As Alec made his way to the clearing with the others, Alec also realized that a good portion of his shirt had been ripped, revealing the nasty scar on his shoulder. He was also bleeding just a little. How in the hell did that happen? He thought to himself. "Shit," Alec said loudly, having no choice but to face away, taking off the top of his shihakusho, taking yet another top out of his duffel bag along with some medical tape. Since the front of the top didn't fully cover the chest, he was able to work on tending to his reopened scar. He didn't like the thought of showing others his scar, mainly because of how people tended to react to it, but also because they'd ask how he got it.
He debated as to whether or not to talk to the others about it, since they would more than likely ask about it. He mentally sighed, deciding to come clean. "I'm sure you're wondering how got this nasty-looking scar on my shoulder," Alec had said to the others, more than likely already noticing what Alec was doing. "You could thank Team Rocket for this beauty mark," he joked, wincing as he applied the medical tape, gently yet firmly placing it over top with a piece of gauze.
"I should also tell you guys that, I didn't necessarily come on this expedition for the noblest of causes. In fact, I actually was hoping to find something that could help me fight against Rocket ..." Alec paused, having a serious expression on his face. "Sure, I respect the League, but I'm not here because someone asked me to. I came here for my own personal reasons." Alec said, standing back up on his own two feet after he patched himself back up. "The younger me - the person who used to be a Gym Leader, would have been here on orders ... but that young man died over a year ago ..." That's when Alec specifically looked over at Aaron, deciding to take the moment give him his own attention.
"Aaron, you said you were thinking about becoming a Gym Leader, right? Well, that's nice and you should go for it. However, I'm not gonna sit here and sugarcoat things for you in terms of what the job asks for. It's not just about giving people your Gym Badge. You'll have some hard choices that you will have to make - choices that may cause a conflict in you internally. You can't necessarily prepare yourself for them, but regardless, you will have to make a choice in the heat of the moment, and not what's simply best for you, but for Hoenn as a whole." Alec had said, finishing his piece while letting Aaron think for himself as to whether becoming a Gym Leader was still something he himself wanted to be.
TL;DR: - Alec realizes he's bleeding, seeing his scar opened back up somehow. - Alec confides in the others about why he's actually here, as well as briefly talking about his past. - Alec also talks to Aaron briefly about what it means to be a Gym Leader.
