Hey guys! Thanks for sticking with me so far, even with the mess up in the first chapter. I didn't do this last chapter because I forgot, but Disclaimer, I do not own Pokèmon! The only things in this story that I own are Violet, the tournaments, the island, and the group she works in. Keep on reading now, and comment down below what you thought!

Ash raced down the ramp, hopping onto the dock in two bounds and continuing onwards. He stopped on the shore, watching his friends as they leisurely walked on the dock.

"Hurry up!" He urged, jogging in place.

Brock shook his head. "Ash, the tournament is tomorrow. Slow down and be patient."

Ash groaned. "That's too long! I need to get ready for tomorrow by training! That means I need to battle!"

Serena smiled and raised her arms, which were covered in bags. "Why don't we at least drop off our stuff first in our rooms? Then, once our hands are free and we've got our stuff in our suites, we can come back. You can train, or relax with us. The water looks great for swimming, but trainers will surely show up here."

Ash nodded. "Let's go check in, then!" He darted to the hotel, leaving all of his friends to wonder if he would ever grow up. (Maybe. You never know with Ash...)

Time Skip

A lone girl hopped off the boat once the others were gone. She trekked the sand with a steady pace, eyes on the far end of the island. It would take her a few hours to get there if she walked. The girl found herself glancing at the new Pokèball that held her newly caught Dratini.

'No, it isn't yours.' She thought to herself. 'It's for the boss. He wanted it, and he'll get it.'

Yet she couldn't help herself. She let the Dratini out of its Pokèball. It cried out its name and stared at her with curious eyes.

"A Dratini?" A voice called from the hotel steps.

"Oh my Arceus." She whispered. She should've waited until she was farther to let Dratini out. After all, it's rare. It would surely bring her a crowd. Quickly, she put it back into the Pokèball.

"Wow. I haven't seen one of those out of Kanto. How in the name of Mew did you find one? Where did you catch it?" A boy with spiky hair said as he rushed towards her. His eyes danced with curiosity, just like Dratini.

"I caught it in Kanto." She said quickly.

The boy seemed to deflate a little, but perked back up, a smile still on his face. "Well, I'm Gary. If you ever need help, get me. I'm the smartest of my friends, no doubt." He leaned in closer. "Don't tell Clemont I said that." He chuckled.

"Yeah. Sure. I have to go. Bye." With that, the girl turned and ran off.

"Wait, where are you going?" Gary called out. The girl held up her Pokèball and continued running.

Time Skip

The girl didn't stop running until she reached a cave. The entrance was blocked. She walked around to the back. There, in the bottom, was a small hole. She could crawl under it with ease, and did so. Her boss stood by the entrance, towering over her even after she stood up.

"Ah. You were quicker than usual." He remarked.

The girl chuckled. "I ran. I knew you wanted the Dratini to be trained quickly."

The man smiled and gestured at the Trading Machine in the corner. "Ah, yes. Put it in the machine, and I'll put the Eevee back in."

Her Eevee. That was why she never kept the Pokèmon she caught for him, or Admins, or even the grunts. He would hold onto her Eevee until she put the newly caught Pokèmon in the trade machine. She understood, however. He would hold something valuable so she'd go quicker, wanting to see her Eevee once more.

The girl wordlessly set Dratini's Pokèball in the machine, and he set Eevee's Pokèball in. They pressed the buttons on their side, and both Pokèballs disappeared in the machine. The correct Pokèballs were given to the trainers. A female Eevee popped out with a happy cry.

"Now that we've handled that, I have something to ask of you."

The girl stood up straight. "Yes, sir?"

"To make sure everything goes as planned, I've signed you into the competition. To make sure nobody gets suspicious, you'll be staying at the hotel."

The girl stared at her boss. "Sir, you put me into the competition?" Her boss nodded. "Alright, then I'll go." She returned Eevee to its Pokèball and set it in her bag. She crawled under the opening.

"Remember the plan!" Her boss called out as she slipped out of the cave.

