Sophie Valentine
Sophie followed the others into the mansion looking around at all the extravagant pieces of art and such. It reminded her of the pictures of Parfum Palace that Lock had sent her. It was gorgeous, that was when Ruth Ono one of King Threshield's workers seemed to be worried out Aoi. Oh don't worry about it. It was mainly a build up of all the new people and the arguing, she isn't very good with new people or Pokemon. Sophie said with a small smile as she gave Aoi a pat on the head. Sophie looked around at the Pokemon and trainers that surrounded them, Hmm, it seems like returning the Pokemon was unnecessary as many of the trainers and even the workers seem to have them run free. Sophie said quietly to herself as they finally entered the meeting room. The Other trainers all seems to section themselves, tensions still seemed a little high thanks to that idiot Lock. He never knew how to hold his tongue for as long as Sophie knew him. While she was standing in the room looking at the beautiful furniture and artifacts in the room a familiar face showed up. Oh, Sophie!, It's been so long! I didn't know you'd be here! Things must be going well for you back on the home circuit? It was the famous coordinator Jewel Gem, they met a few times during Sophie's time as a coordinator. Oh no, nothing of that sort. I stopped taking part of contests a while back. I am a breeder now for Mr.Everett and help him with his research. Sophie replied with soft smile as she looked at Jewel. Sophie looked at Jewel and then Nanami, who was talking to Alex. Not to be rude Ms.Gem, but you and Ms. Sadamatsu look awfully alike. You two wouldn't happen to be related, would you? Sophie asked Jewel as she kept her eye on the door. That battle was taking some time, how could it be going?
Soon Sophie could see both Lock and Riza enter the room happily conversing with the shiny Heracross behind them. Lock and Riza walked up to Sophie and Jewel, but before any conversations could start, the doors at the back of the room opened up. A small Elekid and shiny Pachirisu ran into the room playing with each as a rather young looking man entered the room. Hello my honored guests, I am King Threshield. To get a common misconception out of the way, my name is King it is not a title as most seem to think. Though I am not adverse to be treated like one. King Threshield said with a smile on his face. His extravagant suit stood out with his dark blond hair and amethyst eyes staring calmly at the guest.
