Opal is was a friend of your grand-mother and you were a journalist. She gave you a call that could boost your career. After all, you were close from being in debt. It was a challenge with Leon; the infamous non-beaten Gym Leader, Raihan; the Dragon Gym Leader of Hammerlocke or ‘Dragon Tamer’, some random kids as well who met Opal from before - a key for a boost!

You quickly packed up and mentally prepared to meet the Dragon Tamer and the Unbeaten. Making your way to Ballonella, bright mushrooms glowed in the dark with an endless variety of psychic and fairy-type Pokémon.

It was hours of driving since you lived so far away from Galar, the long drive made you hungry, so you stopped at a shop that served a large palette of many desserts. It had a warm and gentle atmosphere with sweet smells of fresh fruit.

Eating a soft, spongy, creamy cupcake that was easy to digest under your teeth, spotting three children seated in the booth in front, conversing about Alcremie. You watched them quietly, taking notes. Saying how Alcremie’s cream is based on the relationship with its behaviour and if it was happy, it’d be rich and sweet. The boy who wore grey and red caught Milsery with ease, named ‘Goh’ according to the other boy. Shortly, after small mayhem stayed with an uncontrollable Evee belonging to the dark magenta-haired girl and Milsery. It quickly evolved into an Alcremie after smiling and twirling in joy like whipped cream.

Once you left, you made your way to Opal’s Gym, hoping to meet Leon and Raihan. As you did, you bumped into the kid’s before, were they gonna jar this challenge with two infamous Gym Leaders?! Although, Leon was rather late, you took notes diligently of the area and coloured. The kids and Raihan glanced over at you curiously. You managed to get a picture with Raihan. Leon finally came in with a sheepish look.

Everyone was in shock at the announcement of the challenge they’d do; a decorating cake challenge with Alcremie. Soon, a group of Alcremie appeared, there were many types of colours and flavours. The boy in the colourful clothing - Ash seemed upset about not battling. Each child chose one eagerly, Leon chose his romantically and well… Raihan was trying to get out of the challenge before Opal stood firmly in front of him.

Raihan reluctantly joined after getting compared to his greatest rival - Leon’s willingness to his own, an Alcremie climbed on his back. Raihan took a picture with his grin, white teeth flashed as he posed, his tanned skin shined and cyan blue eyes with a glimmer of mischief.

“See? Don’t we just light up the screen?” He said with a charm of his. Everyone went into place for the challenge as it started. Goh being sensible used and followed a video tutorial. Ash copied eagerly without another mind but the cream dripped on his cake, he pouted. Chloe whipped her cream with confidence.

“Mom said if the cream’s too runny, place the bowl over ice and whip it while chilling it!” Chloe advised, the boys understood and followed.

Raihan whipped his cream eagerly with defiance in his eyes to win whereas Leon was more calm and composed, savouring the moment.
