I left my seat for a brief second. And I just happened to bump into her.

"Volkner!"

Maylene has this big attitude, or ego, or- whatever you may call it. She thinks she's the queen of the world or something. And I ran into her. Hopefully I didn't bruise her face.

"Watch where you're going! Just cause you're new and all doesn't mean you can go around, do whatever you want and get away with it!"

What the fuck is this girl rambling about.

"Oh yeah, I was supposed to tell you that someone wants to see you in the plane's battle arena. Buhbye. And don't run into anyone on your way there."

What a bitch.

I made my way through the small aisle. At the end, near the washrooms, there was a steel gate. I opened it and found a league sized Pokemon battle arena. Unovair had really hit the spot.

"Volkner! Over here!"

It was Aaron, my mentor and my only friend in this entire group of people. Since I only just joined the Sinnoh League, he showed me the ropes and told me what is good and what is bad. I respected him the most out of all the other leaders and elites.

"I just wanna check your Pokemon and your strategy, because i'm totally rooting for you, bro. Make sure you also check the tournament roster." As he said that, he handed me a folder. I checked it, and sure enough, it was the tournament roster and ladder. I shuffled through the papers and found my first battle. It seemed that everyone was in the tournament, and they were all in it t win it, so the odds weren't in my favor. Also, I needed to make an impression, because the other people haven't even heard of me, let alone see me in action.

"Hmm, so i'm up against Erika for the first round. Since it's a one-on-one battle, i'm going to use Emolga, and then strike her down with a few aerial ace attacks."

"That sounds good, but remember that Erika probably has a few aces up her sleeve too, so don't rest just yet.

I talked a little more with Aaron, and then I saw the seatbelt sign flash on. I ran back to my cabin and read a few battle strategy books. I then felt the plane tipping down, and I heard an announcement.

"Passengers, prepare for landing. We are arriving at Nimbasa International."

The plane landed with a thump and I was pup and off the plane in to time at all. Another league representative came and took my bag, but I didn't mind this time, because the only thing on my mind right now is the tournament.
