COMMUNITY STADIUM, MOSSDEEP CITY, 6:01 P. M.

"Good evening, Mr. Connors." Gwyar said, extending out his hand to the man. "We're glad you could make it."

They stood outside of the Mossdeep City Community Stadium— otherwise known as the Mossdeep City Gym premises by the locals.

Gwyar and his team of gym staff had waited outside to recieve the renown member of the Elite 4.


"We cannot thank you enough for making time for Mossdeep City— I can only imagine how busy your schedule is." The blonde said, stepping aside to invite the man into the gym's lobby.

Inside, the gym trainers and other staffers were running about making sure everything was ready. The video and audio teams in charge of the stadium's audiovisual systems weren't immediately seen, but their presence could be felt in the number of Rotom-drones and rotom-phones flying about the place.

Inside the stadium proper— and beyond the one-sided glass windows— the people awaiting for Greyson and Gwyar (but mostly Greyson) could be seen.

Attendance was higher than usual.

Gwyar could see more than a few new faces, both to the seminars and to Mossdeep city in general, and the stadiums seats were actually filled a respectable amount, given how long it had been since the city had hosted any significant tournaments.

So far, everything was going according to plan. Now, they just had to make sure of turning a good number of the new attendees into regulars, and/or better yet— willing promoters and word of mouthers.

For the moment, the staffers around Gwyar and Greyson spread out to work once again, leaving the gym leader and the Elite 4.

Gwyar smiled at the man, folding his arms behind his back.

"There's still time before you take the stage." He said. "Everything has been prepared in advance as you requested."

"Gwyar." He accepts the Gym Leader's handshake with one of his own. Firm and brief. His eyes flit over the assembled grouping and he chuckles, surprisingly nervous.

"I appreciate the warm welcome, but it's entirely unnecessary. I'm no celebrity. I was a Gym Leader not too long ago myself, you know."

Nevertheless Greyson follows him inside, hands comfortably in his pockets, eyes wandering every now and than in admiration.

"You have a nice place here. I can see you and your staff care greatly about the duty that lays heavily on your shoulders." He respected that.

When the group departs and leaves just him, and Gywar, he gives the Gym Leader an appreciate smile.

"I just need to convince these people Comfey is the absolute best Pokemon — easy. I've been preaching that for years." He chuckles again, this time embracing a more somber mood. "I'm kidding of course. Thank you, to you and your staff. How many people have showed up?"

While Gwyar wasn't one to care about celeb culture, there was a level of reverence that the rank of Elite 4 alone required in this sort of public facing circumstances.

Specially in times of war and propaganda.

The members of the Elite 4 were equal part soldiers, public servants and pokemon training idols, after all.

And in any case—

"Just think of it as a show of my admiration." The blonde said, smiling.

For a brother in arms— whether the younger man remembered it or not.

Greyson's praise brought a proud welling up of the staff's chest, perhaps contradicting the young man's own perception of himself. They certainly seemed to look upon him with borderline adoration, after all, throwing back lingering looks as they were dismissed before turning back to their duties.

"I'm more partial to Honedges myself." He said, a number of said pokemon floating by as he spoke. One took a moment to rub against the blonde's shoulders. He grinned wide. "But then, I'm quite biased."

Most of the countless Aegislash-line pokemon floating about were related to his oldest pokemon. It was sort of like being surrounded by adorable(?) nieces and nephews.

Moving on—

"The Stadium is at more than half capacity." He said bluntly, smiling at the man. "It's the highest attendance we've ever had."

It was truly shocking what star power could do. Greyson was the first Elite 4 member they had invited, so who knew. Perhaps if it had been a little later, the man would've disclosed the secrets of Comfey to a full stadium.

Ah well, he could always be invited again~.

"Are you nervous?"

"Honedge. Good choice."

Greyson grins and flashes the blade an appreciative nod. His own had evolved into a Doublade, then finally into the Aegislash and aided him in combat time and time again.

