WELCOME TO GALAR
Six months have passed since the events of Sword and Shield, and Galar has once again opened its gates for all to participate in the new season of the Pokémon League.
With only a select few receiving an endorsement, these Trainers must travel the region and win all 8 Gym Badges in order to participate in the final tournament as the whole of Galar watches.
With a settled empty stomach and his partner by his side, Iliya exited the Hammerlocke station and was finally on the streets. It was crowded with groups of people and pokemon alike. Shops with sale signs and the occasional busker trying to earn coin. He wasn't interested in any of that, at least not for now. The only thing on his mind was training and finding a new member for his team. "Come on Atlas, lets not get distracted." He called, his Piplup jolting and catching up.
As the two wandered towards the City exit and to the wilderness, Iliya was suddenly cut off by three girls. He recoiled back and tried to go around but they blocked him from all sides. "Can I help you?"
"You look new! Wanna tell us where you came from?!" "We're looking for the latest Gossip, surely a foreigner like you knows something!" "Any rumors? Stories? Conspiracies???"
The trio of vultures continued to ask Iliya questions, wanting all the deets on anything they could get. He of course was overwhelmed and unsure what to do.
"Damn.. This place is way bigger than the farm.. Good thing we traded numbers with those two." Dew muttered while casually spinning a pokeball on her finger tip. "Feeling better already Eclipse?"
With the question in a burst of light an umbreon gently landed at her trainer's side and started to happily nuzzle against her leg. Soon just happily following after her trainer as she continued to walk. The boyish looking girl continued on ducking around the people on the street before finally pausing as she saw a small group of girls. With an audible groan she was about to left her hood and just avoid the entire situation, but she hesitated seeing that they hadn't even noticed her yet. Instead their eyes were locked on another boy who they near instantly pounced upon. Blocking the poor guys path and questioning the hell out of him. Frowning a bit she let out a sigh before calmly walking over to the three girls and the trapped boy as she shoved her hands into her pocket. Eclipse noticed her trainer do so and calmed down her tail wagging making herself appear more serious in the moment.
"Oi. I totally know a few rumors." Sliding closer Dew would start to enter the circle forcing the girls to give Iliya some breathing room. "I know stuff about the Kanto league and a few things about the boutiques here, but lemme guess you girls probably totally want to hear more about the amazing outta region stuff, right ? I've been all over the place so I could tell you a bunch honestly.."
Eclipse lightly sat down on the ground looking over the three girls in a calm obedient manner. Her eyes would glance over to the boy and his piplup checking if they were okay. The most interesting thing about the umbreon was her alluring purple eyes instead of the usual crimson red most umbreon had.
Iliya was trapped and he started to feel overwhelmed with the three bimbos asking questions. He could feel trapped and when he did, he usually exploded in people's faces. Just as he was about to rip them all a new one, a calm voice called over, gaining their attention and giving Iliya a chance to back away and take a moment. He glanced over to see a young boy...no, girl...boy? He really wasn't sure, assist the trio with their quest.
Piplup eyes widen with awe as he looked at the Umbreon, giving a wave before he jolted as Iliya started to walk off without him. The tiny penguin waddled as quick as he could to catch up, a little disappointed he couldn't play with the other pokemon.
"Rumors?! Yes yes, tell us everything and anything!" "wow this is going to bring ratings up big time!" "We'll even give you some rewards! How does cash and an item sound???"
Iilya instantly stopped and turned around after hearing that last part. Without a second thought, he power walked back and stood near Dew. "I got info on something but first I wanna know you're legit giving away free stuff." His mood had changed completely and he was about to make a deal with the devil if it meant getting a freebie.
Atlas puffed a little after having to go all the way back but now he was near Umbreon, he could wave and greet them.
"Ah, So you'll actually give us stuff for the info? Yeah i'll totally tell you girls some real good stuff if I'm gettin' rewarded for it. I can tell you about the Kanto league champion ships and the monster of Undella Bay in Unova, kay?"
Dew's face didn't really change much as Iliya tried to leave and instantly came back. She couldn't really blame him cause well free shit was free fucking shit like Red use to say.
Eclipse looked over to Atlas and gave a small happy smile her intense calm aura fading as the girl were distracted by their trainers and everyone was pretty safe at the moment. Instead of waving the umbreon's tail wagged as she gently nudged Atlas a few times curiously looking over the piplup.
Iliya would do anything for a easy buck and if it meant making up some cheesy story, he didn't bat an eye. He looked at Dew and there was a silent agreement between the pair to give these girls all the good stuff. "I heard there was a ex-convict on the train, he's been wanted over some pokefood theft and even steals it from pokecentres."
The girl in the middle eyes lit up and she began to jot down all the notes for the story. As Iliya spoke, Atlas was too occupied with his new friend. He blushed as Eclipse nuzzled him and put his flippers to his cheeks. He flapped them happily and ran around the Umbreon but there was no sound coming from him like pokemon would do. He made little chirps here and there but it was a bit off.
"In the Kanto league apparently there's a rumor some kid no one could figure out the age of managed to beat up a biker gang, but lost the first round of the league. Apparently they totally beat their opponent, but they left without continuing on." Dew explained rather casually. "Oh, and the Undella Bay monster? ...Well People argue if it's the greedy research who spends more time with his relics than his own son. Or the mysterious creature that's been sinking ships or drowning the trainers the man sends to the ruins nearby. Everyone says it's probably an angry spirit the boy made friends with out of his loneliness."
Dew's tone swapped to rather chilling as she told the second story as if it was a horror story. Though once she finished she gave a casual nod before going right back to her blank calm tone. "Yeah, those good enough for you girls?"
Eclipse couldn't help, but give a small giggle watching Atlas starting to run circles around her. She noted the little chirps, but still smiled wagging her tail before giving the piplup gentle pat with one of her paws. "Umbree~."
The trio of girls quickly wrote down notes, each doing their own take on what information they were given. Iliya was straight out lying and he had no shame in doing so if it meant free cash and items. Dew on the other hand was making it sound pretty truthful but hard to tell if any of it was actual fact.
Atlas had no interest in the humans, he was happily playing with Eclipse and making friends. He placed a flipper on her before running away a little, wanting to see if she would chase him and play tag. He always wanted to play the game but never had any other pokemon to do it with.
Iliya spoke up once more. "Alright, you got your information, now hand over what you owe us." He was straight to the point and wasn't messing around. One of the girls dug into her pocket and gave him a choice of a Miracle Seed, Mystic Water or Charcoal. He took the mystic water for Atlas of course but when it came to the battle points, there was a problem.
"Wait, you don't have a rotomphone. Oooooh my gosh! Everyone has one of those!"
"What the hell is a Rotomphone? I just want cash." He looked confused and annoyed about the whole process. "Don't you carry cash?"
"Psssh thats so last year. Everything is transfer now ~" The girl pulled out her Rotomphone, it was bright pink with a sparkcase and several charms on it. The phone buzzed and blinked.
"Wait is that an actual pokemon in there?!?" Iliya had never seen anything like it. He himself had a phone but it was so ancient that you could put it in a museum. He sighed and looked at Dew. "Hey, if you got a rotom..phone or whatever, mind holding onto my cash for a bit?"

