Disclaimers: This will be the last Legend series for SOTF Pokémon Uprising fanfic. Unlike the last two, this third fanfic introduced several of my original character, including Edward and Sasha who previously appear on the first Legend series. This fanfic will also include a Pokémon battles that I had been meaning to do to help SOTF find some kind of middle ground after all the absurd Pokémon games and (from my perspective) fan harassment to introduce later generations of Pokémon (Gen V and so on). Since I'm more grounded than SOTF, most of my Pokémon selection has been Gen IV and never the later generations. However, due to the later Pokémon update rooster, only a few Gen V Pokémon will be mention or appear.

Unfortunately, SOTF has given his reason for not continuing the series as of late; since he is now working, dealing with real life situation and working the hours away, he is unable to update or write any newer fanfic. Plus most of his beta reader has vanish or no longer active on the site. He did not abandon the story as of this writing, as he did mention that he did make several chapters ahead but never got to publish it due to his vanishing beta reader.

If you are reading Soldier, this two chapters is for you.

Please read and review, and go check up on SOTF for his Pokemon Uprising series.

Part 1 Legendary Encounter.


===Pokénews Daily===

Hello fellow citizens, and welcome to Pokénews Daily where we cover news, Pokémon highlights and special events.

In today's news, the renounced Pokémon Ranger Corp is still hunting down the remaining UAAF members and its collaboration after many months ago where the once peacekeeping military force defunct and declare war on the populace as a whole. Details regarding the operation is thus far being tightly sealed, but we manage to get an excellent comment on one of the field commander of the Pokémon Ranger Corp.

"The operation is still ongoing, and we can be more grateful at such operation thanks to our well trained and cared Pokémon. They help us find those son of a 'beep!' and root them out like the Ekans they are."

In other news, reports from Hoenn region that a new crime syndicate known only as 'Team Cyber' is causing massive scandal on the general public and a number of veteran Pokémon Ranger are on the case led by the infamous Nick 'Havok' Parker himself. We have also receive word that Kellyn and Leon will be in this operation, veterans from the UAAF battle many months ago. Let us hope that whatever crime syndicate it is may not be as devastating as Team Galaxy.

On to the next news, this evening during the Unova Circuit League, the stadium was attacked by an unknown assailant who not only manage to subdue the Unova top ranking Rangers, but also subdue a number of Pokémon trainers in the arena. Lance, the Dragon Trainer and a former Elite Four on the Kanto/Johto league, along side a number of Champions from other region attempt to subdue the unknown assailant but are defeated. The unknown assailant walk out of the stadium after a few speeches are exchange.


It has been several months since the massive battle between the UAAF and its lackeys who are up against the Pokémon Ranger and the support of the legendary Pokémon, with the latter stood triumphant just by a hair. Most of the world knows what the UAAF did and their notorious record that stain the trust of world leaders. Most members are still being hunted down, while those who support these nefarious organization like Team Rocket gone into hiding. The world is now a step closer to the usual, peaceful lifestyle. Barren wasteland, resulted by various amount of explosion or energy detonation, both from Pokémon and from human technology are slowly recovering. For the land that was beyond recovery, Jirachi, Mew and Celebi simple work their magic to revitalize the land back to the way it was. As for the foul structures left by the UAAF, Epsilon the Deoxy have that covered.

The by-product of the UAAF super soldier program that was used during the battle, many had stolen the appearance of many highly skilled Pokémon trainers are decommissioned and any remnant of said soldier are left for the Ranger's to deal with. Veteran Ranger's from previously mentioned conflict such as Kellyn and Parker are on the case, rooting out any of them and they will not left a stone unturned until they are all captured, dead or alive. They prefer to nap them alive though, as they could use their skill to booster the Ranger's dwindling numbers several fold. Not many officers agree with these ideas, but Leon insist that it is possible, and since Havoc loves a challenge (being persuade by Kenny no less), Havoc decides to 'nap em all'.

One such super soldier who defect from the UAAF decides to roam free, the chain of fate no longer shackle with her, and knowing that her new found friends are just a call away, the lone ex-soldier alongside her trust golden Scizor Pokémon roam the land, collecting gym badges, battling trainers and taking a scenic route to ease her mind. She forgo the usual outfit for fear of mistaken by others as May, she decides to wear the uniform from the Kanto region in white overall with red strips and fix her hair to a ponytail fashion. She now carries the standard Pokémon backpack with her since her last one was destroyed.

Her name is Raine, with her companion Pokémon, Blade.


(Sinnoh Region, Canalave City)

"Ah, another beautiful day, isn't it?" the ageless girl said, stretching herself with a wide smile on her face. After going across the world discovering new friends and new Pokémon, it's good to be back where she started from. Renting a room in Lapras Resting Lounge motel for the night was worth it.

"Depends," Blade, the golden Scizor reply with a shrugged gesture, "If you mean by trashing you opponent in an unwinnable situation while casually looking for a challenge, then perhaps so."

The young girl bubble her mouth, pouting. Blade isn't going to let yesterday event go unnoticed, "Well, it's not my fault that their Pokémon are so easy, I mean, I even give them a head start against an easiest Pokémon I have!"

"Yes, against SPIRITOMB of all Pokémon at your disposal." Blade roll his eyes, "That's like sending Ryndon against a Rattata."

"Oh shush, that Elite Trainer knew it was coming, and for once, it wasn't a powerful Rattata like good old Joey." Raine reply, fiddling with her phone, "I wonder if it evolve to Raticate yet? The last time we battle his Pokémon almost did some serious damage to Swampert."

"Probably boosting how awesome his Rattata, again." Blade comments, since out of ten calls from him, 9 of it just have Joey boosting his Rattata pure awesomeness. Infernape must have taken quo from him, boosting and all.

The duo proceed to walk around the city after what seemed to be many years of leaving Sinnoh Region. Her return here is obvious; she wants to qualify her trainer status on the local Pokémon Researcher and finally enter the Unova Circuit.

"Hey! Raine! You haven't forgotten about us are you?!" a female voice calls out at Raine, emerging from the Lapras Resting Lounge motel with a male companion.

Raine knew those two, and currently, are her best two friend she ever wanted; Sasha is a young, slim and rather tall for her age wearing an all indigo overall, leather jacket, jeans and backpack. Even her shoes are indigo in colour. The Pokémon next to her, an Empoleon, the majestic Water/Steel final evolution of Piplup share Sasha's annoyance. The other, a young male with a smart attire is a far cry from Sasha and Raine common appearance. The young man looks like he is going on a business trip with his clean white uniform, ironed dark pants and equally ironed tie, though it is hidden behind a scarf he always worn wherever he goes. Just because he is wearing a pair spectacles doesn't mean he is harmless. His Espeon is no slouch either.

