Kay Grayson

Kay hated people, well most people, and so naturally she had positioned herself in the seat furthest from the highest concentration of trainers on the plane. That seat, coincidentally was also the closest to the bathroom, a blessing if there is going to be any turbulence, but a curse if any of the kids she was looking at had forgotten to use the restroom before taking off. She listened to the doctor for her room number, 204, and her partner, a boy named Clyde Coppersmith. She didn't know to whom she should offer introductions, so she figured it would be best to wait for him to introduce himself first. He was the boy, after all.

She turned her head to the window. The clouds looked like a cushion of white, and every once in a while, one of the rarer high-altitude pokemon could be spotted in the distance. She thought about why she accepted this offer in the first place. No pay, spending the whole trip with a bunch of punks, and having to listen to an annoying doctor? Compounding that onto her fear of flying, one could barely hazard a guess as to why she'd chosen to accept. The truth is that she couldn't pass up an opportunity to explore a new place and get the chance to test herself against whatever challenges lay in waiting. She'd taken two elite four challenges and had collected 22 gym badges. It had started to get repetitive, so why not do something new?

She turned back to the group. Most of them had at least one pokemon out, playing with the others or sniffing around. Kay elected not to let them out, although they probably didn't want to. Grunt, her Aggron, was much too large and would likely injure most of the others just by walking. Jet the Arcanine and Spooks the Gengar don't like anyone but her anyway. Null, her Lucario, was antisocial by nature. And of course, Vette and Chill, her Flygon and Walrein, respectively, would be much to large and unwieldy in the confines of an airplane. Instead of subjecting her pokemon and all the other trainers to that torture, she kept quiet, at a distance, and hoped no one was feeling sociable to her today.
