In the castle-like structure that is known as the Unova region's Champion's quarters, anyone who could have walked in, from the smallest child to the wisest elder, would have realized that an epic battle had just taken place. In one side of the room, a teenager with wild blonde hair held back only by his hat, which held the unforgettable pokeball insignia. Surveying the results with his fierce green eyes, and seemingly satisfied with the outcome, he patted the large orange and black striped dog's glorious mane. "Great job Justice. You're attacks get stronger every battle. I felt the heat from that flare blitz clear across the arena." The Arcanine swelled with pride at his trainer's praise. "Return." The young trainer called back his pokemon. "That was one of our best! Thanks for battling me again to see me off."
Across the arena, a fiery-haired middle-aged man could be seen. After whispering a few words of praise to the large downed fire-moth next to him, he returned his Volcorona. "No problem. I enjoy our battles. It brings me back to the days of my youth, reminds me why I journeyed out into the world in the first place." Alder said with a smile, seemingly undisturbed by his recent loss. "I'll take care of the League while you're gone. Where did you say you were going again?"
"A school called Hogwarts. They want me to teach about pokemon. It says in the letter they've never even heard of them there." He said, looking down at his X-tranciever. "Oh crap! I'm late! I still have to drop by home. Bye!" The young trainer yelled, riding off on his Arcanine he released while talking, leaving a very startled Alder in his wake. "How did he ever get the time to train?" Alder asked himself, chuckling at his young friend's interesting personality.
As some can imagine, being the mom of a National Pokemon Champion can be trying. Having to take care of some of his pokemon that refuse to be left in the PC, dusting the near countless trophies, and clothes shopping whenever he tries a new intense practice session that was a little too dangerous. But, being the positive person she is, Linda Reeves takes it all in stride. Taking all of this into account, she was only startled for a moment when her son burst through the door on his four-legged companion. "Mom! I have to go to Hogwarts in an hour and the trip to the Striaton Airport will take 45 minutes. I love you! Bye!" And with that, he was gone. Knowing he couldn't hear it, she still said "I love you too Son. Be careful." Being the mom of a National Pokemon Champion may be trying, but it's worth it, Linda thought with a smile.
Hearing the commotion from the other side of town, Cheren smiled knowing his longtime rival would soon be here. Looking around at Bianca and Professor Juniper, he motioned for them to get ready. This time though, since Justice has an admirable since of humor, he stopped right before the door to Juniper's lab, throwing the young prodigy into the room, face to the floor and butt in the air. This having been so unexpected, after taking a few seconds to realize what just happened, everyone burst into laughter. But, knowing he was in a time crunch, he took it without a second glance as he jumped up. "Cheren! Bianca!" He said as he grabbed them up in a big hug. "You guys have to take care of any bad guys while I'm gone." He said jokingly. "We will." They both said in unison, making everyone laugh again. "Dillon Jacob Reeves! In all my days as a professor, I have never met someone with as little sense of time as you." Juniper said. He turned around and faced her. "Professor! Looking as beautiful as ever! I hate to leave a woman as delightful as you, but I am a little pressed for time. Did you get what I asked?" "Yes, although it was a little hard to aquire." She said, giggling at the compliments he passed out while handing him a package. "Thank you so much! This will help with the teaching a lot." Dillon hollered, before hopping on Justice, who was still grinning from throwing his trainer down, and sped off. "What was that?" Cheren asked, being the always studious person he was. "I'm Sure Dillon will tell you all about it when he gets back." Juniper said, smiling. "I hope everything works out for him." Bianca said, watching the fading site of Dillon on his awesome Arcanine. "It will. I know it will." Cheren said reassuringly, patting Bianca on the shoulder.
