A/N: Nyaah, I would've had this up earlier today, but my teachers decided it would be fun to give me a bunch of hmwk…I just got done writing my English paper a few minutes ago, so I'm pooped, but I wanted to get something done for this today, unlike with the first story where the second chapter took me like 3 months to get up xD Ahaha, yeah, that was bad….So….yeah…kinda bad that I'm not sure what I'm gonna write, right? Yeah, it is…I'm tired so…enjoy and review!

"Min!" Sora giggled as Minccino seemed to enjoy the sea breeze, the little chinchilla Pokemon sitting on the railing of the ferry they were on that currently headed towards Olivine City in the Johto region, the city already visible to Sora as they got closer and closer.

From Olivine City, she would take a bus to a small little town where the Pokemon lab in Johto was at; New Bark Town. There, she would talk to Professor Elm, and collect information she would need for her adventure in Johto. With her, she had brought most of her team; Samurott, Charizard, Minccino, and Reshiram. She had decided to keep Reshiram's poke ball hidden in her bag after hearing a news broadcast about thieves being rather plentiful in the Johto region.

For now, she was at peace, resting her chin in her hand as she leaned against the railing, staring out at the water, comparing the sea to the many things in life that were like the sea.

'We have now reached and docked in Olivine City. Thank you for joining us today! We hope to see you with us again soon!'

She hadn't even realized they had stopped moving until the announcement came on, causing her to shake her head lightly and rub her temples, "I really need to stop daydreaming…"

"Min!"

Sora looked at her chinchilla like Pokémon, and smiled, jerking her head towards the exit on the ship, "Let's go, Minccino. We need to get to the bus-stop so we don't miss our ride."

Minccino gave a nod and clambered up onto her trainer's shoulder, perching there like she always did, while Sora exited the ferry with the other people getting off, backpack slung over one shoulder. She couldn't help but gaze in awe at Olivine City, taking it all in slowly….

SLAAAM!

That is…until she was rudely knocked out of the way by someone.

"G-Gah!" Sora yelped as she hit the ground rather hard, groaning. Minccino began to chatter worriedly, patting at her trainer's bandana clad head gently.

Sora got up and rubbed at her face, not bothering to look for who had tripped her, figuring that they were already gone by now. Besides, she had a bus to catch.

Just as she said that, a bus passed by.

"Min!"

Sora checked her ticket and looked back at the bus, yelling when she realized that it was the bus she was supposed to take to get to New Bark Town.

"ACK! WAIT!" Sora shouted after the bus, running after it as fast as her legs could carry her.

"Mommy! Mommy! Look at that lady running alongside the bus!"

"What the heck is she doing?"

Sleepy, pale green eyes opened slowly as the commotion on the bus seemed to grow as people got up from their seats to see the girl running alongside the bus.

"Maybe she didn't get the chance to say goodbye to her boyfriend!"

"You're such a hopeless romantic!"

The owner of the pale green eyes narrowed them slightly as he thought, blinking in realization when he saw the girl waving a bus ticket around as she ran alongside it.

"Driver! Stop the bus!"

Sora thanked the high heavens when the bus came to an abrupt halt, panting heavily as she made her way over to it, praising the cool air that hit her and cooled her off. "M-made it…"

"Min-Min!"

"You got a ticket, kid?" the driver asked, holding his hand out expectantly. Sora nodded and showed the item to him.

"Yeah, right here," she handed it to him and sighed.

"Hurry up and take a seat. Your little show put us behind schedule."

"S-Sorry…" Sora apologized, moving to sit in the very back of the bus. As soon as she sat down, she heaved a loud sigh and closed her eyes, letting her head fall back. Minccino climbed down from her shoulder and settled in her lap, Sora letting her hand gently stroke the soft fur, earning a purr from Minccino. She smiled down at the chinchilla like Pokémon for a second, before letting her eyes wander to stare outside at the moving scenery.

