Chapter 2: An Elite Welcome

"Nikolas, get up already." There was someone in the room.

"Nikolas, hurry up!" I was still weary. I didn't know who it was.

"Alright I'm up," I'm groaned. I was still very tired. I finally opened my eyes and realized it was Victoria trying to wake me up.

"What's the big rush," I asked. That's when it hit me. We were expecting visitors today.

"Well in case you forgot we have some important visitors here today. So you need to get dressed and come downstairs," she said. Knowing that this was important, I got out of bed and got myself dressed. Once I finished I left the room and headed downstairs.

In the kitchen, Cynthia, Colin, and Lance were sitting in their seats in the dining room. But there were also four others who I did not recognize sitting with them. They were all talking when Victoria interrupted.

"Sorry to keep you all waiting for such a long time," she said. I didn't know I overslept since it was so bright and sunny outside.

"Allow me to introduce myself," Victoria said," and this is my younger brother Nikolas."

"Hello it's very nice to meet all of you," I said.

All four of them got out of their seats and approached us. They introduced themselves.

"Hello, my name is Ryder." Ryder has dark purple hair and purple eyes. He wore a hoodie and jeans.

"My name is Veronica." Veronica has orange hair and has golden sunglasses resting on her head. She wore a light, purple jacket.

"I'm Colton, pleasure to meet you." Colton has dark blue hair and hazel eyes. He wore a white and gray blazer over a blue shirt.

"Nice to meet you, I'm Miranda." Miranda has white hair and green eyes. She wore a blue and yellow shirt and a skirt over her leggings.

"Nikolas they are the members of the Elite Four," Victoria said. Instantly I was shocked.

"So wait you guys are -," I said before I was interrupted.

"That's right. We're the new Elite Four," Colton replied.

I was really amazed. I had thought they were just regular visitors, but turns out they're strong trainers. Suddenly Colin comes up to me.

"Can you believe it? They're the Elite Four! So whoever wins the Champion League gets to battle them. Man I'm so psyched," Colin said.

This made me realize something. I'm going to have to train real hard to even stand a chance against them. I'm even more excited about the Champion League now that I know they're the Elite Four.

"Hey, is there any chance I could battle one of you," I asked.

"Oh me too," exclaimed Colin. I guess we both wanted to rest our strength.

"Now hold on," Miranda interrupted, "the idea of the Champion League is whoever wins gets to battle us. I'm sorry, but we think its best not to battle you guys." We were instantly gloomy. We really wanted to see how strong they were. Then Cynthia said something.

"Okay then how about a tag battle against the four of you. That way we can see all of you in battle," said Cynthia. They all glanced at each other and at the end they chose their decision.

"Alright then, it's settled. Let's have a Pokémon battle," exclaimed Miranda.

We headed to the battle field which was located in the building. Miranda and Veronica teamed up against Ryder and Colton. Cynthia, Victoria, Colin, and I watched as Lance was the referee.

"Alright the tag battle between the team of Miranda and Veronica against the team of Ryder and Colton will now begin. Each trainer may only use one Pokémon. There is no time limit. The battle is over until one side's Pokémon has been defeated. Alright then, begin!"
