Andrea was itching to visit the dragon sanctuary near Rustboro, so much so that she'd marched straight into the building, only for the NPC receptionist to regretfully inform her that the owner could not be found there. Fetch quest time!

She was told to go to the Galarian embassy, a stoic brick building that barely stood out from the rest thanks to Galar's coat of arms being on it. Those Westerners sure liked their stuff simple and utilitarian, didn't they? It took a lot of talking for the strangely-dressed weirdo to convince the security staff that she wasn't a terrorist, but eventually they let her in.

And so, Andrea anxiously waited in the lavish lobby, sitting on one of the comfy sofas while holding an adorable little Fuecoco in her arms. "I can't wait, Jalapeño! I hope we get to meet Zekrom today!" The young, costumed woman giddily mused, while petting the baby croc's head with motherly affection.

Remiel hadn't expected to see today. In between meetings and paperwork, the GALARIAN AMBASSADOR had been far too busy to receive a message from his assistant at the DRACIARY that hadn't been labeled urgent. There were protocols in place for everything, after all. It made navigating the recovery effort in GALAR, and the situation here, somewhat more organized and doable.

Nevertheless, the prince walks through the doors of the GALARIAN EMBASSY after his SHINY SINISTEA attendant opens them with its ghostly telekinesis. And the first person he sees, past a small and polite greeting between himself and the front desk, is the costumed young woman sitting there patiently with a FUECOCO. He stops and smiles, then draws closer with a briefcase in hand as he speaks.

"Andrea? I'm charmed to see you here, though I must admit I'm surprised. How are you?" He asks while his aforementioned Sinistea presents itself to her with a twirl and a little polite bow. "This is EARL GREY, by the way."

"Hi, Mr. Calcifet!" Andrea greeted the Galarian ambessador back with a quick bow, her face lighting up at his question. "I'm great actually! I did some sightseeing and met a lot of Dragon types on my way here!"

Her eyes were momentarily drawn to the shiny Sinistea, its scrumptious form vaguely reminding her of the Tiered Tea Room. "H-hello there." She awkwardly waved at the floating teacup.

"This is Jalapeño. He's my son." The young PokéManiac introduced her Fuecoco in turn. "So, are you gonna show me your dragons? We could also talk some science like you said!" She said all too eagerly.

Remiel visibly brightens, which manages to surprise a few onlookers who worked with him nearby. "That's fantastic." He remarks.

Later, Earl Grey takes a moment to wave back at Andrea after the somewhat awkward introduction, then twirls back to the prince's side at the sight of the Fuecoco. "Ah, a Fuecoco! He's quite jalapeño shaped indeed," He chuckles, gently patting it.

When it comes to showing her to the draciary, however, the ambassador's smile falters for a moment as he draws his hand back. "Ah, you see... there's one matter I must attend to here before I go, Andrea. But I'll tell you what: why don't you come along with me? Perhaps you'll find a passion for politics." He suggests with a smile.

The appropriately named Jalapeño squirmed happily in response to the gentle patting, his fiery ahoge wiggling to and fro. "Yeah, he just appeared one day. Did you know there's a region called Paldea? I didn't!" Andrea casually remarked.

The transient loss of the prince's smile did not go unnoticed. Had she said something to incite his ire? No, but he did claim he had some politics-adjacent matters to attend to, getting the spontaneous idea to invite the young, costumed woman as a spectator. "You want me to come along?!"

The last time Andrea had dipped her toes in the tumultuous world of politics, she'd almost been accosted by an angry mob of mostly peaceful protestors. There was some clear resistance to the idea, but in the end her curiosity got the better of her. "OK!" The dragon-hooded girl nodded, following Remiel's lead.

Remiel nods at the mention of Paldea, imparting that he'd been there a few times and even had some ancient family history tied to the region. Leaving things vague for now, however, he instead reassures Andrea that his offer had been genuine. "Yes, of course. It's not every day I get to show around the world's future leading scientist in metamorphosis, after all." He smiles.

With a wave, the royal ambassador gestures for her to follow along as they head through the first-floor offices of the embassy. Various people wave and greet Remiel as he passes by. He spares them small reciprocations, however, while keeping his focus on the company he has present.

"Were you born and raised here, Andrea? Where does your family come from?" He asks, reaching a set of elevator doors with her and pressing a button to summon one to the highest floor.

"The world's future leading scientist in metamorphosis... I like that!" The young PokéManiac beamed. Slateport University had already rejected her many emails, but she'd show them. She'd show everyone. Her thesis was gonna take the scientific world by storm!

For the time being, the eccentric cosplayer followed the surprisingly (or not so surprisingly) popular ambassador through the embassy's lavish hallways, wondering what exactly it was that he wanted her to see. But first, a bit of small talk.

Remiel was curious as to Andrea's origins. "I was born and raised in Fallarbor Town. My Mom and Dad are from Hoenn too, but I had a great grandmother from Kalos." Her Kalosian ancestry would definitely explain why she had a distinctly non-Eastern name.

They enter the elevator as Andrea elaborates a bit on her family history. Remiel's brow raises with surprise at the mention of her Kalosian descent. Though, truly, he'd already figured as much given her surname. "Ah, is that so? I'm half-Kalosian myself, you know," He adds with a smile, pressing the button for the highest floor.

