For some reason my chapters sometimes turn into coding. I thought I fixed the problem[uploading the chapters instead of pasting], but I guess not. So sorry about chapter two looking how it did!


Chapter two


Burgundy fixed the bag she had on her shoulder as she looked around. There were people everywhere. She looked at the badge on her shirt. As soon as they got off the boat, a guard had tagged them with a badge telling everyone what they were. C class connoisseurs color was a light blue. Burgundy shivered as Deon walked over, pulling a suitcase.

"Come on; let's head to the dorm rooms. I got directions," She nodded and the two headed threw the crowd. They quickly reached the Connoisseur dorm rooms. A guard stood at the doorway, handing keys to every Connoisseur that entered the building. The two walked up to the guard.

"Name?" He asked. Deon smiled.

"Deon Renter," The guard handed him a key and Deon entered the building. Burgundy stepped forward.

"Name?" She sighed.

"Burgundy Cabernet," He handed her a key. She headed inside. The key was on a ring that also had a piece of plastic that had their room number. After saying bye to Deon, Burgundy headed toward her room. She quickly found it, unlocked the room, and then entered. The room was a middle sized room with light purple walls. There was a single bed, a closet, a dresser, and a bathroom. Burgundy placed her suitcase in the closet and her bag on the bed. Then she headed out of the room to explore.


The students of the school wore way to much black, in Burgundy's opinion. She was one of the only people around that was completely alone.

"Hey there," She gasped as a guy randomly appeared at her shoulder, "What's your name?"

"Conway! Leave the girl alone!" He glared at the girl who ran up.

"Fine," Then he walked away.

"Sorry about him," Burgundy turned to see a blue haired girl wearing full black, "Hi! I'm Dawn Hikari! Nice to meet you!" She held out her hand. Burgundy slightly smiled.

"I'm Burgundy Cabernet, manquer," Dawn looked at her, confused.

"What does that mean?" Burgundy slightly smiled.

"Miss," She answered as she looked at Dawn's light pink badge. Dawn followed her gaze and smiled at her.

"I'm a Sinnoh Coordinator. What about you?"

"C Class Unova Connoisseur," Burgundy answered a proud smile on her face. Dawn smiled.

"That's so cool! We don't have-"

"Dee-Dee!" She suddenly frowned. A boy with a coordinator badge walked toward the two.

"I got to go, but it was nice to meet you!" She ran in the opposite direction.

"Dee-Dee! Wait!" The boy ran after her. Burgundy walked forward again, wondering where Deon was at the moment. She continued to walk. She looked around to see who she might know; being that she hadn't seen who was in the other parts of the train. Eventually, Burgundy stopped. She had reached a dorm area. She wondered what type of people would live here.

"Miss? Are you lost?" She looked to see a woman behind her, a smile on her face.

"Kind of," Burgundy answered.

"Well I'm Gardenia!" She said as she held her hand out, "I'm a Sinnoh gym Leader! This is the gym Leader dorm area," Burgundy looked at the building.

"I guess that's why it's so big," Gardenia smiled.

"Well it was nice to meet you-"

"Burgundy,"

"-Burgundy. Do you need help getting back to your dorm?" The purple haired girl shook her head.

"Nope. Thanks though," She turned around and walked away.

"No problem. We should battle one day."


Later on, Burgundy found herself eating dinner at the dining hall alone. She didn't really have any friends other than Deon. Dawn didn't really count to Burgundy. People sat around her in groups. She felt so lonely.

"Burgundy!" She looked up to see Dawn standing on the other side of the table, "May I sit with you?" The purple haired girl nodded as Dawn took her seat,

"Are you enjoying the area so far?" Burgundy struggled.

"It's no Unova," She answered. Dawn smiled.

"It's nothing like Sinnoh either," She said as she started to eat, "Have any friends?" Burgundy frowned.

"One guy friend I guess. We met on a train," Dawn smiled.

"That's cool. I've got three friends! Zoey, Kenny, and Ash! Oh!" She smiled, "We could be friends if you want," Burgundy smiled.

"Sure," Dawn smiled.

"You have to meet Ash! He's so easy to get along with! I bet he would love to be your friend!" Burgundy took a bit of her salad.

"What is he?" Dawn looked at her with a confused look on her face. Burgundy slightly smirked.

"Like is he a coordinator, trainer, gym leader, or something else?" The coordinator smiled.

"Ash is a trainer from Kanto," Dawn responded as she ate, "Kenny and Zoey are Sinnoh coordinators as well and they're really good," Burgundy slightly smiled.

"How about you, do you think you're good?" Dawn smiled and nodded.

"Of course I am!" She winked, "Piplup's just so adorable and is a really good battler, so it works," Burgundy smiled.

"We should battle sometimes," Dawn nodded.

"What Pokémon do you have?" The purple haired connoisseur smirked.

"You'll have to find out later,"


The next day came by quick. It was the first day of school for everyone. Burgundy got up, got dressed, and then headed out of the Connoisseur dorm building. Almost everyone was heading to breakfast. Since arriving, Burgundy had not seen Deon. Someone bumped into her. Burgundy barely caught herself.

"Well look who it is," She turned to see Luna and a bunch of girls standing next to her, "Loser Burgundy," The purple haired connoisseur glared at her, "The S Class want be, the goody two shoes, and the girl with no sense of direction," Luna smirked, "What? No come back?"

"I don't need to waste my breath on you," She answered, "Vache," Luna glared at her.

"Sweetly, I'm going to let you off easy. I'm going to be the queen and the number one connoisseur," She swung her foot out and tripped Burgundy, "And you can't do anything," The girls walked away, laughing.

"Oh Burgundy!" Someone helped her up, "Are you alright?" She turned to see Dawn looking worried at her. She glared at the group of girls as they walked by,

"That group is horrible," She pointed to one of them, "You see her?" Burgundy nodded, "That's Ursula. She's out to ruin me. I heard from a friend of Ash's that every one of those girls hates someone here," Burgundy frowned.

"That's weird. This is the first day and they've already found someone to dislike," Dawn nodded.

"And I'm on their hate list," She told Burgundy, "So is another girl I know,"

"Well that's something we have in common," Dawn smiled.

"Yep! Now come on! I want you to meet someone,"


Burgundy was pulled through the crowd by the coordinator. She dodged people and passed groups of weird looking trainers. Suddenly, Dawn's grip on Burgundy's arm had vanished and someone pushed her into someone. She and the other person fell to the ground.

"So sorry, you okay?" She looked up and her lilac colored eyes met chartreuse. Her eyes widened as the other connoisseur looked at her with a confused look,

"Have we met before?" Burgundy didn't answer, trying to get over the fact that her rival was finally in front of her.

"I found you!" Dawn's voice said as the girl knelled next to Burgundy, "I thought you were still following, but when I went to introduce you, you weren't there," Dawn pulled her up and pulled her along before she could say anything to the green haired connoisseur.


Minutes later she found herself meeting Ash Ketchum from Pallet Town. He seemed pretty likeable. So after getting her meal, she sat with Ash and Dawn. Minutes later, they were joined by three people. Two of them were coordinators and the other was a gym leader. As the connoisseur listened to their conversations, she caught their names. The female coordinator was Zoey and the male was Kenny. The gym leader was Misty, a long time friend of Ash's. The group mostly ignored Burgundy until Dawn decided to introduce her.

"Oh guys!" She started, "This is my new friend Burgundy," The group introduced themselves and brought Burgundy into some of the conversations. She couldn't really focus on them though. Her mind was on her rival and the thought of seeing him again.
