Raising a brow at the girl's odd introduction, the teen thought to himself, [color=f5ebbc][i]'You think...?'[/i][/color] 

As the girl explained, Gladion put a hand to his brow, nodding along. [color=f5ebbc]"I see..."[/color] Once the explanation finished, the teen's green eyes focused on the Alolan. [color=f5ebbc]"I wouldn't exactly compare Gyms to the Trials of Alola. Of which, I'm curious. You left the island without completing the challenge? I only know of one other... no, two if you count myself."[/color]

Silvally's gaze averted somewhat when asked about their journey. [color=a3a8ab]<It's a complicated situation... Gladion's mother is in a coma. He's had to take over her job... but it's been difficult on him. The rest of our companions are either watching over his mother, or taking care of the injured Pokémon back at Paradise...>[/color] A frown marred his muzzle, [color=a3a8ab]<Gladion never experienced a Trainer's journey. Not in the way most do. He's determined to do it properly this time, and his wish is to bring more Pokémon to Paradise when his journey ends.>[/color]
