Chapter I: Introducing the Elites
Tap, tap, tap, tap. That was the only noise made in the great hall several figures were currently seated in. Tap, tap, tap. Again the fingers found themselves tapping against the surface of the stone table they were all gathered around. The fingers belonged to a slender hand, that hand trailed up to an arm, and that arm belonged to a body. That body was unique to that person alone. The person who had been tapping the stone table was one Nelda Griffin. Nelda was currently sat at the head of the stone table, dignifying her status. Champion of the Karui region. She'd been champion for seven years and counting. No matter who was able to beat her Elite Four and get to her, they all met the same end. Defeat. They all loss to her. Simple as that.
Nelda was a blonde haired woman, her hair was tied back into a simple ponytail most of the time, a naturally thin woman, currently in her late twenties, though she never liked talking about her age, and icy blue eyes and even colder personality. Hell, she even used a variety of Ice type Pokemon. So her being dubbed the "Ice Queen" by people of the region and by some members of the Gym Leader and Elite Four Council seemed appropriate. She was growing more and more impatient, something strange especially for someone with a supposed cold and calculating mind. However the calling of her name and a question directed to her brought her out of her stupor. She looked to her left, from her seat at the head of the stone table. A man in his mid teens seemed to be addressing her.
"Huh?" She asked the teen seated on the left side of the table.
"I said, 'you feeling okay sister?'" The teen asked. Yes, you heard that right, the teen calling Nelda 'sister'. The teen was her younger brother, the third member of the Elite Four. One George Griffin. George inherited many things from his family that made him undoubtedly Nelda's younger brother. Blonde hair to match hers, not as long as his sister's just reaching the back of his neck and naturally able to stay out of his face thanks to a little bit of combing. The thin body and icy blue eyes matching hers. The only thing that set the two apart was their personalities. Where Nelda was non-sociable and reclusive. Her brother was the exact opposite to her. Outgoing, sociable, and much friendlier to people. He was given the nickname of the "Dragon Prince." The dragon part came from his use of Dragon types mainly. The prince part came to be because many believed he'd be the one to best his sister one day and become the next champion. Hence the second half of his nickname.
"Yes, I'm feeling fine George. Just a bit tired. Both from a lack of sleep and waiting for our other guests to arrive, so we can discuss the business concerning our region." She pointed out while trying to rub the remaining sleep from her eyes. She could hear a laugh coming from her right. The laughter coming from a dark brown haired woman, which reached the base of her neck.
"And what is so funny to you Keri?" Nelda asked with irritation present in her voice.
"It's just funny seeing the normally calm and cool collected 'Ice Queen' affected by a lack of sleep. I've seen you go many days with way less sleep than this and come out not affected by it at all." Keri said back to her. Still laughing and leaning back in her seat. Keri was a welcome sight among the more serious members of the Elite Four. Although, George was much friendlier and sociable than his sister. He was just as serious if not more, since the pressure of being the 'next successor' being put on him. Keri Weekes was just an all around cheery and nice person to be around for many. Mid twenties, carefree, and average everything about her body. More importantly the second member of the Elite Four. She was given the nickname the "Princess of the Sky," and you can believe she took it to heart. Going as far as making a strange head ornament made of all of her Flying type Pokemon's feathers that had molted off at one point. It actually fit the way she looked.
"I'm sure laughing at our champion won't calm her down Keri. So I think it'd be best to keep it to a low giggle please?" asked a short and timid girl who was sat next to Keri.
"Oh come on now Faylinn. I'm not bugging her that bad. Am I Nelda?" Keri questioned with amusement. Nelda grumbled something, only causing Keri to laugh more.
"Oh, I can feel today is going to be a long day." Faylinn said. Faylinn Disney was the fourth member of the Elite Four. She was on the shorter side. Long honey brown hair going to the middle of her back. Strange purple eyes, a pixie nose, sometimes a worry wart, but a bright spirited person nonetheless. What was strange about it was she could sense people's emotions very easily, no one truly knew how she did it or how adapt at it she was. She could usually guess a person's emotions even if they were complete strangers. She was appropriately given the nickname of "The Sprite." She looked like a fairy. Using mainly Fairy types didn't help her case either. It didn't bother her being called 'Sprite', but her size and youthful body had her on more than one occasion reminding a trainer or two that she was twenty. Hard to believe? Join the rest of the trainers who don't believe as well. She inherited her position from her mother after her retirement from the Elite Four. Though many doubted her abilities to match her mother's skill. She quickly silenced her critics and proved many wrong. Faylinn couldn't help but glance at their most silent member of the Elite Four. A tall dark skinned man in his mid thirties, currently keeping his eyes shut in acts to fake sleep and to block out Keri's laughter.