Sasha Pokémon is mostly comprised on Sinnoh Region Pokémon, and unlike Raine who is fixated on only owning 6 Pokémon, Sasha has many Pokémon at her disposal, but only the main six are her prized fighters. These are Empoleon, Luxray, Roserade, Heracross, Drifblim and Garchomp. Three of her Pokémon, Empoleon, Luxray and Roserade has attended to the Pokémon Beauty Contest at least twice to stay in a competitive side other than to power through her status as a Pokémon trainer.

Edward on the other hand is very versatile, more so than Sasha and Raine. For starters, Edward owned all 7 Eevees, the seventh member, Espeon was not meant to battle; it is too powerful to be allowed to battle, according to Edward, though Blade and Empoleon believe that he cared for Espeon too much. Iris, Edward's Espeon didn't mind that her trainer didn't allow her to battle. The other six are Vaporeon, Jolteon, Flareon, Leafeon, Glaceon and the rare Slyveon. He did not own Umbreon for personal reasons. All of his Pokémon knows Baton Pass, and from Blade's experience, it is a very dangerous ability, even if it does no damage during a battle.

None of them knew of Raine former allegiance with Team Rocket or the UAAF, and she prefer to stay that way.

"Sorry guys," Raine apologize sincerely, "Just wanted to get some fresh air is all."

"You could have said something though," Edward casually reply, adjusting his spec while combing his messy hair.

"Really, now, rude!" Sasha add her two cents into the conversation. "After you drag us back and forth, going to the mountain freaking Silver and then sail to the Orange Island and then sail back here... MAKE UP YOUR MIND RAINE!"

Raine pull up a defensive hand up, "I'm sorry! Really I am! I didn't forget you over battling some random trainers, honest!"

Blade roll his eyes at her answer, obviously knowing that she has forgotten about them despite being in the same room with them. She's only out here to battle more trainers. But for the sake of Raine, he shrug just as quickly as he roll his eyes. Empress, Sasha's Empoleon took notice of this, as well as Iris.

"She was planning to leave without us is she?" Empress huff, narrowing her eye.

"I'm not going to engage into this conversation." Blade reply bluntly.

"She definitely did," Iris the Espeon jump in, giggle at her own pace, "Your cute Blade, especially when you stagger for answers."

"Keep your opinion to yourself please," Blade huff, crossing his pincer on his chest, "I would rather stick with what I have and not salvage the situation in the near future; Raine has been jumping boat by boat like a loaded cannon and I can barely keeping up with her antics."

"Well, most human girls are, aren't they?" Empoleon reply, flapping her fin. Espeon sigh disappointingly at her reply.

"No, most girls don't; Misty has a merit to back her claims, being a gym leader once, Dawn and May aren't brazenly and willing enough to do the same and Bianca is just plain innocent. Raine is just unique in most cases." The golden Scizor reply accordingly, "As for Sasha... Well, its complicated..."

While the Pokémon continue to have fun gossiping (which slightly irritate Raine since she could understand Pokéspeech), the three young trainers plan their next move, which has already decided by their de facto leader Raine; Sandgem Town.

"So, now that we are wide awake and already out on this sunny day," the young man said in a well manner fashion, "Shall we depart? Or are we content to just stand here arguing?"

"Well I never!" Sasha exclaim sharply. "Wait a moment will you? A lady needs a proper time to do with her business."

"Please, take your time." Edward reply gently. His warm smile and cheerful tone is always music to Sasha's ear as she march back to the lounge with her Empoleon following not far away.

"Don't take too long though!" Raine put her two cents, which quickly infuriated Sasha demeanor, stomping into the lounge like a pissed off Groudon. Raine scratch the back of her head, puzzled, "Something I said?"

Edward could only offer her a wide smile at the confuse Pokémon trainer, chuckling inward.


Several minutes (and an angry rant) later, the three member embark on a new and yet familiar quest to return to Sandgem Town to meet up with Prof. Rowan. Despite owning flying Pokémon, Edward didn't own any flying types, so all three had to travel by land. Edward didn't mind if the girls gone ahead, which Raine almost accept it before getting another scolding from Sasha to be ladylike. Raine isn't too thrilled about it.

"Relax," Blade gently said to the ex-soldier of the UAAF, "We can cover a lot of ground just as everyone else. Plus, we can battle other formidable Pokémon trainers along the way, further improving our group member as a whole."

"I guess so," Raine acknowledge the logic behind it - she still wants to finish this business of hers so she could get to Unova Region as a legit Pokémon trainer. "Some of my Pokémon do need to brush up their skill though. Endurance and stamina is also important as well."

"Hopefully with enough training, most of my Pokémon natural weaknesses won't affect them too much." Raine continues, picking one of her Pokéballs containing Infernape and held it tightly on two hands, embracing it lovingly. "A massive power-up is definitely in order."

"Not in a short moment of time I hope," Blade narrow his eyes, "Despite improving our party of Pokémon and a multitude of experience from the UAAF battle, we hardly manage to get past Red's overly powerful Pokémon."

"Yeah, but at least we improve so much more than before." Raine gives a small smile, she stops near the stall selling food before deciding to purchase some food. She continues, "I mean, long ago I didn't even consider my Pokémon as a companion; I've been taught to accept that my Pokémon are a tool. After that faithful battle, it makes me think stuff much clearer as to why I fail."

"That's not all of it," Edward said suddenly, who is eavesdropping their conversation, "If what I'm hearing is true, than you are also not considering your Pokémon trustworthy. Trust is a fragile thing after all, it is between the trainer and their selective type of Pokémon that not only share such traits, but also kindle their overall fighting spirit."

Raine wanted to scold Edward for intruding, but Blade manage to beat her to it, "That I agree. I believe it is also this trust that makes your Pokémon a formidable foe, with the right Baton Pass move and the right Pokémon to be send out could be disastrous for your foe."

Edward is always fascinated by the golden Scizor with telepathy powers; it is already a rare sight to see a golden colour of an evolutionary stage of a Mantis Pokémon in real life, but to be able to understand it via telepathic communication is equally as rare. When Raine first introduced the two to Blade the Golden Scizor, imagine Edward and Sasha surprised when it greet back in their mind.

Edward rub his chin, smiling gently as a gentleman should, "Tell me Blade, being the most observant party member of all, why is it that Pokémon work more efficiently when they are have the trust of their trainers as to oppose to the one who isn't?"

Blade narrow his eyes; he already knew the answer to that, but there are times when he would ask a question that a ten-year old already knew. On the other hand, Edward just love to mention this sort of question just to indirectly ask Raine if she knew about such topic. As much as the Mantis Pokémon would love to see the ageless trainer mumble and groaning upon such questions, it has become apparent that Edward is indirectly telling you to stop being a moron for a change and start acting like you have more common sense than the Pokémon Researcher.

"That's no brainer," Sasha are quick to reply, catching up the topic about it, "Trainer who earn the trust of their Pokémon are more acceptable to the command you gave them. Trainer who did not gain any kind of trust not only be rejected, it can also endanger the life of a Pokémon trainer; very few trainer on Sinnoh consider owning a Garchomp as a requirement to prove themselves as a Pokémon trainer end up in the news story with missing limbs due to misbehaving and ineptitude on the trainers side, and are not probably train on the Pokémon side."

