someone give him an oscar. if he weren’t so busy pulling an EXCELLENT act, alder would be laughing right now -- but that would come in soon enough. right now, he had to stay convincing -- and he pulled that STUNT quite enough for anyone to believe him.

“ raihan -- RAIHAN -- ” the old champion breaths heavily, gently placing his hand on the gym leader’s arm. “ listen to me raihan, you -- you have to -- ”

“ HIYAAAAAAA !! ”

and there it is. the poor raihan is sent FLIPPING as alder makes him fall and smack his back against the ground with ease.

Clair:

raihan’s voice is comforting in your time of need. he’s always been nice, and perhaps that’s why your first instinct was to call him. and it isn’t like he’s never been concerned about you before. you remember multiple instances, actually, but that isn’t really important right now. what’s important right now is the fact that raihan picked up, and that he promised. he promised, and you trust him. raihan wouldn’t back out of a promise, right? right. ah, you’ll spiral if you stay silent. you’ll probably worry him if you do. you need to say something, anything, and yet you can’t. you feel like there’s a froakie in your throat. if you speak, you fear you might start crying. the words are on the tip of your tongue, and yet, whenever you try to spit it out, you can’t. it’s agonizing. you try and try and try and try, but all that comes out are noises. and then you realize: you’re scared. you’re scared someone, somehow, will overhear and that you’ll get in trouble. you feel sick. your skin is crawling and you have to stop yourself from scratching all over. that’s no good, and especially not now. this isn’t good. you can’t stay quiet, though. something, anything will work.

Starter from @drakule

It was on early side of when he said he would show up. Since he was a gym leader though Lance gave the front desk permission to let him into the living quarters of the league passing along the message that Karen was training with Bruno in the work out area of the facility which Will was able to point out for him. The work out area was divided into two sections. One was various machines, and weights while a separate boxed in area was filed with padding on the walls for sparring. That would be where most of the noise was coming from.   

The pokemon seemed to be watching the spectacle calmly including the steelix and onix that belonged to Bruno who stared in from a large window. One couldn’t blame them for taking an interest as the two trainers were locked in combat without the use of pokemon unaware anyone had even entered. Currently it was a battle of dodging for Karen who had a clear edge on speed, and agility though seemed to be staying centered low bouncing about on all four limbs to maneuver around him. Franky it looked odd seeing her form though there was no denying the effectiveness considering how fluidly she was moving, and the lack of predictability. A good thing too considering with how hard he was swinging, and her significant size difference one punch could end it.

At one point she managed to hook a leg around his, and pull herself closer dodging a hit. Once inside the closer ring she lunged a what was a rubber knife at his chest seeming to have the victory. That was until he grabbed the back of her leg, and yanked her away to slam her stomach down on the mat. Except as he went to throw her she crunched her stomach upwards to grab onto his wrist. In the next moment she had kicked him in the face making him stumble back after letting her go to land back on the ground. 

They likely would of kept going if it wasn’t for Karen noticing a new audience member when she spun back around. 

"Hold"

She asked.

“You’re clear to come in Raihan, mind grabbing the water bottles out there?”
