wanderlust

With a wide grin, Hau made his way across the rather busy street. The trainer was on his way to meet a good friend of his, and not only that, but he was eating at one of the best restaurants in Alola today! It was none other than Mallow's restaurant on Akala island.

“Good thing we reserved some seats, huh?” 

Hau hummed to Hibi, who was floating next to him as they excitedly made their way up to the front doors of the restaurant. There were people waiting in line outside, hoping to get a seat, but since he made a reservation, Hau and his beloved Alolan Raichu were allowed to march right on in. 

Thankfully this place wasn’t too fancy, even though the food was amazing. Hau would just feel awkward having to wear a suit and tie, especially when he was just meeting a good friend. Of course, he tried to make somewhat of an effort to look like he hadn’t just been rolling in the dirt. He wore a bit of a fancier outfit, yet still kept his usual style around. Lots of loose-fitting clothing and flowery designs. His hair was up in a bun with a braid holding it in place. Man, his mother is a blessing for teaching him to do his hair. To be fair, she seemed like she enjoys messing around and watching him change hairstyles often, so Hau doubted she minded teaching him. 

Soon enough, Hau spotted Sun and excitedly made his way over to the table he was seated at. Hibi greeted the other trainer with a high-pitched cry, before floating down in an empty seat while Hau took another. 

“Alola!” Hau smiled excitedly at the other, giving him the Alolan wave for a greeting. “How have you been?”

He had made small talk with Mallow when she stopped by to say hello and some of the customers’s kids who shyly approached the champion. It distracted him from his nervousness which he was grateful for at least, not to say Virge wasn’t doing a good job already but the Mimikyu just wanted to stay in his lap to relax. He wasn’t doing anything until the food arrived!

Like Hau, he made an effort to look nice but he also remained casual. He had gone with a tank, something different from his usual striped tee, but kept his cargo shorts. The champion had shortly taken off his hat after sitting down, having it set on an empty space next to him which showcased his shaggy hair pulled back into a simple ponytail. 

It didn’t take him long to notice his friend when he entered the restaurant, specifically due to Hibi’s greeting. 

@stepoutofthesunn​ Although it was rather early in the morning, with the sun just having broke the horizon of endless sea, and water, Vermilion City was bustling with life. The most popular and alive ‘attraction’ was the S.S. Aqua, which both served as entertainment and transportation for trainers who were seeking to battle as they travelled from Kanto to Johto. N Harmonia, a young man that looked quite odd and out of place in the Kanto region, was about to get onto the ship. His faithful Zoroark, by his side. He smiled at the receptionist, ensuring he had his passport, and proper papers in order to be able to take the ship. She checked them over repeatedly, for a moment, asking him questions about Unova, to which he promptly fixed his hat and politely answered. 

Deciding to let him go, N then walked towards the entrance-way, Zoroark scampering alongside him. 

Sun had stayed at a family friend’s house for the time being until he packed his bags this morning , saying goodbye to his hosts and promising to keep in touch before heading out. With Incineroar out trailing behind him, the two hurried as they made sure that they got to their destination, the S.S. Aqua.

They had plenty of time before the ship left the harbor but the sooner he got there the better.

“Oh cool! I visited there a few months ago although. . it wasn’t a very long trip.” He sheepishly rubbed the back of his neck. 

Sun’s abroad travels weren’t much of a secret anymore to anyone who knew him  — yet he wasn’t one to disclose the actual truth to many of them. Some of the very selected few he entrusted with the secret was Moon. He viewed her as his best friend, so it wasn’t a surprise for him when he told her his secret and let her be in charge as his standby as Alola’s Champion.

So while he was out in other regions, searching for something he’d lost, Moon was in charge for the time being until his visits back home. While he knew she appreciated the work to do, especially since she was struggling like him, Sun always felt a little bad about doing so —  he would sometimes think he forced the duty onto her. Thankfully that wasn’t the case when reassured by her during conversations. 

And because Moon was his best friend, she was the second person he had rung up when informing he was done for the time being and coming back home.