"Which is weird considering that Raine carries Dragonite and not Garchomp," Edward casually reply, his calm smile did not diminish, "Do you have an issue about Garchomp, Raine?"

"I prefer a wide variety of Pokémon to cover each teams specific weaknesses, and Dragonite was my first choice over Garchomp mostly because it is very adorable and much easier to look after. Unlike that Unova Hydreigon - I heard stories about it, really nasty ones. That one was enough to put me off from owning such Pokémon."

"Not to mention how dangerous Hydreigon is," Blade comments, "I heard Lance tried to own it once such species existed; it took a combine effort of two Dragonite, Salamence and Garchomp to control it, and even then it is very stubborn."

"All the more reason I'm not going to own it." Raine stops herself as she produce several sticks of delicious jumbo sausage in three paper bag. She present it to Sasha and Edward, "Have some, my treat."

"Why thank you," Edward thank Raine. A quick glance at the content of the food makes his mouth water, "I can't finish most of these, so I'll just give some to my Pokémon then. I'm sure they'll enjoy it."

Sasha however look repulse, "Err... Okay... Free food and all," she cringe seeing how oily it is. Her Pokémon, Empress the Empoleon is looking forward at it.

"Not the greatest food of all," Raine acknowledge Sasha repulsive nature on 'commoners' meal, "But if we keep going to those five-star restaurant and eat meal that would put Bill into financial crisis, then we had to be more careful with our spending."

Sasha stare at Raine with an accusing glare, frowning at her choice of words. "Yeah, well, thank you all the same..."

Sasha cringe even further just by holding the bag of food as if it is an offending Muk near the sewer system. She was about to hand it over to her Pokémon when Raine said the next bit, "Your welcome, it's going to be our breakfast and lunch throughout this journey."

Empress immediate frown when the bag of jumbo sausage is immediately being pull back, with Edward's Espeon giggle at the interaction.


After a few blocks and a visit to the Pokémon Center later, three trainers and their respective Pokémon exit Canalave City and onward on Route 218. Edward much down the jumbo sausage Raine bought earlier, giving his Espeon a chunk of said sausage as well. Sasha is half enjoying, half disgusted by the object which is called a food. The trainer in indigo pallette had to divide the food to two and gave the largest one to her Pokémon in order to spare herself from chewing this very offensive meal down her throat.

Raine couldn't help it but to feel repulse by her attitude, since during her 'birth', food is very much a luxury for her and almost to the point of worshipping a fictional food God for more. After the UAAF event and after the Alto Mare water parade where she try to win in first place against a merit of trainers (one of them happen to be Ash Ketchum, her secret admire), it was only several months later when Raine met both Edward and Sasha during a return trip to Sinnoh Region. Both trainer wanted a duel against her, like most Pokémon trainer do, but what drives her to have two strangers to be her friends was their powerful Pokémon and how both of them employ it's tactics.

Keep in mind that Raine is an ex-soldier of Team Rocket and UAAF, engineered to be extremely provision with any Pokémon and allows her Pokémon the same drive as her. Edward and Sasha push Raine to the point of defeat, which is very rare coming from common trainers with the exception of Red the Pokémon Master.

After Raine sound defeat, she invited the two trainer from Sinnoh to venture to Mt Silver, to meet up with a certain legend who sat at the top of the world. Edward is smart, so he has least reason to join her, but Sasha is stubborn, taking the bait that had Raine embark on another journey to the Kanto Region with two complete stranger turned friends.

Raine knew Edward well, since he ask a truck load of questions before they step into Mt Silver, so she bargain that for each question he ask her, she gets to ask him a question, which he agrees. Edward is basically Ash Ketchum on Sinnoh Region, but more modest and very likeable, as well as placing the importance of companionship over trivia matter like food. He is a city boy as some would say, and social interaction is his game. His goal in life is to complete the most impossible task given by Prof. Rowan; collect every Pokémon data into the Pokédex to complete the National Pokédex, this includes the mythical legendary Pokémon. His first Pokémon, Iris the Espeon was a gift from none other than Prof. Oak from Kanto Region, and is fascinated by its evolution. Funnily enough, he live in Twinleaf Town, but was born on Vermilion City.

Edward Pokédex record is now 337 seen, 297 captured.

Sasha on the other hand does not share any similarly to Edward, but consider him as a close friend. Born and raise on Jubilife City, it is only natural for her to feel more entitled to enjoy the bustling life of the city, but lack actual friends outside of a shady ones. Granted, Sasha was brought up by a very high living lifestyle. Why she chose to be a Pokémon trainer was beyond Raine understanding since she could be enjoying her entire life on some rich bungalow at the farthest reaches of the Earth for all Raine would care, but Edward manage to shorted Sasha's very long back story; she got bored living such a lifestyle and wanted something more than being groom and treated like a child. Being a Pokémon trainer was her option to be free from such boring life of empty grandeur. Sasha was also very lonely in a way, having only the young man Edward to be her only friend on the Sinnoh Region.

Thus far, she only capture 60 or so Pokémon, higher than Raine but shorter from Edward. She didn't mind however; she didn't plan to collect Pokémon data like Edward does nor achieve the most Pokémon than everyone else, she's here to escape her boring grandeur life, and is perfectly fine to one day return home with the life experience she had gathered.

Raine gave some of the same jumbo sausage to Blade, but is denied. The golden Scizor didn't bother with human meals; he didn't particularly enjoy it all things considered, since he prefer to hunt for his meal rather than being handed food in front of him. There are exceptional at times to show his civility among the collection of friends and Pokémon alike, but as far as Raine knows, Blade is still a wild Pokémon; it was his honor and duty that cling onto Raine for as long as he want to.

Edward and Sasha had once question Raine if Blade is her Pokémon which she quickly reply them back with a no. This adds another mysterious layer of question; why is a golden Scizor, unaffiliated with this trainer albeit capturing it, be this loyal and faithful? Both Raine and Blade are not comfortable with the question, since it would have easily tie them up to the Team Rocket incident many months ago.

Just as Raine, Edward and Sasha walk pass the directional signboard while having a deep conversation, a single Pokémon Ranger walk pass them, with a familiar Sceptile, walking at a quicken pace than normal. Edward and Sasha did not mind the Ranger, but to Raine and Blade, both of them are recognizable.

"Leon?" Raine said softly upon recognizing the young Ranger. Edward and Sasha stop immediately upon hearing a familiar name, all turn and waiting for the young Ranger to greet them back. The young male human pause for a moment, turn to his side slightly as his eyes met her gaze. His Sceptile did the same upon noticing it's trainer stop to address the young girl who call out on him. Sceptile eyes locked onto Raine, before he shift his gaze at the golden Scizor instead.

