Sinnoh

Sophie looked at the car window as her and her parents drove down the road the snow fell lightly outside, they were heading toward Snowpoint City. Her parents were heading there to do some research in the Snowpoint Temple and Sophie was to take a boat to a mysterious island with a frontier brain, Elite Four, and the champion. She had got the invitation after becoming the new Sinnoh Top Coordinator. She is very anxious going to the island believing she isn't as qualified as the many others invited. Sol sat on her lap sleeping throughout the car ride, her other Pokemon sat in their Pokeballs. " We are almost there, Sol than we get on that boat and head out to a place we haven't been before. This is our first time leaving the region, I really hope nothing bad happens." Sol looked up and nodded, he was ready for anything that would be thrown at them. A car soon came a stop and Sophie's parent began to get out, grabbing her bag she opened the door a stepped out of the car right near the dock.

"Here are your bags Soph," Her father said as he handed her two moderately large bags "one has food for the Pokemon and the other is your clothes and such right?" her father asked

"Yes dad I am not a little kid anymore." Sophie said as she grabbed her bags, she could see a small boat and with not may people going she assumed it would be that one. "Okay bye guys." she gave her parents each a kiss on their cheeks and began walking away as she looked back her mother was waving and crying a bit and her father just waved before both got back into the car to head to the temple. "Jeez both of them traveled all over the world when I was younger and now i go out and they make it such a big deal."

As Sophie walked down the dock a man in a butler uniform walk up to her, " This way miss Valentine my master has sent a personal yacht for you and the other passengers our ride is the longest of them all so he wanted you to be comfortable." Sophie followed the man to the Yacht as she entered she looked around, taking in how beautiful it was. "Follow me I will show you to your room so you can put your bags down." The man said as he walked into a hallway. Sophie followed the man down the hallway, he open the door a room and held it opened and bowed. "This is your room Mam."

Sophie walked into the room and place her bags down, the butler closed the door and presumably went to meet up with the next guest to arrive. "Well i guess it starts from here."

Zane had prepared everything for today from Lotion to the most high class poffins he had ever created. Zane's mind had been drifting for the past week on whether to plan for a trap or for a potential vacation so he decided to pack for both having escape ropes in hand; along with his most destructive Pokemon. He left the house late and quite frankly didn't care if he had been there on time as he knew the boat wouldn't leave him there; or at least that's what he hoped. He slowly made his way down the docks taking everything in as he walked. The wind was cold and pierced his nostrils every time he drew a breath in. He was staring at his Poketch while walking being paranoid about the time. He hadn't looked up until he heard a voice that stood out of all others.

"Well hey there stranger!"

He looked up and his eyes immediately locked onto someone familiar, and an extremely annoying elekid. Who had this person been? Jared of course! A friend of Zane. He grimly looked up and gave a slow careless wave. He walked over to Jared and sat down leaving some space in-between them. "A Frontier Brain and you still have a baby Pokemon? Pathetic, I wonder what the trainers think of you." He reached over to his left side and pulled out a Pokeball off his belt and threw it on the ground unleashing Inferno, the Magmortar. He looked back over at zip and smiled. "Zip, when you evolve into an Electivire I wan't to you battle here Inferno, but don't be afraid; if Jared had trained you correctly I believe you might have a chance." He smiled and looked back at Inferno.

It took Sophie awhile to gain up the courage to peak her head out of the room thinking they may be confined to the room. She looked around to see if anyone else had showed up before her as it looked very empty. With Sol by her side she decided to explore the yacht a bit, Sol quickly ran back into the room reaching into Sophie's bag grabbing all the others' pokeballs except breaker. Sophie walk into the room seeing the four Pokeballs on the bed, " Oh let the others out huh, good idea Sol." Sophie said to Sol,"ALRIGHT EVERYBODY ON STAGE!"Said said releasing all her Pokemon with her signature phrase.