Then he reminds Greyson of what awaits him outside and he chuckles, an edge in his voice.

"That obvious huh?"

Had he been , , or even he would've said no. But, he wasn't them; strip away the titles and accolades and you'd have a boy from a small town who loved to garden.

"We got a few minutes, right?"

Gwyar smiled wryly.

"I'd be surprised at anyone who wasn't." He said.

Standing before a crowd was one of the most nerve-wracking, nail-biting things he could think of, from his own experience. It had taken the better part of a decade for him to just grow accustomed to the crowds of Galarian fanatics roaring in those massive stadiums.

"Yes." He nodded, turning his gaze over to the large windows gazing out into the stadium. "Would you like me to get you anything?"

Everyone living in the limelight (forced or otherwise) had their rituals for these sorts of things. He would be happy to help the other man with whatever he needed.

Greyson holds up a hand, shaking his head.

"No, I'm fine, thank you. Stomach couldn't handle anything I fear."

His gaze follows Gwyar's, taking in the stadium at large.

"Read a bit about you. You retired as a Gym Leader in Galar." A beat. "Why take up the mantle again here?"

He half turned a curious gaze to the younger man.

Then, he turned his gaze back to the stadium.

"I didn't dislike the job, back in Galar." He clarified briefly, still smiling. "Complications arose."

He paused, mouth opening briefly before closing.

"... In any case— I was already assisting the league prior to the offer, as you know. It also arrived alongside a personal request from a close friend." He said. "So I accepted the offer."

Staying in Sootopolis had also become untenable; made it difficult to be there without constantly looking over his shoulder.

"Hoenn is unlike any other place on earth— both the land and its people." He said. "I admit that I've become somewhat enamored with it, despite its... many peculiarities."

Alien invasions. World ending meteors. Trips into the cyberspace. Tree-munching space parasites surging out of corpses. Interdimensional excursions. Decades long entrapments.

"I would like the region and its people to see peace again in my lifetime."

Gwyar spoke of complications like they were far more than that but Greyson doesn't press—something told him he shouldn't.

"That's an admirable goal."

He offers him a small, amused smile.

"I feel like you should be the one up there giving one of these League and Learns." Positions aside, Gwyar has significantly more experience than himself. "Surely you can teach someone a thing or two about the blade?"

"As a responsible Gym Leader, I must, sadly, marshal all of my experience and teachings towards... more practical lessons." Gwyar said, winking.

Swordsmanship in the era of pokemon and guns was for the unnaturally skilled— or supernaturally gifted. That or the deluded and deranged.

"And, in any case, I would think they'd be most miffed, were I to try." He said, a laugh rumbling in his chest. "The local community learns from me 4 times a week already."

Regularly scheduled seminars, serving as both communal gatherings and opportunities for learning, at hours convenient to both school aged youth and working adults, free and open to the public. Such was his gym's particular approach to teaching the Mossdeep community at large.

"No, they're much more excited to see you, Mr. Connors." He said, giving the other man a nod. "And I, too, I'm hoping to learn much."

His expression grew more sober as he turned towards the crowd, eyes razor sharp.

"The atmosphere is tense in Hoenn, of late." Tenser than usual, at any rate. "The more tools the people have to protect themselves, the better."

He can see the logic of it—back when he was the Gym Leader in Fallabor he'd spent a great deal of time around the people, likely to the point of irritation.

It was part of the job to integrate yourself wholly to your community.

"Practical or not, you can't deny it's cathartic swinging a blade like that. One of the best stress relievers I can think of." He shakes his head, recalling many a memories, but quickly dumps them.

In the end he acquiesces to Gwyar's point.

"Well, I appreciate the confidence you've placed in me. I can't deny that what this region needs right now isn't necessarily a sword, but a SHIELD."

His eyes lift to the crowd a smile tugging into lips as their energy is palpable.

"Well, here goes nothing."

Stealing one last appreciative look at the Gym Leader, Greyson ascends the stairs to a roaring applause.
