"Wait, real?"
Cue a thumbs up.
"Cool, thanks dude. Then hold on one sec."
And at that she turns to the boat, puts two fingers between her lips and whistles. In a matter of seconds here comes Lyle, her Blaziken, effortlessly holding- Oh that's a lot of bags. She picked up-- arguably the biggest one, one hell of a trekking backpack, but that's still a lot.
"Can you hold 'em a little longer, buddy?"
Cue another thumbs up, this time from the Blaziken.
"Hella." again, she returns the same gesture before fixing the bag on her shoulder, turning again to Hau "Okay, lead the way."
"Oh! I do know where that is, actually!"
"I can take you there if you want? I don't have anything better to do right now anyway." It would take their mind off swimming, too. Apparently you can't swim with a new tattoo? Mean to him.
“actually screw this I’m gonna walk into the deep sea and never come back. Bye.”
…a blink, followed by a snort.
"Well, damn. And here I thought I'd avoid paparazzi if I came in this early."
She squints, tilting her head on the side. Hold oooon.
"…ain't you the Kahuna's kid? Think I saw ya on TV some months ago."
She didn't answer. Not for anything in particular. She just forgot to.
Aaaand he waves back! This person seems familiar...
"Uhhh not much! What's up with you?"
He had been hanging about the port, yearning for a dip in the water... but he couldn't with his brand new tattoo. "You... Do you have a bond with a strong Pokémon?"
Was that weird to ask right out of the gate?
"just karate chop them in the throat? that usually works."
"Ah, no probs, my guy."
She's-- she's giving a thumbs up. She's holding on that giant ass bag and she's giving a thumbs up as if it was nothing. Girl what's your diet.
"That was kinda the point of this vacay, actually" she fixes the bag a little more, trotting behind them "Trekking and the battle tree. Aaaand maybe some Mantine surfing? Like, I knooow it's a tourist trap, but" a chuckle "consider me trapped, yeah?"
Oh that's. A ton of bags???
Hau is pretty impressed by the Blaziken's strength-- And sapphire's, too.
"Follow me. And if I need to help carry anything, let me know." Hau turns on his heel, starting to walk in the direction he remembered it being in.
"It's a bit of a trek, truth be told. But it's pretty worth it from what I've heard."
[ btw sapphire can megaevos two pokemon per battle.
bc i said so ]

Stares. He senses something about her.
She barely got off the ship from Hoenn to Alola, a lollipop in her mouth, her phone ( with Poogle Maps open ) in one hand, the other in her pockets. It takes her a few seconds to realize someone is staring, to which she slowly looks up, pops the candy out of her mouth and waves.
"'sup dude."
Sheeeeee's quite sure she saw them in the past. Some news about Kahunas or something? Welp. She's waving.
