[ also while she's the undefeated champion, she doesn't particularly like fighting for the title so she's leaving that to steven or wallace most of the time. when she IS doing title defense battles, however. most people just straight up decide to give up halfway fansdmfgdsf ]

Stares. He senses something about her.
She barely got off the ship from Hoenn to Alola, a lollipop in her mouth, her phone ( with Poogle Maps open ) in one hand, the other in her pockets. It takes her a few seconds to realize someone is staring, to which she slowly looks up, pops the candy out of her mouth and waves.
"'sup dude."
Sheeeeee's quite sure she saw them in the past. Some news about Kahunas or something? Welp. She's waving.

"Hmmmh, gotcha." a nod, and the lollipop returns in her mouth as she shares a chill smile with the other.
"Nah, actually, hold up just oooone sec-" she grumbles, checking the map on her phone again before opting for showing them the logo of the local motel. "You know where this is? Don't feel like getting lost right nowwww."
"Grandkid, technically." Maybe she didn't wanna talk about the whole legendary thing with a stranger? Fair enough.
"And yeah, that might have been with my demotion..." Which still sucked. Even if it meant being more free now. "I didn't mean to be a paparazzi... I was just curious. I can leave you be if you want?"
"Yep, those."
A chuckle, and she fixes a bit more the weight onto her shoulders, keeping a smile.
"Nothing wrong with liking them, y'know? A good friend of mine is reeeeeally into them too."
"I did. My big boy, behind me, actually won pretty much all the medals in the Toughness ranks back then, but we kinda realized we weren't into that stuff at all. Battling is funnier... even if the faces of the jury when someone decides to explode is always fun."
"Paperwork sucks, pretty much. I know that much." He had to deal with plenty of it as a Kahuna. It was just so mind numbingly boring...
"Into that stuff? Contests you mean?" Busted... "Well, I'd be lying if I said I didn't want to participate in one just once... It looks so cool and fancy. Have you ever done them?"