Eclipse grinned brightly her tail starting to wag before dashing right after Atlas. The umbreon was definitely up to play with the other pokemon and definitely was already to see where thise would go. She trusted Okori with Dew and she knew how to find Dew if they went too far while playing, so everything would be fine!
Dew on the other hand casually scanned over the different items in front of her watching as Iliya took the mystic water her eyes scanned the other two items. She didn't really have a pokemon that would use either of these times and there was no promise she'd catch anyone that would use them either. Giving a light shrug Dew would accept the charcoal from the girl before glancing over to Iliya and his BP problems. She stared at the ancient relic of a phone before giving a casual nod to his request. "Hm? ..Oh yeah I guess she can help ya. Oi, Spirit come on out I need ya to make some transactions."
With those weird a pocket on Dew's bag wiggled before a normal orange rotom phone floated up and turned sideways before opening up it's eyes revealing a pair of deep blue eyes.
"I here ya T! Don't worry I'm on it!!" Floating over to the three girls the rotom phone giggles and spun around to face them. "Please give me the correct amount of BP and I'll place T's into their account and the rest into an account for this guy !"
Atlas face lit up and he began to run around, trying his hardest to avoid being tagged. He was the happiest Piplup in the world and nothing could bring him down.
"Atlas, we're going."
Of course one thing could. The Piplup slowed down and looked a little sad that playtime was over. He looked to Eclipse with a disappointed face but thanked her silently before going back to Iliya's side once more.
Iliya kneeled down and placed the mystic water necklace on Atlas before fixing his little scarf as well. "Thats for you, don't lose it." He ruffled his head feathers before looking back at Dew. "Okay now go to an ATM or whatever and get me my cash." he was rather blunt and it came off as rude but really, he didn't want this kid to take his hard earned cash.

Eclipse cheered and laughed chasing after the piplup. This was almost as fun as playing with Okori, but this time she was the big pokemon! Though of course soon the sounds of Atlas' trainer calling for them sadly ended their game. Pouting about this Eclipse went and jumped over the piplup to allow him to get to his trainer before gently landing on the ground and watching.
Dew casually messed with the charcoal watching Eclipse and Atlas run around though she was brought back from her thoughts as Iliya began to demand his money. Yeah that made sense no one would ever wanna trust a kid that looked like some punk with money, but honestly he kinda looked like he was probably the same age as her.
"Yeah, yeah sure. Come on we can get you your money." Casually looking towards Iliya she started walking toward the center. "I gotta know your name and stuff then we could make you a real account. Or you one of those 'I don't trust banks' types, I mean I don't blame ya cause banks do get robbed and stuff."
"Umbre~!"
Eclipse ran up to her trainer happily running a few circles around her legs somehow not throwing off the short trainer's balance. The bluenette kept walking and keeping a casual chat with the same vacant expression not leaving their face.
"There you are Eclipse. You have fun playing with his Piplup, Atlas, right ?"
With cash in hand, Iliya placed it in a specific inner pocket of his large coat and made sure it was secure. He looked at Dew, still wondering what gender they were. "Thanks for the help. Names Iliya and this is Atlas, my partner." He said, gesturing to his Piplup who was wanting to play more tag but had to be by Ili's side.
"Guess that's that. Catch you around maybe." He gave a lazy wave and headed towards the Wild Area to find a new team mate. Atlas waved at Eclipse and bid her farewell.

"Ah, names Torrent or T. At least that's what most people call me." Dew stated rather casually before watching him wander off. She messed with her hair clip again before looking at Eclipse again.
"So you ready to go get some training done with the others?"
"Umbreon !"
"Alright, Let's go find somewhere nice and quiet...and where Rin won't drown people again like in Undella Bay."