Raine blinked; this is not the Leon she knew. His eyes looks harden, much thicker eyebrow, his lower jaw is rough, his friendly smile is replace with a frown. He also looks older, several years in fact, despite just meeting each other about a couple of month ago on Mt Silver. Heck, she even introduce Edward and Sasha to Leon, and the loveable idiot was flabbergasted at the elegant Sasha and taken aback at Edward civil looks. This 'Leon' just gaze at the youngest (physically) member of the three before he shot his eyes at Edward and Sasha. His choice of words however seals the deal.

"Yes, may I help you young girl?" 'Leon' said in a rough tone.

Multiple scenario immediately played in Raine's mind, but one major conclusion just pop in her mind, "Wait a minute, your not Leon! Who are you?!" She cried accusingly, complete with her finger pointing at him.

This interaction cause two of her friend to slowly approach red-haired trainer, each slowly draw their Pokéballs in hand. 'Leon' remain calm however, casually rubbing his temple, "Look kid," he begin, "you address me by my name, and now you ask me who I am? Make up your mind kid. I don't have all day, especially when I would run a risk."

"What sort of risk?" Edward casually said calmly, but his facial expression is anything but calm, "Are you running on an errand? Perhaps a mission?"

'Leon' notice the looming threat coming from Edward. He shake his head, "Can't tell ya; classified information. Authorised personal only."

Raine didn't like this 'Leon' and the way he talks. The Leon she knew is more social and has no problem revealing a small tidbits of information, especially among friends; this one out right denies such information. Is he another UAAF super soldier leftover? Perhaps he's here to cause a trouble? On Sinnoh Region no less? He cannot be roam free until Raine got some answers! "Well, WE are authorized to know, so we're going to beat that information out of you!"

Blade, who is standing at the side, gave a heavy sigh, "Here we go again..."

"Three Trainers against one!" Sasha exclaim heartily, "Not your lucky day pal!" She toss her Pokéball as the content pop open at mid-air, releasing Heracross.

"I hate being a bully," Edward said, acting like a gentleman, as he release Jolteon from his own Pokéball. It stood readily besides Heracross.

"Prepare to taste justice!" Raine pull a one-liner (and at the side, causing Blade to facepalm himself) and toss her own Pokéball containing Swampert. Both Edward and Sasha is a little dumbfounded at Raine one-liner, which cause her to ask, "What? Too much?"

'Leon' however is not amuse. "Three against one? How brave of you." he said as he toss three Pokéball on his side, each release a Pokémon that all three trainer could not believe their eyes.

All three trainers are utterly shocked, so as their Pokémon; Darkrai, Latias and Raikou! Three legendary Pokémon! Darkrai yawn aloud before gazing at Jolteon, Latias giggle in an all familiar feline tone, locking her target at Heracross, and Raikou stood on all four majestically, eyeing at Swampert. The three trainer Pokémon gulp aloud; they all could handle 3 pseudo-legendary Pokémon without a problem, but a 3 legendary Pokémon? Do they even had a chance?

"Oh dear..." Edward smile nervously, "This can be a problem..."

"No kidding..." Sasha agrees, swallowing her pride, "Three legendary Pokémon under this guy's belt..."

Raine however was more straight-forward; she recognized the Latias, so naturally she call her out, "Latias! It's me, Raine! You friend! Why are you with him?!"

Latias giggles, "Silly girl, I'm always with my master. And just who are you anyway? You look awfully familiar for a girl named Raine that we know about."

Raine blinked, 'a girl that we know about?'

"No, this is wrong! You were supposed to be adventuring with Ash! You were his!" Raine pointed out, still puzzled over her previous statement.

"Huh? Who's Ash?"

If the previous statement didn't swallow her senses yet, this one question from Latias simply swallow her whole; did this 'Leon' wannabe captured her or something, forcing her to forget who Ash is?! It really seemed like it, and brainwashing was a modus operandi for the UAAF (and so some extend, Team Rocket). Needless to say, Raine now have a good reason to free Latias from this person who would dare impersonate her close friends.

"This is bad, we need to help them!" Blade announce his intention to Iris and Empress, which both Pokémon agrees and stood just behind Swampert, Jolteon and Heracross respectively. Six against three may have been illegal in a Pokémon battles, but when three of that Pokémon happen to be legendary, all bets are officially off.

Just as Raine and her friends gave the signal to commence battle, 'Leon' seem to be distracted by something, his left hand swiftly place beside his left ear, whispering words from what appears to be an advance Pokétech, locked on his left arm. With a huff, he withdraw all three legendary Pokémon back to their Pokéballs, surprising the three trainers.

"Huh, did you just give up?" Raine said bluntly, earning the party members a sweatdrop.

"I don't think he is giving up," Edward gave a reply, " But something did stop him from proceeding to wipe us to the floor with his three legendary Pokémon."

"Or someone..." Sasha said, spying another trainer walking casually behind Mr Imposter. Sasha blink for a moment, recognizing her at the distance, before she threw a glance at Raine and forth. She let out a confusing mumble. "What the..."

Raine flabbergasted at the approaching small young trainer as well, not because It looks intimidating or monstrous, but because she cannot fathom such a rare encounter.

The young male trainer are quick to note the casting glance over his shoulder. He turn his attention to the side, just enough to look behind as he cannot risk dropping his guard down. Just like Sasha mentioned, another trainer, worn an overall coat and hood walking towards them, but her face is instantly recognizable. Edward, Sasha, Raine, and even their Pokémon just stood there in disbelief.

"Hey Leonidas, you done with whatever business with Kellyn yet? We're not suppose to linger in this world too long you know." the young trainer address to her friend, apparently named Leonidas. She does a take two upon noticing the three trainer before Leonidas, "Oh, Leon, do you really have attract my alternate me and her friends? Really? What happen to being subtle?"

"They were the one who started it, Ms Reddins." Leonidas argue back, crossing his arms, "Especially your lookalike. She probably mistake me as the other version from this world, the one who we cross path to before."

"Oh, you mean that sweet kid who keep blushing and popular to the girls? I never knew... Then again you on the other hand is a major disappointment."

"Wait a minute, hold up, stop talking!" Raine cried aloud, staring at the two individuals that is talking things over her head. She clutch her side head from all the headache she is getting; this is too much to bear, "Who or what are you people?! Are you people from the UAAF, Team Rocket, or whatever criminal teams sick jokes?!"

Her screams attract a lot of passing travelers, trainer and Ranger included. Edward quickly took note why she scream; she is afraid. Afraid of things that she could not understand. Blade instantly knew of this, and are quick to comfort the confused clone.

The young female trainer in coat also note by her behavior, and are quick to react, "This isn't the most welcoming place to discuss about 'who or what we are', it attracts unwanted attention." She address it to Edward, of all people, "We should go to a secluded place, away from people."

Edward ponder for a moment, "There is a small Inn, hidden just south of here. No trainers ever been there before since it is from the beaten path. We can discuss over there."

"Perfect," chime the young female trainer, "That's just like you Edward, always resourceful in every way."

The young bespectacled trainer hum in approval.


