"C'mon, Mo-o. We've got a long way ahead of us." The poncho-clad Trainer marched on, with his lumbering companion, a Kommo-o, steadily following him. Koa thought of the travels he had made up until his arrival at Galar, and all the adventures that would come, as well. The Alolan Dragon specialist pondered about the Gym challenge, as even if he wasn't very keen on becoming a Champion, he wanted to face strong Trainers anyway, to strengthen himself and his team before returning to Alola when he felt himself worthy. Koa also briefly considered catching a Duraludon or a Dreepy before departing, but that might have to wait quite some time, as he had spent only a small amount of time on the region. The promising young Trainer was so caught up in thought that only the warnings of his partner would bring Koa back down from the clouds.
"Komm--mooo!", roared the mighty scale-clad warrior, alerting Koa. "Oh? What is it, buddy?", replied the aspiring Dragon whisperer. As Mo-o pointed into the distance, Koa could witness a raging battle between what seemed like a Honchkrow and an Absol! "Oh, I see. Good eye!", said Koa, lightly petting the Kommo-o's nape. Intrigued by the conflict, Koa decided to stand and watch from a secluded spot, in order for him and his partner to get a taste of how Galar's trainers battled.
