Though he tried to relax by watching the tournament battles in the stands with his family, part of Robert just needed to go for a walk. His plan was to simply get some air, maybe even have a moment alone with his Pokemon to just think about things.
That plan was cut short, however, when he was stopped by this man... Offering to interview him? Before Robert could say anything, even ask 'Why?', the man pulled him by his arm to apparently the booth from what the man said. Seeing as the choice had practically been thrown onto him, he took a deep, calming breath as he got pulled along.
As Robert got pulled into the booth and put into a seat, he still gave a generally confused look but kept his mind to what was asked. "Well, I'm Robert Parkhurst, and I'm in the trainer program."