(Route 218, Spiral Celebri Inn)

"Hello, my name is Raine, Raine Reddins. Nice too meet you, my alternate buddies, oh and myself!"

"Hi..." Raine replies, half sheepishly, scratching her head after a lengthy explanation, "You... You sure your not a clone or something?"

"Raine, she said she isn't already. Give it a rest." Sasha said, her Empoleon nod besides her.

Raine is still feeling really sceptical about this whole 'cross dimensions business'. Long story short, Leonidas and Raine Reddins are alternate version of this worlds original counterparts, where history, and people live much differently than the ones from this world.

During the entire explanation, Blade, Edward and Sasha are very, very interested in it, from the smallest difference to the one that could level a mountain (quite literally; this world Mt Moon lost its 1/3 of its mass due to natural disaster -cause by Raine, of course - while on other worlds, Mt Moon remain unchanged). This is where the difference separates them from fact and fiction. Empress and Iris is also interest on the subject, though they are more interest in sparring than anything.

Throughout their discussion, Edward, Sasha, Blade and Raine learn their counterparts history, but most importantly, who they are. Alternate version Leon, namely Leonidas is a former Pokémon Ranger, who return his Ranger's badge to his superior to continue his Pokémon trainer routine. The reasoning is due to his brother's death in the line of duty. His brother's death lead him to depression, further fueling him with the needs to avenge Kellyn. Since he is a Pokémon Ranger, he can't exact revenge since he is suppose to be a benevolent to all matter of life. So he took his Ranger's badge and return it to his superior, giving a reason to go on a soul searching when he became a vigilante against crime. He crosses path with Raine Reddins a few times, several in fact cause both him and her battle it out due to a mistake he bluntly accuse her to be as an agent.

As for his Pokémon, he has Sceptile, his starter Pokémon and a loyal partner through and through. Then there is his Lapras which he rescue from the poaching Team Rocket, and his favorite of all, Dragonite. Raine is quick to reflect how this worlds Leon also has all three, in his party, with the exception of Dragonite; she feel sad now that she thinks about it. As for his legendary Pokémon, Darkrai belongs to Kellyn, but sworn allegiance to Leonidas to avenge Kellyn. Latias belongs to him, after the alternate version of Oakley and Annie manage to kill Latios and causing a disastrous downfall on Alto Mare. According to Leonidas, Alto Mare is no more, and Latias follows Leonidas wherever he may go. As for Raikou, Leonidas caught it after a high streak between himself and multiple arm guards. Long story short, Leonidas befriend Raikou, Raikou zaps the bad guy, Raikou is his.


"Perhaps you should let them introduce themselves proper." Leonidas said, releasing each and every Pokémon he own. Thankfully, this room they rent is large enough to allow even Snorlax to emerge. Anything larger than Snorlax is out of the window.

Lapras emerge from Leonidas Dive Ball. This Lapras sings as she emerge, and like most Lapras, her voice can easily charm even the harden veteran. Upon release, Leonidas gave her a rub beneath her neck, and the Transport Pokémon greatly appreciate it. She nuzzle him back in return, rubbing her face against his. "This is Serene." he addressed, "Born in captivity and raise with a silver spoon in her mouth, Serene is surprisingly adapt to living in the wild. The Team Rocket situation did not help matters however."

The next Pokémon emerge from Leonidas Pokéball is the first generation pseudo-legendary Pokémon Dragonite, and it howl triumphantly, ready for a fight. Unlike Lapras, the Dragon Pokémon did not like to be cuddle, but instead, gave a high five at Leonidas. Raine Reddins, Blade, Edward and Sasha cringe, especially when pseudo-legendary Pokémon tent to have powerful physic strength at their side, and high five a human being tend not to end well. The other Raine however is in awe; she always wanted to high five her Dragonite. "This is Rufus. He's sort of a blood knight among my other Pokémon, and has a habit to attack first before reason. Got me in trouble a few times, but I appreciate his present nonetheless. A bit of a wanker if you know what I mean."

This earn Leonidas a hard slap against the back of his head by Rufus, clearly offended by his choice of words, and Leonidas laugh at such reaction. Again, Blade, Raine Reddins, Edward and Sasha cringe at such action.

"For the love of Arceus Raine, do not teach your Dragon Pokémon to high five you. I hate to see that arm of yours split to two." Blade quickly address his concern over the genetically enhanced female Trainer, seeing how her eyes widen at such prospect.

Sceptile is next, walking next to Rufus before saluting to the gang. This gives a hint that Sceptile's Ranger training program is still in affect, despite no longer affiliate with such. Leonidas didn't mind, giving off a wide smile. "And this is Dominix. My very first Pokémon. Nay, more than a Pokémon - we're practically brothers at this point."

"You know, Dominix seemed really strong," The genetically enhanced female Trainer pointed out, "He seemed more... radiant with energy."

"No surprise there; this Leon must have train his Pokémon with some kind of special method." The Mantis Pokémon reply in kind, rubbing his chin similar to humans do, "I believe it was called EV Training or something along the lines."

"I'm not surprised that he did," Sasha pointed out, "Normally, Sceptile would look confident, but that was just a front. Leonidas Sceptile looks like he's been through a war and back."

"That's actually no further than the truth," Raine Reddins are quick to point out, "Dominix here certainly qualifies for a Pokémon with unrivaled skill; he once took out my Infernape and Dragonite, no easy task that one is."

All three trainer stare at the otherworldly female trainer, "Your serious?" Raine asked, before eyeing at Sceptile with a new horror in her little heart. Scizor felt challenged just by giving a curious gaze at Dominix. The only thing that was holding the Forest Pokémon was it's self restraint and it's civil behavior not to attack any unwanted Pokémon just because someone is looking at you funny.

Raine Reddins continues, "Yup, only Blade was able to held up against Leonidas Sceptile, but just barely."

The golden Mantis Pokémon retorted; even he had trouble holding up Sceptile?!

"Wait, you mention Blade." Raine counterpart ask her back, "You have a golden Scizor as well, who is psychic?"

Ms Reddins rub the back of her head, "Well yeah, I do. But his not here now - he had enough interdimensional travel and would rather sit at the otherworldly checkpoints. Can't fault him though, things can get seriously strange when your not prepare for any unfortunate events."

"And you are?" Raine press the question towards her other counterpart.

"Well, I met you, right?" Ms Reddins reply back, complete with an innocent smile, waiting for her counterpart acknowledgement.

The genetically enhanced female Trainer open her mouth, then promptly shut it tight. "Point taken."

Edward and Sasha just awe at the two almost identical girls. Even Leonidas took his time to admit how two of them could have been sisters at one point. The prospect is both intriguing and scary.


Next was his 3 legendary Pokémon, with Darkrai being the first to appear. As soon as the Nightmare Pokémon appear, all trainers felt tense as the air felt cold and their breathing felt tight. Darkrai eyed at the trainers, specifically the three trainers that was about to feel it's wrath. Leonidas continue, "This is Sideways. He was my brother's Pokémon before he fell. Sideways is evil, but only when he had too. He's actually nice once you get to know him probably."

