Set on Professor's Hemlock's research vessel, a small section of the deck has a small table and spools of rope converted into chairs.

A young woman in a black button up shirt and jeans sits watching the ocean. Beside her is a Vulpix with small saddle bags attached to him. She's writing in a small notebook, jotting things down while waiting for trainers to be free for interviews.

Léon walks eagerly over to the table and makeshift chairs, slinging his hiker's backpack in the general direction of one of the seats only to flop almost bonelessly into it a moment later. He is tailed by a gleaming, polished Aron that seems content to sort of do it's own thing, standing up on it's hind legs to peak over the railing at the ocean. The Kalosian trainer is a bit below average height and weight and seems cheerful despite the attitude suggested by his piercings and punk-ish attire. "Je suis prêt à mettre un grain de sel. What would you like to know mademoiselle Mica? I am an open book."

Mica nods as he sits down. "Well I've been given some basic information by the professor, but I'd like to do a more in depth interview. So lets start with what made you want to come to Nutara and what do you hope to get out of this unique experience?"
As she talks the Vulpix curiously walks towards Aron, taking a seat a few feet away from him and watching the waves.

"Opportunity!" Léon exclaims with a grin, "Excitement! What could be better than to see exotic new places and new people? We will discover new or rare pokémon, new items, new technologies, all things people will want to know about or want for themselves back home. I imagine being one of a tiny handful of experts on this newly discovered region will be, ah... quite lucrative." His grin takes on a sheepish aspect.
Pyrite (actually a female, though the gender of the diminutive pokémon is obscured by the steel armor covering her body), flashes Vulpix a smile (again, obscured by her armored shell, though the smile does reach the Aron's bright blue eyes) and starts pawing through Léon's backpack. A moment later, Pyrite has retrieved a shiny, oddly geometric rock from the pack which she bites in half with a distressingly loud crunching noise. Pyrite offers the other half of the stone to Vulpix, eyes still turned up in grinning little half circles.

Mica nods with a sly smile. "Ah I see." She jots a few things down in her notebook. "What do you consider to be your greatest strengths? What do you bring to this expedition? And do you have any hobbies?"
Pixel nudges the rock with his nose curiously. He flicks his tongue out licking the rock, the pouches on the sack he wears shifting a bit as he investigates the rock. He tacks it into his mouth, having difficulty chewing, but manages to wolf it down. He nods his head at Pyrite, and happily mews. "Vulpix!"

With a grunt of exertion Léon lifts his Aron into his lap, the dense little pokémon's stubby limbs flailing in the air until she find's safety in her trainer's lap. "My greatest strength? I'd have to say it's understanding the charm of these little guys. There's always been a certain... je ne sais quoi about Steel type pokémon, I've always found them easy to understand. Simple. Direct. Strong. Resilient. I envy at times how they seem to endure anything, never giving up." Léon's tone is wistful for a moment, but he course corrects back to a cheerful demeanor after a glance at Mica reminds him this isn't just a casual conversation. "What am I saying? Right! Steel types have many strong match ups against other pokémon types. They're strong to start with and I know I can bring out the best in them." The Kalosian trainer sets his pokémon back down on the deck of the ship.
"What do I bring to the expedition?" Léon ponders a bit longer before answering this one, "Besides a strong team of pokémon and a can do attitude, I think I may be the only member from the Kalos region. I bring a unique perspective, I can share Kalosian culture with the Nutarans. You need someone on this thing who can make a proper cup of coffee and who knows what bread should actually taste like." The young man's attitude is joking, he's playing at a smug attitude.
"As for hobbies, I've been on a trainer's journey for the last few years, so training with my friends for one. I love listening to music. Rock climbing and spelunking. Snow boarding... I have a bit of a rock collection, but that's mostly for Pyrite, otherwise she would probably try to eat the hand rail!" Léon finishes with a grin. Pyrite, for her part, strenuously objects to his poking fun from her spot on the deck, "A-Aron!"

As soon and Pyrite walks away, Pixel opens his mouth and drops the rock over the side of the ship. He shakes himself a bit, trying to forget the taste, then wanders over to Mica. He sits next to her and looks at her curiously, then looks to Leon and tilts his head. "A man of many talents and interests? You should provide a lot of content for the readers back home."
She reaches down and pats Pixel on the head. "So how about we do a lightening round of quick questions, and then we can take a couple photos?"

The Kalosian tries to hide a blush at the implied compliments, clearly unused to the attention but doing his (insufficient) best to act the part. "Mais oui! Whatever you need for your work... and for what will surely become my legion of adoring fans." Léon chuckles.

Kaidan sits near enough to listen to the conversation between Mica and Léon; though he seems more interested in the Aron as he seems lost in thought watching the young Pokémon interact with her trainer.

Calvin quietly makes his way over, occasionally patting one or the other of the pokeballs at his hip and attached to his belt(left side). One seems fairly normal, and the other covered with all kinds of precise geometric notations and advanced math formulae.

Mica addresses Leon with a smile, flipping to a printed page of her notebook.
"What pokemon are you most like?
"What's your favorite post battle snack?"
"Are you sin...." She frowns as she reads the printed question, then rolls her eyes. "Apologies we'll skip that one."
After finishing with Leon's interview she will turn to Calvin. "I appreciate your patience."

Leon looks back with an uneasy smile. “People should know, yes?” He gives the impression that if touched he will run like a grasshopper. Or a Nindoran on the hunt.

"What pokemon are you most like?"This question gives Léon pause. "I greatly admire the strength of Steel type Pokémon, but..." He reaches down to stroke the shell of his iron clad Aron, "... I think I have a long way to go before I could say I resemble them. Hmmm. Maybe Drilbur?""What's your favorite post battle snack?"
"Lumiose Galette! Without a doubt." The Kalosian trainer doesn't hesitate to answer this question, evidently quite proud of his home region's signature pastry. "Are you sin...." She frowns as she reads the printed question, then rolls her eyes. "Apologies we'll skip that one."For all his bravado on certain subjects, like fame and riches, Léon can't seem to handle this one. He blushes so hard his ears start to turn red, and seems entirely unable to make eye contact with Mica or anyone else nearby. The young man's Aron, on the other hand, is a helper. Pyrite nods at Mica with smiling eyes, apparently amused at the situation. "Aron Ar!"

Calvin smiles, speaking a little hesitantly at first. "Oh, ah, no problem at all! I was not sure if I was supposed to wait nearby, didn't want to interrupt or interfere."
