You should find Kofu standing around there, without a wallet. Before you can return his wallet though, you'll have to fight Kofu's apprentice. He uses Floatzel and Clauncher, both Water-type Pokemon you can roll over with Electric-type or Grass-type moves.

After the fight, talk to Kofu again to return his wallet. He'll ask you to bid rare Wakame Seaweed from the Hoenn Region for him as a Gym Test.

Cascarrafa Gym Test Tips and Strategies

Don't Go Too Wild With Your Bids

Pokemon Scarlet and Violet - Cascarraffa Gym Test Bidding.png
The bidding starts at 10,000 Pokedollars. You'll be given the choice to bid for either 10,000 or 15,000. Always pick the first option to be more conservative with your bid and get the seaweed for as low a price as possible.

So far, we've found that you can get the seaweed for as low as 35,000 Pokedollars, a bid that will not only beat out both of your competitors but leave you with 15,000 Pokedollars as a tip from Kofu. To do this start the bid on the lowest option then jump straight to 35,000 on the next round to get the other bidders to drop out.