"Ah, just like Raine's Spiritomb." Edward point it out. Sasha is quick to disagree with a defile expression. Edward continues, "Her Spiritomb is evil, but not by choice; having 108 different souls inhabit a single Pokémon can be very crowded, plus that only make the Forbidden Pokémon all the more frustrating."

"Not to mention her Spiritomb has a degree for screwing you around," Blade add his two cents over Edward intellectual discussion.

"I'm not surprised that she has a Spiritomb," Leonidas grin, "Believe me, seeing that Pokémon as part of her party was a rude wakeup call."

Both Raine blush, rub the back of their head, giggling, in unison.

With Darkrai hovering around like the spectre Pokémon that it is, Leonidas brought out Raikou; as soon as the legendary cat emerge from its Pokéball (a Level ball to be precise) it let out a thunderous roar to mark it's presents known, followed by the darkening in the room. This is Raikou after all; every where it goes a thunderous storm is known to appear out of nowhere. Raikou glare at the three trainer before him, prompting it to its combat stance, but Leonidas held his hands in front of the legendary cat, giving a clear signal that they are in fact friendly.

"You have to forgive Raiden here, he doesn't trust humans just yet. After what happen to him and his brothers, I would be pissed off as well. Perhaps it's because of our losses that make us bond more easily than normal." Leonidas gestures. Raiden growl menacingly, keeping it's eye at all three trainer. His eyes is burning with hatred and anger. The three trainer currently had nothing to say, generally because they don't want it to be on a foul mood towards them.

Leonidas brought forth his last, familiar legendary Pokémon, Latias, the Eon Legendary. She emerge from her Pokéballs filled with childish giggles and sunny expression, and is quick to join at Leonidas side. Serene the Lapras didn't mind having the legendary Pokémon at her Masters side, so long as she get some share of love. The genetically enhanced female Trainer frown slightly however; this version of Latias didn't encounter Ash thus did not become her love interest. It is as if it was a blessing in disguise for her counterpart. Raine sigh in defeat; guess she will never be with her idol, she moan silently. Blade took note of this.

Sideways and Raiden didn't seemed to be affected by Latias childish giggles aside from their eye rolling routine and a little shake from both legendary Pokémon. Empress and Iris notice this; those two Pokémon aren't thrill to have her on-board, despite being legendary herself. They do however notice some maturity in her. Leonidas trained her well.

"This is Korra," Leonidas explain, "Aside of being very childish and prefers to play a lot, Latias here very aggressive only when she needs to be. When she has to be. With Alto Mare gone, she has nowhere to go but to follow me."

"I'm sorry, but how did Alto Mare... gone?" Sasha said, remembering that Alto Mare is an island size town with its own community and, according to legend, it's own guardians.

Leonidas look upon Korra, who is still cuddling with him but has slowed her affection upon hearing the phase of her former home. Instead of further cuddling, the female legendary dragon Pokémon silently embrace Leonidas further. Her body language alone speaks more than words could convey, and Edward already knew how this story goes. Calming Korra down, Leonidas began his story.

"When I was still Ranger, I was given the order to station at Alto Mare after receiving my latest order from my superior. I was with Kellyn, back then. He had befriend Sideways, making him a living legend among Pokémon Ranger Corp and since my brother outrank me, I was put under his command. I have no regret being under his wing, but living under his shadow is daunting. After a few weeks of patrolling Alto Mare, Kellyn was called ahead on a mission... His last mission... He instruct me to look after Alto Mare with a few Ranger recruits and veterans while he finish his business."

"That was when Oakley and Annie appear. According to Korra, those two are behaving very strange when they arrive Alto Mare, so she inform her brother to investigate. Back then she was no fighter, but her brother is. The last thing she heard from him was his death scream... echoed throughout Alto Mare. Things got horrifically wrong soon after..."

"We lost Alto Mare in that single event. The people evacuate as per procedure. The island began to quake, piece by piece into the sea. Korra disguise herself as a human being help herself into our life boat. That is where she met me when I notice her being alone, staring towards the sea where Alto Mare used to be. I comfort her as best as I could, but no amount of warmth, food or social interaction came through. In our line of work, we call this shell-shocked, and the symptoms is there. It took her several weeks to recover. When she did recover, she reveal to me that she is a legendary Pokémon Latias herself, and that she is grateful to be cared."

"Her tone was all wrong. That was the one thing I notice upon her recovery. She maybe grateful, high pitch and all, but I sense anger and hatred. As a Ranger, I was to calm a Pokémon down so that they won't do things that would hurt everyone around them, humans or Pokémon alike. She was in a foul mood, and almost cause a scene when the news about Oakley and Annie is still around. Since she is now my responsibility, I took the liberty to promise her that justice will be serve and bring order to the injustice, but only when she remain by my side for as long as it is needed. She agrees, though also lashing out a horrid threat that Latias shouldn't have said. Since then she has been with me for many months, after delivering said justice on a hot plate."

Sasha sob hearing Korra the Latias back story. Edward silently took everything in, rubbing the bridge between his nose and Raine is horrified that the peaceful town of Alto Mare is gone in their world. Multiple things began to question her; was Bianca and her grandfather alive? Where's the Soul Dew? Where was Ash during that time? Blade just stood there nodding his head, arms cross. He had nothing to share, and wish he didn't have to.

"It seemed to me," Edward said gently, "That you have brought justice against Oakley and Annie in your world?"

Leonidas remain silent for a moment. "Yes."

There was a pause before delivery, Edward is quick to note. "Is this before or after you caught wind of your brother's... death?"

Leonidas eye flashes towards Edward. He smirk, "After."

"Ah," the bespectacled trainer reply, "That explains a lot, really."

"What? Explain what?" Sasha ask.

"You let her serve justice, correct?" the genetically enhanced female Trainer press forward, and she did not like where this is going.

Leonidas simply nod. Raine stiff upon knowing where this is going, Edward knew it too well, shaking his head. Sasha is just plain horrified.

"After we locate Oakley and Annie, plus beating the crap out of them, I allowed Korra to judge them as she sees fit. Vengeance was all she had in mind; she kill Annie in a single swipe, beheading her. Oakley tried to escape out of fear. Korra give chase, inflicting Oakley with a series of cuts and bruises before... well, she is reduce to ashes."

"I still think that putting them in maximum security prison was also fine," Raine Reddins casually reply, taking the entire conversation normally, much to the horror of Edward, Sasha and her Raine counterpart. "But no, you just had to have vengeance running your life. That can't be healthy."

"People change when things go horrible wrong. And I had nothing to say about my action those past years of my life. Those lowlife deserve what's coming; if they are okay at ending a life of a hundred people, why in Arceus name can't we be do the same?" Leonidas retort at Ms Reddins respond.

