She was not impressed by the person whom she presumed was the leader. He seemed rather unkempt. She acknowledged his greeting with a smile and a nod, doing her best to not react to the smell of rum on his breath. And yet the thought manifested in her mind

Is he drunk?

Not exactly the best of first impressions. But while she was sure others thought of vital importance that appearance be kept. She knew better. It would not be the appearance that would save them from disasters like THE DARKEST DAY, THREE-DAY-WAR, and so on. No, if what he taught was proper and the skills he had was real, then it mattered not if he looked like a homeless bum… But Arceus be with him if he could provide none of those qualities.

He quickly dismissed her to the front of the place. She found her spot there and waited. She checked her clock, he definitely used more than a second. But she supposed it was just an expression people used. Though she spent the moment while she waited to summon the two combatants.

The mighty Hisuian Braviary and a mean aggressive-looking Drapion appeared before her, both looking around for their opponents.

When he finally deigned them with his presence Elinor would look toward him with a professional smile and say. “It is a pleasure to make your acquaintance, I hope these two will provide you with a proper challenge.” She gestured towards her Pokémon, both trying to appear a bit larger than they actually were.
