"I told you exactly why I flew here on that taxi Corviknight taxi."

Kjolmar, age 17 by now, waved his hands through his ash-brown undercut-styled hair and looked straight at Marnie with his green eyes. Behind him a Klinklang hovered and a Zigzagoon tried to playfully hit it with its paw. The Klinklang has been with him since he became a trainer in Unova (although a Klink back then), all those years ago. The Zigzagoon seemed to be his newest partner, given it looks young and it is a local species.

"Let me explain it one more time, Marnie. First that Hop kid delayed me with his Wooloo problem while I was only near Wedgehurst to get my phone upgraded with a Rotom to begin with. If your fans from Team Yell hadn't blocked the road at Professor Magnolia's, Sonia would have upgraded my phone fast enough for me to leave before I even noticed Hop. Then again, I couldn't leave the poor kid without assisting, could I?"

Kjolmar realized it sounded like he was complaining but he just tried to explain why a Corviknight taxi looked like the best way for him to reach Motostoke.

Marnie looked confused.
"That still doesn't explain why you let me go by train by myself despite being in the middle of a conversation."

Kjolmar let out a small sigh, barely noticable.

"The opening ceremony of the Gym Challenge is tomorrow and I still have to buy some new clothes, meet up with my old friend from Sinnoh and check in at the Budew Drop Inn. Besides, you weren't alone on that train, there was this Bede guy and your Yell fans were not far away."

The opening event would show all gym leaders that wil be challenged and Kjolmar didn't want to miss it for the world. He was curious what they would look like, as he didn't think very high of the current champion Leon. Would this mean that the gym leaders were also pushovers? That couldn't be right. He decided to observe them well during the event, while still giving enough attention to his old friend.

Next to Kjolmar, the Klinklang started to grind his gears a little faster than it normally would.

"I know, Neo. You are exited to see Luna again. It will be so awesome to quest throuh Galar together with our old friends and maybe even some now."

Kjolmar looked at the Yamask so it would have its attention.
"You know, Tweener. I simply can't wait to introduce you to Aro and Luna. Neo and I go way back with them."

Kjolmar bade Marnie farewell and went to buy some new clothes before heading to the Budew Drop Inn. He noticed along the way that Bede was having an intimate conversation with Chairman Rose and Oleana but he shrugged it off for now. As he arrived at the inn, he noticed how Neo started to hover at a high speed towards a familiar face, while Yamask seemed to be a tad confused.

Kjolmar immediatly realized what Neo was up to.

"Aro!" he shouted while running towards his old friend.

They called themselves Team Yell and if it wasn't for trainer Marnie to intervene, Team Yell would have attacked. Marlon couldn't help but roll his eyes at those guys. There was something about them that he didn't take serious. They were definitely no Team Galactic or Team Plasma. That Marnie however seemed to be a respectable trainer. As she told those goons to beat it, Marlon wondered if she was their unofficial leader.

"Alright, let's head through the mines then." Marlon suggested to Cedric and Marilyn. "Oh, did you catch something out there?" he asked Cedric.
Marlon looked at the map. "If we pass through the mine over here, we get straight to Turrfield."

Along the way, Marlon decided to get to know his traveling partners a bit better. "So, Cedric, Marilyn, do you also have a mom calling you every two seconds?" He laughed about it. It could be annoying sometimes but he realized he should be grateful that there was someone who cared so much about his well-being.

Not far from them, Team Yell was blocking the entrance to the mine. Little did they know, their idol Marnie was closing in to lecture them.
While watching the opening event of the gym challenge, Zigzagoon nervously moved around. "Remember our deal." Marlon warned him. "If you pick a fight with someone during the event, you get back into your pokeball." Toxel gave Zigzagoon a whack with its paw and Zigzagoon stopped moving. They acted almost like siblings to each other already.

Marlon looked at the gym leaders presenting themselves. They looked like interesting individuals. As they presented Milo, Marlon laughed. "Obviously a grass-typed gym leader. Zigzagoon and Toxel will have little difficulty to get our first badge."

By the time the opening event was over, Marlon suggested going straight towards Turrfield to challenge Milo.
On their way to Motostoke, Marlon let his new Zigzagoon out. Once again, it came charging for him. Marlon dodged it, making it run straight into some bushes. "You want to pick a fight huh? Very well, let's fight ourselves a pokemon to battle then."