"That was a pretty smooth way to get on a bus back there."

Slowly, the Unova native turned her head to look at her seatmate, finding the brown haired boy had a tiny smirk on his face.

"And I suppose you would've done something better?"

His pale green eyes seemed to light up with mischief, while he crossed his arms over his chest trying to look cool, at least that's what Sora assumed. "I would've gotten a bike and rode alongside of it instead of running and wearing myself out. That way I wouldn't look so stupid."

Her eye twitched. This boy…did he just insult her without even knowing her for more than five minutes?

"Maybe you should've jumped in front of the bus. Would've stopped it faster…" her angry frown caused him stop and laugh, "I'm kidding! Actually, I'm the one who told the driver to stop the bus."Her frown disappeared, along with her anger. "You…did?" he nodded, and she looked at him in confusion, "Why?"

He shrugged, slouching in his seat, "I dunno. I just felt like it."

"What kind of answer is that?"

"At least you got one."

She sighed, letting her head fall back again. She felt Minccino shift in her lap, and looked down to find her little companion moving over to their seatmate, the boy's green eyes looking down at the new Pokémon in interest.

"Whoa…never seen something like that around here before." He leaned closer to Minccino to get a better look, "What is it?""Min!"

Sora giggled as Minccino ran up to her shoulder and perched there, studying their new friend curiously, "It's a Minccino. We're from Unova, so that's why you've never seen one around here. They're only native to Unova."

The boy nodded, gently petting Minccino's head, earning a happy purr from her. He smiled and Sora began to go through her wallet to see if she had enough money to buy some food when they reached New Bark town, her trainer card falling out. Her seatmate picked it up as it fell on the floor of the bus, his eyes scanning over it.

Sora Mayheart

Age: 16

Class: Trainer

Badges: 8

Champion of Unova

His eyes widened a bit upon reading over the last part before he handed her card back, "So what's the champion of the Unova Region doing in a place like Johto?"

Sora placed the card back in her wallet and slipped it in her pocket, shrugging her shoulders, "Exploring…why's it your business anyway?"

"Just asking…You wouldn't happen to be related to Kenta Mayheart?""…He was my father."

He nodded, "How's he doing?"

"He died of cancer a few years back…" Sora said quietly.

"…Sorry for your loss…" silence followed, and the boy smiled, holding his hand out, "We haven't properly introduced ourselves! You first!"

She sighed and smiled, taking his hand, "I'm Sora. Sora Mayheart."

"Name's Blue. Blue Oak! Now, mind telling me why you're in Johto?"

She rolled her eyes, realizing he wouldn't leave her alone about it until she answered, "I'm looking for someone…"

The look in her eyes became one that was distant, causing Blue to frown a little.

"Someone? Like who?"

And so, she told him her story. About the events that had taken place in Unova, and how Team Plasma almost destroyed the bond between people and Pokémon. She spoke of the legendary dragon Pokémon, Zekrom and Reshiram, and about N.

"So…you're looking for this N. guy?" Blue asked, Sora giving a small nod.

"That's right."

"But why start here in Johto?"

She stretched her arms above her head, "I heard an anonymous tip that he was here…plus…I'm hoping to join the Johto League."

Blue smirked, "Ah, so you're looking for a new adventure."

Sora giggled softly. "Yeah…I guess you could say that."

He yawned, "Sound like you're gonna have your work cut out for you. You probably shouldn't travel around by yourself. There are some criminals out there that would just love to get their dirty hands on your Pokémon."

Sora rolled her eyes, "If you're saying you wanna come along, then sure…I don't mind the company."

Blue smirked, "Heh…this is gonna be interesting."

Sora sighed. This guy was weird but…she had to give him some credit.

He had told the bus driver to stop for her after all…

A/N: I couldn't resist adding Blue in there xD I love him so much! Haha! OFF TO BED I GO! REVIEW! LATER TATERS!