"Hey Carr. How do you feel about our poor Ice Queen's lack of sleep and lack of humor." Keri asked Carr. Her amusement was ever present. Carr simply opened one of his eyes, grunted, and closed his eye again. "Oh come on Carr. You can at least humor me." The Princess whined. Instead of opening his eye, he simply turned his head away from her. "Oh you're no fun Carr. Always such a rotten egg you are, not ever wanting to have fun." Keri complained.
"You really should learn when to keep your voice down. It seems our Champion is getting a little tired of hearing you talk to yourself. As am I." Carr said to Keri from across the table. A single eye glaring at here. Keri immediately stopped her laughing. Carr Rush, the first member of the Elite Four. Carr was a built man, his black hair cut close to his scalp, a scar running down one of his cheeks, and an ever present scowl on his face. However what made him most famous was his always torn and in disrepair Gi he always seemed to wear. A user of Fighting types, and the undoubted greatest Fighting type trainer to grace the region. His torn Gi and already darkened skin, came from his constant training with his fighting types in the most extreme conditions to push his team to their very best. Generously dubbed the "Final Fighting Elite," however the other nicknames given to him were less than kind about him, mainly those nicknames given by a 'disrespectful' Gym Leader. Before he was able to continue his talk with Keri, an advisor walked into the room.
"Champion Nelda, the Leaders of the region have begun to arrive. The meeting will begin as soon as all members have arrived." The advisor said respectfully to Nelda.
"Thank you for the notice Dunmire." Nelda said, with a sideways glance at the advisor, head placed on one of her hands. "Well as per code, I guess our Pokemon should come on out as well." Nelda said to her colleagues at the stone table. Grabbing a pokeball from her belt, she opened it up next to her. In a flash of red, a large white furred creature appeared next to her, the creatures strangest feature was his strange ice like beard under its jaw. "Good morning Beartic. Hopefully you enjoyed your sleep more than I did, because you're going to need it for this meeting." Nelda said to her strongest and oldest Pokemon. The other members of the Elite Four released their strongest Pokemon as well. Carr releasing his Lucario. There were scars that adorned his Lucario as well. They said nothing to each other, only a simple glance to one another and a nod was needed. The Lucario as well found himself imitating his trainer's posture. Arms crossed over his chest, head tucked to his chest, and eyes closed. However both their eyes opened when they heard Keri greeting her Pokémon.
"Good morning Braviary!" Keri squealed hugging it tight a big goofy grin plastered on her face. It seemed to return Keri's hug with its wings. The action made Keri giggle quite a bit. Braviary had been one of her oldest Pokemon. Having him since a very young age. So their friendship was probably the best among the Elite Four. Hell, Keri more than likely had the best relation with all of her Pokemon. Braviary broke the hug, and found his perch on the headrest of the chair Keri was sitting in. Meanwhile next to her, Faylinn had a small smile on her face, as she pet her Sylveon. Her strongest Pokemon. The fairy type had found a nice spot on Faylinn's lap and made itself comfortable. Faylinn couldn't help but run her hand through Sylveon's soft fur.
"Hey easy now! I know you just woke up, but easy now! Hey don't stretch those wings so far!" Shouting could be heard across the table as George's Druddigon began stretching its wings and large body to rid the sleep from his tired body. Druddigon was a large beast. He had a strange relationship with George always doing anything to annoy him and get under his skin and test his patience. Many found it amusing to laugh at George's problems when he dealt with his Druddigon. Though George never saw the humor in watching his panic and distress when dealing with Druddigon. George was finally able to get Druddigon positioned in a good spot as to give him enough room to occupy. Thankfully, as the first hall's door began to open and the first batch of the arrivals entered the grand hall...
AN: Yeah so I decided to do something with a randomizer I did a while ago, and I wanted to write a story about it. I actually don't know if there will be this long over arcing story. I just kind of want to write about this randomized world and scenario I came up with. There'll probably be villains and conflict down the line, just nothing that big for the first few chapters or so.
Also feel free to make fun of my writing skills or you know give me some pointers or something.
You can also give critique on the characters or make predictions about them. Or even make suggestions.
Also thanks for reading this first chapter anyway. It was really nice of you to.
2nd AN: Hopefully I've been able to make this chapter seem a bit better, I think this chapter has the least amount of mistakes, because of how short it is in comparison to the rest of the other chapters.