Each Pokemon came out and surrounded Sol, " Alright Guys lets go exploring[."Sophie said as she walked out of the room she began to look down the hallway "I wonder will pop up next, the champion or the Elite Four member or even the frontier brain?" Sophie said as she headed down the hallway toward the main entrance. Nightmare pulled ahead of the group looking back at Sol who walked beside Sophie, Flair and and Vola sat behind the group as Sky flew above the rest checking out the top layer of the yacht. "Wow this is a pretty nice place it most have cost a lot of money."

"A Frontier Brain and you still have a baby Pokemon? Pathetic, I wonder what the trainers think of you."

"So that's how you great an old friend, huh?" Jared chuckled, the comment wasn't exactly what he had prepared for. Either way, Jared wasn't going to be bested by Zane; no way, no how. "Honestly, I have a blast!" Jared bore a heavy smirk paired with his typical excited tone. "Most trainers are shocked when Zip casts Thunder without passing out." His smirk grew as he gave Zip a quick pat. It was then that Jared noticed the aura erupting from the Pokeball, unleashing a Magmortar. The Blast Pokemon looked to be one strong adversary, but looks weren't always right. Either way, Jared could tell Zane had been training.

"Zip, when you evolve into an Electivire I wan't to you battle here Inferno, but don't be afraid; if Jared had trained you correctly I believe you might have a chance."

"Oooh hooo, a little bit of a low blow there, no?" Jared hopped off the bench, standing before Zane, with that two inch lead. "IF?" Jared bore the largest grin any man could bare. He wrapped both hands around Zip, holding him out in front of his torso. "This little guy was hand bred so that he would directly inherit Earthquake from his mother. I'd say he has a good chance." Jared gently returned Zip to his shoulder and gave Zane a light pat on the head. "Then there's the little fact he's being trained by me... you know, Plateau Master Jay." Jared chuckled a little before returning Zip to his Pokeball. The odd thing was that Jared wasn't a man of glorified titles, it just wasn't his thing. He always preferred Jared, plain and simple, but the title has been growing on him more and more, recently. "And you might get your wish with this..." Jared snatched the envelope from his pocket and flashed it to Zane, before digging his hands into his pockets once more. "Do you know if anyone else is coming?" Jared was naturally implying which of the Elite Four Zane thought would be invited, considering 'a member' of the Elite Four was mentioned in the letter.

Sophie looked around the yacht as Sky and Nightmare flew around the top of the yacht sparring much to Sophie's dismay, "Come on you two do guys really need to fight?" Sophie said as she looked down at Sol, " This is just as much your fault as it is there's you know that right?" Sol walks toward Flair and Vola, both of which were laying down relaxing. The group was alone still, nobody had showed up yet and they had been in the boat alone for an hour. "Maybe I should go see Mom and Dad, I am sure they haven't started yet they had a lot of research to sift through, and only got through about half on the ride," Sophie said out loud as Sky seemed to slam into Nightmare using Final Gambit putting everything into a last ditch attack taking them both out in one move, Sophie returned them to there Pokeballs and looked at Sol and the others, "I guess I have no choice but to go in to town to heal these two. Flair can you get my bag we are going to head to the Pokemon Center Mom and Dad are going to be staying there while in town." Sophie continued to talk as Flair got the bag and walk over to Sophie holding the bag in her mouth. "Thanks Flair, alright guys return now Snowpoint City isn't a place you two would like being fire Pokemon." Throwing the bag's strap over her head she returned Vola and Flair to their Pokeballs and threw them into her bag, she then walked toward the door, it was shut tight possibly to protect anything left inside if one of the guest were to leave for some reason. Sophie knocked on the door a couple of times waiting until the butler reopened the door.

The butler soon opened the door "Yes Ms.Valentine?" The butler asked as he opened the door, " It seems as though the others enjoy not being on time with only you making it here on time for our planned departure time," The butler sighed "but I wouldn't be able to leave without them anyway and they may be taking their time because of this."

