since Allister took the time to select it for him. Leon didn't check for the sizes, too, oops. "Trust me, Allister! I'll make sure to think really hard on it!" In the boys section, Leon skimmed through the wears... Crud. They all look the same to the champion's eyes! Yeah, he saw what kind of clothes Allister has back in his room but he's not sure if he'll be good at pairing! Okay... Think. Not a lot of bright colors or patterns. After canceling all that out, it was easier for Leon to decide!

Glancing at Allister from the side, he starts getting the "Goods". A plain black shirt with a tacky wording of "COOL DUDE" In big white letters at the front. Nice. And a dark long jacket with a fur hood! It looks epic to Leon's eyes. Finally, black pants. And what's good without a matching cap to accompany it all? There! Nothing that stands out too much, mainly one color, and a theme. *Hip.* Is Allister going to be proud? He drops off the clothes in the shorter boy's arms. "Is that style or what? Let's get change then!" Leon genuinely hopes that Allister tries it out just as he's about to try out this fashion.

The champ goes into a changing room before Allister could voice any concern. When he re-emerge from within—DAMN. Leon's got to admit, he looks mighty' *Slick*. Getting full of himself once more, he would swipe some sunglasses from a display and put them off. And of course, his beloved snapback is still on. He stands by a mirror closeby and fixes his jacket. "Whoa, you know your stuff! I feel like a new person." Would this be something he should wear for today And funnily enough, everything fits ~~besides his chest area being a bit tight from the worn black shirt—he'll find a better size~~. "Ah!" He mustn't forget the most important piece. Leon puts back on his cape. "Better!"
Lynelle
Following Leon, Allister's face softened, knowing that he might have been a bit harsh about his friend's fashion choices. That didn't mean he regretted his actions, heh, no-. But he didn't really complain with what he had picked out. He reached out his arms and had a bunch of things dropped in them. A coat, a shirt that he wouldn't really wear and some pants that were... Actually really good! He was going to have some clashing time periods, since Leon didn't exactly pick out shoes... But the boy could live with it.
Allister shrugged, nodding a little as he followed Leon to the dressing room. The man was looking like a whole different person now. More sleek and trimmed, without all the unnecessary stuff. And yeah, he put the cape back on, but the kid didn't mind. ~~Maybe he just loved snuggle the fluffy cape, don't judge!~~
Allister tried the outfit Leon picked out for him, and well... Sizing is... Mildly important... As he found that everything, even the shirt was falling off of him. Well, that wasn't good. "Um... Leon?" Allister questioned, tapping the champion on the arm. He held out his hand and the problem was immediately obvious, since the sleeve of the coat covered his entire hand, and the back went all the way down to the floor.
It was... Admittedly cute, seeing the little gym leader buried in a pile of fabric with the hat sticking out. Since the fur collar covered his face, only the top of his mask, just above the eyes was visible.
"Um... C-can we find a different size?" He suggested, shuffling in the direction of where he thought the clothes were from. It wasn't that way, in fact- Allister ended up walking into a wall. "Ack!"
Evelyn
Leon was mainly picking out the average boy size and forgot how tiny Allister is! So when Allister came out looking simply like a bundle of walking clothes, Leon had to hold back a laugh. He covers his mouth and was about to answer, "Yeah, let's look over here—" When an audible sound coming from the ghost-type gym leader smacking against a wall draws Leon's attention back to him. He felt bad for the kid, but at the same time it tickled his funny bone as he went over to help Allister up. "And here I thought I was bad at directions," He said, not knowing that it's because Allister is unable to *See* That he ran into a wall. Leon directs him to the rack of clothes nearby. "Do you actually like what I picked out? Pretty cool, right? You should dress like it more!" He pulls out more T-shirts with different slogans on them. One said, "I inhale angry"... What does that even mean?

After getting some sizes that might fit Allister, he hand it over to the boy. "Hey, I'm still considering we dress up as a match! Make it like-" He puts his hands to his hips and stand proud. "Like we're really Cape Man and Masked Boy!" An employee nearby jolt their head up and seemingly stare at Leon and Allister for a while, suspecting. "Oh! Like we're superheroes or something! Or, I've heard that phantom thieves are a thing now?" Leon's voice is ridiculously loud, so he's not aware of how much he's saying because of it.
Lynelle
He shook off the pile of clothes he was burried in, and dropped everything else on the ground. Hmm, okay, that wasn't working. He was now looking at a bunch of shirts and things that Leon started handing him, and reading all the random things they said. Nothing really *Fit* The little boy, but he found one that had fancy writing on it that said, "I'm a classy bitch," And couldn't help but snicker. Not that he was gonna wear it or anything. "Hmm..." He looked past the t shirts, and found something else that caught his eye, and oh boy! Did he want it. It was some kind of cropped black leather jacket with lace and fancy buttons on the bottom. It looked like something a girl would wear, heck, it was in the girl's section of the store, but Allister immediately snatched it.

He then turned around as something was handed to him, and grinned. It was a shirt, and like all the others, had something on it. This one was purple, and had a gengar printed on it! But kind of in a wispy artistic style...
"Ace!" Allister said, a little bit bubbly as he took the shirt too. Leon was finally thinking of things that would look good, purple matched black, and the print was red and purple as well.
By the end, they settled on the fancy jacket, the t shirt, and the black pants, just a smaller size.
To keep their consistency, both Leon and Allister let their shoes be the one standout thing. Allister then looked at himself and smiled. Minus the jacked, his friend had picked this whole ensemble out and well... "I-it looks great!"
Evelyn
Leon waits in bated breath for Allister's evaluation and in the end, it wasn't bad! "See! I can learn pretty quick!" He raises a hand for the short boy to high-five—not sure he can reach it though. Would that be all? Even though Leon looks pretty skimpy, he still wanted that snuggable Charizard costume. His eyes distant to the costume section of the store one more time before trying to lead Allister to the front where they could likely pay for their clothes ~~and the one that has been eaten~~. On their way there, they were suddenly stopped, though. A man that had a man bun, a beaming smile, and a goatee, while looking so prim and proper. *"Hello. I couldn't help but notice you two."* He starts walking in a circle around them, admiring their choices. When he went the full circle, he stops in front of Allister and kneel down close to the boy. *Too close.*

*"What's your name, huh?"* He dares reach forward and rustles Allister's hair. *"I'm here looking for some good models to show off our brands. I own a company with many departments, see, and we just opened up our beauty branch. How would you like to pose for it, huh? Hm?"* He grabs a business card from his breast pocket and practically shoves it in Allister's hand. Leon wasn't really sure what was going on, so he watched. Is this an authority pretending to be some weird photographer?

"That's great! He's really good at putting together outfits. He'll consider it," Leon answers for Allister. The champ had dealt with the paparazzi before and some could be rather forceful and creepy. "Let's go." He starts leading the boy away, even leaning over a bit to put his hand on Allister's back to guide him to who-knows-where.
