Of course it had to be Hulbury that the gym leader meet up had to happen, of course. Leander tried to avoid coming back here as much as he could get away with, even when it came to promotional tours. At the bare minimum, he would be avoiding where he and his brother used to fuck around the most, less chances of getting recognized that way. He would've been able to get here sooner if he wasn't fighting his manager the whole way to the exit. 

Despite the insistence of his PR team that he head into town in a more [i]Public[/i] fashion, Oberon would've kicked his ass to Wyndon and back if he was stuck in his Pokeball for any longer. The Salamence was a quicker trip anyway, and he figured he was already behind a number of the other gym leaders in getting there. Hestia for sure. If his clothes got a little windswept on his way to the bar then so be it. His suit was easily smoothed out anyway. 

The sight of the churning waters at the edge of the docks, the rocking boats, made his stomach turn. [color=0072bc][b]"Not the time."[/b][/color] If he was having to deal with the chaos that was the combined force of Fiona, Vivi, and Sloan plus Hestia, he would need to focus.

The Cliffside, mercifully, was not near his parents lab and landing in the most empty street he could find wasn't difficult. Now wasn't the time to deal with clambering fans.

[color=0072bc][b]"Alright then, back you go. You can fight with Felon later."[/b][/color] he ignored the irritated grumble that Oberon gave him in response as he was returned to his ball. 

The revving of an engine had him skipping back a step as a motorcycle sped past. He huffed in annoyance as it skidded back around and the grinning face of Sloan appeared in his line of sight. 

[color=f26522][b]"Sorry Leander, didn't see you there! Expected you would've already been inside."[/b][/color] Her voice was chipper as she pulled her helmet free and shut off the bike. [color=f26522][b]"Usually I'm the one running late."[/b][/color]

She tucked the bike off to the side, and strode in the direction of the bar with a wave of her hand in his direction; encouraging him to follow after her. 

[color=f26522][b]"Sorry we're late!"[/b][/color] Sloan hollered out into the bar as she pushed open the door, helmet under her arm. [color=f26522][b]"You got any tips for me this time Charlie?"[/b][/color] She approached the bar; leaning on the backs of Vivi and Fiona's chairs. 

Now it would really start to get loud in here with those three together. Leander shook his head with an amused smile, [color=0072bc][b]"Evening everyone,"[/b][/color] he cut to the side to take a seat next to Luca. [color=0072bc][b]"Gin and tonic if you don't mind Charles."[/b][/color] 

It looked like they were just missing Niall and Briar, which honestly didn't surprise him, and Ryker too of course. Hopefully it wouldn't be too long before they got there.
