Leopold had finally arrived all the way from Longsand Island to the Viore International Airport for one specific reason, one conveniently explained by the intercom.
Hoenn Flight 956, Hoenn International Airport to Viore International Airport has arrived.
"Anna! Oh my gosh it's been so long!" A man no older than 20 called out and ran up to a young, very well dressed woman. The two were both well dressed but when Anna was in the room, she stole the show being a cutting edge fashion designer. Leo grabbed his sister in a tight hug and upon releasing, uncreased alll the wrinkles he created in her stunning dress. His sister was coming through a connecting flight and upon learning that Leo had a new partner to participate in contests with, had to make it a costume. The two had already exchanged a few emails with the new Noibat's measurements as well as those of himself.
"Oh Leo it's been too long, how are you here in Viore? I have a client here, she says it's amazing and I trust she isn't wrong? Also where is the lil' cutie?" His sister said, putting a hand on his cheek, feeling for any stubble. She was a very strict person when it came to looking nice, the slightest bit of stubble and she may have taken out a razor and started shaving his face in front of everybody, but Leo anticipated all of her tricks and went to a barber right before and got a shave and a haircut. He visited a tailor as well and made sure his pale purple vest matched his deeper purple pants and dress shirt well, it was made special to match Noibat afterall.
Leo reached into his pocket and pulled out three luxury balls, the only pokeball's he bought, and tossed it in a very flamboyant manner releasing Lilligant, Banette and Noibat into the airport, the first two immediately hugged Anna while Noibat flitted about confused about the whole situation. "This is him, and oh! Looks like Lila and Carrie remember you! Oh and this little guy here is Libera!" he said, scratching the Noibat under it's chin. It let out a little 'noii' and flapped around. Other, non-first class passengers were starting to get off, and Anna was on connecting flights to Sinnoh and only had so long before she had to leave.
"Okay, sorry honey but I have to make this quick, here's a little sweater for Libera, a scarf for Lila and a nice little onesie for Carrie to sleep in. I also made you this for your next contest, don't you dare get it dirty or I will send a mob of angry models who would kill for that suit after you and you do NOT want to piss off models, trust me. They're ALL bigger than you. Tata! It was nice to see you again baby brother, bye Carrie, Lila and soooohohoho nice to meet you Libera!" she called out as a man in a suit and sunglasses gestured for her to get into a golf cart like vehicle. She kissed Leo on the cheek and gave a quick rainbow colored pokeblock to the Noibat before hopping in and speeding off, leaving Leo covered in random articles of clothing of wildly varying sizes and one box labled "Prynce" in a fancy font. Having a sister in the fashion industry was certainly useful for Leo's line of work.
Leo sighed and looked around, the sea of people was thinning and a girl with green hair caught his eye, she couldn't have been older than 10. She looked like the happiest person in the world right then. She was probably about to start a journey, she had the same look his brother had when he left for the first time with his Treeko. It had been almost 28 years and his brother was still out somewhere with his Sceptile doing something amazing. And then there was Leo, wondering how he was gonna get 5 ribbons in 5 months without any pokemon to win him a Tough or the dreaded Cute ribbon to get into the grand festival. Much like the girl's hair color, Leo looked strange in the crowd covered in multiple sets of clothing, a Lilligant holding onto one of his hands, a Noibat snuggling into a pile of clothes in his hands and a Banette trying to stuff itself into a onesie by jumping around him in a circle. Something told him today would be more interesting than previously thought.