One moment, Moon’s watching Sun from afar. The next thing she knows, she’s being engulfed in a hug.

She startles, surprised, but the hug isn’t at all unwelcome; he’d only done what Moon herself had wanted to do. It doesn’t last long— not long enough to make Moon uncomfortable, certainly, not that hugs from Sun ever really make her uncomfortable. He’s her best friend, after all.

“You better have missed me.” He playfully stuck out his tongue at her promptly after the two parted from the hug.

Sun quietly followed the blond up the stairs, having his hand trail against the railing.

“Man, I’d hate to be the person in charge of those deliveries.”

Gladion couldn’t help but smile a little as he saw Sun becoming more like his usual self.  “I’ll keep that in mind. Gladion picked up the pillow and fluffed it a couple of times before setting it back down.

Sun looked over at his friend when feeling a hand placed on his shoulder.

"I just went and traveled through some regions like Kanto, Johto, Unova, and Kalos. I just. . tried searching for something, I guess. Something that'd spark interest within me, y'know?" He shrugged. 

When the attention was set on Red, he peeked a glance to the ocean nearby and almost had to squint to spot the berries floating in the water. The concept of the competition was new to him, but he wasn’t opposed to trying it out, even if he was reluctant to agree.

‘Is this your first time mantine surfing?’

The question breaks Red away from his thoughts; most particularly on the question being posed, on how well he was going to do, and how easy it was to slip off a mantine’s back and into the waters below. Also, if the swimming trunks were going to be plain and decent or outrageous and patterned with exeggutor heads on each side.

Actually, maybe those wouldn’t be so bad. 

"That's, like, impressive."

That was certainly interesting to try picturing in his head. He didn’t even think that was actually possible but who was he to doubt. Although the thought of sleeping on a snorlax appealed to him more than being out on the tides.

@stepoutofthesunn​

It’s probably telling that Moon needs more to fill her life with, when Sun coming back feels like the best news she’s heard in weeks. Not that she’s lacking things to do— Moon has her hands full, just training her pokémon and busying herself with League drudgery.

Champion work is very much the same, day after day. Moon doesn’t get all too many challengers— which is extremely fortunate, in her opinion. Challengers talented enough to make it to Mt. Lanakila, talented enough to beat all four of Alola’s elite, deserve to face the region’s real Champion, not his standby. And paperwork is— well, just paperwork. As per her agreement with Sun, Moon only handles matters of lesser importance, unless in times of crises: administrative cases regarding non-urgent domestic issues; deciding which cases need to be labelled ‘special exception’ and expedited, forwarded to Sun himself.

Not that Moon minds the work. She doesn’t. At all. She’s thankful for it, in fact; Moon doesn’t know what she’d do without it. It’s just… A little monotonous, is all. And anything that breaks that monotony is reason enough to celebrate.

So while he was out in other regions, searching for something he’d lost, Moon was in charge for the time being until his visits back home. While he knew she appreciated the work to do, especially since she was struggling like him, Sun always felt a little bad about doing so —  he would sometimes think he forced the duty onto her. Thankfully that wasn’t the case when reassured by her during conversations. 

And because Moon was his best friend, she was the second person he had rung up when informing he was done for the time being and coming back home.

He blinked at the sound of footsteps rushing towards him and he looked over to the direction, spotting a male whose hair. . resembled a tree, really. He wasn’t to be suddenly approached but didn’t mind the company. 

Giving a small wave to the older guy with a smile. “Hey there, I’m Sun. It’s nice to meet you, N.”

He looked between the two, tilting his head before speaking up once more to keep conversation flowing. “You don’t look like you’re from around here, where are you from?” 

Firecracker quirked hiss eyebrow as Zoruark circled around him, eyeing the dark type. 

“Aɴᴅ ʏᴏᴜ’ʀᴇ ϙᴜɪᴛᴇ ᴛʜᴇ ᴡᴀʀʏ ᴏɴᴇ ᴀʀᴇɴ’ᴛ ʏᴏᴜ?” Incineroar retorted, crossing his arms over his chest. His intention wasn’t to come off as rude but it most likely did.
