Sophie Valentine/Jin Ishida
Sophie was walking around the Island taking in all the sights, it was calm here and reminded her of home. Lock had already started things off on a bad foot with the rest of the guest, also he was the only one who brought a guest so It probably makes them look even worse. The people she had met so far were nice, though, aside from Hana Anenokoji. She was going to use this time to relax though and enjoy her time off. Lock's Pokemon are some of the most unruly Pokemon she had ever met, but each of them loves or respects Lock to death. They shouldn't be too much of a problem for him like they are for her. Sophie continued to walk with Sky and Stardust beside her, she soon saw a nice looking lakeside house. This most be where Ms. Gem is staying. Why don't we go stop by? Stardust leaped with agreement, while Sky kept her Stoic demeanor. Sophie always looked up to Jewel a bit, at least while she still competed in contests, her talent is easily at the same level of most of the other invitees, even if they differ in paths. Sophie was average at both being a coordinator and as a breeder, but taking care of Pokemon is her passion and I long she is able to complete her task she can always work to do something better. Sophie still hadn't moved any closer to the house, but she wasn't going to let her admiration for someone stall her. If she can handle Lock and his Pokemon there is very little that can shake her. Sophie began to walk up to the house, Hopefully we aren't too much of a bother. Sophie knocked on the door.
As Jin left Alex's ranch it sunk in the both of his matches were losses. He had a closer match against Alex but was that because Alex was a weaker opponent or because their Pokemon was more evenly matched. He would have to exam the matches when he gets back to his room. Now he would have to stop to see Ms. Gem, a top Coordinator, someone who would now how to use moves in a much more interesting way, something that may give him a lead in a match against some of his opponents. He would have to promise her something if the information he had on her was correct it could be of use with making a deal. If the information on her was correct he may be able to use her sister as a part of the deal, or possibly promise her the information would be locked away. After all, only the SE and Threshield himself had access to it. As Jin began to walk up to the door he saw Sophie waiting at the door, she most had taken a walk around the island if she was to end up here at the same time. Hello Ms. Valentine, taking in the sights? Jin asked at he approached the door. Sophie smiled at him and nodded, Yes, and Sophie is fine. No need for all the formalities, especially when you are older than me, Sophie is fine. Why did you come here? Jin smiled, Well, after losing to both Mr. Everett and Mr. Rhodes, I thought it would be a good idea to learn a bit from Ms. Gem about the interesting ways coordinator use the Pokemon, contest are a bit of a foreign element to me. Interesting hearing you say that though Ms. Valentine, as you speak the same way as I do. Sophie laughed a bit, he had a point after all.
Well, someone has to represent Lock's Brand well. It is a bit of a habit I have picked up since I have been working for him. As they continued their small talk, the Door opened with Jewel on the other side. Sophie smiled and waved as Jin simply bowed.