"Oh well they may be busy, I mean they are much busier than myself with all the contest season over." Sophie said as she looked down at the ground, she was never good with asking people things, "D-do you think I could go in to town to quickly use the Pokemon center?"

The Butler looked at her and smiled "of course the others may be at the battle frontier so once you return I we will off to there" the butler said as he gestured Sophie to the exit.

"Oh… alright I will try and be quick." Sophie said while walking out out the doors to the boat. Sophie and Sol ran off toward the Pokemon center full speed, she quickly ran through the snow Sol closely behind her hopping from rock to rock that he could find. They passed the gym and many houses as well as the newly establish contest hall, this was where Sophie had gained her final ribbon needed to qualify for the grand festival, a lot of Sophie's important memories are from this town, but now is not the time she was busy and wanted to get back to the boat quickly. Sophie walked in to the Pokemon Center a Chansey walked up holding a tray with six Pokeball slots, Sophie placed Sky and Nightmare's Pokeballs on the tray, "Only those two thank you." Sophie walked up to the desk the Chansey walking beside her, "Where can I find the Valentines?" She asked nurse Joy hoping they have stopped here already.

"Oh they are in the cafeteria, but they had asked not to be disturbed while reading their research, saying it was very important they finished it." Nurse Joy said as she took the Pokeballs from Chansey.

"It is fine I am their daughter." Sophie said as she walked toward the cafeteria

"Hi Zane!"

Zane jumped as he didn't notice Timothy. "AH! What are YOU doing here? Oh right, your the Sinnoh Champion hehehe...I forgot." Zane laughed as he bore a smile on his face. He scratched the back of his head as if he had nothing to say then looked at Jared then Timothy.


"I don't believe we've met, my name is Timothy."

"Right, you don't know each other..." He then proceeded to clear his throat and pointed at Jared. "Timothy, this is Jared the Sinnoh Frontier Brain Rep. That's his annoying Pokemon Zip, apparently a pure bred Pokemon." Zane said glaring at Zip with the intent to kill.


He then turned his head to Timothy who seemed to be a bit nervous. "This kid...is the Champion hes obviously the youngest person out of the Final Five. He is gifted though... That ninjask of his took out Arcane in only a few attacks, so don't measure his skill by his age or you will end up in utter defeat." Zane grinned as his mind flashed back to the battle between himself and Timothy that seemed like ages ago.

After a lengthly conversation with her parents about family things and fun times nurse joy walked in to the back, " Your Pokemon are perfectly healed"

Sophie Smiled and grabbed her Pokeballs placing them back in her bag, Sol stand on the table quickly leaped to her shoulder, "Alright guys good bye again and thank you Nurse Joy for all the help." Sophie took off out the door, or at least tried to but but slipped on the snow and fell, "Ah man there goes all the excitement i just had, but now to return to the boat to head off to the battle frontier." Sophie got up and began to run again, Sol making sure she didn't trip at all. As she got to the dock the butler like guy opened the door as she ran in. Basically gasping for air in the main lobby hunched over, "Wow I am so out of shape I guess eating all the cake and junk at the parties everyone threw in town wasn't a good idea." Sol smiled and walked toward their room. As Sophie entered she threw her bag on the bed and laid down all of her things were exactly as she had left them. As she laid the soon the boat began to move and a digital banner on her wall stated "Next Stop The Battle Zone ETA 30 Minutes", Sophie looked at her bag of Pokefood, her brother made, and saw that Sol looked starved, with a smile on her face, she opened up the food, and gave Sol some. "So the Battle Fronteir that is where the champion, elite four, and the fronteir brain who are coming are." Sophie said as she dazed off for a little bit before being woken up by Sol who was trying to tell her the boat had now stopped quickly she got up to greet the others as the butler walked to the door. She looked down at Sol who was waiting to meet some of the strongest trainers/masters in the Sinnoh Region.