"Look Leon, your other you in various worlds already disapprove of your action, even one from here that can transform into Latios," Raine Reddins reply, hands on her hips, "He was deeply shaken by your idea of justice, even if he is fascinated by guns, pistols and sniper rifle. Thank Arceus that most of them are still Ranger, and had a dignity to spare their enemy and not kick the poor Growlithe when its done."

Leonidas grumble at the young female trainer.

Raine and her two friends is surprise by the small info coming from the otherworldly female trainer counterpart; they both met Leon?

While the two otherworldly companion was having conversation, the female legendary Pokémon float above the room towards the other Raine. The genetically enhanced female Trainer slightly smile at her approach, raising her hand to pet her. The Eon Legendary float away from her, content to just stare at her deeply into her eyes. The ageless girl blink when Korra did that, "It's okay girl," she said assuredly, "I won't hurt you. We're friends, right?"

Something must have triggered within the young Latias as she snarl and growl at the ageless girl. Raine took a few steps back, wondered what had set her off like that. Before she could understand what's going on, Korra turn her attention to the other Raine. She spoke, "Miss Raine, she's not real."

Raine gives a sharp inhale, eyes widen. The other girl, Raine Reddins stare at her counterpart. Her eyes is now devoid of sheer happiness and is replace with loath, "Really?" she question.

"Yes, she's-"

"Korra, a moment," The golden Scizor,Blade quickly interrupted. "If you can spare me five minutes of your time, I'll explain everything."

"No Blade," Raine interrupted, "I guess she deserve the truth, but please, can my friends not be part of this conversation? It was bad enough that I've been carrying this burden by myself and not feel guilty afterwards. To me... my friends is all I had left."

Raine Reddins soften up, especially those last few lines. "What do you mean... 'all I had left'?"

The young man with spectacles walk towards the youngest member of their group, and in an adoring way, petting her. His smile is never diminish, "She's an orphan from what she told us. Sasha and I are just as equally curious about her back story as you are, but I suppose some secrets aren't meant to be shared."

"Yes, I agree with that assumption," Sasha sound, "Not all of us are willing to spill our sorting history to someone we just met, especially ones who thinks-"

"- that we're the nosing on people's affair," finish Raine Reddins, much of Sasha surprise. Ms Reddins gives a confirm nod as she understood the needs to keep a personal secret among friends, especially ones they have no rights to know. "I understand Sasha. And no, you don't have to tell me about your tragic story. Believe me, I had one too, and no one knows about it other than Dad."

"Dad?" Raine repeat that last words. It felt like someone just stab her with a small dagger into her heart, knowingly that her counterpart has a family of her own. She clutch her aching heart as her counterpart begins to tell them her part of the story.


Raine Reddins story makes the current Raine wanted to cry from the inside. For one thing, she have a loving father, something that Raine will never have. She also have a home to call on, and she befriend Cynthia, one of the reigning region champion of Sinnoh. Her history as a Pokémon trainer is also different by a country mile, since she met various trainer which sounds very interesting (and by interesting, Raine meant their name, from a girl called Yellow, Giovanni kid name Silver, the Pokémon thief named Green, the Frontier Master Emerald, the super wild tomboy Sapphire, the rich and super serious Diamond, etc) and particularly strong. Of course, the most interesting thing of all is their habit of attracting criminal activity. While in their world, the UAAF is mostly in charge, Raine Reddins is otherwise different; she had to battle a group of criminals calling themselves Team Cyber, and their affectionate to reviving the Steel\Bug legendary Pokémon Genesect. Ms Reddins succeed in disbanding the underground criminal with a number of friends and their Pokémon before she resume her grand adventure as a Pokémon trainer.

"... After a heartfelt goodbye to my two best friend from my world," referring to the counterpart version of Edward and Sasha, "Me and Blade starts our long journey to Kanto Region."

There was a short pause after she finish her sentence. She raise her head, looking eye to eye at her counterpart, "Tell me, Raine." she asked, "Have you fought Red?"

"Fought him? He floored me and my team like no one's business!" her counterpart retort; she still remember her utter defeat against Red. "Grr, and I almost had him again the second time! I manage to beat his Pokémon to near exhaustion, but he still mop me like some stubborn germ!"

"Frankly speaking, I'm surprised you last longer than your first round." Blade muse, "Don't get me wrong, he's Pokémon is powerful, that I understand. But throughout the battle he seemed to be holding back, hands cross, looking unamused. It's a wonder if someone did beat him."

Raine Reddins laugh at that last bit, a forceful chuckle soon after. The three trainer look at her in an amusing expression. Leonidas, who has been quiet throughout the entire conversation, let out this small piece, "You don't win against Red; you SURVIVE against Red."

"Huh?" all three cried in unison.

"Its a saying that should not be treated lightly among the Kanto and Johto league participants, trainers and even it's fellow members of the Elite Four." Leonidas said, finger raise, "Red is among the most powerful trainer in our world, and most likely throughout multiple world similar to this world as well. He raise his Pokémon well, train them like no one else did. He is the best out of all champion on all region combine. And that's just him among his other merry friends that Raine came across. Each of his friends are either champion region or among the Elite Four. His greatest rival, Blue, is Kanto AND Johto league Champion five years in a row. Even Blue can mop Raine on the floor if he wanted."

"So I take it that you fair no better that your other self?" Edward ask.

"No... I took my defeat hard." Raine Reddins sadly replies, "After my defeat, I return home to wallow my sadness. I was in my room for five days."

Raine flabbergasted at her counterpart; Red did that? Wow... good thing she is a cloned version of May with military training. But if she isn't...

"... That is, until I met Jimmy Ethans." Raine finished.

"Jimmy?" Raine repeat. Is she referring to the same hot-headed Typhlosion hybrid?

Leonidas frown, "Jimmy Ethans, resident of New Bark Town. Pokémon Breeder. Nickname Gold among his friends and acquaintances." he fold his arms, "Stories of him and his antics are infamous among Pokémon Ranger Corp. Trouble maker no less."

"What kind of nickname is that?" the genetically enhanced female Trainer asked upon hearing her alternate version of Jimmy and his an unimpressive name. And all this time she thought calling Jimmy 'Krakatoa' was silly, even after he is now separated from his Pokémon. She continues, "With that kind of name, I bet he had a lot of 'golden' opportunity left and right."

"You could say that," Raine Reddins chuckle at such notion, "But you have to give him some credit. After all, he's the first person to beat Red."

There. That entire line caught all three trainer, especially Raine and Blade to be bolted by this news; someone in their world, an alternate version of Jimmy, manage to beat Red the Pokémon Master?!

"How?!" bellow the ageless trainer, "What technique did his Pokémon use? What Pokémon did he use? Did he manage something that I can't do better?! How-"

"I can tell you how surprised I am as well, but he wasn't bluffing." Raine Reddins reply, chuckle at how her panic counterpart is reacting. Ms Reddins had to agree to Gold however; she really do look adorable in her panic state, even if it is a weird experience for herself. "We had a sparring, after I heard he beat Red ages ago. Gold is very much the same level as Red, but he's more lively, and he has that certain upbeat personally like a guy who likes to party. Even though I can't beat Gold, he compliment my effort regardless."

