Finding this sanctuary should have been easy. Leon had been here before and he has an idea of how to get here, but with his sense of directions it's a miracle he can end up at the same place twice. Without Charizard, he would have never have made it.

Regardless, he was looking forward to returning to this quant sanctuary. Picking up what Chariman Rose left behind wasn't easy. His focus had been the Battle Tower, creating a place for trainers to grow stronger and test themselves. Leon's love for battles never withered, even without his Champion title, but he also loves Pokemon too.

Which leads him to here today. He remembers eagerly sponsoring this place, happy to have a spot in Galar that cared for Pokemon. While it may not have been related to battles, he adored the thought of Pokemon having a safe space to be in.

There’s already fire roaring somewhere in the lot, a beacon drawing them forward towards the forces waiting there. She’d already crept through the darkness and witnessed it once, the wild convoy squatting there amidst the hollowed skeletons of old cars. They look more like monsters in the dark, but there’d been something uncomfortably human when left witnessing them on their own territory. A different portrait sketched out when she could see a woman laughing as she paints the face of the man next to her. It might’ve left room for a sliver of guilt.

At least until they'd dragged a prisoner from the building on her left.

That memory is enough to fuel her now, approaching side by side with Leon. Somewhere in the darkness others are making the same approach, the plan to bottle them up and destroy anyone or anything that draws a weapon against them. It’s wholesale slaughter and if she acknowledges it for what it is, there’s no room for uncertainty. And perhaps it’s fitting that it’s not the first time she’s committed that much violence with the man next to her. This time there just aren’t any ties of blood.

It places the burden of rescue in other hands, but if there’s that intense and almost desperate urge to see that girl’s guardian set free of his prison, logic swears this is a better place for her when she knows how to kill without flinching. And if she dies in the process, then it’s an acceptable sacrifice as long as the others get free.

(( for Leon? also I'll get to that ask when I can ‹'3

"I do my best! I'm not sure I've made a bad one before though!"

Truthfully, he can't recall leaving a bad first impression on others. He knows not everyone is going to like him, but he believes that all his interactions were good. Lots of people enjoyed his presence, cheered for him upon arrival- it came with being the face of the region for years.
