Chapter One
It was a normal, cool summer day. A train had just pulled to the train station. Many kids boarded the train. One girl's parents were having a hard time getting her on the train.
"Burgundy! This will be good for you!"
"Oh really? A school for bad kids would be good for me?" The purple haired girl glared at her mother as she tried to get past them. She couldn't believe that her parents were sending her away to a random island far away from Unova.
"It's not for bad kids, sweetly," Burgundy frowned.
"Don't call me that ever again," People were staring at the three as the father had enough.
"Burgundy Ann Cabernet get on the stupid train!" He pushed her forward and a worker grabbed her by the shoulders.
"Let me go!" She growled as she tried to get free.
"Ma'ma, I cannot," The worker said, "You need to get on the train," Burgundy's mother ran up.
"Please Burgundy. You can always visit!" Burgundy glared.
"You know why I can't leave! Don't send me away!" Her mother smiled sadly at her and nodded to the worker. The worker picked her up over his shoulder. She pounded her fist on his back.
"You'll thank us later!" Her father yelled at her as the worker tossed her into the train door. She frowned as he blocked the doorway. Burgundy could not find a way off this train.
"I will not!" She growled back as she headed deeper into the train. She took an empty seat next to the window and saw her mother waving at her. She glared at her parent and then looked away as the last few teens got onto the bus.
"I'm sorry Miss, but you can't sit here," She looked up and glared at the worker who spoke to her.
"Why?" He frowned.
"Everyone has assigned seats. Coordinators from this region sit here. Normal trainers are in the very front. What are you?"
"Connoisseur," She responded, "C class,"
"Then you must head for the back. Let me guild you," She crossed her arms and stood up, "I'm Emmet," He introduced, "One of the two who are in charge of this lovely train," Burgundy rolled her eyes.
"Well nice to meet you and all that," She answered, "Now are you going to guild me to my seat, monsieur?" He started to walk down the aisle.
"This way please." She followed him as they passed through several areas. She glanced to see who else was sent. The first passenger railcar they entered contained the A class Connoisseurs. Burgundy glanced around once and after thinking she saw a bit of green hair, she looked again. She sighed as they went into the next cart, all hope in finding her rival lost.


She took a seat next to another female C Class Connoisseur who was on her knees talking to the two girls behind her.
"I know! This is so exciting! Apparently, Ricard Nouveau's on this train right now! He's, like, the best A class Connoisseur!"
"I think you are mistaken, manquer," Burgundy spoke up, "The Dento brothers are the best connoisseurs, other than me of course," The girl turned to look at her and frowned.
"The Dento brothers? Ha! They're losers. I heard Cilan quit being a Connoisseur to take care of his mother! The other two brothers are so depressed about their mother's health that they can't seem to do well anymore!" She smirked, "And, sorry sweetly, you're a C ranked Connoisseur! You most likely will never hit B!"
"Cilan's my idol," Burgundy growled, "Don't speak that way against him you vache!" The girl glared at her.
"I am not a cow!" Burgundy smirked.
"Are too!"
"I demand a new seating partner!" The girl called. One of the workers walked over and got Burgundy up, "By the way, sweetly," The girl smirked, "I'm Luna Frizz. You do not want me as your enemy," The worker pushed Burgundy to the back and made a boy switch seats with her. Burgundy glared up at Luna as she sat down.
"Met Luna?" Her new seat partner asked.
"Yeah," The purple haired girl answered. The boy held his hand out.
"I'm Deon," He introduced. She looked at his hand and shook it.
"Burgundy," He smiled.
"Nice name," She slightly smiled back. They spent the rest of the train ride talking to each other.


Weeks passed before they got on the final boat to the school. Burgundy sat next to Deon. She hadn't got much sleep in the pass weeks, afraid that Luna might do something. She rubbed her eyes as she sat in her seat. He looked at her.
"You look tired. Get any sleep last night?" She shook her head no. He patted his shoulder with his hand, "You can sleep on my shoulder. I promise nothing will happen when you do sleep," She gave him a looked and he smiled at her. After deciding that she could trust him, she laid her head on his shoulder. Minutes later, she fell asleep.


"Burgundy, wake up," The purple haired girl opened her eyes as she yawned. The girl frowned. She sat up and looked at Deon, "We're here," He pointed out of the window. She looked out and yawned again.

"Seems like it," He slightly smiled.


So If you can't tell, this is an AU. I've been working on it for a good amount of time and just decided to post it. So, hoping you enjoyed the first chapter!