The doors slide closed before the elevator lurches, gliding upwards smoothly shortly thereafter. As the two continue their conversation, Remiel's Sinistea dances around Andrea, seemingly in a bid to entertain the Fuecoco in her arms. "Have you ever visited before? Your great-grandmother's homeland, that is." He inquires.

The revelation of Remiel's mixed parentage visibly intrigued the dragon-costumed girl, who stared at the handsome prince with a surprised look. Apparently, the two had more in common than just their mutual love for Dragon-type Pokémon.

At the question of whether she'd ever visited Kalos, the young woman shook her head. "I plan to visit eventually, but not yet. My friend says Lumiose City is full of bird poop. So for our summer vacation, we'll go to Paldea instead, Jalapeño's homeland." She said, looking down at her Fuecoco with a warm smile, the little crocodile being too distracted by the Sinistea's dance.

Remiel utters a surprised and quite amused laugh. "B-Bird poop? I suppose your friend isn't entirely wrong. Though I've always found the city's cleaning department to be quite efficient. It has to be with all the GOGOAT TRAFFIC they have."

If her friend thought the bird poop was bad, well...

Nevertheless, Remiel nods with approval at the mention of PALDEA. "That's a fantastic region to visit during the summer. There's been an influx of immigrants from there, too." He adds, watching as the numbering above the elevator doors steadily rises. "Despite all the chaos, what do you think attracts people to Hoenn?"

Andrea's parents run a ranch, so she knew very well how messy Pokémon manure could get, but it littering the streets where people walked? That was too weird even for her.

While they were on the subject of other regions, Remiel asked her what she thought made Hoenn so popular to visitors. The dragon-hooded girl hummed in deep thought. "Hmm, I guess the tropical climate makes it a good place to visit all year round. Hoenn has the nicest beaches second only to Alola. We also house the widest variety of wild Pokémon out of every other region."

Granted, much of that variety had been the result of invasive species and/or dimensional fuckery. A small price to pay for the ability to complete the National Pokédex.

The elevator dings and its doors slide open. Remiel nods in approval of Andrea's answer as he politely gestures for her to exit first. "Those are all good answers," He says, guiding them down a polished hallway filled with high-end meeting rooms and offices. "Though some find it hard to enjoy the beach or even simply be Pokémon trainers when the threat of MEGALOPOLANS and ULTRA BEASTS continue to hang over them."

Finally, the final office at the end of the hallway is in sight. Remiel's assistant notices him as they approach, scrambling to tidy up her office desk, which sits just outside the oak double doors, before standing to attention with hands at her back. "Mr. Calcifet, sir! Your three-thirty will be here shortly. Mr. Draper from the Unovan Embassy sends his thanks for the revisions on the— er... shall I push your three-thirty ahead in lieu of your... guest?"

His assistant's look at Andrea is acknowledged before Remiel shakes his head. "No need. Miss Vaneau here will be sitting in for the meeting as my personal guest." He smiles, moving to open the door before he's swiftly beaten to the punch by the woman. "Thank you, Mariette. Please ring me when they've arrived." Stepping aside for Andrea, however, he gestures for her to enter. "Go ahead and take a seat, Andrea. Would you like anything to drink?"

Mariette stands at attention for any request the young woman may have. In the meantime, a large and impressive office with a stunning view of Rustboro City awaits just ahead.

The duo went out of the elevator and into a pristine hallway, eventually reaching the door to what was presumably Remiel's office. His loyal secretary informed him of the day's schedule, but her attention was quickly drawn to his guest 'Miss Vaneau', who no doubt stuck out like a sore thumb in a place filled with suits.

"No thank you, I'm fine..." The draconic cosplayer politely turned down the offer for refreshments, but looking down at her Fuecoco gave her second thoughts. "Actually, I'd like a cup of chocolate milk for Jalapeño. With a bendy straw." She requested, before following the Galarian ambassador inside the lavish office room.

The assistant stands there a little baffled at the request. For a moment, she could have sworn that the woman had asked for a cup of chocolate milk with a jalapeño. That, and wondering where she could acquire a bendy straw with such short notice, had her confounded. When she eventually snaps out of it, however, she hurriedly nods to reassure them as they turn away into the office, bowing and smiling.

"Y-Yes, of course! Right away!"

Once the assistant leaves, the door is left ajar as Remiel escorts his guest inside. Rather than take his seat behind the large mahogany desk at the end of it, however, the Galarian gestures for Andrea to join him at the wide window spanning the length of the room. "Lovely, isn't it?" He remarks, gazing out at the panoramic view of Rustboro City with a gentle smile.

"I'm rather proud to say Rustboro is the number one city in the region with the highest concentration of Galarian-owned businesses and immigration. They've come to call it the 'Galarian Gateway to Hoenn' of all things." A somber thought drifts into his mind like a dark cloud shortly afterward. Its shadow permeates his eyes.

"Though now we're being tested harder than ever before, given the recent calamity in Galar."

Silly assistant, chili peppers didn't go with chocolate milk... Or did they?

The Galarian blue-blood gestured for the young woman to join him at gazing outside his large office window. This scene was familiar... Was he going to ominously tell her about the world's impending energy crisis in a thousand years time?

No, but what he did tell her sounded foreboding in its own right. "What calamity? Is Galar in trouble?" Andrea worriedly asked. Remiel had mentioned immigrants, after all. People didn't usually immigrate, unless something went terribly wrong in their homeland.
