Chapter 2: The Champion's Concern
Soon after Cynthia's match against Tobias was over she decided it was time to go back home, after being hounded by the media for exclusives and interviews which she expertly avoided. She finally let out a sigh of relief once she entered her limo, where she was greeted by her family butler.
"That was a splendid match Miss Cynthia." said the man who appeared to be in his late fifties.
"Thank you Jervis but I am not in the most perky mood right now." replied Cynthia
"Is it because of the trainer you battled today?" asked Jervis with concern.
Cynthia didn't reply and Jervis was all to familiar with this behavior it meant that Cynthia was genuinely concerned about something and was in deep thought regarding the he knew he was not getting an answer anytime soon he dropped the topic and focused his mind on the road ahead.
It was an hour later once the finally reached Cynthia's main villa in Celistic Town where Cynthia sat on the sofa in the main living room.
(Am I not good enough?)
Questions like such flooded her mind before they were interupted by Jervis who came to serve Cynthia a glass of lemonade.
"Miss if something is of worry please..."
"Oh it's nothing, just my imagination going wild" she replied by cutting his sentence.
"Miss I have served in this household long enough to know whether my master is feeling concerned or not, please allow me to help" replied Jervis sincerly.
Sighing in defeat Cynthia said "Give me an honest answer Jervis, do you think I am strong?"
"Well of course you are the Champion after all, you are the strongest trainer I know." was the obvious reply.
"Then why do I feel so weak." said Cynthia with sorrow.
"This is regarding the Tobias fellow you fought today isn't it I must say he is strong trainer because of his roster of legendary Pokemon, but he didn't have the necessary bond with them to draw out their full potential."
"He told me that his Pokemon were just tools to him, and that he only finds their purpose to help him achieve his own goals."
"How despicable to think that this is the mind set of the so called top league trainers nowdays, but I still don't understand why you are feeling so down ma'am."
"It hurts me to say this but these types of trainers existed from the start and since no one kept a check on them and their wrong ways this ideology of Pokemon as tools has spread throughout the minds of many young trainers as a way to become makes me feel that I failed the people as their Champion and could not correct their wrong ways." said Cynthia seriously.
"Please Ma'am don't belittle yourself like this , you are very kind person to think this, and who says you are weak you use your strength as a trainer to spread hope and happiness among the masses so why do you harbor such ill feelings toward yourself."
"I don't know I just wish I could do something about it." replied Cynthia while starting to go to her room.
"I am sure you will find a way ma'am, ah.. before you leave this came from the P.L.A this morning
I didn't want to give it to you in the morning because you had a match but since now you are free you might want to look at it." said Jervis while handing her a letter.
(The Pokemon League Association huh…..)
Cynthia accepted the letter from Jervis and made her way to her study in her room to read it.
Once on her study she carefully peeled the seal open to read its contents
Respected Champion Of Sinnoh,
In the recent years the number of crimes has shot up even if we stopped one criminal organization leading the mayhem, we still are unable to put an end to the root cause that are crimes against Pokemon. We believe that you Champions still have a purpose other than what you pursue, and want to give a new meaning to the rank of Champion, currently as you know only six people hold this title namely:-
Lance – Johto
Alder - Unova
Diantha- Kalos
Steven- Hoenn
Yourself- Sinnoh
Ash-Kanto
The powers of the Champions are limited we want to change that so you can utilize your strength's and capabilities to your full in order to express ourselves more clearly we request your attendance at the first ever "Meeting Of Champions" ,held in the Kalos Region in the next few days. All the necessary details will be sent to you shortly, please grace us with your presence.

The Pokemon League Association
When she finished reading Cynthia was at a loss of words at the sudden proposal but nevertheless
thought to herself while smiling
(Well it wouldn't hurt to Attend)
As she made her way to the shower to wash away her worries.
Santalune Forest
Local Time
Frost now uncloaked was standing near the smugglers base camp now ready get back to Santulune City was stopped by the ring of his Pokegear.
"Frost this is Forester here."
"Captain?"
"Good work in Santalune Forest as expected from you."
"Sorry to interrupt sir but is something wrong you don't usually talk over phones."
"I haven't even gotten to the point and it seems I am already figured out."
"Sir has something happened?, if not I need to get to Lumious Airport to get to Hoenn for another assignment by tonight."
"No Ranger nothing is wrong, not yet that is although you should probably cancel that plane ticket
you won't be needing it, I need you to stay in Kalos for a few more days until you receive your new assignment."
"New assignment?" Asked a confused Frost.
"Yes get to the Rangers Santalune Hotel I have a room booked for you, rest Frost you'll need it, I will explain everything in detail later Forester out."
"But Sir..." Frost's attempts to make conversation failed as the call got disconnected.
"What was all that about?" asked Frost to particularly no one as he started making his way towards Santalune City."
(I guess I'll find out tomorrow.)
Authors Note:
Well I am back early just in case because I thought that I should atleast progress a bit before I leave the story for a while due to my finals anyways I will most likely update only the summary in the upcoming days because to be honest I never really thought of one and its been seven months since I wrote this on paper. Since then I have already written till the fifteenth chapter on paper so once I get free time after my tests {which will be by 10 april} you guys can expect updates. Also there was less of my OC in this chapter as it was more Cynthia Based But don't worry the next chapter I'll properly intoduce my character.
Alright then I will take my leave to study now and will see you guys soon, don't forget to follow the story and leave your reviews I appreciate your comments.
PEACE OUT