Not far from them, a Toxel was minding its own bussiness. When Zigzagoon spoted it, he ran straight towards it. "Oh boy. Ziggy sure has quite the energy." Marlon said and ran after his partner. Zigzagoon used a headbutt to attack Toxel. Touching its skin seemed to have an odd itching effect. Zigzagoon snarled at Toxel. In respons, Toxel nuzzled its electric cheeks against Zig, shocking him. "Headbutt it one more time." Marlon shouted. Zigzagoon did as he was told and knocked out the opponent. Marlon used a premier ball to catch the Toxel.

"There we go. Battle experience and a second regional pokemon already. Now we can relax while watching that gym challenge opening event in Motostoke."
While Magnolia explained how all pokemon can dynamax and only some can gigantamax, Marlon wasn't really paying attention as he had already read that information up front. He used this time however to say his goodbyes to Magnezone. It was an emotional farewell and eventhough they both stood behind the decision, it also saddened them deeply. "Make me proud, buddy. I know for sure you will defend our honor."

While Magnezone got transfered back to Kanto using a device in Magnolia's lab, Marlon tried to get himself together. Not only did he just meet these people, Marilyn in particular seemed to be someone he could impress. This was no time to show weakness.

"So, is there any pokemon without a trainer that can accompany me then?" he asked to break the awkward silence.

Sonia frowned. "You know, it is okay if you.."

"I was thinking something regional." Marlon quickly interrupted her.

Magnolia cleared her throat to get everyone's attention. "Actually, I might have one for you. It's not exactly the most easy-going pokemon but as far as I can tell, you are quite the experienced trainer so you should be fine. Sonia, dear, can you reach for that pokeball over there and give it to Marlon please?"

Sonia frowned as she disliked how Marlon had interrupted her while she only wanted to comfort him. She could swear she could notice Marilyn secretly enjoy it but blew it off as her imagination. She reached for the pokeball and gave it to Marlon.

Marlon let out his new companion to greet him. A Galarian version of Zigzagoon popped out and ran straight into Marlon, knocking him over. He then kept giving Marlon slight headbumps and soft bites, as if he wanted to pick a fight.

"Prof wasn't kidding when she said you weren't exactly easy-going. I bet you need some time to get used to me. We will make it work."

As he withdrew Zigzagoon back to his pokeball, Marlon already missed Magnezone. Things would not be the same, that's for sure. He looked over at Cedric and Marilyn and said: "Shall we get going then? Or did anyone want a Scorbunny?"
Khelfin would have prefered it if he got to drive instead of Aro, but he didn't want to make a fuss about it either. So he swallowed his pride, returned all his pokemon to their pokeballs, and got on the back seat, holding on to Aro.

"I hope you drive better than I assume you do. I didn't survive the Apocalyps just to die now on a motorcycle."

With Khelfin, you couldn't always tell if he was joking or if he was being serious. His sarcastic comments had this neutral tone to it.

"Well then, my knight in shining armor. Our fierce steed is ready to gallop." he said without even smiling a little, clearly expressing his inner eyerolling.
Khelfin tried to think of something quickly but just like the others, he could not figure out any masterplan. When Sabrina mentioned Dhelmise pulling a raft from Vermillion, Khelfin wondered if it could work.

"Well.. Maya's Zombie could use winged moves to get the raft in the right direction while Dhelmise pulls it forward. Aro's Apollo and my Porygon2 and Duskull could help steering with their psychic abilities. If we want to minimize the weight on the raft, Red and Taser will have to stay inside their pokeballs during the trip."

Khelfin looked at Aro and Maya's reaction. He knew how some trainers felt about their pokemons being inside their pokeballs. Yet, it was their best shot to make it from Vermillion to Olivine.
Sonia seemed to be glad to see Cedric and Marilyn but hesitated when it came to Marlon. "Sorry, I dont't seem to recognize you from the selection process. Did my grandmother invite you personally?"

Marlon took out the invitation and showed it to Sonia.

"Professor Magnolia? No, she didn't. It was Chairman Rose that wanted me here. His vice-president and secretary, Oleana, sent me this invitation."

Throwing a quick glance at Magnezone, Marlon added: "However, these two have crossed my path in the most entertaining way and it would be boring to continue my trip solo. If none of you mind, I'd like to tag along to the lab and perhaps even get a local pokemon from the professor. Magnezone here has to go home soon."

Magnezone buzzed in agreement.
