Gladion was walking around Alola with his Umbreon. His expression stoic as always. As he walked, he turned his head to see someone...

You...

You looked similar to Ash. But realisation hit him quickly. His heart beaten faster and faster at the sight of you, which caused his green eyes to go wide a little bit. His cheeks feeling hot

"Excuse me."

Gladion said to you, walking over to you.

"I couldn't help but notice you look a tiny bit like my rival... Ash Ketchum... do you two know each other?"

Gladion added with a cold tone. His eyes were soft for you though...