"News of his achievement for beating Red is not exaggerated either. So much so that he gain immunity to the Pokémon Ranger Corp from arresting the young boy for all the trouble he had cause on the Frontier Brain. This also include thieving, smuggling and outright vandalism if he wanted to. I had a pleasure to face him and my team of Pokémon after I hand my badge to my superior. Long story short, he outclass even all three legendary Pokémon combine." Leonidas said his share, grumble lowly of revenge.

Edward adjust his glasses, uneasy about this news. Sasha is getting really uncomfortable about it. While Raine... Well, she is now super hype at facing a trainer who had best the Pokémon Master himself! Sensing the genetically enhanced female Trainer hype now makes Blade really worried down to the core.

There is some line people don't usually cross, and Raine cross over them just for fun, thought the worried golden mantis Pokémon.

"I didn't get the pleasure to fight Red again though, but I didn't mind, knowing that there are always someone better than myself. I took this knowledge and ran with it, reunited with my friend and off we go to the Unova Region." she continues, ending her side of the story.

"Now that we have finish discussing who we are, and what dirt we brought with," Leonidas said which he earn an elbow at his ribs by Raine Reddins, "Are there any other boring questions?"

Edward wanted to ask about how both Leonidas and Raine Reddins arrive here in this world. Unless there is a cruise ship or an airliner that can take you to the other worldly destination, it would be logical that they have some sort of advance technology. Before he could ask however, he is quickly interrupted by the genetically enhanced female Trainer, who is raising her hand enthusiastically, complete with brimming smile and puppy eyes, "Yes?" Leonidas said half-heartedly.

"I know this maybe asking too much, but can I have a Pokémon battle?" Raine straight out asked, earning a facepalm for all of her friends, even Blade, Empress and Iris did the same. Leonidas just deadpan glare at her.

"Why did I even bother?" Leonidas mumbled, throwing a look at his otherworldly companion, who is hype at facing her own counterpart.

"It's the only way to know our Pokémon, right?"

"Yup!"


End of part 1


Here is the list of original character and their back story along with their Pokémon in detail. For those who wanted to read about Canon!Raine however, please read up Pokemon Uprising by SOTF. Leonidas and Raine Reddins will be on the next chapter, after an awesome Pokemon battle, of course!

Name: Edward

Gender: Male

Occupation: Pokémon Battler Trainer

Birthplace: Vermilion City, Twinleaf Town.

Favorite Pastime: Reading, Writing, Socializing people, Very long walk.

Pokémon in hand: Vaporeon (Wave), Jolteon (Lightning), Flareon (Brimstone), Leafeon (Gaia), Glaceon (Frostbite), Slyveon (Aerith), Espeon (Iris)

Favorite Quotes: I hate being a bully.

Edward is raise on a quiet little town of Twinleaf years after he was born on Vermilion City. While in Twinleaf, Edward life has been as quiet as the life in town. But his fascination on Pokémon grew when his first Pokémon, an Eevee is given as a gift from Professor Oak when he was 10 years old. His fascination on this small cute mammal Pokémon is just the beginning, and by the time he is old enough to embark his own Pokémon journey, brought along his entire library of Pokémon knowledge with him as well. Friends and family often tease him for being too quiet, smiling and generally acting very polite to anyone he meet. He had once shown his serious side, but only through extreme situation.

While not the most intimidating Pokémon trainer among the merit of other trainers (his entire attire gives the impression of a smart working gentleman, complete with necktie, glasses and a small suitcase) Edward is not easily bullied. In fact, he feared that he is the one who bullied others due to the complex strategy he implied among his Pokémon. And speaking of Pokémon, Edward has 7 different variety of evolutionary version of Eevee, each version has its traits and moveset best suited for his Eevees, but all share a common move; Baton Pass.

His goal in life is to complete the National Pokédex record, a task given by Prof Rowan. Everything else is secondary in his eyes. He could go for days into the woods and inside the dangerous cavern without thinking about his necessity or his own personal safety, purely to complete the objective in hand. This can sometimes back fire if it not for the merry company he has around him, or when his Espeon hit him hard on the head as a reminder to look after himself.

Speaking of Espeon, it is generally not a good idea to harm her; even though Iris (the name of Edward's Pokémon) can take good care of herself and can go toe-to-toe with the all save for legendary Pokémon, if the psychic mammal Pokémon ever get hurt, accidental or not, can bring the worst out of Edward.

Name: Sasha

Gender: Female

Occupation: Pokémon Elite Trainer, Pokémon Beauty Participate

Birthplace: Jubilife City

Favorite Pastime: Sunbathing, Swimming, Pokénews, Winning the Pokémon Beauty National Contest, Shopping Spree.

Pokémon in hand: Empoleon (Empress), Luxray (Raja), Roserade (Sultan), Heracross (Majesty), Drifblim (Monarch) and Garchomp (Emperor)

Favorite Quotes: Let the curb stomp begin!

Sasha is an intriguing character. Born with a silver spoon decorated with diamond and topaz, the wealthiest daughter of a pristine company on Sinnoh, living in an environment where her family member groom her like a precious doll and all of her friends on Jubilife City are either greedy bastard or a slimy jerks. Sasha could not tolerate this strange lifestyle (and envy those who live in a much moderate life) thus when she has come to age, she quickly choose to be come a Pokémon trainer instead of the other option being presented to her. Her family did not appreciate her choice, her rich friends speak ill regarding her decision, and the only support she had was a some kid on Twinleaf Town who is overly obsess with the theory of Pokémon evolutionary traits.

Starting off as a Pokémon trainer for her was difficult, since she has been sheltered all her life in her youth. But with Edward's support and his knowledge on Pokémon, the duo form a promising pair of brains and brawn, with Edward providing the necessary information for Sasha and Sasha proceed to use this information to crush her opponent with extreme prejudice.

Sasha rose through the ranks faster than most normal Pokémon trainer does. One could say it has something to do with her use of wealth, or using her position to influence those Gym Leader to surrender their badge for a insurmountable price, though this was not the case. With Edward at her side, she dominate each Gym Leader fair and square, and use appropriate amount of her time to train up her Pokémon. That, and Edward been giving her a valuable moral support.

Her Pokémon of choice is base on powerful creatures on the Sinnoh Region, and very rarely would she change her team up. Interestingly enough, all of her Pokémon is named after royal title. Even her uniform is tied to royalty (her overall purple from head to toe complete with thin layer of gold outline). Regardless, Sasha rose the rank among many other well established Pokémon trainers, easily earning her the title Elite Trainer. If nothing else, she also participate the Pokémon Beauty Contest on a annual basis.

For the wealthiest daughter who once live on Jubilife City, spoiled since youth and sheltered all of her life, Sasha has proven herself to a capable Pokémon trainer to best all but the most legendary of all.
