She stares blankly at Raihan, who was excitedly explaining the app and features of the phone. "So, I take photos, and share them, for people who like me to like them?" She speaks slowly, unsure if what she is saying is correct. How would she know? The only social media she uses is Youtube, not that she would be telling Raihan that. He smiles at her. "Exactly! Now, let's get your first post up! I'll be sure to mention you in my post for today." She looks at him. 'You post daily?" He nods. "Sometimes even more, I like to share my life with my fans. Everything from what I eat to my workout routines." Uila restrains a sweatdrop. Raihan rubs the back of his neck. "Of course, I am not expecting you to post like I do. It is something that keeps me motivated to continue doing what I am doing and growing stronger while documenting it." She nods. "So, how do I make a post?"
He then points out how exactly to make a post, starting with photos, adding an optional filter, then a caption. "Then you can tag people by tagging them in the picture physically, or by mentioning them in your caption." She nods. "And how would I tag you?" He grins.
"Well, you would hit the @ symbol, and then enter my username."
"And what is your username?"
"Why should I tell you?"
"So I can give you credit for this."
"I guess I should." He grabs the phone out of her hands and enters in his username.
"Dragon_King. Seems pretty fitting." Uila says after posting it, going to follow him. "Also, why did you name me Queen_Electricity?" He pauses. "Well it seemed to fit. You were the Electric-Type Elite Four member were you not?" She sighs. "Makes sense. But I was the Dragon-Type-Focused Champion." He grins. "But we can't have matching usernames. Fans might get the wrong idea." Realization hits her and she feels her face grow hot. "Right." There is an awkward pause between the two before Raihan speaks up.
"Are you still considering the Gym Challenge?" Uila puts a hand to her chin, taking a moment to really think about it. It seemed fun, and there was so much more freedom here than there was back in Kalos or Alola. "I would like to participate." His eyes light up. "Great! I'll be sure to endorse you. All challengers need an endorsement to participate." She nods and smiles at him. ."Thank you so much Raihan!" He nods, fighting back a blush at the sight of her smile.
He hands over a letter of endorsement. "The opening ceremony will take place in Motostoke 4 days from now. Get there a day early to register." She nods, noticing Lucario perk up excitement. "I want to get a starter though, I don't want to completely overpower the gyms here. I'll save that for Leon." He chuckles. "Getting cocky are we? I mean, you probably would beat him easily considering how fast you took me out, but don't get too overconfident." "I won't." Uila meets his eyes, noticing their bright shade of blue. They look at each other for a moment before Lucario snaps Uila out of her trance.
"Lucar! Io car car Lucario!" Realization hits her like a truck. "Ah shit." Raihan looks at her confused. "What?" She drags a hand down her face. "I was planning on buying an apartment today. I could only book the hotel rooms for 2 nights." "I might have a solution for that." "What?" He places a hand under his chin. "You can come and stay with me. I have enough room for a roommate in my house. It's right next to the vault, and your pokemon would be free to roam while you are out." She tackles Raihan into a hug. "Thank you so much!" Raihan stands there for a second before hugging back. When they pull away, both have a hue of red so ever present on their faces. Raihan coughs awkwardly. "So could I interest you in breakfast tomorrow before showing you to the house?" Uila nods. "Sounds perfect."
