[With Lance's stare, and then his ...half-baked explanation, it's a good thing that Raihan is there to fill it in- typical Lance, conveniently keeping things to himself. Blue looks between them, looking summarily unimpressed, and.... then lays Raihan's hoodie back down (gently, nicely), unhanding him to grin meanly in Lance's direction.]

I shoulda figured Mr. Caped Costume Nerd was wearing even more of a costume than I thought.... [Blue raises his hands in a shrug, then turns back to Raihan with a grin. Not that the hoodie was much better, but it was cute.] You guys in Galar have some weird taste, but I guess if you're a bunch of dragon dorks anyway, it makes sense.

....But, a challenge is a challenge, right? You better be ready when our Pokémon are restored, cuz I'm gonna show you why I'm the top Champ in Kanto. You'll be calling me senpai after I'm through with you!

[It's confident and cocky, but there's obvious enthusiasm behind it, and he has faith that Raihan, at least, will be an interesting battle. A style of battling from a region he hasn't been to before.... There's no way that'd be too boring, right?]

Better prepare yourself, dragon boy!
