Viola entered the Battle Chateau and looked around. It was bright and sunny. a perfect day for battling. Maybe she would win her noble title of Grand Duchess today. Viola headed, now excited, to the battlefield of the Chateau.

"Hey, Viola!" She looked up and saw Grant dangling from the ceiling. Of course, she said to herself, half snorting, half sighing (snighing?). Why did he like walls so much? Viola turned to leave. She had a battle challenge to look for.

"Hey! Wait, Viola," Grant scooted down the wall and landed next to her.

"Is there a problem, Grant? Besides you climbing walls like there's no tomorrow?"

"Haha, very funny," he replied, rolling his eyes. "You know, there's already a battle going on. I was just wondering if you wanted to watch it with me."

"Sure, as long as I don't have to climb a wall too. Who's battling?"

"Valerie and some other guy. FYI, they both have a noble title of Duke/Duchess."

Grant grabbed her hand and led her to a window seat. Sure enough, Valerie and her spritzee were battling against a young man and his magmar.

"Hey! I know that guy!" exclaimed Viola. "He challenged me a while ago."

"Did you beat him?"

"Yes."

They turned to watch the battle.

"Spritzee, use Moonblast!" shouted Valerie (of course, in the most elegant style ever.)

Maaaaaggmarrrrr! Direct hit!

"Quick Magmar, use Flamethrower!"

"Dodge it Spritzee! Now use Gyro Ball!"

BOOM!

The smoke cleared. Magmar had fainted.

"And Duchess Valerie is declared the winner! She only needs one more battle to become a Grand Duchess!"

Viola was surprised. "Huh. I never knew that Valerie came here this often."

Grant looked at her with a sly smile. "Then again, you don't know much about anything."

"Excuse me? You did not just say-"

"Viola! There you are!"

Alexa was striding towards them. "I just wanted to watch you. I hardly ever get to see my little sister battle nowadays. And it seems that you and Grant get along very nicely"

"Really, Alexa? You as well?"

Alexa laughed. Together, the trio went to get some drinks, Grant looking a little uncomfortable and Viola looking annoyed (just a little).

"Little sis, are you a Grand Duchess yet?"

"Uh, no, not yet…"

"Come on, step up your game! Grant's going to leave you behind in the dust soon!"

"Yeah, well I'm going to become one today!" said Viola, trying to regain some of her dignity.

"Yes," said Grant, taking Viola's side. "She was going to challenge someone but I stopped her because there were other people battling."

Suddenly, a white glove landed on Viola's shoulder. She turned around, surprised.

"Valerie?"

"I heard you three talking about battle challenges, so I think I'll challenge you to a battle!"

"But, aren't your Pokémon tired?"

"My sylveon is still fresh! She hasn't battled yet! So what do you say, Viola? A challenge for the title of Grand Duchess?"

Viola didn't even hesitate. "Challenge accepted."

Just wondering: Should Grant and Viola have a 'romantic relationship' (if they do, it won't be very extreme, like one date or something)? Or should they just be super good friends?