"Don't worry. It's all under control." She mumbled to herself.

Time Skip, and no, these things are going to stay because honestly, who wants to read about an anonymous girl that soon won't be anonymous walking through an island. That's not fun.

Gary chuckled from the steps. It hadn't even been two hours, and he could see the girl walking back. 'Nobody can resist me, huh?' He thought smugly. She rushed up to him and stopped a yard away.

"Welcome back." He said, noticing that she no longer held Dratini's Pokèball. "What happened to you Dratini?"

"I traded it. Where are the sheets for the tournament. That tell who's battling." She responded.

"On the hotel desk." The girl ran past him. He shook his head. 'She's like a female Ash, always running this way and that. What's her name, anyways?' He walked inside to see the girl sitting on a nearby chair with one of the sheets. Gary noticed that some of his friends were around, but weren't paying attention.

The girl laughed. This would be easier than she thought. She was signed up for the first battle. This caught the attention of a few people around her.

"What's so funny?" Gary asked.

"I'm in the first battle. Who's this Ash guy?" The girl asked. A boy looked up at her, no longer talking to his Pikachu about how long his friends were taking. He knew it didn't take an hour to drop stuff into a room. He pulled out a sheet and looked at her name.

"I'm Ash Ketchum, from Pallet Town of Kanto. Your name is Violet?" Ash said.

Violet nodded. "Yes, that's me. Good luck tomorrow, you'll really need it."

A boy with blonde hair and glasses looked up at her and chuckled before looking at his machine he was tinkering with. "I wouldn't be so sure about that, Miss Violet. Ash is one of the greatest battlers in here. His technique can't be outdone. Oh, and my name is Clemont."

Violet shrugged. "You know how tournaments go. They open up with a big bang. You know, two great, amazing trainers duel in the first round. Usually they go with some that they know are the strongest. Ash may have met his match, but you'll have to wait until tomorrow to see." With that Violet stood up and walked out of the hotel, heading towards the shore.

Ash frowned and stood up. "If she's my competition, and she's training, then I have to train! I'm not waiting any longer for the others!" Ash ran out, Pikachu right behind him. His friends were standing on the stairs, walking down from their rooms. They laughed at Ash's lack of patience before following him.

Ash ran in his swimsuit, looking for a fellow trainer that wanted to battle. Even though he was in a swimsuit, he knew his wasn't going to swim. He only wanted to battle. His friends trailed behind him, setting their towels down before rushing into the midday water. But Ash couldn't hang out with them. He had to be prepared for tomorrow. Otherwise, he wouldn't advance in the Solar Tournament.

Violet stood on the nearby dock, watching Ash as he observed the people around him. He finally spotted her, and seemed to contemplate going over to her. He started over to her. A boy with his green hair in a loose ponytail got to her first.

"Hello, my name is N. You are?" He said as he walked the last few feet.

"My name is Violet." She said calmly, watching Ash falter. Was he going to try and battle her?

"So I've heard. You've made quite a motivation for Ash, if I could call it that. He plans to train instead of swim here so he can win tomorrow." N chuckled as Violet did the same. When they calmed, he continued. "Tell me, what are your thoughts on Pokèmon liberation?" N asked. His eyes watched her as she thought over the question. Sure, Team Plasma was gone, but he wanted to know.

"Liberating Pokèmon? It all depends. If it's a great bond they have, and many years together, then nobody should take them apart. If the trainer hurts his or her Pokèmon, and controls them with fear, then somebody should step in." Violet said. N smiled happily.

"Good. Well, it was nice meeting you. With that, N jumped into the water, splashing Violet. He turned to the girl. "Care to hop in?"

Violet shook her head and backed away. "I'm not in a swimsuit."

N laughed, a deep sound, yet soft and enchanting. "Then go get into one, and join me!" He seemed so polite, yet so much like a child and an adult at the same time that Violet couldn't help but smile. She nodded.

"Give me ten minutes, and I'll be back." With that, she raced towards the hotel happily.

This was the first human friend she'd made in eight years.
