Suddenly in the midst of a Summer Festival--

There's a distinct sound of waves, and bustling of people nearby.
In the coastal city of Turnbloom the sun is bright and warm, and the scent of the sea wafts through with the cool gentle breeze that makes the glittering pinwheels spin, and the leaves on the palm tree dance.
Today the streets are extra decorated with these cute, colorful and floral shaped pinwheels. It seemed the people who were out in the streets were dressed in colorful summer attire--either casual, or the more traditional yukata. It seemed like with the booths were set out for both food and games for festival of some kind that was currently underway.
Just how did you get here, and why? A mystery, and it seemed the people in the streets didn't seem to notice anything out of the ordinary as they go about enjoying their time out on this bright sunny day.

However, Ingo's earnestness and unflappability has him kind of intrigued. He finds himself wanting to mess with the guy to see what it'd take to get a reaction out of him. (Also, Gold kind of just finds Ingo endearing, but he's not honest enough with himself to admit it.)
"Hey, old man! Wanna go around the festival with me?" Gold asks, grabbing onto Ingo's sleeve with his free hand and tugging slightly. "You could buy me more stuff!"

Paying for something that already needs to be smoothed over is one thing, but going around and paying for anything this child wants at the festival seems a little... much.

Off to the side, Gold's Umbreon is watching this all with a bit of second hand embarrassment.

"You realize I am also stranded here, and need to make sure to support my own finances, in case of whatever emergency may come? What I will offer you is only a battle. If you can defeat me, I will pay you as I normally would. And I will not ask for any payment from you should you lose, in consideration of your circumstances."

"Oh, yeah, I guess that's true," Gold says. Money is an issue even for grown-ups, huh. He lets go of Ingo's sleeve. But at Ingo's offering, he brightens into a far more genuine smile. "Really? Yes! I'll accept your challenge!" Gold says, brimming with confidence. "Thanks, old man! Get ready to pay up when you lose!"
(OOC: Do you want to mostly offscreen the battle? I think Ingo would definitely win.)
no subject
"Yes, yes."
At least Ingo is a professional, and plans to handle this situation with grace, whether he wins or loses. It will be fun to have a battle, anyway!
"I am a Subway Boss, Ingo. I will choose the next destination based on your talent. Do you understand Pokemon well? Can you hold on to your principle? Will you go on to victory or defeat? All aboard!"
He opens with Crustle. Good luck, Umbreon.
no subject
Mateo the Umbreon, however, steps forward with a growl, ready to fight whenever and wherever, though he pauses to give Crustle a polite greeting, as if remembering his manners suddenly.
